The Everyday Sophisticate

A nostalgic look back at our 28-year journey with a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee — the car that carried our family through milestones, memories, and nearly 500,000 miles. More than a vehicle, it became a symbol of love, loyalty, and simple living.

So this Halloween — or anytime life hands you an invitation to have fun — take it. Go all in. Be the fancy witch. The world needs more women who know how to make an entrance — and who aren’t afraid to sparkle while they do it.

Recently, a new (well, old) love has been stealing the spotlight in my garden — the bold, tropical beauty of Fatsia Japonica.
