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…

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,…

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…

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…

Avara New Arrivals: Resort Collection
Hi everyone! My favorite boutique Avara just released the most wonderful collection of resort-style wear! I’m not heading to a resort anytime soon, but color me happy – I love it all, especially since I live in Florida! The prints and coloring in every item is absolutely gorgeous! Like make you happy and smile just-because kind of clothing! I honestly had a really hard time picking out my favorites to order. I ended up choosing these floral shorts, flutter sleeve top, smocked sleeve top, and floral dress. I’ll share sizing and fit once I get them in the mail! I love, love the pants below, but was a little worried…

Target Style Finds, Vol. 7
Hi friends! I wanted to share a few new arrivals that I found at my local Target this past weekend. I’m loving the color palette – earthy tones, but with a summer feel. Definitely has a summer transition vibe into fall. Which is crazy to even think about, but with the NSale kicking off next week, we are officially into “fall fashion” territory! And then I shed a small tear knowing I can’t wear any of the fall goodness til November. 😅 Embroidered floral dress: This $30 dress caught my eye right away. It comes in 2 colorways – this rust color and a pretty blue. The print has tiny…

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…

Flatlay Friday, Vol. 8
Happy Friday friends! I hope you all had a wonderful week. And what a week it was! I was so excited to share the great news about my job on my previous post, but also I’m pretty worn out from all of the emotion tied to it! Between my interview, getting hired (happened right after! I was so happy!), giving notice to my current employer, and having a full work week – this girl needs a few naps haha! I rested up today and hoping to put together some outfits for this coming week. It’s crazy to think I don’t even start my new job til mid-september, but I’m so…

Work Style: Lacy Ruffle Sleeve Top + Life update!
Life update: Skip below if you’re only here for the outfit. 🙂 Hi friends! I have quite the announcement today! I’ve given notice to my current employer after accepting a work from home position with an insurance company! If you know me personally, I have worked in retail pharmacy for 16 years. I started from the ground up as a technician, worked into a lead tech role, then intern, and now for the last 6 years I’ve been a retail pharmacist. And honestly… I’m tired. Real tired. You know us retail folk always joke about finding new jobs, we have bad days and say “I can’t do this anymore!”… but…
