Whether it’s for now when you’re indoors and the AC is running or in a few weeks when the temps begin to drop outdoors, this sweater blazer is one I recommend to everyone. Even though I always gravitate to the pastels, I’ll be looking to some of the neutral colors offered (that you can see […]

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
