    J.Crew Factory New Arrivals

    Hi everyone! You know, just making my random appearance on the blog as of recent ha! I’ve actually quite missed this space. I think I say that every time I take a step away, I know! I honestly really miss blogs of old. The whole Tik Tok, Reels, etc have ruined it for me. I’ve started saving real blogs again on my computer and tend to use the Like.toknow.it app more and more often since I know I’ll be able to look at static photos of my favorite bloggers. Don’t get me wrong… I fall down the Tik Tok rabbit hole a few times per week! …but for fun dancing…

  • J.Crew Factory May 2022 ~ New Arrivals!

    Hi everyone! J.Crew Factory just released their new arrivals for May – and they did not disappoint! Fun fruity prints are popular this spring/summer – I’ve seen lots of pineapples, lemons, and strawberries! I think I love that…. in moderation. 🙂 I created a few outfits below using my favorite items in this release. The midi dress The ‘cottage core’ trend made popular by our Gen Z pop is trying very hard for us millennials. This pretty midi dress definitely gives me the folklore/little house on the prairie vibes… but somehow in a good way! There are 2 coloring options, I just prefer this colorway since I think it will…

  • J.Crew Factory flutter top, J.Crew factory scallop shorts

    Casual Style: Scallop Shorts

    Happy Saturday friends! I want to give a huge thank you to anyone who still reads here. 💗 Now that Florida has gone into full summer mode already, I’ve been thinking about posting new outfits again – I’ve been such a flaky blogger for awhile, but we are more than settled into our new home, my new job, my husband’s new job – so many changes in the last 10 months! I thought I would kick off this spring/summer with a few new items from my tried and true – J.Crew Factory! My top, shorts, and earrings are all new arrivals from their latest release. Due to inflation, I’ve been…

  • J.Crew Factory New Arrivals ~ December 2021

    Hi everyone! Happy Christmas Eve! It’s so nice to find myself back here in this tiny creative space of mine – I honestly took some time off from blogging after Turkey Day. Florida cools down and then heats right back up, making it not so fun to see all the fun holiday scarves, coats, booties, etc. that I can never wear. It makes me miss Indiana this time of year!…. until January 1st that is. Then I want all the sunshine! I would make the perfect “snowbird” as we call them in Florida lol! However, I’ve had some renewed energy this week. Christmas is tomorrow (I’m ready!), I have a…

  • j.crew factory striped sweater

    Casual Style: Holiday Stripes

    How strange is this year guys?! Who knew I’d have Christmas colors new for the season already in my closet?! J.Crew Factory released their Xmas line up last week and of course I’m here for it!…. but, too soon? It’s not even Halloween yet! I suspect things will sell extra fast this year with the expected shortage of items, so I suppose that’s part of the reason for the early release. However it made me giggle because what will the November release look like? Spring break? Lol! I guess TBD! We are expected to have a warmer winter down south, so I suppose if I start wearing spring greens in…

  • j.crew factory twill cotton joggers

    WFH Style: Jogger Pants

    Hi friends! Today starts my new work schedule at home! Meaning… training is over, and I’m a bit terrified, but also excited to take things on myself! I’m hoping to be able to blog a teeny bit more since it’s daylight in the morning now before I go to work and can snap a photo from time to time! I’ve definitely decided I am most proficient and feel my best when I’m dressed for the day. I’m starting this post about 20 minutes before I start work, so not sure this will be published today or tomorrow – but I’m happy to blog when I can. 🙂 I wanted to…

  • J.Crew Factory colorblock sweater

    Casual Style: Colorblock Sweater

    This classic sweater comes in 3 gorgeous colorblock options. Wear it with jeans or sweatpants, either way it’s so cozy and comfy! I have this same sweater in a bright citron/grey from last year and wore it frequently last winter! So it was a no-brainer to add this years version to my closet. Fit is TTS. sweater | jeans | booties | necklace

  • j.crew factory floral top; Steve Madden mules

    Casual Style: Floral Top

    Similar to my post a couple days ago, this is another ‘fall in Florida’ top! I do this every year – I get so so excited about fall/winter that I buy all the new fall sweaters…. and then right about now when I should be able to wear said sweaters (if I was up north)…. I realize that is not happening for at least another month lol! So then I get frustrated and decide I better find some suitable Florida-friendly fall finds! So here we are. 🙂 I actually saw this top in store a month or so ago and loved the coloring, but didn’t pick it up (you know,…

  • j.crew factory turtleneck, j.crew factory gingham wool skirt

    A Classic: The Check Skirt

    The black and white buffalo print is a forever staple in the closet. You will see it pop up on tops, skirts, shoes, hair accessories, etc. year after year. This year seems to be no different as the print is widely popular in stores right now! Since it’s such a loud print itself, I always like to pair with a solid color. And honestly, take your pick on what color you choose! I’m always drawn to this bright blue color as a good match, but will likely pair the skirt with a Christmas red closer to the holidays. If you prefer more of a fall theme, a nice rust or…

  • J.Crew Factory Style Finds, Vol. 4

    Well hi everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted over here on the blog. Honestly, I was struggling with anything ‘blog worthy’ – I have a feeling it has to do with backorders, because a lot of stores are delaying new arrivals or dropping them in very slowly. However, I was able to do a bit of shopping recently and very excited to share with you some pre-fall new arrivals from J.Crew Factory! I always feel a bit silly buying sweater type outfits in Florida, especially since I start my work from home job here in a couple weeks, but I truly couldn’t pass things up — whether…
