What brands do you associate with?
I’m a New Englander, so definitely LL Bean. Their return policy is amazing. They’ll take anything back, forever. I also like Land’s End and Eddie Bauer.
For cars, I’ve driven Hondas for years now. I really love my CRV.
What other brands matter – besides clothes and cars?
Oh yeah. Coffee. As previously mentioned, I’m Boston-centric, so Dunkin not Starbucks.
Two colors most people would never wear together are pink and orange, but somehow it works for Dunkin.

Great style. It never dawned on me that pink and oranges clashed when I look at the logo because it works so well!

I don’t have a certain brand of clothing, just whatever I like at the time. My husband drives a Honda Pilot and loves it. I had my CRV for 15 years before it was getting a bit old. I now drive a white Mazda CX-5 and love it. It was fun to step out of the box. As for coffee, we have a local coffee shop, Peet’s, so that’s the brand we usually buy, but we have bought Starbucks and Equator as well. And I think those colors go well together, but I wouldn’t wear them either. 🙂

Never heard of Equator. I don’t think they’re on the East Coast (yet). We do have a few Peet’s ☕️ thanks for reading my posts Lauren!
