Early in my career, I wore mostly neutral colors, but my bag or shoes were always something completely different. A black sheath dress paired with purple stilettos. A gray wool skirt and cream sweater with red boots. Those unexpected pops of color made my outfits interesting and helped me stand out (I'm a smidge over 5'). Over time, though, the color disappeared.

I recently read The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.  Have you read it?  Aside from really enjoying the writing, the storyline, and the book club discussion it generated, it made me think about letter-writing.

Sip, Style, and Savor

An intimate evening of personalized styling, fall fashion, and fresh flavors

The first Your Perfect Pause event has arrived! 

On Tuesday, August 25, 2026…

Lately, I’ve become obsessed with art. Looking at it, reading about it, buying it… It all started last year during a trip to Atlanta.

Whether you call it a "Me Time" day or an intentional reset, there is something incredibly satisfying about aligning your physical space with your mental goals during the spring.

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that a bubble bath or a nap can’t fix. It’s that heavy, drained feeling where your mind is hazy and your body feels physically spent. We often promise ourselves that a weekend "off" will be the cure—only to find that come Monday morning, the tank is still bone-dry.

Often, that’s because we aren’t resting the right parts of ourselves.

We all know the feeling of running on empty. We give our energy to our jobs, our families, and our endless to-do lists, often leaving ourselves for last. But I’ve learned over the years that taking time for yourself isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity that ripples outward. When you nourish your own mind, body, and spirit, the joy and peace you find are felt by everyone around you.
