last days of summer

I’m soaking up the last days of summer with a week at the beach on Hilton Head Island with my family. Since my kiddos don’t begin preschool until next week, this late summer vacation is a nice, quiet respite with good friends, when most of the world is already back…

knit dressing

Summer to Fall style can be a challenge sometimes.  The seasons may be changing, but the weather doesn’t always follow suit.  My favorite “one-stop shop” is a knit dress.  It’s the perfect piece for an easy grab and go look.  You can dress up with fun jewels and heels or…
