No, no... this post is not about the best way to dress your summer salads, rather how to dress your summer self in breezy, lightweight dresses that will keep you cool through the icky 80-some percent humid Kentucky summer.
Actually, as I write, the man and I are in Chicago, where the humidity ...
On the 4th
We know by now that I'm very much averse to red, white, and blue everything on the 4th. 30-something years of star-spangled birthdays have made me lean towards a more toned-down color combo for my celebrations each year. Whether there's a gorgeous blue and white tablescape or an all-red flower ...
Patio Dreams
I'm thrilled that we've finally got some furniture again on our teeny rear patio. Like so many other spots in our home, this small space has gone under some major transitions in the last 5 years. Luckily, though, given it's small stature, the changes to this space were quick and easy.
When we ...

Second Quarter Reads
Southern Lady Code by Helen Ellis: (not photographed because I lent it to a friend) Billed as a collection of funny essays of a genteel Southern lady transplanted to New York on said Southern lady's adaptation to NYC living, I was definitely kept entertained. However, at times, I got really, ...
Summer, Finally
I'm so stinking happy summer is here!! Granted, I'm never a fan of Kentucky's blazing hot temps and humidity so heavy that my glasses fog up as soon outside, but there's something nice about seeing the sun out every day (when the summer storms stop) and leaving my coats in the coat closet where ...
A Tropical Tablescape
It's appropriate, given the forecast for the next 10 days (thunderstorms and humidity for everyone!), that I'm in something of a tropical mood. This weekend, I rocked a zebra print day dress, started craving mai tais and Pina coladas, and picked up an armful of tropical stems from Mahonia to put ...
To the Fathers
There's something to be said about the men in our lives. The ones who held our hands as we learned to walk, who handed us the keys to an old Oldsmobile on a Sunday afternoon when we were 14. There's a strength in an opinion unmarred by fluff, and heart-to-hearts against a stubbly cheek.
There's ...
An Easy Lime Tart
I'm a sucker for a light dessert... Whether it's a fluffy, espresso-filled tiramisu on the patio at Carmine's in Chicago or a teeny creme brûlée at Brooklyn and the Butcher, there's something about having a dessert that's pale in color and whipped to perfection that I just love.
This isn't to ...
