I love this etsy store by Claire and Me. Everyone needs a little snark in their life – and OMG I know some people who should be on the receiving end of some of these cards. Bet you do, too.

photos via Southern Proper website Oh, do I have a thing for the look of a southern boy. The tousled hair, casually preppy, slight drawl, impeccably mannered and wickedly charming boy. The one who can talk finance and hunting, tradition and travel. The one who can make everyone feel at ease at a party, but [...]

Dear Jackholes: How kind of you to leave me a piece of paper letting me know you have gone through my checked luggage. I can save you the cost of that flyer, however, because each time I open my carefully and thoughtfully packed suitcase it looks like a g-ddamned gorilla has jumped in and raped [...]

Well that’s a heavy word for a Monday night, ain’t it? Don’t blame me, blame Cecily. See, I was reading this post of hers and it happened to mention the idea of a retreat in which you do not speak. You spend the entire time in silence. There are many in my life, past and [...]

I’m spending a lot of time on the road these days and it’s occurred to me how completely UNINTERESTING airports and luggage are. Until these. Heys Luggage is just damn inspired.

This ring stayed on my mother’s right hand ring finger for at least 20 years. I remember growing up looking at this ring. I played with my mom’s rings (this one and [...]

It’s conference season. That means that it’s time to pack up and hit the road. As of last Saturday I will officially be gone every week for some period of time through the end of June. Mostly. There’s not a big enough break to count some of the weeks. Right now I’m in Baltimore covering [...]

I have to admit, this bag shocked the ever-loving hell out of me. I’m not sure if it’s cool or scary. The handle is crafted with an American Civil War sword handle. (Yes, really.) I know that if I was a mugger and saw a woman carrying this thing I’d sure as hell run the [...]
