Summer is here, and I’m not going to lie, I basically live my life for it. Give me all the hot days in the sunshine over snow and freezing cold any day. That probably comes from the many, many hours I lived in a pool growing up. When I was little I was all [...]
One of my favorite trends is gingham. I'm not sure if it's the Southern girl in me or not, but I just find it super classy, and I love all the ways people are mixing it up. I'm seeing gingham skirts with graphic tees, gingham tanks and distressed jeans, and classy gingham high waisted shorts [...]
Last week was spring break and I wish I could say I spent it sipping fancy drinks on the beach, I instead spent it on the floor of my bathroom potty training my 2 year old. I just want to thank all of you who did travel, I did spend my time living vicariously through all of your lives while eating more than my fair share of Easter candy.
getting dressed is hard. there are so many rules and so many things to cover. it's like doing a hard puzzle with ticking time bombs (kids) in the background. if you are anything like me, your typical momiform is jeans, a tee, and in the cooler weather - a cardigan. if i'm feelin fancy, i wear booties. otherwise flats.
The cooler weather is kickin' in here in the midwest. a.k.a, i start off freezing and by the middle of the day I end up sweaty. Hence, why I love layers.
Here is a quick comfy outfit idea: Grab your favorite, best fitting jeans (everyone needs these), a fall colored pocket-tee, tie up the bottom corner. Throw on a neutral (gray or beige) comfy knit sweater. The kind you stick your hands into and sip your coffee. Lastly, add a beaded tassel. Secret: You'll fool everyone that you're more dressy than you are with these beaded tassels. Instant upgrade. Voila! You're set to run errands, chase the little or devour all things pumpkin.
I like to think that I am adventurous in my wardrobe, but to be honest, most of my closet consists of a thousand variations of black & gray. Luckily I love to accessorize (also love making them), so I have found ways to add a few spurts of color to my otherwise simple pallet.
As the weather is beginning to swing towards fall, we love playing with the basic wardrobe pieces to warm them up a little bit. Adding a few earthy tones, like this leather mustard bow clip or blush pink felt bow clip, can transform a simple black or white little number.
