There is seriously no better way to unplug than to hit the water. It alters your sense of reality in the best way possible and let's face it, chances of you checking your phone when there is a high probability of it falling into a creek are pretty slim. Brian and I bought kayaks this summer, but due to travel and unfortunate circumstances involving our jeep (which we had to replace), we've hardly been able to use them.

I've been glancing at some of the survey results, and I can't thank you all enough for your input! I realize now that I probably should give you all a little more detail about the skirt length, since I've gotten a few comments about the length and sizing.

A Bicycle Wrap Skirt, of course - a skirt that's dressy enough for the office, but with a few simple adjustments, is ready to hop on a bike and be on the move in minutes. I spent years biking to work in skirts, and years trying to find the perfect skirt that I could wear just about anywhere without a second thought. My husband can tell you that there have been many, many days in which I've made him wait, while I changed clothes, just so we could bike to lunch or dinner or to the park. The perfect skirt, just didn't exist.
