Every so often, we chat fashion at Carrots. I hope it feels like going shopping with a friend, but not having to try on jeans….or leave your couch. March has been busy, friends.

You know Karen Edmisten, right? If you don't, you need to start reading her beautiful books. Karen is one of my all-time favorite bloggers and just an all-around delightful lady.

This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 120
Before you hate me for these Spring-like photos, just remember: Florida has giant mosquitos for 8 months of the year. When you're strolling in evening summery breezes, we will be hiding from bugs next to the air conditioning vent wishing we didn't live in a swamp. But in the meantime....we are living it up.

Seeing the Sacred: Kristin Lavransdatter, parenthood, and conversion with Tyler Blanski
Remember when I reviewed that amazing book, When Donkeys Talk? Well, since that review the author, Tyler Blanski, has become Catholic and he chatted with Christy and I on the podcast this week all about his conversion from Anglicanism, why we all love Kristin Lavransdatter so much, what true relevance means for the Church, the sanctifying nature of parenthood, and so much more!

Dress Like Downton: A BBC Inspired Fashion Post
I shared a photo on Instagram of a Lady Mary Crawley-inspired outfit the other day and I thought it might be fun to do a fashion post connected to my obsession with BBC costume dramas. It's a real obsession--Christy and I devoted a whole podcast to shows about dresses. And the Downton Abbey season finale is on tomorrow, so the timing seemed perfect. I'm convinced I was born in the wrong era … [Read more...]
