Four Ways to Style a Graphic Tee

I think we all can agree that graphic tees are a great staple to have. I love when one really speaks to me in one way or another, as this one did. ‘Country Roads’ was a song I grew up singing at church camp and it always brings back happy memories for me. Fortunately, there […]

Everyday Style: Flutter Sleeve

I’m always a sucker for cute details, as is my mini-me. A simple flutter or ruffle like you see here, is just enough of an accent to accentuate any look. This tee (which is priced at only $15) would look darling with a maxi or denim skirt and also pairs perfectly with a pair of […]

Madewell Summer Sweater + Shorts

I love coming across a really good summer sweater. What I mean by really good is that it has to have a nice, relaxed fit, be warm enough for chilly nights but still light and breezy and come in a light, neutral color that goes with everything while also showing off sunkissed skin ;) Every […]

Instagram Lately

I don’t know about you guys, but we are enjoying every bit of summer. Fall feels so daunting to me, especially for those of us with school-aged children, so I want to soak up these days that are full of less worry and decision making. Being able to be outdoors as much as possible, enjoying […]

Everyday Style + JCrew Perfect Rain Jacket

As much as I’d prefer sunny days all summer long, I know that the rain is what brings life and color to our beautiful surroundings. I have a solid navy rain jacket that I’ve had for probably close to ten years and still love, but when I saw that this fun leopard print was marked […]

Everyday Style: Girly Girl

I love a good girly look. Ruffles, bows, eyelet details…I’m here for it all. For the past few months, my focus has been practical in purchasing what I’m most comfortable wearing around the home. But now that my schedule isn’t completely empty, it’s nice to have a few pretty pieces to turn to. The problem […]
