This combination is sure to be a staple for me this spring/summer (if spring ever gets here). It’s no secret that I am obsessed with this skirt and I love how versatile it is – easy to dress up or dress down. You’ve seen it for work and on vacation and now here it is for a casual weekend look.

One of my more recent projects – Oddness/Weirdness, and a couple before that, involved using a hover effect with the social media icons. And, even more recently one of the bloggers who downloaded my free social media icons and shared with me her blog & her hover effect, as well. So I thought I’d share with you how to do this yourself, because it is pretty awesome.

this weekend, we got to experience our first snow in charlotte (we missed the first “big” one this winter). it was a big wet snow that didn’t stick, but it definitely got me in the mood for a yummy soup and crusty bread. i’m no gourmet chef, so i stuck with something simple – a canned tomato soup, doctored up to taste like one of my favorites: tomato basil bisque.
