• Old Navy striped sweater tank

    OOTD 2.16.23

    Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well! Who here is a sweater tank fan? I personally love them because they are easy to layer under a denim jacket and also thicker than a regular tank so perfect when there is a tiny chill in the air or in the summer when the air conditioning is going strong (we are headed there in Florida I think!). Old Navy released their version of a new sweater tank a few weeks ago and I ordered both this striped version and a cobalt blue solid color. I was leery of the quality, but was pleasantly surprised! The material is a really nice…

  • OOTD 2.15.23

    Hi friends! I have a big roundup coming for “outfits lately” I’ve worn over the last few weeks, but in the meantime I’ve been wanting to get back to just simple blogging. I used to post an outfit once a day (when things were simpler… pre-Tiktok and IG Reels haha).. and I recently came across a new (to me) blog that posted similar OOTD (outfit of the day) posts and I really loved the simplicity of it! And that is truly the heart of my blog anyway. I work 40 hours a week. I wear regular outfits. And truly want to just help the everyday woman get dressed in the…

    Avara: Resort Collection picks

    Hi friends! Last week I shared Avara’s release of their resort collection and today wanted to share with you my top picks! I love so many items from this release (see original blog post here), but alas had to narrow it down to my top faves. You all know I love color, love fun prints, and these items have both! My husband and I are hopefully planning a couple of vacations this year to Key West and also down to Naples to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary (we had a destination wedding at a resort in Naples when we still lived in the midwest), so these items will be…

  • Opalhouse home decor

    Opalhouse New Arrivals!

    I’m so excited Target finally released a new collection of Opalhouse today! This brand is one of my favorite brands for home decor. I love the funky, eclectic feel. I was a modern farmhouse kinda home decor girl for awhile. With our new house, we have an extra bonus area upstairs so I’ve been able to freely play with new home decor and I love the space. The decor doesn’t just blend in, it makes me feel happy, and I love that! I’ve been wanting to slowly update each room in the house now! The next room to tackle is my home office. Instead of the modern farmhouse look, it…

  • Wish List, New Arrivals

    Wish List, Vol. 20

    Multiple times a week I like to cruise my favorite retailer websites and add new arrivals to my cart. These were the items that caught my eye this week! I actually already splurged on the puff sleep top and light wash jeans – I think they will look so perfect for spring! The sandals are now top of my wish list. The lighter raffia pair come in a lovely dark coffee color which is a hue I don’t own – and a hole in my closet – I realized how many tops/shorts I own would pair really well with that color. And the striped shirt and olive skirt are also…

    Avara New Arrivals: Resort Collection

    Hi everyone! My favorite boutique Avara just released the most wonderful collection of resort-style wear! I’m not heading to a resort anytime soon, but color me happy – I love it all, especially since I live in Florida! The prints and coloring in every item is absolutely gorgeous! Like make you happy and smile just-because kind of clothing! I honestly had a really hard time picking out my favorites to order. I ended up choosing these floral shorts, flutter sleeve top, smocked sleeve top, and floral dress. I’ll share sizing and fit once I get them in the mail! I love, love the pants below, but was a little worried…

  • LOFT new arrivals

    LOFT: Spring New Arrivals

    Hi friends! I’m loving the latest new release from LOFT! I’m so happy to see fresh florals and spring greens. It’s so funny how with the change of seasons we are excited to see the new colorways. I get so excited about fall new arrivals in August/September, and by January I’m quite over them lol! And the cycle continues. Right now I’m here for all the pretty spring colors. 🙂 Below are a few of my favorites! I placed 2 small orders over the last week, so I’ll share the keepers once I receive them in the mail! Below are my top picks from this release. striped sweater | green…

  • Style under $30

    Style Under $30, Vol. 13

    Happy Saturday! I haven’t posted on styles under $30 for awhile since prices have been so inflated, I wasn’t sure what kinds of items I could find – but I was pleasantly surprised! All items below are either priced regularly or on sale for $30 or under. The flats are a new Amazon arrival and if I still worked out of the house, I would definitely give them a try! They come in several coloring options. ruffled sweater | flats | gingham pants roll neck sweater | bracelet #1 | bracelet #2 Have a great weekend!

  • Avara Love at First Sight Collection

    Avara: Love at First Sight Collection

    Hi friends! My favorite boutique, Avara, released a wonderful mix of pinks and reds for Valentines Day! I’m in love with the entire collection – so many gorgeous items that are perfect for the season, but also classy and fun! I picked out my favorites in a collection below, and I also wanted to share my #1 pick – the Maddie sweater. Yes, this sweater is cute and a lot of fun! I couldn’t resist the puff sleeves and pom-pom hearts. And if pink is absolutely not your thing – the sweater also comes in a pretty spring yellow! The knit is very soft, has a little stretch, and fits…

    J. Crew New Arrivals ~ January 2023

    Hi friends! J. Crew released new arrivals today (finally – it’s been a minute!) and I created a few outfits below using my favorite items from the release. *Disclaimer: the ballet flats used are from Target – I honestly didn’t love J. Crew’s flat options – Target’s are better (and more affordable!). sweater | sunglasses | tote | sneakers | jeans flare jeans | sweater | top | earrings | sandals ruffled shirt | sweater | necklace | ballets flats | earrings | jeans
