    Avara Spring New Arrivals!

    Hi friends! My favorite boutique has released a lot of pretty new arrivals for spring and I wanted to share what caught my eye! We are heading south for a vacation soon and I need to order a few pieces to wear on the trip. Avara sent me this pretty ruffle sleeve sweater top to share on my blog and it’s super cute and perfect for spring! Shared below is the sweater and all items at the top of my vacation wish list: Use code PEARLS15 to save 15% off your order! Astrid sweater: *sizing: fit is TTS.

    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…

    Happy New Year! Spring Outfit Inspiration

    Happy Happy 2024! I know everyones past year has been different, but 2023 was a period of lows and highs for myself and I’d prefer to keep the lows in the past. 🙂 Are you one for New Years resolutions? I’ve never been great at them, but for me personally I really want to try to spend money ‘more wisely’ in relation to my closet. I really would love to start traveling again this year and recently I had to take a good look at my closet, clean some out for Poshmark, and find gaps in my closet that could actually be helpful. If you’re reading this post it’s because…

    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,…

  • Outfits Lately, Vol. 3

    Hi everyone! Today on the blog I wanted to share a few outfits I’ve shared over on the gram in recent weeks! Our weather down in Florida has been anywhere from 40 to 85 degrees (no joke!) the last couple of weeks (and sometimes all in one day!) so my outfits are all over the place. So happy to be wearing spring colors and fun prints! striped pullover | similar tee | similar necklace mixed media sweatshirt | jeans | sneakers | similar necklace striped blazer | tee | necklace | bag | jeans | sneakers sweater | jeans | booties (old) – similar | earrings ruffled sweater (code: PEARLS15)…

    OOTD 2.16.23

    Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well! Who here is a sweater tank fan? I personally love them because they are easy to layer under a denim jacket and also thicker than a regular tank so perfect when there is a tiny chill in the air or in the summer when the air conditioning is going strong (we are headed there in Florida I think!). Old Navy released their version of a new sweater tank a few weeks ago and I ordered both this striped version and a cobalt blue solid color. I was leery of the quality, but was pleasantly surprised! The material is a really nice…

  • OOTD 2.15.23

    Hi friends! I have a big roundup coming for “outfits lately” I’ve worn over the last few weeks, but in the meantime I’ve been wanting to get back to just simple blogging. I used to post an outfit once a day (when things were simpler… pre-Tiktok and IG Reels haha).. and I recently came across a new (to me) blog that posted similar OOTD (outfit of the day) posts and I really loved the simplicity of it! And that is truly the heart of my blog anyway. I work 40 hours a week. I wear regular outfits. And truly want to just help the everyday woman get dressed in the…

    Avara: Resort Collection picks

    Hi friends! Last week I shared Avara’s release of their resort collection and today wanted to share with you my top picks! I love so many items from this release (see original blog post here), but alas had to narrow it down to my top faves. You all know I love color, love fun prints, and these items have both! My husband and I are hopefully planning a couple of vacations this year to Key West and also down to Naples to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary (we had a destination wedding at a resort in Naples when we still lived in the midwest), so these items will be…
