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,…

Casual Outfit: Winter Boots
Alright, I’ll let you guys have a chuckle with me today! I was talking about how hot Florida was in December, but lets also talk about how cold (ok, that term might be relative to Floridians only) it was the last couple of weeks! The weather dipped down into the 20s for a couple of nights and I finally got to wear the most random winter clothes I have in my closet last weekend ha! I wanted to share these winter boots from Nordstrom. They are on sale for less than $60, come in 4 colorways, and are really great for wearing with camp socks and leggings/skinny jeans. They are…

Casual Style: Snap Sleeve Thermal
I’ve been all about the thermals lately – they fit my current lifestyle and work with both jeans and pajama pants. Unless they are oversized, I love that they are easy to layer over with a cardigan as well. This new thermal caught my eye and was definitely worth a blog post! The little details make it more than just a thermal for sure! There are 5 different colors to choose from (love the teal and elderberry colors also!). Sizing is somewhat tricky – I sized down per Nordstrom’s recommendation, but could have probably went with my regular size also. Since this top is more stylish than a regular thermal…

Casual Style: Tie-Waist Shorts + NSale
Hi friends! So today is the day for cardholders – access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Did you shop? What did you buy? You can see my initial wish list post here. I ended up trying something different out this year in hopes I would get items faster. I didn’t really want to shop in store. Pre-Covid I wasn’t a fan of crowds, and this year is no different lol. I figured I could order in store for ‘pickup today’ and pop in for curbside pickup. Yeah, that was 7 hours ago and my order is still ‘being prepared.’ I’m guessing if customer service hasn’t pulled items yet, they are…

NSale Preview: My Wish List
Happy Tuesday! Guess what today is?! Okay you probably already know if you follow a multitude of bloggers, but it’s Day 1 of the preview for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! The NSale is by far one of my favorite sales of the year. I’ve been shopping the sale for quite awhile ~ I think I was introduced to it in 2013/2014? Certainly not in its infancy, but I’ve learned to navigate the sale quite well! What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? Essentially, a preview of fall items at a great discount. Will these items pop up again later in the year? Yes, they likely will. But, sizes and coloring options…

Casual Style: $15 dress! + Cute peplum top
Hi everyone! Saying hello to you from our new home! I’ve been pretty run down lately – this is our 3rd home in 6 years since we’ve moved to Florida (and by that I mean 3rd home of our own…. we’ve stayed in 3 ‘temp’ homes as well – so 6 places in 6 years – eek!)… and anyway, it gets harder with each move. Basically because we accumulate more junk treasures! LOL. Thankfully this new house has a very similar floor plan downstairs compared to our last home, so it was easy to find a place for most of our furniture. Wall spacing is a little different, so we…

Casual Style: Linen Skirt
Happy Thursday! I hope you all are doing well! Today I wanted to share another cute outfit idea with the ever popular skirt trend. Similar to my last post, this is a comfy pull on skirt and easy to dress up or down. It’s actually meant to fit closer to knee-length, but doesn’t come in petite sizes, so it fits me more like a midi skirt. I like it just as well! This skirt is a linen blend and perfect for summer. It comes in a couple of striped options and solid colorways. I’ll link all options below. Here I paired the skirt with a relaxed tank. This tank has…

Puff Sleeve Sweater + Fun Sneakers
Well hi guys! Whew! The last week has been a whirlwind! Wondering about the moving saga?…. We are moving! Well, hopefully. Long story short – we found a house in Tampa area, I found a job in Tampa (same employer, just an internal transfer), and we put our Venice house up for sale today! Crazy crazy. I say ‘hopefully’, because this is all pending our house here in Venice sells before the new home is finished. I’m sad, I’m excited, I’m nervous, and not sure even what to think! Our house shopping trip up in Tampa was frustrating. Pre-owned homes fly off the market before you can even see them,…

Casual Style: Puff Sleeve Thermal Top
Just popping in real quick today to share my #ootd! I wore this comfy puff sleeve thermal top – so really just a tee, but love the elevated detail! It’s very stretchy and soft, and I do recommend going down one size. Some reviews stated it stretches out, but I sized down one and did not have this problem. I’m wearing an XS. There are 3 color options available, I’m just in love with this pretty teal color this fall! top | jeans | similar mules | bracelet Guess what tomorrow is?! Fri-yay! Ok, I work all weekend, who am I kidding, ha! But I’ll celebrate for all those that…

Flatlays Styled, Vol. 1
Hi everyone! Today on the blog I wanted to share a few flatlays that I’ve posted over on Instagram, along with try-on photos, so you can see how each item fits! I’ll also go through each item and mention sizing, because I know that can be a huge help! Outfit #1: This puff sleeve top is a great basic layer! It comes in 4 color options. It fits best tucked in to jeans or a skirt. The only negative is that it is slightly sheer. I wore a nude bra with this color and felt comfortable, but any darker color would show through pretty easily. So depending on how modest…
