Over the years, I've learned that my favorite ensembles usually include a combination of classic pieces with a modern twist. A camel sweater is a fall staple & this one is so insanely soft - I think the slightly puffed sleeves & mock neck give it an of-the-moment feel.

I was overwhelmed by the amount of you who wrote and told me your own personal struggles with depression & anxiety. I was amazed to see the number of women who ... View the Post
Chasing Hope
If you had asked me a few years ago, I would have told you that 19 was the hardest year of my life. I had left college, moved back home, was unemployed & single and my eating disorder was at its absolute worst. I never could have imagined a lower point than that year – it was truly rock bottom for me. I felt like I was on a sinking ship & I had lost all hope. But, this last year has rivaled that time & surpassed it in ways that I was not prepared for & that I didn’t see ... View the Post

Floral Wrap Dress
Once I came to the realization that I feel my best & most confident in a great-fitting dress, I made it a personal goal of mine to wear them more frequently. However, I tend to reach for them less often in the fall & winter because I get cold easily and it can be difficult to find options with sleeves that I love. For my shape, the silhouettes that are the most flattering are a wrap dress or a fit & flare so I typically stick with those. I was hopeful when I ordered this one and ... View the Post
4 Ways To Wear: Plaid Shirt
(image source) I received such great feedback after this post that I decided to do a similar format again this week, but this time focusing on a closet basic: the plaid shirt. Obviously, this is a classic that you can wear alone with denim & booties...but it's also ideal for wearing under your favorite knitwear & blazers. I prefer softer fabrics in flannel or a woven textile like rayon or Lyocell - I find that these are easier to layer with & have better drape to them (which makes ... View the Post
Cabby Chic
I bought this hat for my daughter after she begged me incessantly and, once it arrived in the mail, I couldn't resist trying it on. I've seen lots of people wearing cabby hats this season and I love the look of them. I'm not 100% certain that I can pull it off, but it was fun to borrow it for the day to test out the trend. Every once in a while, when I feel myself playing it too safe or getting stuck in a rut with my style, it's good to bust out of my comfort zone and try something new. I've ... View the Post
