I’m feeling kind of “1950′s lady buys her first pair of jeans and wears them to do some housework” in this outfit. Too specific? Not sure why, but I’m getting that vibe and going with it.
I found this black and cream printed blouse at Goodwill last weekend and just love it. I don’t think it’s terribly old, but it has a 1950′s-early 60′s vibe that I like. It’s hard to tell from this picture, but the print almost looks like bunches of tiny H’s (which I like to think makes it look schmancy). I also snagged the vintage taupe Etienne Aigner bag. It was one of those awesome thrifting trips where you just keep finding great stuff. I’m in love with the color, it goes with everything and definitely fits in with this season’s neutrals trends.

I’m headed to Boston on Saturday to meet up with some friends for Wine Riot, a huge wine tasting event at the Park Plaza Hotel. The wino in me is beyond pumped. Hope everyone has some fun things planned, and perhaps some wine!
Also, Happy Earth Day! Check out the SWAPmaine website to learn how swapping is green (and gets you loads of new-to-you clothes for free).

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.
