[ On the Run ]

It's been so go go go for me these days! Here's a few things that are keeping me going:

1) Tunes! Soooo, I just found out about Ariana Grande-- Disney Queen, but very talented!

2) Coffee! Let's be honest. One could not do life without it.

3) Friends! I've started a few groups (Fellowship Cafe & Friday Night Lights) at my church and I'm looking forward to meeting new people! 

I'll be sure to update you on my upcoming events and the fashion that comes with it soon. What's keeping you going these days?

Never underestimate what you might find on the clearance rack. That's where I found this skirt during one of our NYC shopping days this past May. Guess how much... 7 bucks! Yup, it must have been a lonesome piece or some poor misguided girl who shares my size returned it. Whatever, the circumstance, my keen eye found this faux leather snake skin skirt and the rest is history.

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!
