Welcome to my corner of the Internet... which is what exactly? Well, in internet lingo, it's a blog. That word sounds so nasty. It reminds me of a bad cold. (For all who are interested, I just checked online and the term originates from the idea that it's a web log...weblog...blog...I follow, but it's still unpleasant sounding.) Let's just call it a forum. A cyberspace, meeting place hosted by me that is meant to educate and engage. So please read along, and post your comments whenever the feeling strikes you.

Picnic Perfect

Living in the Nation's Capital, picnic tables and picturesque backdrops are plentiful. For such outings, consider going neutral to stay cool, wearing fun-loving sandals you can slip on and off, and don't forget a great hat. In this ensemble, you'll look both picnic and picture perfect.

Workin for the Weekend

We cannot tell a lie, we're already ready for the weekend. Here's a sneak peak of what we'll be wearing as soon as the clock hits five on Friday. Lilly Pulitzer will help kick it off with white stone sandals and her brightly colored silk floral arm clutch. To really get us in the mood for fun in the sun we'll pair it with Regatta colorful bangles by Fornash for another splash of color and a whole lot of sass. Here's to TGIF!

Coyly Cool

Having amazingly cool style doesn't have to be brazenly bold. Take this understated ensemble for instance. Muted tones and a laid back vibe come together with the addition of these gold Koi sandals by Lilly Pulitzer. They add a pop of the unexpected and a whimsical note that makes this look much more than basic.

I Get It Now

Friday the 13th. Amazing a date has such a powerful effect on some people. There's even a word for the fear of it: friggatriskaidekaphobia.

While I'm usually superstitious and tend to steer clear of black cats and walking under ladders, Friday the 13th (the day and not the movie...I'm a total baby when it comes to horror flicks) never concerned me. This morning, I'm wasn't sure what I was supposed to fear doing today. So I set about my day as usual.

Something unexpected, and bad, actually happened though. We figured out out we miscalculated our DC sales tax bill by $10,000, and it wasn't in our favor. Waaaah! Was is merely coincidental that the day we discovered that we occasionally can't add was Friday the 13th? Perhaps. But next time it comes around, I'm… More

Bunny Hop

With Spring in full swing, there's no better time to try on these Butter kitten heels with your favorite flowery frock. In a light lavender, with 50s flair, they are prim and proper enough for Saturday Synagogue or Sunday Church but are also ready to skip, hop and jump to your favorite tune.

Summer Lovin'

Summer lovin' had me a blast...especially in this outfit. Long, flowy Maxi dresses are a breeze to wear but also undeniably alluring. With the addition of black strappy sandals by Kelsi Dagger and bangles and chandelier earrings for extra drama, this outfit is easy, breezy and beautiful.

BEHIND THE SCENES

And so it begins...

Sometimes I think I'm crazy. Is that OK? Because in my case it's entirely true. Case in point, I have two small children (age 5 and 3), a husband I adore, a business I love, a staff I worship, and great friends I don't have enough time to see...and yet...I want more.

I don't want more, as in more things. Granted great shoes make a difference, but I know where to go for those (as do you if you are reading this). What I genuinely want is to is to help people, and I think I've found a way.

Back in summer 2009, we started the What To Wear Wednesday email campaign when enough customers asked me for advice how to style a particular pair of shoes (in this case it was the Margarita by Butter). I put together… More

Kindred Spirits

Colorful but not commanding, these Frye flats blend in with floral patterns as if they were kindred spirits. The layered look adds to the casual, haute hippie vibe while the accessories add a breezy beachy vibe.

Never Short on Style

When breaking out your shorts this summer don't sell yourself short. Sure, it's simple to slide on a pair of flip flops but we suggest you add these boho chic huarache sandals instead. Paired with a flower-power button down, this outfit touches on the 70s, hippie-inspired trends of the season, but still remains modern and fresh.
