Glasses
Hi, my name is Jess and I wear glasses. I am really a closet glasses-wearer as I am in contacts all day and only take them out to wear my glasses when I am home at night and in the morning before I put them in. My glasses career started way back in 3rd gradeContinue reading “Glasses”
What to Wear – Workout
We enjoy food in this house – if you read this blog, that is pretty clear. But we also live an active lifestyle to make sure we’re staying healthy and in balance to our foodie nature.

Wrap Dress
Boy, that Diane von Furstenberg sure did us all a favor inventing the wrap dress nearly 40 years ago. I have a couple wrap dresses that I don’t wear too much anymore now that I work from home. But, I had a meeting earlier this week and it was the perfect warm spring day soContinue reading “Wrap Dress”

I always appreciate a reason to get dolled up and eat delicious food, I bet that’s not a surprise to hear. =) This year for Mother’s Day we’re heading to brunch with my mom and dad and my sisterContinue reading “What to Wear – Mother’s Day Brunch”

Now that it’s getting warm and holidays like Memorial Day are right around the corner, I thought it time I share my spectacular and easy pasta salad “recipe.” It’s not really a recipe since I just mix a bunch of ingredients together, but there are a few key hints that I use making this pastaContinue reading “Spectacular and Easy Pasta Salad”
Anthro Shoes
I remember back in the day (I don’t know maybe around 2000, 2001?) going to the the Atrium Mall (RIP Atrium Mall) in Chestnut Hill with a specific mission to go to the giant Anthropologie, which was the first location in our area. The style back then was so new and unique and I rememberContinue reading “Anthro Shoes”
