ON THE SPOT: SHOP YOUR CLOSET

on-the-spot

Despite the fact that it’s been unseasonably warm the past few weeks (not joking- the temperature as I’m writing this is 83 degrees. What up, October!), I’m elbow deep in the process of transitioning my wardrobe for fall. What is it about a new season that makes us all yearn for a fresh start? And while I am all for picking up new pieces as the weather changes, truth be told, I’m a bigger believer in “shopping your closet,” i.e. taking a good, hard look at what you already own from last season and finding…

FRINGE BENEFITS

It doesn’t matter how old I get- talking about fashion with my friends is always going to be something I do. When I was in high school, it was all about getting ready together- i.e. schlepping all of my “going out tops” over to a friend’s house and trading clothes so we each could have something new to wear that day. For the record, all of this effort was so we could look cute while sitting in someone else’s basement. Hilarious.In college, it was checking in to see who was wearing what out that night…

BEANTOWN’S 5 BEST COFFEE SPOTS

One of my favorite things about exploring a new city is trying out new coffee shops. There’s no better way to get a handle on the local scene or to enjoy some prime people watching, if you ask me.

GET IN LINES

CONFESSION: I could wear a striped shirt every day for two weeks straight (CORRECTION: I probably have) and not run out of options or need to do laundry. No, I’m not moonlighting as Where’s Waldo. And yes, I know you’ve been told they’re super unflattering unless you’re a 6 foot tall Parisian woman riding around town on a bicyclette. But I say, “C’est Faux!” Stripes are my jam. And always have been. It would be the understatement of the century to say that I haven’t gone through my fair share of awkward…

4 BOOKS YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS SUMMER

Summer reading. There was a time in my life that these two words together made me want to sneak out the window and run away to the community pool. Followed by a trip to the library for a SparkNotes version of whatever books I was supposed to be reading, of course. (If you can imagine being 14 and forced to read Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”, you’ll get what I mean. WOOF).That was then.Wear am I now? Most likely curled up with a book, an e-reader, a magazine, or pretty…
