Daily Outfit: Weekend Casual

While I’m feeling quite ready for fall weather to arrive, I’m also trying to enjoy the last blast of summer.  Last weekend, the temps were moderate (as in 80’s instead of 90’s) so my boyfriend and I went out for some nice summer bike riding.  I love that I’m learning how to blend style and [...]

Daily Outfit(s): Beach Fun

(As I’m adjusting to a new work schedule this week, and as my tripod is broken, this week will be another set of scheduled topic-related posts. Next week, I’ll get back to regular daily outfit posting)
I’m getting into the swing of work again.  I’m starting a new job later this week as a temporary media [...]

Daily Outfit: Plueys!

First, I just want to say thank you so much for all the entries into the scarf giveaway and the plethora of comments I’ve been receiving lately!  I appreciate each and every one!  Every time I see that there’s a new comment on a post, it makes my day.  So thank you to my wonderful readers, old [...]

Daily Outfit: Monochromatic Blue

Going with Kim’s wonderful inspiration calendar again, I went with monochromatic blue for Monday.  This challenge surprised me – I figured it would be easy, since I have lots of blue in my wardrobe, but when trying to put something together, I realized that many of the shades don’t work well together.  I finally went [...]

Daily Outfit: Revise and Renew

Sometimes you find an item in your wardrobe that is made from good fabric, but doesn’t fit you in exactly the way you want it to.  When something like this happens, it’s best to either take the item to a good tailor who can understand your vision for what the garment should be, or if [...]

Daily Outfit: Studying Casual

Last week, I finished up my comprehensive exam for my Library Science degree.  Basically, I was given a choice of three topics, and had one week to write a well-researched 8 to 10 page paper.  This meant lots of sitting in coffee shops while drinking vanilla lattes and reading research articles.  Hence, most of the [...]

What I’m lovin’: Wellies

Today, it was rainy and blah.  This type of weather usually makes me want to stay inside all day.  But I think if I had a nice pair of Wellington boots, a pretty umbrella and a stylish raincoat like the lovely ladies of academichic have in these three posts, I would be ready to take on [...]

Riding the Pinellas Trail: Part 2

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I went on a biking expedition on the Pinellas trail earlier this week.  I went with my boyfriend, Carlo, and a good friend of ours, Chris.  The day started slightly chilly, but we warmed up with riding.  Thus, I kept switching up my layers to adjust to the temperature.

(Me [...]

Daily Outfit: Riding the Pinellas Trail (Part 1)

The weather has been terrific in Florida lately, perfect for a day of bike riding.  My boyfriend and I are both avid bicyclists, so we and a friend decided to tackle a portion of the Pinellas Trail, a gorgeous paved bike trail only about an hour away from Tampa.  The temperature was just chilly enough [...]

Daily Outfit: Windy Casual

This week is vacation week for me, and the weather is beautiful.  Aside from some rain and cloudiness yesterday, it’s been sunny, windy and cool.  Perfect weather for me to break out this light-weight jacket that I love for casual days.  I bought this jacket at a consignment store years ago.  I altered it considerably, [...]
