fatigued

 

The military-inspired jacket is a closet staple and ideal for those months that are too warm for a coat, yet too cool for bare arms. Hooded, cinched, cuffed, zipped, or buttoned down, there are endless attractive, affordable, and neutral possibilities to choose from.

Lee Lee’s Hot Kitchen

If there’s one thing Charleston is missing, it’s good sushi, Italian, and Chinese food. I’m talking good, cheap, authentic Chinese food. Sesame and king pao chicken, fried rice, dumplings, spring rolls… there is a serious void here.

Enter Lee Lee’s Hot Kitchen. It’s the closest thing to authentic and edible Chinese cuisine in Charleston–although not a single Chinese person works there which baffled me–at a slightly higher cost. It’s a small space and they don’t accept reservations, but the wait on a Saturday night was no longer than twenty minutes + they offer takeout!

a day in the life

We all know how obsessed I am with my Golden Retriever, Riley, so it’s no surprise that I’ve decided to start documenting her every move some of her more eventful days in a new series called, A Day in the Life.

Since Riley’s been back in Charleston, I’ve slowly started taking her to my dog-friendly office. She’s a menace to society for the first hour or two–going through everyone’s trash cans, roaming from room to room, office to office–but come lunchtime, she’s typically quite good and I can actually get my work done without giving her a second thought. The hope here is that she’ll get less and less curious the more I bring her in. We’ll see how she does.
