new look.

Do you ever just want to completely reinvent your style? When I see an image like this, I just want to throw everything out of my closet and start from scratch.

Barcelona.

Last time Todd and I went to Barcelona, we arrived late at night, left before dawn, and stayed in the loudest, dirtiest hostel I've ever seen. So when planning the itinerary for our upcoming trip, we knew we had to give the city a second chance. We are staying in this apartment for a few days, and I just can't wait to ingest copious amounts of cava and tapas, wander La Rambla, and check out the city's famous architecture. If you have suggestions for us, please share in the comments!

Happy Feet

I've always shied away from sneakers as anything other than athletic footwear, but lately I've had a change of heart. While I despise the high-heeled high-top look, I love a classic and colorful sneak. Plus, if you're doing a lot of walking, they're so much better for your feet than unsupportive flats, sandals or (obviously) heels.

P.S. How funny is it that all of these girls are still posing as if they're wearing stilettos?

Incredible Edible Eggs

via Eat Live Run. 

I've been on a big egg kick lately. Scrambled, soft-boiled, poached—you name it, I want it. They're just so easy to make and comforting in their warm gooeyness, not to mention cheap and fairly healthy. These are my current favorite eggy dishes, plus a few I really want to try.

Snow Days.

Apparently we moved to Boston just in time for one of the snowiest winters in recent history. Overall, I've considered this a good thing, because if it's going to be ungodly cold out, I'd like it to at least look pretty. We just got another thick frosting last night with another scheduled in a few days. I'm working hard to retain the wonder while looking forward to the long thaw.

Pink Stuff.

Gender stereotypes be damned. Pink still has such a strong pull on me. Happy Valentine's Day.

The Charleston Connection

I'm loving our New England adventure, but I'll be honest: Sometimes I miss Charleston. The little Southern city that was our home for seven years is known for getting into people's bones, and I don't think I escaped its reach. I'll have to start planning another visit to the Lowcountry soon. {Photos by me.}
