Spotlight | The Fox Club Sweater from Kiel James Patrick
A few months ago, I purchased The Fox Club sweater from Kiel James Patrick, one of my favorite brands based on the East Coast. This linen-and-wool blend sweater comes embroidered and custom monogrammed (directly from Rhode Island) and is adorned with two lovely foxes. It’s truly the perfect sweater for any lady living in or around Virginia’s hunt country! I have shopped from Kiel James Patrick for years, and the quality of this sweater is just as lovely as the other items I’ve purchased from this brand for myself, my dogs, and my husband.

Until Next Year, Summer!
Ah, September 23, 2023 — the first official day of fall! While I’ve been slowly introducing fall content over the last few weeks on this blog and on my Instagram, I have been patiently waiting for this day to arrive like a child on Christmas morning. My closet has been cleared out and reorganized for this season, my Pinterest boards updated with new fall recipes to try, and our seasonal fall and Halloween-themed movie lists for the next few months have been updated. I’m currently sipping on a cup of Lavender Earl Grey tea (a personal favorite at this time of the year), I have a pumpkin chai candle lit on my desk, and I’m admiring the rain falling outside — I feel cozy and inspired. I plan on spending the rest of the day continuing to plan my fall content and I may do a spot of online shopping.
