babyychild asked: Hey girl! I LOVE your blog! I'm trying to rebuild my wardrobe and I'm have trouble finding preppy clothes for pear-shaped people such as myself. I'm not exactly a skinny minnie but I do have a tiny waist and although throwing a belt on to accentuate my waist has been a saving grace it's getting a bit old. Any suggestions?

I've been wearing them around my house since I got them but am about to go on vacation for Christmas...

saltwaterwishes asked: in the "painted the town red" photo, where are you grey gloves from?
sick.
Had a horrible headache yesterday. Took an insanely long nap. Slept for 10 hours through the night. Stayed in bed for another hour this morning. (This is completely unlike me, FYI.)
This afternoon, I felt like I had something stuck in my throat. It was hard to swallow. Went to the doctor. Blood drawn. Negative mono test (thank goodness for me and for someone else hahaha). Positive...
laaltura asked: where did you get your shoes in the Unabashedly Prep post in NYC with your red jeans? They are too cute!
