    Wish List, Vol. 19

    Multiple times a week I like to cruise my favorite retailer websites and add new arrivals to my cart. However, they usually sit there in my cart until a good sale hits, before I purchase! These were the items that caught my eye this week! floral mock neck sweater – I haven’t purchased anything from Ann Taylor in quite awhile since I now WFH 100% of the time, but their new release includes quite a few knits like this sweater that would look really classy no matter if paired with jeans or work pants – this blue floral knit is at the top of my wish list! striped ribbed sweater…

  • Outfits Lately, Vol. 2

    Hi everyone! I’ve been posting a lot over on Instagram and thought I’d share a few of my most recent #ootd photos – we’ve had pretty much all the weather here in Florida lately, so it’s a bit of a mix! What I’m reading: Megan Miranda – The Girl from Widow Hills (2020) I actually just finished this book and now I’m onto another Stephen King (Billy Summers – last years novel). I like Megan Miranda – but her books are hit or miss for me. The Girl from Widow Hills was 50/50. It was an easy read, suspenseful, kept you guessing til the end who the ‘killer’ is, but…

  • Avara: New Arrivals

    Happy weekend! I guess I’m overly excited because I finally have a little mini vacation from work this week! Stay-cation actually… and I’m ok with that! My dad and stepmom were going to be visiting in Florida this week, but unfortunately had to cancel their plans. I will miss seeing them (they live in Indiana), but I’m really okay just vegetating for a week lol. My husband had to work one more day before starting his vaca, so I had time to take a few pictures today of a few new arrivals from Avara! Avara is a women’s boutique store located in Dallas and quickly becoming one of my favorite…

  • LOFT Casual Holiday Outfits + Spanx leggings

    Happy Tuesday! Is it Tuesday? I’m not even sure – holidays that fall in the middle of the week (e.g. Thanksgiving on Thursday) always throw me off! I had 5 days off in a row from work which was blissful, but my week is now confused. Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend! If anyone was brave enough to challenge Black Friday this year (I watched the news…. I’m glad I stayed away!), I salute you! Our local outlet mall located about 20 minutes from where I live was on the local news for Black Friday – I guess there was so much traffic no one could get…

  • J.Crew Factory holiday work outfit

    Holiday Work Outfit Idea

    Hi friends! I hope you’ve enjoyed all of the holiday goodness and now onto Black Friday sales! Since I work from home, I don’t indulge near as often as I used to on these great sales, but I still get all the heart eyes for fun work clothes! I don’t miss the workplace, but I miss dressing for it! #oxymoron J.Crew Factory has quite a few great holiday pieces available right now, and I thought I would share a couple of outfits with these fun plaid pants. The entire store is 50-70% off plus and extra $10 off $50! velvet trim top | plaid pants | button detail sweater dangle…

  • Avara: November Favorites

    Hi friends! One of my favorite boutique stores has released some great new arrivals lately, and I thought I would share what has caught my eye! I own the green leopard sweater ~ it’s a little warm for Florida, but not in that itchy, wool way. I’ll just have to save it for the cooler days in the 50s/60s (hopefully that happens)! I love all of the unique details and prints on the other items listed below – so many cute new items! wave graphic sweater | leopard sweater | balloon sleeve sweater graphic blouse | dress | orange/pink sweater | sneakers | mules

  • Outfits Lately, Vol. 1

    Hi friends! I hope you all had a great week! I got a little bug for blogging again this past week after we had a cold front blow through Florida… only to have Mother Nature laugh and say ‘not so fast’ – and here we are back to 80s the next week or so! Ahh, it’s okay. Fall weather is my favorite, but I know my home town in Indiana has had snow already so I guess 80s will do! What I’m reading: Stephen King – Fairy Tale It’s spooky season ya’ll! I love Stephen King’s books and couldn’t resist reading his latest release during the month of October. However,…

  • Amazon dress, Steve Madden booties

    Fall Style: Floral Dress

    Hi friends! Today I wanted to share an adorable Amazon find – this floral mock-neck dress! My exact print is priced around $30 and comes as both this short-sleeve version and also a long sleeve option if you live where it’s colder! There are other prints available also, but with a slightly different style. My dress comes with a removable belt and the other options seem to have a smocked waist. Fit is TTS – I purchased my regular pant size (medium) and do not feel like the top portion is too big. It is a lightweight material, so will need tights underneath in the winter. The long sleeve version…

  • Universal Thread plaid dress

    Fall Style: Plaid Balloon Sleeve Dress

    I found the most adorable plaid dress today at none other than Target! I’m getting all of the Reese Witherspoon vibes from Sweet Home Alabama! Currently on sale for $24 (reg. $30) and 3 colorways available. I don’t love the green floral color option, but the black color is super cute also with a clip dot pattern. This dress is a great Florida friendly fall-transition piece also. Wear now with sneakers or sandals, and booties once it finally cools down. Material is lightweight. Fit is TTS to your top size. It’s flowy on the bottom, so go with your shirt size – I’m wearing a size small (and usually wear…
