No, this post isn't necessarily about fall, although the last day of my trip occurred in September. But we're flashbacking today, so it's all good. Anywho, this past Labor Day weekend, I left on a jet plane to visit a good friend of mine who lives in Orange County, CA. Despite the fact that it [...]

things i currently need #11
Shall we? I want all of her clothes. Each. And. Every. One. Classy. Feminine. Elegant. Modern. Yes, Meghan. Yesssss Are y'all familiar with Chip and Joanna Gaines? I'm sure your mother has also gently forced you to watch back-to-back episodes of Fixer Upper on HGTV when she knows that you're positively allergic to anything having [...]
i didn’t look pregnant!
Party people: I rarely wear jumpsuits. Because when I do wear them, I look with child. And since I'm not with child and haven't ever been with child, you can imagine me wanting to avoid appearing that way when it comes to my personal style. Nevertheless, while at Ross a week or so ago, I [...]
Fabu Fashion: Tasty Weekends.
How was your weekend, wherever you are? Mine was delicious. Not only because of the food I ate (and yeah, I keep eating like my metabolism is 16 years old and not close to a brand new decade; we will discuss later), but because Texas gave us two beautiful, sunny, warm, breezy days that were [...]
The Frompadour Files.
Oh, hey. Have you missed me as much as I've missed you, dear reader? Have you longingly gazed at your notifications, hoping to see that I've reached out to you with another post? No? Well, I love you anyway. It's been a while since I've talked about this fro (known as She) on my larger-than-average [...]
Fabu Fashion Monday: A Little Night Music.
Last weekend, my friend and I headed up to NYC to catch a concert by Damien Escobar, a violinist I discovered a few months ago. It was a nice chance to get out of town, even for a quick weekend. Digressing: have I discussed my love/hate relationship with the city? It's a fantastic place for the arts, [...]
Summertime Essentials. (?!)
As expected, the drizzly/rainy/cloudy/depressing 50-degree days of just last week quickly turned into 80-plus degree days in the big city. Our very sad spring went right into cheerful mid-summer. Out came the cute dresses on ladies, the sandals, the much-needed pedicures for toes that appeared to have been trapped in coal mines and were used [...]
Romper Room.
So I stopped wearing shorts sometime around the late 90s/early 2000s. There was no real reason. I recall looking at myself in the mirror one day and deciding that I was no longer in PE class. Therefore: no more shorts. (Deep down, though, summertime and the meeting of thighs...you get my drift, lady out there.) Anyway, [...]
things i currently need #8: swimsuit edition
I will preface by telling you that This Square Peg is perfectly fine in her swimming trunks, a tankini top, and a cover-up. Because she's quite comfortable with being comfortable--including at the beach. And as much as I adore the beach for being the great body unifier (in other words, no matter what you feel about [...]
Summertime, and the Cutting is Easy…
It was going to happen eventually. My longing for change would be manifested via my hair, and that's exactly what happened. Without further ado... I cut my hair. What what? Yes, after making promises to myself that after my cut in January 2014, I would just grow it out patiently and see where it took [...]
