Saturday was gorgeous here in Maine, perfect crisp, autumn weather. I took the pupper on a nice long walk, Ross and I went to Freeport (where we saw Samuel L. Jackson at the L.L.Bean store – odd) and I started working on my wedding registry (way too much fun!).
By dinner time I didn’t feel like concocting an entirely new outfit. So I improvised. Since I like to conserve clothes (in other words: don’t want to add to my growing pile of laundry) I opted to transition my day outfit to evening with a few switch-a-roos.
Day:
Skirt: American Apparel (from Loehmann’s)
Shirt: L.L. Bean Signature
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Bag: Vintage Dooney & Bourke
After our errands we went out for the evening to a great new noodle bar (review to come) in town called Pei Men. Though in retrospect I fear I may have looked like a street walker in this ensemble (Ross swears I didn’t), I took the same skirt / tights and “evening-ed” it up with some leopard and my favorite military-style jacket.

Shirt: Rome & Juliet Couture (Loehmann’s)
Jacket: H&M
Bag: Michael Kors
Flats: Steve Madden
On a side note, does anyone else have a hard time saying “Samuel L. Jackson”? Too many L’s! It always comes out of my mouth “Samuellellll.” No? Just me? Ok.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

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.
