Spring Fling

This year has been my first full-time, Winter-into-Spring experience down at our new place in Savannah. And I can attest that winter is way more mild than up North and Spring comes way earlier. Today it’s a cool, cloudy 63 degrees, but it was sunny and 85 a few days ago. All of which means it was time to switch out my closet for a seasonal refresh. I do this twice a year and am pretty merciless when it comes to what I keep going forward and what I sell or give away. Last week I dropped off four shopping bags and one big box of clothing, bags and shoes at a consignment shop I recently discovered. I also sent three boxes to my sister and nieces. Now my Spring/Summer wardrobe feels lighter and more focused. And I love that. This shift also made me feel inspired to get back to sharing my thoughts, style, recos and more with you.

Springing Forward!

No, you are not seeing double. With the hope that warmer days are ahead, I decided to style this cozy sherpa barn jacket from my last post with some of my favorite spring essentials. Like I said in my earlier post, it’s a great layering piece — lightweight yet fully capable of keeping you toasty when necessary. I even think it’s camouflaging how darn cold I really was!

Keeping It Cozy

It’s been a while since I posted, but it feels good to be back. And though Spring may have sprung, the weather is not completely cooperating. In the span of one week, we had a Nor’easter that dumped more than a foot of snow up at our cabin, and chilly wind and rain everywhere else. So as much as I’m more than ready to break out some warm-weather looks, it’s still too soon to pack away all my cozy layers — like the ones that are anchoring this look.

On the Road Again…Part 3

While it’s always fun to revisit favorite places, it’s pretty special to experience someplace new. And when that place is Charleston, you are one lucky traveler. A South Carolina port city founded in 1670, Charleston is defined by its cobblestone streets, (somewhat controversial) horse-drawn carriages, and pastel antebellum houses — particularly in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts. It’s a city made for walking…and walking.

On the Road Again…Part 1

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since Chris and I got back from our 16-day road trip down south. Of course, I wanted to get this post done weeks ago, but my “day job” as a freelance Creative Director took over my writing output and then we came down with COVID. But, just like our escape from a dreary start of Spring to Florida sunshine, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We’re both feeling much better (negative test, please!), and I can finally get the details of our adventure out to you.

Freezy, Breezy Spring Blues

The calendar may say April 18th, but the weather gods say we have to wait a little longer for the warm, sunny days we’re all craving. In the meantime, in Jersey City and environs, we’re facing a Nor’easter, plunging temperatures, and possible flooding. Up at our Adirondack cabin, the skiers are celebrating the 6-8 inches of snow that are expected. So until balmier days settle in FOR REAL, I’ll be layering on as many versatile options as I can find in my closet.
