PLANNING Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, so I've started planning for ways to make it special, even though we can't go out for a nice dinner this year. It's one of those holidays that I love to go all out for - I usually do a festive breakfast for the kids and then for dinner, I make a heart-shaped meatloaf with pink mashed potatoes and red velvet cake for dessert. If you're not sure ... View the Post

PLANNING Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, so I've started planning for ways to make it special, even though we can't go out for a nice dinner this year. It's one of those holidays that I love to go all out for - I usually do a festive breakfast for the kids and then for dinner, I make a heart-shaped meatloaf with pink mashed potatoes and red velvet cake for dessert. If you're not sure how to celebrate this year, some other fun ideas would be a fancy brunch with quiche, mimosas & ... View the Post
Current Beauty Favorites
I always feel like the beginning of the year is the perfect time to establish new routines. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit and one of my big goals for 2021 is to do a better job of caring for my body as a whole. This means a lot of small changes that I hope will add up to equal my healthiest year yet! What this looks like for me is: making daily movement a priority (not just when it's convenient, but actually penciling it into my schedule each day) listening to my body when ... View the Post
Steals Under $35
When I posted last week's Deals Under $25 (here), I had a few of you request that I incorporate more color into future outfit collages. I'll admit that I tend to gravitate more towards neutrals because they are so easy to mix & match and incorporate with other wardrobe staples. But, I acknowledge that those muted tones don't always appeal to everyone, so I'm committed to showcasing more color this year...starting today! This round-up features ensembles that you can wear for work, weekend ... View the Post
Weekly Top Finds
Well, we officially made it through the first week of 2021 and I think it's safe to say that it wasn't all we had thought it would be. Despite everything that happened over the past few days, I'm doing my best to focus on the good rather than the bad & choose hope over fear. Obviously, that's easier said than done...but what that looks like for me is disconnecting from social media more often, turning off the news & going for a walk and spending quality time with my family. And ... View the Post
Embracing Winter Whites
I think I will forever be a fan of monochrome dressing because it gives such a sophisticated, polished feel to whatever you're wearing. I know some people pack away their white jeans for winter, but I particularly love embracing all shades of ecru, eggshell, cream & bone in the cold weather months. I have gotten so much use out of these ivory colored jeans - I know you're probably getting tired of seeing them at this point! I love having a style like this that I can wear year-round and ...

Deals Under $25
The post-holiday sales are always hard to resist because just about everything is marked down. I don't know about you, but after being stuck at home in mostly comfy clothes for so long, I'm more than ready to start dressing up again (even if we can't go out anywhere fun just yet)! Below I've put together 9 outfits featuring pieces that are all just $25 or less - perfect if you're working remotely, running errands or having an at-home date night! I'd love to hear which look is your ... View the Post
Neutral Knitwear
One of my personal goals for 2021 is to shop at small businesses more often - if there's anything that the last year has taught us, it's that smaller stores need our support now more than ever. So, I'm excited to introduce you today to a new-to-me online shop called Petal + Pup that has a boutique feel & offers a well-curated selection of on-trend styles that I think you will love! I chose my favorite neutral sweaters from their site & created 3 different outfits with them below. ... View the Post
Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale
Nordstrom just launched their Half-Yearly Sale, which runs now through January 3rd, and I can't remember a time when I've seen their prices this low! As you know, the best pieces always sell out quickly, so I worked hard to sort through and find what I believe are the most versatile styles that are fully stocked in all sizes, ranging from $15-$60. As always, shipping & returns are free so it's risk-free shopping at its finest! If you didn't get exactly what you wanted for the holidays ... View the Post
Winter Warm-Up
While my friends back in New York prepare for what could be the biggest snowstorm in years, Oregon is having such mild temperatures that don't feel like "winter" at all. I have to admit it's been a welcome adjustment to have warmer weather that doesn't even require a coat in mid-December. But, for those of you who have been following for a while & are used to my layered looks this time of year, I'm sorry to say there may be less of them! Even if we won't be having a white Christmas here ... View the Post
