Building Your Wardrobe with Classic Pieces + Linkup

January 9, 2017

Lately I haven’t felt much like shopping which isn’t like me at all. I am not sure I ever thought that sentence would be typed on this here blog. I think it’s a combination of my changing post-baby body and not getting out of the house much right now. Whatever the reason, I am realizing more than ever the importance of building your wardrobe with classic pieces. I haven’t found myself bored or lacking things to wear even without new…

Everything You Need to Know About Maternity Jeans

January 6, 2017

I had some posts I planned to share after Ivy was born discussing maternity clothing/style. When she came early, everything got a little off. I thought I’d still go ahead and share this one. Let me know if you have anything specific you’d like to know about maternity dressing or anything I can help with. One of the first things not to fit me while pregnant was my jeans. The options: try a belly band, use the rubber band trick, and/or…

Embroidered Skirt and Lace Top

January 4, 2017

You guys I am wearing a skirt! I missed them so much while I was pregnant. You know I am a dresses and skirts kind of girl, so it feels nice to be able to wear them again (in non-stretchy form). This embroidered skirt and lace top made for the perfect combination. I loved the colors and overall vibe. The lace top is so fun, and I look forward to styling it in other ways too. I’ve been really into…

How to Create Curls that Last on a Long Bob

January 2, 2017

I’m not a big enough blogger by far to have regular requests for anything (but please let me know if you do have something!). You know what people do ask me about? My hair. I think I must be doing something wrong seeing as I am a fashion blogger and all. Grin. Here’s the funny thing about my hair: it is my life goal to fix it as little as possible. Oh, and make it look thicker than it really…

Neutral Nursery Reveal

December 30, 2016

I am so excited to share our neutral nursery reveal! Russ and I worked on this space over the span of my whole pregnancy, and it has really become one of our favorite places in the house. Since we didn’t find out the gender of our sweet Ivy Jean, we wanted to keep things neutral. We went with mainly greys, whites, and creams. It was so fun to put it together and dream of our life with baby. I added…

Leather and Faux Fur

December 28, 2016

I already confessed I am totally guilty of over-wearing my leather leggings. Sorry! They are just so comfy and easy! If this outfit looks familiar, it’s because I shared this sweater (seriously the perfect tunic sweater!) with these leggings last week styled a little differently. It’s amazing what swapping up just a few things will do to create a whole different outfit. I wore this leather and faux fur combo to dinner with friends one evening. I love the draping of this…

How to Make an Outfit Your Own with Banana Republic

December 26, 2016

I’m excited to be talking about how to make an outfit your own with Banana Republic today. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Banana Republic a couple times in the past. One of the fun parts about this collaboration is that they send me two items of their choosing. This is unlike most of my other partnerships where I pick the items. It always gives me an opportunity to get outside of my normal and really make an outfit…

Maternity Photos

December 23, 2016

Merry Christmas Eve Eve everyone! I hope your weekend is rich with meaning and full of love and fun as we celebrate the birth of Christ. It’s also Russ’s 30th birthday. We’ll be keeping things low key and enjoying our first Christmas with sweet Ivy. I want to celebrate every part of this journey. This child we weren’t sure we’d ever have, this pregnancy, this man by my side, answered prayers all around. I knew maternity photos would be part…

My Favorite Color Combo

December 21, 2016

Black, white, and tan/camel is without a doubt my favorite color combo. Something about it is simultaneously chic, simple, and interesting. I wore this the other day when I got out of the house to run a couple errands. With the leather leggings and flat boots I was seriously comfy and also edgy and stylish. I have really been over-wearing these leather leggings lately. Sorry! This coat is a favorite from last year because it just instantly makes any outfit…

Casual Outfit Idea + Little Life Update

December 19, 2016

Happy Monday everyone! How are you all? This is an easy casual outfit idea which fits perfectly with life lately. A great pair of distressed jeans, a striped tee, blush cardi (I’m obsessed), and my current favorite booties (on sale!) made me feel put together without trying. A hat hid my extra dirty hair. Just keeping it real here. I thought I’d share a little life update. I haven’t gotten to do that much since we brought sweet Ivy home.…
