You may or may not have noticed that I tend to wear a lot of L.L.Bean Signature clothing. If you noticed, well, thanks for caring so much. If not, I’m not offended. In any case, I love their stuff. It is really well tailored, made of quality materials and has great style. Since I’m being honest, I don’t pay for it. No, I’m not sponsored (but hey – any one want to sponsor me? nudge, nudge). My fiancee Ross works as a web designer for them, so on occasion he gets to raid the sample closet. Yay Christmas in August! A couple of weeks ago he took home butt loads of stuff that I am now happily modeling around town. Funny thing, another Portland blogger is in the same boat as me. Having a significant other working for a clothing company definitely has its perks.
Today I’m wearing the Gabardine Skirt in Deep Forest (though it looks black here) and the Stacked Heel in Natural. I’m also carrying the Mariner Leather Purse (un-pictured), which I carry all the time.
So, while I do receive ridiculous amounts of free things from this collection, I do genuinely really like everything. Good stuff!
So, about that sponsorship thing…

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.
I am digging that skirt on you, perfect fit!

I wear a men’s L shirt– and 34×30 waist jeans… my shoe is a 7 1/2. If you don’t want me to judge, I will be expecting presents… Like comfy slippers or some shit like that.
I love your clothes! So jealous
