Raise your hand if you love ponchos?! I actually have several in my closet because when you can basically wear a blanket out of the house and get away with it, why wouldn’t you want to?! Okay, sorry for all the “!?” I’ll stop now. I just needed you to know how I really felt. Anyway, today we are talking about how to style a poncho with jeans. On Friday’s post, I’ll be styling this same poncho with a dress.…
Happy Friday everyone! Yesterday was our last day at the beach, and although things didn’t go quite as planned, we had a great time. Have you been following along on my Instagram stories? We were supposed to fly back today, but when our flight got cancelled and poor Ivy was still fighting a virus we made the drive back yesterday. With all the devastation from the hurricane, I’m finding myself thankful to have a safe home to return to. This is…
Hi Friends! I am writing this in advance because today (Monday) I will be happily at the beach with my husband’s family. We go every year together, and this year is Ivy Jean’s first time. We are so excited to see her put her little toes in the sand for the first time and experience the roar of the ocean. There’s nothing quite like it. I’ve been thinking about how I do a poor job of sharing much personal on…
You all know I love a good designer item here and there though my wardrobe isn’t made up of them. You also know I love a good deal! Today I thought I’d share a couple great places to shop designer items and also some good places to get them on sale. Great Places to Shop Designer Items Blue & Cream – This is a newer site to me, but they offer a great variety of higher end designer items that are…
I know some people shy away from red because it’s such a bold color, but I would encourage you to give it another chance. It’s all about finding your shade of red. I think it can actually be a very flattering color to wear. It’s eye catching and complimentary when done right. I got to pick an outfit for my Madewell event over the weekend, and although I wanted to pick a cute summery top, I was so drawn to the…
I’m so excited because this Saturday, August 12th I’ll be hosting a Madewell event in Tulsa at Utica Square. If you’ve followed this blog for long, you know I am a huge Madewell fan. I was thrilled to be a part of the store opening last fall. I’ve since fallen in love with their denim (among other things). The skinny jeans you see me wear over an over that I raved about in this post are by Madewell. I recently…
I’ll forever love looks that combine the classics: stripes, good denim, red, white, and blue. I also love high waisted denim and a shorter, more boxy top. I find it to be a flattering, easy to wear silhouette. It also works well for me with Ivy, especially a higher rise with a looser leg. It means it’s easy to sit on the floor making the cut of denim a mom favorite for me. You’ve seen this exact pair (on sale!) on the…
I’ve always been a little afraid of wearing yellow. I just never found it to be the most flattering color, especially as a fake blond with pale skin. Then marigold came along and something in me got a little brave. Maybe it was the cute pom poms on this top (ON SALE!!). Regardless, I am here to tell you why you shouldn’t be scared of marigold. It’s just a happy color. If these photos aren’t proof enough of a pale blonde…
I love statement necklaces, but sometimes, not for lack of love, they end up hanging unworn. I have to remind myself to get them out and wear them because they really add so much to an outfit! Today’s post centers around how to style a silver bib necklace. You’ve seen me style them in the past here and here, and I was recently gifted this awesome one from 7 Charming Sisters. They have been nice enough to pass along a discount code…
Looking for an easy 4th of July outfit idea? I’ve got you covered with today’s look. All you need is a striped red and white tee to pair with your favorite blue jeans/shorts and a red lip. If you don’t have a red and white striped tee, you can snag my favorite one on sale here or here. I loved the cropped fit because it pairs so well with high waisted denim. This is the same pair I wore on…
