Salty But Sweet in the Snow & Link Up On the Edge #290
Which do you prefer…salty or sweet? Both together? Or perhaps you don’t have a taste for either. If that is the case, what do you eat? Only bland foods that lack in flavor, I suppose. Well, let me assure you that there is nothing bland about me or my tastes…so I am a salty and sweet girl all the way. However, I don’t think my sweater is referring to culinary marinades or various other savory infusions. While it is supposedly referring to the personality traits of the person wearing the sweater, I am the first to recognize that I am not really a salty person at all. Unless really provoked!…

How Criminal Defense Lawyers Get Involved in Cases of Domestic Violence
Domestic violence, domestic abuse, or domestic assault is a pattern of behavior in an intimate relationship where one partner physically and/or emotionally abuses the other. Abuse can take many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse. The frequency and severity of domestic violence can vary dramatically; however, domestic violence often involves coercive control tactics such as intimidation including threats, isolation, and economic abuse in addition to physical violence. There are qualified criminal attorneys in Los Angeles who are skilled in defending those accused. Although domestic violence happens in all types of relationships, it most often occurs between intimate partners (spouses or domestic partners) and family members. In the United States,…

A Cozy Easter Outfit & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #269
While it did snow here in the North Country over this past weekend, it does not look anything like these photos which were taken back in the beginning of February. All the snow has melted now and it is getting warm enough to melt the snowflakes before they start piling up and forming snow mountains. But as the snow hits the warmer ground and melts away, it merely makes mud season that much muddier. I can’t say that I miss the snow accumulation all that much, but the trade off for mud is not much better. I got on a bit of white boot kick this winter but quickly realized…

Songful Style | “Hi-Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #268
We have shared our walkin’ boots as well as our leather and lace in this songfully sartorial series with my favorite fashionistas. Now it’s time to have a listen to the new tune and start styling something fabulous. Michelle has chosen “Hi-Heel Sneakers” by Tommy Tucker because she remembers with sweet nostalgia how her father played this song when she was a child. I do love how powerful song can be in triggering some of the best memories.

Confetti Sweater & Link Up On the Edge #288
Are you all sick of my snow yet? I am. It is almost April, after all. I know that April showers bring May flowers for most of the northern hemisphere. But in my part of the world, it is more accurate to say that March snows followed by April showers simply brings mud season. No clever rhyming there. What rhymes with mud anyway? Nothing all that savory, to be honest. Also being honest, I shot these photos back at the end of January when we had much more snow on the ground. Right now, there are only few gray patches of filthy snow scattered at street corners and in a…

SIA Gallery of Style | Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Pablo Picasso
You all know how much I love this Style Imitating Art series. Now that I have joined as a co-host, I have to admit that my favorite part is putting together the gallery post. I really appreciate everyone’s unique sense of creativity in interpreting the art and turning it into wearable style and the whole thing just makes my heart happy. And that’s what this is all about…making our hearts happy and allowing that contagion to spread all around us wherever we go. By the way, did you know that happiness is like 100 times more contagious than Covid? (I haven’t checked that statistic because I just made it up,…
