Good Tidings

When current events turn sad, I often shutter the blog for a while. Social media, too. I don’t like to say that I retreat from the world, but in many ways I do. I like to press pause for a while and spend a lot of time thinking. I like to ponder apocalypse planning (although this could also be caused by excessive episodes of The Walking Dead and Homeland).

If you celebrated Thanksgiving last week, I hope it was everything you wished for.

Fall Flower Dress

I bought this dress at the height of summer, but with long sleeves it was a definite no-go until the days became cooler. I could see it possibly being an okay winter dress, too, but we’ll see.

I’m having a busy few weeks– I’ll be attending weddings and events related to weddings for practically the entire month! I’m hoping to have some time for writing. But if not, I’ll see you on the flip side.

GEORGINE Spring 2016

GEORGINE Spring 2016

I recently realized that I’ve seen GEORGINE for a few seasons, enough to begin observing some evolution. It’s rare when you’re able to follow a designer from her first show at fashion week. I’ve gone from sitting front row to seeing it become star-studded (Laverne Cox is so tall!), which means that people are really starting to take notice.
