Outfits Lately, Vol. 4
Hi friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My big excitement this week was my horses finally arrived in Indiana from Florida! I haven’t seen them since June so I was pretty stoked to give them hugs and help get them settled in their new home. Today I wanted to share a few #ootd photos I’ve posted over on Instagram lately – I’ve finally gotten settled into a good daily routine and have had more time to get ready in the morning versus rush around and throw on whatever clothes I find closest lol! I’ve really been trying to wear my closet lately, so while some items are new,…

Fall style: the accessory edit
Hi everyone! Can you believe it’s actually almost fall? Per the calendar people anyway! We’ve already dipped down into the 40s up in Indiana and those crisp mornings are amazing! I took the dogs for a 3 mile walk this morning and between the cooler temps and leaves starting to fall, it makes me excited for October! Today on the blog I wanted to talk accessories. So here’s the deal. Yes trends come and go, some a great, some are whatever, and some we just can’t even – and that’s absolutely okay! But what about that J.Crew sweater you’ve had in your closet since college? The one that looks almost…

Fall Style: Lady Tweed Cardigan + Cap Toe Flats
Happy September! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! Our (new to us… again) city did not have much going on this weekend, so my husband and I took the time to continue to decorate our new home and finish a few projects around the house. I’ve started running again recently and oy! talk about how being sore! I jogged a little over 2 miles my first outing and could hardly walk the next day – let’s just say I’m going to ease back into this one! I used to run 5k races frequently (I applaud those half/full marathon runners – 5ks for me are fun, if I go…

Striped Mock Sweater – Fall Outfit Inspiration
Hi everyone! I’m starting to get that fall bug a wee bit – it was 48 degrees this morning! We had a cold front come through this past week and out came a few warm clothes, that’s for sure! Alas, starting tomorrow is a week long heatwave, so it’s right back to feeling like I’m back in Florida ha! That being said, I know the temps will start to dip soon up here in Indiana, so I’ve got my eye on a few cute new items. This mock neck striped sweater caught my eye from J.Crew Factory – I love the variation in stripes and it also has that classic…

New life, New state, Blog update + OOTD
Hi friends! Wow, it’s been so long! The last few months have been a whirlwind. This little blog of mine has been a protected, safe space, and one I’ve loved on for many of years. While this blog has always just been a hobby of mine, and not a full time job, (however I do admire those that have hustled and made it in this space – bravo to them and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous 🙂 ), I have never been quite ready to say goodbye. I still love everything about fashion, trends, and simply getting ready for the day. Nothing can replace the feeling…

Stitch Fix Freestyle
Hi friends! Today’s blog post I want to talk about all things Stitch Fix! I’m sure you’ve heard of Stitch Fix for years – the company that sends you a box of clothes, personally styled just for you, keep what you like and return what you don’t, right? I’ve honestly never tried a subscription clothing service, so when the folks at Stitch Fix reached out for a collaboration, I didn’t hesitate to say yes! However, I figured I would be reviewing their subscription box service, but that wasn’t the case. Stitch Fix recently dropped a whole new way to shop called “Freestyle.” And I’m here to tell you – it’s…

Flatlay Style 3.7.23
Hi everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start! I had a nice 3 day weekend off work to spend with family and it’s taken me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things – don’t you love when you need a vacation after a vacation? I purchased these sandals recently in ‘coffee’ – I’ve always wanted a pair of dark chocolate brown sandals and these were exactly what I was looking for! Not to mention they have 5 star reviews! Since then I’ve been on the hunt for tops that have a similar coloring to match the sandals. I came across this…

Flatlay Style 3.1.23
Hi friends! My schedule has been all over the place this week with appointments, errands, and family is coming in town to visit Friday. So needless to say my hair is living in a top knot while sporting whatever gym clothes I can find this week – not very fashionable or bloggable. 🙂 I threw together a few flatlays I thought I could share instead! I love my colors. I love my prints. But sometimes neutrals make you feel good also! I picked up these shorts at Target last week (in 3 colors… they are really good!), and these green pair are great to style with natural colors like beige,…
