Made in the USA Talltique tall maxi skirt

Made in the USA – Talltique Private Label

I’m thrilled to be back with another edition of my new Made In… Series. This time I am chatting with Helen Pappas, the owner of the Bethesda, MD based tall brand Talltique, about her made-in-the-USA Private Label items. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you’ve undoubtedly seen me express my love for my Talltique faux leather bomber jacket that I bought awhile back. Helen kindly gifted me a Tall Crinkle Maxi Skirt from the Private Label to try, and I am so pleased with it! First, let me start by saying that I had to take this 49″ […]

Amalli Talli Made in the USA Private Label Maxi Dress

Made-in-the-USA – Amalli Talli Private Label

Ever wonder if there is any tall clothing made in the USA? To kick off my new series Made in…, which highlights where tall clothing companies make their items, I am featuring Amalli Talli’s private label. Amalli Talli is owned by the fabulous tall sister duo Amy and Alli. Last year, Amalli Talli launched its first private label collection consisting of two maxi skirts, a maxi dress (with a slit…my all-time fav maxi style) and a jumpsuit. Read below to get an inside glimpse from Amy on the development of Amalli Talli’s made-in-the-USA private label including info on new items (a button-down […]

Tall Travel Style – California Edition

It seems like I blinked and before I knew it, it had been over 15 months since I’d been home to the U.S. When I landed at LAX a couple of weeks ago, I was SO thrilled to be home that I came very close to bear hugging the immigration officers who said the cursory “welcome home” to me but then thought the better of it lest my enthusiasm be taken the wrong way. Seriously though…hearing that welcome home meant more to me than those strangers will ever know. While I have become relatively comfortable living in Germany as an expat for almost […]

Thoughtful Shopping: IVKO Wool Sweater Dress

When was the last time a garment REALLY thrilled you? Like you bought something and then you found yourself literally wanting to wear it every single day (except then I guess it would get a little stinky). That’s how I feel about my latest purchase – an extra-fine Merino wool sweater dress from the Serbian brand IVKO – and it’s such a good feeling. This is how I want to feel about ALL of my purchases! Remember how I mentioned I’d found that really cool fair trade shop in my area which not only sold some great brands but also made its own clothing […]

Review of handmade Pink Maharani cashmere pashmina

Thoughtful Shopping Switzerland Edition – Pink Maharani and I Love Tall

When my friend Karen from Tall Wife invited me on an impromptu girls’ trip to Switzerland in November, I enthusiastically accepted the invitation. I envisioned a weekend full of fondue, shopping, exploring and girl talk and I wasn’t disappointed. In the shopping department, I scored a couple of tall tops and a magnificently soft cashmere shawl from Pink Maharani. Wait until you hear the story behind how it was made! Both Karen and I hopped on the train from our respective homes and met in Zurich. You may remember that I had been to Zurich in 2015 and had had a nice […]

Studying my Closet – 4 Items to Buy in 2017

Do you ever stand in your closet and stare at your clothes? I know this probably sounds kind of weird and I don’t typically make a habit of it, but I found myself doing so the other day. I wanted to study the items in my closet that I find myself reaching for again and again when it’s time to get dressed so that I can figure out what I should buy this year. Here are a few things I noticed… I’m loving button-ups lately (and bonus points if they have patterns or texture!) I used to think buttons-up shirts were stuffy and […]

Cold Weather Favorites and Life Lately

As you can see, my late summer break that I took in September turned into a full blown blogging sabbatical. Oops! I’ve had a bit of difficulty getting back into the swing of blogging the past couple of months for a few reasons and decided I’d quickly catch you up on what’s been going down and what I’ve been thinking. Buckle your seatbelt since this is a bit long. First, I just feel like such a busy bee between my part-time job, my volunteer work, my German lessons, managing our household, traveling and maintaining some semblance of a social life. I’m […]

4 Days in the Scottish Highlands - Bealach na Ba road

4 Days in the Scottish Highlands – Tall Travel Style

If you read my posts about Copenhagen, then you know that I was determined not to travel anywhere even remotely hot this summer. I would say we definitely succeeded in beating the heat this summer since the weather in Copenhagen was certainly pleasant and the weather during our 4 days in the Scottish Highlands was borderline chilly. The scenery in the Highlands was truly some of the most dramatic and breathtaking landscapes I’ve ever seen. Part of the charm is how uninhabited the area is with the primary residents appearing to be sheep and cows. Our original plan was to stay somewhere different […]

MARGE Clothing Outfit - Thoughtful Shopping

Thoughtful Shopping Update – Thrifting, 30 Wears and Favorite Pieces So Far

I’m way overdue for an update on my Thoughtful Shopping Series! The truth is I’ve been heavy on the “thoughtful” part and light on the shopping which I’m perfectly fine with. One of the shifts I’m noticing in my buying habits is that I’m slow as molasses in buying things now because I ponder my purchases for quite awhile. If I do buy something, it’s usually because I really love the item, know it’ll fill a void in my closet and know I’ll wear it a ton. I can’t remember the last time I bought something impulsively. Since I haven’t been shopping much, I’m […]
