Scarf Savvy

I love wearing scarves. They’re a wonderful accessory to many outfits and a perfect transition as we look towards switching over to the fall season. I have a handful of ways that I wear a scarf, but when I came across this video I was completely captivated. It’s five minutes of your life that you […]

Chocolate Covered Coconut Macaroons

Chocolate and coconut are one of my favorite food pairings. This probably stems from my childhood days of loving Mounds bars, mmmm. Not that I wouldn’t enjoy a Mounds now days, but my slightly more sophisticated pallet can’t get enough of these coconut macaroons. I’ve made them a number of times over the years, and […]

Casually Fancy

Hi all! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, I sure did! We started off Friday evening at the JEG party I co-hosted with Becky at Mommy in Heels. A big thank you to those that came out and joined us, we had a blast! Obviously I came home with a few new goodies for my closet, […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, friends! Had I not known any better, I would swear this week fell in mid-September. I think we may have had a full two weeks that felt like summer, then non-stop rain and now beautiful but slightly crisp weather. I guess we’ll just roll with it! Here’s a glimpse of my week in […]

Dress me?

I love a reason to get all dolled up and weddings are the perfect excuse. We have a wedding coming up in October, so I started browsing Rent the Runway (RTR). I first shared my thoughts and experience with RTR back on this post. The gist of it is that I love using them. They […]

Stylish tots

It may be a sickness of mine, but I love that my kids practically need an entirely new wardrobe with each coming season. It may be wrong on many levels, but I’m ever so slightly envious. I’m sure my husband, however, is not ;) Babies are adorable, soft, squishy and cuddly, but I find that […]

Fit for a Princess

Alright, I suppose she’s a Duchess, but whatever the title, Kate Middleton is one of my fashion icons. She is beautiful and classy and she knows how to style clothes.  I came across this top a while back that Kate just happened to wear for her Royal portrait: I may not have her fashion budget, […]

Party Time!

If you recall, a few weeks ago I was invited to attend a clothing party at JEG Boutique in my hometown of Hollidaysburg, PA. Everyone had a wonderful time, so when my friend Becky at Mommy in Heels asked if I wanted to co-host a party with her I obviously said yes! For those that […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday my friends! This week managed to feel like the longest and shortest week at the same time. My husband and I started off the week with a night out of town and away from the kids for the JT/Jay Z concert in Hershey, PA. When we returned, my husband headed out of town […]

Mixing Prints

I love the idea of mixing prints and patterns. When I see it on others I always envy how effortless they make it look. “Oh, hey I just threw this on and I look perfectly pulled together”, ya know? JCrew is the king (queen?) of this, always pulling it off seamlessly. I think Jenna Lyons, their […]
