There’s something about all this (awful) snow that is making me want to wear bright, cheerful colors. Perhaps to combat the sadness in my heart? Maybe to ensure that someone will find my lifeless body if I become trapped in an 8 foot tall snow bank? Who knows, but I have basically become Rainbow Brite these past couple weeks.
Ok, maybe not Rainbow Brite, but orange and leopard is a loud combination. But you know what? I don’t care! I want to wear bright colors, gosh darn it. It makes me feel better, and frankly it very well might become a safety issue. If I wind up half dead in a snow drift I can at the very least wave my cardigan in the air and signal for help.
Dramatic? Oops.

Have you been rocking some brights lately? Do they keep your heart happy? Have they saved you from an untimely snow-related death?

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 love this outfit! I have decided that you need to be my style guide. So channel whatever fashion vibes you have directly to me.
Thanks,

Holy cow! I looove this combination. I feel like the combination of orange and leopard print are so unexpected, but in the best possible way!
the orange sweater definitely brightens up the outfit.

i’m lovinggg this outfit. i think it’s one of my faves of yours. and i’m adoring the new header…i think i already commented on it
Yes! Awesome! I don’t know what it is, but the winter blahs hit me full force last night. I’m hoping tonight I can manage to cook dinner and/or put on pants.
And if I do get there, I hope they’re as bright, cheery and coordinated as this!
I love this.
Leopard + any bright color is usually an A+ in my book.
Love it all with these boots, too. Yess’m.
