About me

This is my second blog and is the product of my moving to a new city far away from home. I got married to my college love in 2012, and promptly moved to Baltimore, Maryland  for my husband’s Residency program – where we spent our first year of marriage. In part, this blog was merely something for me to do, after leaving my friends and social life behind in South Carolina.  Over time it has become a place for me to share my viewpoints, and my life as a means to connect with my audience. Moving to a place so close to Washington had always been a dream of mine, as D.C. is one of my favorite cities.  It is the culmination of history, politics, beauty, culture, and White House Fashion Icons (I’m speaking of Jackie here, I don’t really acknowledge any other FLOTUS in the same manner).  I know Jackie wasn’t southern, but she might as well have been. Big hair, impeccable clothing, always pleasant and genial, pearls, and the nexus of a political empire.  In South Carolina, this persona was the norm for me. I didn’t have to even think about it. After all, who doesn’t wear pearls on a daily basis?? Needless to say, I most definitely stood out amongst my surroundings. It’s hard being a Jackie, in a post-Bravo America. I created this blog as a way to celebrate who I was, and the fact that I was seemingly so different from the rest of the people around me. It is my hope that when you stop by my blog you learn about current events, entertaining, homemaking, interesting places to visit, or even something as simple as the latest trend in fashion.  We have since moved to sunny South Florida, where once again, I find myself the small fish in the very large, very tropical pond. Florida is a melting pot of cultures, and people. Now more than ever I am learning who I am, that’s it’s ok to stand out, and you can never really go wrong if Jackie is your muse.
