  what i'm watching... nothing cures hump day better than a couple episodes of the nanny  and an espresso creme martini. a midweek treat! what i'm listening to... check out my newest playlist, called  parisian shabby chic . i was listening to leighton meester's  hit heartstrings  which gave me the initial inspo. this playlist is saccharine and feminine. something like a french twee vibe. think macaron towers and knee socks, lace and frills, messy hair and makeup. clumsy and dainty.  the following runway show is a visual representation. feel free, like me, to mute john galliano's choice of runway music and swap it with my playlist, indulge in my sweet treat to you: to round up the month, here's top 10 songs saved in may: cool cat - juliette armanet la paloma - santec music orchestra captain drag - sebastien bouchet aguas de marco (joga bossa) - smoke city under the gun - supreme beings of leisure if i were a boy (maurice joshua mojo uk remix) - beyonce vogu...

  short work weeks are great, especially after a long road trip. in this week's case, though, i am not catching a break. i have two weeks between two trips (vermont last week and - surprise! - croatia mid june) and for some reason i have doctors' appointments, birthdays, shopping trips (for mom), and beauty appointments lined up almost each morning before work and every evening. there's no rest for girls who are insatiable travelers, i tell you. here's a picturesque postcard from our final day in vermont: it was such a warm day hidden behind the clouds, and our whole ride was filled with light as we chased the sunset back to ohio .  sib and i treated ourselves to a sushi dinner friday was a great day to take it easy, as we got mocktails  at kava sol , glanced through garden centers, and had homemade paninis for dinner, treating ourselves at the end with delicious ice cream cones at king kone . it's our tradition to shop for mom each time we visit the family, and we ...

  what i'm watching... a new 'usual' is watching the nanny  weekly. no wonder i've been obsessed with color combos and patterns lately.  besides the nanny, boyfriend and i have been glancing at family guy, qvc sales, and harry potter reruns.  it's like being in a hotel! what i'm reading... currently reading a digital copy of the latest new yorker . the article on boots riley from   the coup  got me listening to his whole discography one day, and i am eager to watch his movie the  boosters  and sorry to bother you , starring keke palmer, and lakeith stanfield, respectively.  what i'm listening to... tune into my travel playlist for  vermont road trip , containing upbeat bops to keep the drive lively, as well as relaxing tunes such as chopin, while admiring the dreamscape around us. 

  key spring/summer 2026 trends inspired as always by one of my fave bloggers,  paperdoll sammy  i followed her suit, and interpreted british vogue's  key ss26 trends . mode sportif i admittingly do not put enough emphasis on the fashion of athleisurewear. yet, i am more and more inspired by ways to chic-ify our daily exercise looks. i chose a sport dress with built in shorts, my newest sporty addition to the close, the forest green gazelles. added uniqlo bag and a tie dye sporty cap and oversized sunnies for the ultimate hottie alert. color blocking instead of popping bursts of color, this season i opted for muted tones of our classics: these velcro sandals with green, pink and periwinkle, navy shorts, and a muted green polo crop top. magenta tote, baby pink button earrings, and red sunnies. utility dressing dressing for comfort and being aware of the crazy weather ohio brings us. layers are a necessity, good boots for a surprise muddy area, a bucket hat for if and ...

boyfriend and i were eager to get out the state for this long weekend. i've been challenging myself to travel each month, even for a day trip. this month, we visited the tiny quaint town of wells , which you may remember from last august's report:  'my week in vermont' . we decided to open up summer pre-season and do stuff boyfriend has been eager to show me, which i was unable to see last time.  this place is boyfriend's happy place, and while i'm a city girl thru and thru, i can appreciate the pastures just below the appalachians, the quaint towns full of history, and boyfriend's stories, as well as dipping my fingers straight into maple syrup cans.  here's a brief travelogue  of this quaint countryside getaway: friday i finished paperwork pretty early, as everyone has been itching to wrap up work and start the long weekend. i kept my email open as we embark on a 7-and-a-half-hour drive. i've got plenty of time to review emails anyways.  boyfriend ...
