Weekend With Gram
Hi from Baltimore! I’ve been having lots of fun hanging out with my grandma and doing some relaxing with my mom and sister!
Obviously, good food has been involved. Some highlights have been the authentic Maryland crab cakes, whiskey sours at the retirement center’s bar, and an enormous bread pudding that I shared with Kath.
And the Loehmann’s shopping was fabulous! Though I didn’t find a striped clutch, I found another cute handbag and four dresses!
I also found my nude heels when my mom and I peeked in Nordstrom rack today!! SOOOOO excited to wear warm-weather clothes, and the forecast looks awesome for the coming week.
I’m here for one more night and then I’m heading home tomorrow. It’s been great to get outta town and spend time with family.
Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. Ciao.

No trip to Baltimore is complete without stopping into the Towson Loehmann’s. My grandmother has been shopping there for like 50 years! Spring is here, so I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for the following:
- A white blazer. I just gave away my old one away because it was too small and had stains on it. I’d love to find a longish one that’s also soft!
- Colored flats to add a pop to jeans days.
- A striped clutch for a nautical touch.
- A pure white shirt to make me feel clean and fresh.
- A silky blouse in a bright color or unique print.
- Nude pumps – they were on the list last year and didn’t happen.
- And a classic summer sundress. Because I live in them once we hit 80*
And, the inevitable question – what’s on your spring list?
Read MoreAnother Season
Another year, another Labor day; it’s time for that post again. We all love fall clothes, and every year, I take peak at the new arrivals online, and I fall in love. This year? Not so much. I had to actually do some digging and searching to find pieces that felt new and different, and even the picks below don’t feel particularly fall-ish. Perhaps I’m getting too picky or perhaps I need to physically see and touch the items? I don’t mean to give this post a negative vibe though! I’m sure I’ll be lusting for a million things once I visit the mall. For now, these are pieces I’d like for my autumn wardrobe!
I have been enjoying wearing dresses to work. This year, I’m definitely transitioning from back-to-school to working woman. I’d love some work appropriate dresses with sleeves for chilly October days.
J-crew and Forever 21
My Mad Men watching habits have got me really into the bow tie shirt and pencil skirt combo. And I love that I work in an office now where this outfit would not be too dressy.
Off My Shoulders (and Toes)
I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders. I’m finished with all of my assessment cases and IEP meetings. A few more counseling cases to see next week and I’m done and done with this internship. Whew.
And it’s [fashion] Friday!
I snagged these wooden shoes for $19 with a gift card at Urban. The color isn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but at that price, I couldn’t resist.
Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life.
