Fall Classic: Updated
Hi friends! How many remember the ever so popular olive green military vest trend 7-8 years ago? Honestly, I probably still have mine somewhere – I know I at least have a military green jacket and also a quilted puffer vest! What goes around comes around, right? Just like skinny jeans, everything circles back! I remember specifically a really popular outfit was wearing a striped tunic tee, leggings or skinnies, leopard flats or booties, and with a military vest. I probably have the outfit stored in my vault of blog photos from a million years ago, but I don’t feel like going down that rabbit hole at the moment lol!…

Fall Edit: Grey and Black
Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share a tried and true color combination I’ve loved for years during the fall and winter months – gray and black (and silver). The outfit I created directly below is using current items available for purchase, but I also wanted to share past years outfit creations with a similar color combination. If you want to add a little color, forest green, burgundy, and cobalt blue pair really well also! I’ll link what I can on the older outfits, but I hope this post gives you mostly inspiration to use what you can in your current closet to create new with the old. 💗 earrings…

LOFT Fall Finds
Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the first day of fall! Not to sound entirely too old (I’ve reached that stage in life), but we finally got some much needed rain today and our forecast is highs in the 70s! I moved away from Florida to be done with the heat and humidity and I’m fairly certain it chased me all the way to the midwest. 🙂 That said – I’m loving the new fall arrivals hitting stores. It’s still a wee early, but October will be here before we know it. I wanted to share some outfit ideas from LOFT below. Right now everything is 50% off…

J.Crew Factory New Arrivals ~ July 2024
Hi everyone! How the heck is it almost August?! I’m seeing pumpkins and fall new arrivals hit stores and it feels somehow earlier and earlier every year… but it’s also my favorite time of year, so I’m kind of here for it? However, I’m not here for our impending cold weather here in the midwest! Just for the cute clothes and home decor. 🙂 J.Crew Factory released their kind of fall transition line up a few days ago and I really like several of their pieces! I would say most of their items are less colorful, more of a neutral palette, but I like that so many pieces can be…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024
One of my favorite sales of the year kicks off this week if you are a cardholder (open to everyone July 15th) and I’m always a big fan! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the sale where you can pick out better quality, fall friendly items at a discount. There are definitely some splurge items always included and of course basics, but I usually stick with my go-to favorite brands. I have NSale items in my closet that are still going strong from 10 years ago! My favorites from the sale are always Nordstrom house brand items (Caslon, Halogen, Treasure & Bond, BP, and Zella) for tops/sweaters, Wit & Wisdom/Kut from…

Caslon New Arrivals ~ Summer 2024
Hi friends! I hope you had a refreshing holiday weekend! We had a long, lazy 3-day weekend eating good food, reading, hiking, watching movies, and spending time with our dogs and horses – I honestly couldn’t ask for more! I haven’t posted clothing items on the blog for a beat, but I feel like I’m finally seeing some cute items hit stores – was it just me or were new arrivals a little lackluster this spring? I feel like I haven’t really shopped in forever, but did finally place a big order from Nordstrom. Have you heard of Nordstrom’s Caslon brand? It’s one of their house brands, generally more affordable,…

Outfits Lately, Vol. 6
Hi friends! I’ve shared a few posts recently over on Instagram and wanted to do a quick round up below on things that have caught my eye! Life has been busy lately and I’ve transitioned into creating outfits based on things I have either already in my closet or on my wish list. Below you’ll see more digital outfit creations versus mirror posts – those are all based on things on my wish list. Creating outfits in this manner really helps me out to see if I can utilize items already in my closet to complete the outfit or if I also want to add accessories or a pair of…

Wish List, Vol. 21
Hi friends! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a wish list on the blog. Honestly, I haven’t been shopping much (or blogging for that matter) lately. I’ve cruised right into the whole “I work from home and sweat pants are life” vibe – especially since it’s cold, it’s dark after 5 pm, and all the winter things surround me this time of year! BUT, I know it’s going to get better. February already looks warmer and better than January and I’m excited to freshen up my “cold spring” wardrobe – you know, since my Florida spring wardrobe = tank tops and shorts, here in Indiana I’m going to embrace…
