Our weather took a surprising turn for the Wintery worst on Thursday and consequently I'm a little off my usual schedule. David and I are now iced in for the weekend. Not the worst thing that could happen considering that our fridge is moderately stocked, our power is ON, there are Christmas tunes playing in the background, and we're …
As I expected, between our common interest in writing, history, and education and our undeniable "gift for gab", Colleen and I shared a wonderful conversation over hot tea and dessert when I visited her earlier this year for her Style Story. Among other things, we discussed her background in poet and literature, how that influenced the …
It's curious that when faced with the task of introducing the woman who taught me most successfully the power of prose and the beauty of literature, I'm at a loss for compelling words. In fact, it seems that little could adequately sum up my high school experience with Colleen Whitver. You probably don't know this, but I was …
Ah, December. The month that always takes us by surprise. I can't believe it's really here and Christmas is a mere four weeks away! After we all take a moment to calm ourselves and breathe a deep, relaxing breath of reassurance that we will indeed be okay, let's jump into the next installment of the Style Story Gift Guide.

And, like much of the world around us, our minds are now shifting towards Christmas. Naturally …
Ever since I published THIS post I've been thinking about the role that blogs and social media play in our self-perception and personal satisfaction. I'm not alone in this either, apparently. I've noticed many of my friends and fellow bloggers discussing the same thing recently. It can be murky water between inspired and envious, …
Let's pick up where we left off on Friday with Jennifer Blumenstock's Style Story. Jennifer's style is relaxed, vintage-inspired, and family-centric. As part of the creative team behind the family owned and run jewelry line, Three Bishops, her career and design work fall under a similar set of descriptors. She and her two sisters, …
"Personal style is something of a mystery—it’s as unique as your own handwriting." I came across this quote on the J.Crew blog (the only company blog I follow, because it's just that great) and I love what it implies. Style is mysterious. It's not a formula. We each have our own distinct expression of it. And it's not a matter of …
