    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…

  • Five Outfits, Vol. 1

    Hi friends! I put together a few outfits below with items I have in my cart, watching for a great sale! I don’t work out of the house any longer, but the holiday-inspired “work” look I would definitely wear to a Christmas party or holiday date night. I also love so many of the new arrivals from Nordstrom’s house brands – both BP and Caslon. My wish list is a mile long, but I’m trying to be so good about waiting for sales lately and not overspending – it’s hard when the new arrivals are really good! Outfit details below. sweater | earrings | jeans | coat | bag |…

  • 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…
