[ Street Walker ]

Last Saturday, I met with Liz from Honest Fashion at Le Pain Quotidien in DuPont for coffee and pain du chocolat. It's fun to talk fashion inspiration with other folks who might find the latest Jeffrey Campbell chain wedge sneakers in Elle just as swoon-worthy.

Are you a local blogger? We'd love to hear from you! [ Be sure to dish on what you thought of Amanda Seyfried's August 2013 Elle spread! ]

Independence Day

O, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain......

When I think of my beautiful country, I don't have to think much further than the little town I grew up in. A high desert with all four seasons, and agriculture like you wouldn't believe! Cheers to being an American today! If you have a Harley, ride it! And have some apple pie ;-)

America! America! 

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining 

DC......

Missed are the days of apple orchards and blazin' Summer heat. Still, what better way to celebrate your country's independence than in its Capitol? Cheers to all my fellow citizens of this great land, and a humble thank you to all those who have served allowing us this day of celebration!

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Rendezvous + NYC

Today's the day! Dré and I are on our way to rendezvous in NYC! 

This is our first "getaway" trip together and although we've only shared with you a couple times about it (here + here), we are ecstatic! In fact, we could barely contain ourselves as we said goodbye over the phone when Dré was boarding her flight-- from Gate8 I'll have you know! And, isn't it just perfect that she's coming in her 8 shirt for her first visit to the city?

As for me, I'm driving up on a coach for the 4hr trip. My shoes + wardrobe are safely-- I hope!-- stored underneath. I plan to catch some zzz's, do some work, and maybe catch a few more zzz's. Hey, I've been working weeks on end. A girl needs her beauty sleep (;

We snapped a couple pics before running out the door. Keep checking back as we update you on our fashionable adventure in America's fashion capital!
