I have a bunch of blog post ideas in the pipeline, so I look forward to sharing with you a number of exciting posts on topics such as fashion from this summer, theme parties that I have hosted, and other projects that I am working on.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance. Sunday, March 10, 2013. Life Updates: 2013 Edition. I want to update you on a number of developments as of late that are exciting in the last few months! I know that of late I've been very busy and haven't been keeping this as up to date as I would like to. Some of you are probably wondering how I can study in France if I'm still living in Maryland. I'm taking classes offered by the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. To register for classes, I registered wit...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance: And I'm back!

http://www.lifelibertyelegance.com/2013/06/and-im-back.html

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance. Sunday, June 30, 2013. So many things have happened lately! I don't even know where to begin! I've spent almost three weeks in France and England a few weeks ago studying for and taking exams at the Sorbonne, made so many new friends, and had a lot of fairly life-changing revelations and good conversations. Due to the stress and the craziness that hasn't yet completely settled down, I have been quite delayed and remiss in my blog writing. I also plan to catch u...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance: January 2013

http://www.lifelibertyelegance.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance. Sunday, January 20, 2013. The Problem with 'Wedding Style'. One trend I've observed is that we have created a special category of clothing for weddings. What exactly is it that makes something a wedding dress, bridesmaid's dress, or attire specifically reserved for the best men? As far as I can tell, these are artificial inventions. This is why I do not have a specifically 'wedding' pinterest board. Why is it that we only dress up for weddings nowadays? Why can...

This post is mostly going to be me sharing pictures, because honestly, that's the next best thing to being in Bath! And then on to day 2:.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance. Friday, August 1, 2014. Major Update: Just got Married! Dear readers, I know I have been way behind with this blog, but it is partly because my life has been particularly interesting and busy this last year! One of the things that has had me most busy recently was getting married at the beginning of July! Lisa and I were married at All Saints Church in Chevy Chase, Maryland. To our satisfaction, the weather was about as good as one can hope for in Maryland!

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance: Consent Culture, Modesty, and Femininity

http://www.lifelibertyelegance.com/2013/01/consent-culture-modesty-and-femininity.html

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Elegance. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Consent Culture, Modesty, and Femininity. Please allow me to return to an issue I have covered before: modesty. While my more conservative circles of friends are still focused on the issue of ensuring female modesty, my more progressive friends are asking why there is no talk about consent, abuse, and respect of women. Furthermore, why are we working so hard to prevent 'lust'? To conclude: consent is the beauty of the practice of mut...
