I’m writing this while snuggled into bed, wearing a sweater, listening to She and Him, and waiting for the rain while I enjoy my new ‘Sweater Weather’ scented Wallflower– not a bad start to October! September is supposed to be the ‘beginning’ of fall (except in Texas where it doesn’t cool down until November!), but […]
The Perot
After months of driving past and saying, “I want to go to the Perot museum!” (because I do say that), we finally visited! For those of you who don’t live in Dallas, the Perot, or Perot Museum of Nature and Science, opened in 2012 and has become one of the most popular museums in town. […]
South Korea Part 5
Our second weekend we were back in Suwon, and decided to visitĀ Minsokchon, a Korean folk village on the outskirts of the city. It’s sort of like a Korean version of colonial Williamsburg, with people dressed up in period outfits, traditional demonstrations and performances, and loads of touristy souvenirs.Ā I’m not really cut out for farm […]
South Korea Part 3
I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July full of fireworks and great food! Now that the long weekend is over it’s time to jump back into my trip to Korea! Right after Gyeongju we jumped back in the car and headed for Busan, way down at the southern tip of the country and […]
What to Wear: 4th of July
I can’t believe it is already July, this summer is flying past! I guess that’s what happens when you run off to Korea for two weeks but it is crazy to think I am over a month into my summer already. And as always, with July comes Independence Day and a chance to dress as […]
Fort Worth
I always say I’m from Dallas, even though I live in the suburbs (I don’t want to get New Yorkers too confused), but I often forget about Fort Worth, a big city all its own that is just as close. I once had a professor who, when I said I lived in the suburbs, asked, […]
What to Wear: Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! Since everyone seems to be headed to a cookout, bbq, party, or parade today, I thought I’d put together a few outfit suggestions in case you are at an utter loss (like me) over what to wear. While this post is specifically for Memorial Day, most of these outfits can carry you […]
On the Steps of The Met
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of my favorite places in New York. I have always loved art and going to museums, and living in a city full of celebrated art houses is a dream! This is my second trip to the Met this year, just because I love it so much! My next […]
New Orleans: Part 2
Saturday night in New Orleans- it just conjures up images of partying on Bourbon street, doesn’t it? My Saturday night consisted of the wedding and boy, was it a blast. We Southerners really know how to throw a party, and weddings are our specialty. The ceremony was held at St. Mary’s, a beautiful old church […]
New Orleans: Part 1
I’m delving into the past for blog posts, as I’m feeling very uninspired lately. So, now is the perfect time to blog about my trip to New Orleans! I spent a lotĀ of time in New Orleans growing up, as my grandparents were living there and we made the short flight from Dallas to see them […]
