After being stuck inside all week due to smoke & hazardous air quality, waking up to rain this morning was the best feeling ever! It's supposed to continue to rain throughout the weekend, so we're really hopeful that the fires will get more contained & we'll actually be able to go outside again next week - we're all getting a little cabin fever at this point!

A Modern Take on Classic Plaid for Fall
I grew up wearing plaid year-round because I had a mom who loved to dress us in it. There were a few years in college when I swore it off (my rebellious phase - ha!), but I seem to always come back to it around this time of year. I know it can usually feel a little preppy/traditional, but if you choose the right pieces & style them in a modern way, they can feel totally fresh. I love this smocked top because it's lightweight enough to wear now, but the plaid pattern gives it a ... View the Post
The Best Affordable Handbags For Fall
It's finally time to pack away all those straw totes & opt for something in darker hues & richer textures. I've personally never spent more than $100 on a handbag, mainly because I've always been able to find what I want for less. When searching for a luxe-looking bag, I pay close attention to the feel of the material, the hardware & the strap/handle. If it passes my test in those three areas, then it gets my seal of approval. Below I've rounded up the best of the best fall bags ... View the Post
My Monthly Edit
MISSING I have absolutely no regrets about moving in with my parents to help caretake for my dad, but there are things I really miss about living in my own home. Seeing all the fall decorations that are hitting stores right now makes me sad that I won't get to decorate for the season. I know it seems trivial, but it was one of my favorite things to do & it brought me so much joy. So, instead, I thought I'd share some of my favorite decor finds here so I can live vicariously through those ... View the Post

It's been a crazy week here in Oregon! We started off on Sunday with an extreme wind storm and then the fires began to spread. The air quality is now so bad that they're asking people to not leave their homes - we're currently on standby for evacuation, so we're hoping that they can get the fires contained this weekend so we don't have to pack up & leave. It's a scary time for so many on the West Coast - please keep us in your prayers! Since we'll be stuck indoors all weekend, I'm ... View the Post
Cardigan Collector
This is my first outfit post of September, so it felt fitting to feature cozy knitwear & denim in a pairing that you can actually wear in our current temperatures. I bought this cardigan earlier in the spring and just noticed that it's on major clearance - only $8! Part of me hates knowing that I paid more for it, but it's my loss & your gain that I'm sharing it now so you can get it for less. I love the intricate open knit and cropped shape - I've mostly worn it buttoned up like a ... View the Post

Steals Under $35
August is always an interesting month because most of us start to grow a little tired of summer fashion & we start longing for more substantial pieces & craving deeper hues. But, the weather outside is still considerably warm, so it's a tricky time to navigate that strange in-between. For this month's edition, I did my best to include some transitional pieces - even if you're not wearing fall clothing yet, I know most of you are shopping for the new season already, so I hope this ...
