Feature Friday: Old Silver Shed
Today's Feature Friday is really a good one! I found Sandra on Instagram a few months ago and was immediately captivated by her quintessential gray shingled Cape Cod home. She has a blog, but it doesn't have a lot on there yet, so I pulled information from her page to share with you. I asked her if she would let me share her home story with all of you and she agreed, sent me pics to use and so … Read More»

Fashion over 50: Black and White on Repeat
I just can't get enough of black and white as you've probably noticed! You keep seeing it over and over on here, but it's true. I hardly ever meet a black and white print I don't love. I found this new top recently at TJ Maxx and picked it up. It's a great layering piece for summer since it's sleeveless.I wore this to church recently with black pants from White House Black Market that I've … Read More»
