I don’t remember Treton having patterns or anything fun – I just remember the classic white and sometimes people had Tretorns where the loop was navy blue or kelly green.

2019 Patriotic Brooks Trainers
I am always excited to find cute patriotic shoes. I’ve posted about it on the blog before here, and also here and back in 2016 here. I was glancing at Zappos and I saw these new Brooks Launch 6 tennis shoes in red, white and blue and they feature stars and stripes! I love these!
Women’s Patriotic Shoes 2019
Well, here I was going to update my 2016 Women’s Patriotic Shoes post and I see the news this morning about Nike and the Betsy Ross sneakers. What a mess. It is too bad the shoes are getting pulled because they are really cute. They are red white and blue and very summery! I hadn’t…
Patriotic Crocs
I never used to like Crocs. But I hadn’t tried them. Then I borrowed a pair at my Dad’s house from his girlfriend Sandy. They are awesome! Especially when it is chilly outside and you just want a quick outdoor slipper and you don’t want to take off your socks that you were wearing with…
My Winter Closet Staple: Athleta Polartec Leggings
When we moved from Florida to Washington, DC, I knew I was going to need some new winter clothes. I had basic Lululemon yoga pants that I loved, but those were not going to keep me warm on below freezing days! I also had some lined Lululemon winter pants but they were bulky and not…

Il Talismano in La Spezia
I love window shopping in Europe. One night while walking around La Spezia, I spotted this jewelry store. I fell in love with so many of these rings!
Italian BB Cream
I love shopping for beauty products and makeup in other countries. I found so many fun items in Bipa and Meuller in Austria so I was excited to see what I could find in Italy. I tried a few different Tigotà stores in Treviso and Venice but I didn’t see anything I wanted to try….
Favorite Wedding Dresses of 2018
After watching the Royal Wedding, I decided to do a little online wedding dress shopping. I love seeing what the designers come up with for bridal. My favorite designer this year is definitely Rosa Clará.

Everywhere I look this winter I see Faux Poodle Fur Coats! I first spotted them at Zara and now here they are in Italy at OVS. I tried a few on and they aren’t really that flattering (the ones I tried
Gabriela Sabatini Perfume
I love wandering around Müller in Vienna. It is the closest thing to a Walgreens or CVS here in Austria. They have a really good selection of drugstore makeup and they also have high end makeup such

I just LOVE anything that has Poodles on it. While out shopping in Vienna the other day I spotted these cute Poodle house slippers. I didn’t need them. I just bought these Sheep Wool Bootie Slippers
Poodle Bed Pants
I am always finding stuff with Poodles on it. While we were in Italy, I found a fun store called Yamamay. They have a lot of lounge clothing and bed clothes. I happened to notice a soft top and when

Sheep Wool Bootie Slippers
We packed light when coming to Europe so I said goodbye to my REI slippers. They were like sleeping bags for my feet! They were down booties and so warm and comfortable. You couldn\’t wear them outside,
I have a makeup and hair product addiction
I buy too much makeup and too many hair products – especially since moving to DC. I only realize this now that I am cleaning out for our move. We are moving overseas and I can’t take all of this stuff
Pearl Heeled Loafers
These pearl heeled loafers from Jeffrey Campbell are fun! They are very “DC” because of the pearls but they also have a funky edge. I don’t think I could pull off wearing them – what do you think?
