A Little Extra
I've mentioned before about my early childhood days and how skipping a grade in elementary school meant that I was the youngest in my class. This proved to be very difficult for me socially because I wasn't quite ready to grow up as quickly as my peers. When I was planning my 5th grade birthday party with my mom, I really wanted to do a "dress up" theme - I'm not talking about girls wearing their Easter best; I'm talking about legit vintage/thrifted gowns, hats & accessories. We booked a ... View the Post
Bundled Up Layers
Gone are the crisp fall days where you could get away without wearing a coat! December is finally here and warm layers are an absolute necessity for surviving the winter chill. But, being bundled up doesn't mean you have to look frumpy - when you choose the right pieces & layer in a strategic way, you can still look chic and stay toasty all day long! Now is a great time to shop for winter styles because lots of items start to get marked down in anticipation of the holidays. Lord & ... View the Post
Weekly Top Finds
The pre-holiday sales are going strong and, right now, there are more than ever! Today I'm highlighting the best of the best + sharing some affordable picks that I'm loving. I mentioned this on my Instagram Stories the other day, but it's worth stating again here: I will continue to be sharing deals throughout the holiday season. But, if you can't afford it right now or if something doesn't fit in your budget, please DO NOT feel pressure to shop. It makes me very uncomfortable to think ... View the Post
Soft Winter Neutrals
Even though we haven't yet reached the official start of winter, many of us are already experiencing significant snowfall & freezing temperatures. This is the time of year when it can get a bit gloomy - even though the snow is beautiful, it's cloudy almost every day and it gets dark so early now. I don't know about you, but I tend to dress based on how I feel...which means I end up wearing black more often than not. So, in an effort to help myself avoid this inevitable rut, I'm embracing ...

Affordable Gifts For Him
So many of you wrote in and said that you have the hardest time buying for your dad, brother or significant other this time of year...and I completely agree! Men are so much harder to buy for than women (in my opinion), so today I'm sharing some ideas with you & hopefully these suggestions will help. As with the women's gift guide (here), I stuck with affordable gifts for those who have tight budgets. And because my husband actually helped me create this list, you know it has a man's seal ...

Layered Winter Outfits
I can't believe it's already December! I know I say it every year, but the closer we get to Christmas, the more I wish I could just slow down time. We finally got our tree on Saturday and spent the whole afternoon decorating it together as a family (one of my favorite things!). While we were tromping around the tree farm, I realized that winter is really here - we were only there for less than an hour and even with my chunky knit sweater, puffy coat & hat, I was freezing! For those of you ... View the Post
Day To Night Holiday Style
We had a sudden warm up in our temperatures last weekend, which almost completely melted all of the snow we'd gotten a few weeks ago. So, I took full advantage & got some outfit photos without coats! Today I'm excited to be partnering again with Nordstrom to share two new looks with you for both weekend & evening. As most of you know, I love shopping their site because shipping & returns are always free - this is a game-changer for me since we don't have a store nearby us. Though ... View the Post
