Cherry Blossoms!

It might not seem like it yet, but in a few short weeks DC will bloom with Cherry Blossoms.

Every year I look forward to the end of March when bright pink and white buds start to dot the landscape. I put on my walking shoes and stroll down toward the Tidal Basin just to take in the truly breathtaking site that is the Cherry Blossoms.

The blooms are so abundant that it looks like snow and the stark white of the monuments and the crisp blue of the water make for a very enticing scene indeed.

On Stories

Dream A Little Dream by Mama Cass Elliott


I heard this version of Dream A Little Dream last night at a bar and am absolutely enchanted by it. I can't stop listening to it. Oh, is it Springtime yet?

Spring Dreaming

It still feels like winter outside but I have been spring dreaming for about two weeks now.  This is the time of year I start to get antsy and really excited about pulling out my spring wardrobe.  I've been stocking up on essentials, brightly colored cardigans (20% off on J. Crew.com right now) and nude, patent pumps for everyday.  But, I absolutely died when I saw the Talbots (yup, Talbots) catalog for Spring.  I wanted everything! 

Don't believe me...
