When I did a quick poll on Instagram, almost 100% of you said you like to see items remixed. I found it really interesting that over 40% of you said you also like exact links as opposed to similar items. I’m doing my best to remix items while the exact pieces are still available. I do this often in real life, but it’s not always as easy to get them blogged in time before they sell out. However, today I…
Casual Holiday Outfit Idea
November 17, 2017I’m back today with another holiday outfit idea, but this time a great, casual holiday outfit idea. I might even wear this on Thanksgiving Day if I don’t wear my swing dress like I threatened on Instagram. Bring on the eating room. 😉 Anyway, I love this. This sweater has the prettiest burgundy stripe and subtle gold detailing with the buttons on the shoulder and gold thread giving it a great holiday touch. It’s from LOFT and was gifted to…
Ivy Jean – One Year
November 16, 2017One. 365 days. One year. I’ve put off writing this post because the truth is I don’t think I can adequately sum up all you mean to us. How wholly you have changed us in such a short time. I hope some day your dad and I figure out a way to tell you just how much of a grip you have on our hearts. Or if we can’t, that somehow you feel it. You were so wanted. You are…
Velvet for the Holidays + Link Up
November 15, 2017I’m back today with another holiday party outfit idea. I’m a sucker for a good skirt and over the knee boot combo, so when I got this velvet top I knew it was meant to be. Velvet is so on trend right now, and I cannot get over how great this top is. It’s another one that apparently everyone else felt the same way because it’s practically sold out on Shopbop. It keeps coming in and out of stock in…

How to Create a Wardrobe that Lasts – My Favorite Basics
November 10, 2017How to create a wardrobe that lasts? There’s no need to buy new things every year when you stock up on my favorite basics. Can I be honest with you all? Sometimes I feel this pressure to always have something new to share. It’s self-induced I am pretty sure, but in the blogging world it seems like to stay relevant you have to have current things to link. I feel like it can be annoying for me to post things…

Moms everywhere can now look cool and it doesn’t matter if spit up ends up on this because you can throw it in the wash just like a t-shirt or regular sweatshirt. Heck yes.

To Tuck or Not to Tuck? + Link Up
November 1, 2017To tuck or not to tuck? That is the question. I am pretty obsessed with this hot pink tunic sweater. It comes in multiple colors, is the perfect length for jeans or leggings (remember I am 5’10”), and has a great mock turtleneck. In a totally uncharacteristic move, I picked the hot pick over one of the more neutral colors. I won’t lie, I am loving it. It goes with regular jeans and my black jeans or leggings equally well. I…
