Now that we've been living with my parents for 2 months, I'm starting to see where I got my passion for a good bargain from. There is no one who does a better job of scouring the grocery ads & finding the best deals than my mom - I have saved so much money since we started doing our food shopping together & I'm quickly learning her savvy ways.

Now that we've been living with my parents for 2 months, I'm starting to see where I got my passion for a good bargain from. There is no one who does a better job of scouring the grocery ads & finding the best deals than my mom - I have saved so much money since we started doing our food shopping together & I'm quickly learning her savvy ways. This monthly series is basically the same thing (but with a fashion focus) - I browse my favorite stores & find the best items to share ... View the Post
Weekly Top Finds
This week seemed to fly by for us, probably because we had so much going on. We've been helping my parents do some big outdoor projects on the farm & getting ready for an upcoming family camping trip (our first of the summer!). I can't say enough how much we are enjoying living in Oregon - between the beautiful non-humid weather, being closer to family & reconnecting with old friends, it really feels like a dream come true. There are some great online sales happening this weekend ... View the Post
Striped Crochet
I love finding pieces that feel one-of-a-kind and Mango has long been one of my favorite stores for unique items that you won't see anywhere else. The colorful stripes & flutter sleeves of this crochet top caught my eye because it's so different than anything in my closet. It's perfect for pairing with cropped denim & shorts this time of year and I plan on wearing it into the early fall paired with a suede skirt & booties. If you've never ordered from them before, I'd recommend ... View the Post
Summer Activewear
For some reason, this summer is the most consistent I've been with my workouts in a long time. My family has been going through some difficult trials lately and I'm finding that I really notice a difference on the days when I'm unable to exercise. Running, in particular, has been such a stress release for me & has helped tremendously with my mental health since we moved. Though I do miss taking classes at the gym, I definitely appreciate not having to pay a monthly membership! I don't ... View the Post
Now & Later Style
August is always the month when I stop buying summer clothes & start looking forward to the new season. Obviously, it's way too hot to wear sweaters & bulky layers right now, so I try to seek out pieces that will be versatile enough to be able to style through multiple seasons. I thought I'd share a few examples of this today, focusing on 3 key pieces, and showing you how to wear them both now & later. Let me know if you'd like to see more posts like this as we get closer to ... View the Post

Hard to believe that today is the last day of July! I don't know about you, but I am so ready for a new month to begin and I'm hopeful that it will bring us closer to a more "normal life". This past week was a rough one for us, so I'm looking forward to turning over a new leaf with the beginning of August. Below I've rounded up the best online sales happening this weekend + some of my top picks from each retailer. I just saw that Old Navy launched a 30% off sale this morning and, if you're ...

Summer Family Style
This has been such a different summer for us this year - from our cross-country move to quarantining for 2 weeks with my brother's family to (finally) moving in with my parents...it's felt like one change after another. I couldn't be more proud of my kids for the way they've handled it all & embraced every transition with courage & optimism. As of right now, the schools where they are enrolled for the fall plan to have in-person classes 5 days a week and, after being separated from ... View the Post
Summer Outfit Ideas From the Nordstrom Sale
Ever since Nordstrom launched their Anniversary Sale preview (here), it's been receiving a lot of buzz from influencers & consumers alike. And while I do plan to cover the sale in August (once everyone has access to shop), I actually think some of their current markdowns are just as good & worth taking a look at. Below I've rounded up some of my top affordable picks + 4 chic summer outfit ideas that you can wear now! TOP LEFT: Rib Henley // Cork Clutch // Floral Midi // Gold Hoops ... View the Post

It's that time of month again for everyone's favorite post! I searched through the best online deals I could find & created 12 different summer looks using pieces that are all just $35 or less.

ONE: Off The Shoulder Midi Dress // Raffia Clutch // Woven Slide Sandals TWO: Pleated Top // ... View the Post
