It feels like a lifetime ago when I was waking up at 4am to get ready to head into the office for my sales job. Because I lived in Oregon & my territory was the East Coast, I was always the first one at my desk each morning. I actually miss getting the chance to dress up for the office - sometimes I do it anyway even though I now work from home...but it doesn't quite feel the same. I really ... View the Post
From Work to Weekend
It feels like a lifetime ago when I was waking up at 4am to get ready to head into the office for my sales job. Because I lived in Oregon & my territory was the East Coast, I was always the first one at my desk each morning. I actually miss getting the chance to dress up for the office - sometimes I do it anyway even though I now work from home...but it doesn't quite feel the same. I really enjoyed putting together polished & sophisticated outfits when I was working in the corporate ... View the Post

Pre-Fall Colors
Last week, our fall weather completely disappeared and it felt like summer all over again. Of course, I had already packed away all of my warm weather pieces, so this combination was perfect for bridging the gap & ensuring I didn't end up a sweaty mess. My husband & I took advantage of the kids being back & school and went into the city for a little day date - sometimes those end up being more fun than an evening out! This skirt is the best thrift store find I've ever scored - not ... View the Post
Affordable Fall Footwear
One of the easiest ways to make your outfits look more seasonally appropriate is by switching out your footwear. Even if it's still summer weather where you live, try pairing your floral dress with peep-toe booties instead of wedges to give it a more fall-like feel. This is the time of year when I start packing away my cork sandals, woven slides & espadrilles & pulling out my boots & leopard flats. For those of you who are looking for new footwear to add to your closet that ... View the Post
Weekly Top Finds
I've been flying solo most of this week & have spent the majority of my days in the car shuttling the kids to & from school, to football practices and youth group (all with the dog in tow). Needless to say, I am so happy that it's finally Friday & that my husband will finally be back from his business trip tomorrow night! Below, I'm rounding up some of my favorite fall finds - I've noted the codes that you need to get them for less & I've also marked those that will be ... View the Post
Fall Stripes & Florals
Last weekend it cooled off so much that the heat kicked on in our house...and then a few days later, we were back up into the 80's. Needless to say, it's a bit challenging dressing for such drastic shifts in the weather when some days require outerwear and other days it's all about choosing lightweight pieces in autumn hues that still feel seasonally appropriate. So, for those of you who are experiencing the same, today's post includes a little bit of both! I'm excited to be partnering ... View the Post

Fall Beauty
Several of you have written in with beauty questions lately, so rather than include those in my monthly Q&A, I decided to dedicate a post to it today! Many of you've mentioned that you just want something quick & easy but you're not sure where to start...and others of you have said that you have a hard time pairing products together for a complete look. So I've created a guide to 3 different makeup looks that should meet all your needs. I was careful to stick with budget-friendly ... View the Post
