Versatile Dress

Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend. I came down with the dreaded change of season cold/ sore throat yesterday and am hoping it decides to pass quickly! Here’s an outfit I pulled together for a cookout at my parents house. Remember that vest I found at Target? Well this dress got thrown […]

Quick Trip

This week has been a bit of a whirlwind. With school events, sporting events, our anniversary and a quick trip to NYC, Friday arrived in no time! Jack had a meeting in the city that happened to fall on our anniversary so as I often do, I tagged along and brought Audrey for her first […]

Fireplace Revamp

Today I wanted to share with you one of our recent projects around the house in case any of you have something similar. Our home was built in the 90’s and the fireplace won’t let you forget that! We have plans to retile it as well (as you can see some samples I was looking […]

Lacy

Weather seems to be all over the place these days. Last week we were nearing the 90’s and this weekend that temperature dropped by somewhere around 20 degrees! We’ll be back into the 80’s as the week goes on, but it was a nice taste of ‘sweater weather’. I was happy to give this new […]

Shades of Fall

Yesterday was a chilly, rainy day here in central Pennsylvania which really had things feeling like fall. That combined with my Instagram feed being 75% full of NYFW eye candy lured me into a little online browsing. As big of a fan I am of pastels, I’m finding myself eager for some rich, deep hues […]

The Vest

I’ve been tempted by this style of vest for a while now but always felt a little intimidated by it. I don’t know why. I love vests, I love blazers and this is pretty much the perfect combo. When I passed it on the rack at Target (yes, Target) I threw it in my cart […]

Life Lately

It’s that crazy time of year where the kids start back to school, I start to get excited for fall and the temperatures decide to hang out in the high 80’s! Oh, and then the pool closes, ha! Oh well, as one who lives in central PA I know for sure I will be sick […]

Booties

Over the past few years booties have become quite the staple in my closet. Most days I’d rather pull on a bootie than anything with a high shaft for the shear ease of it. Plus the variety of styles that are now available leaves me always wanting another pair! Leather, suede, high heel, low heel, […]

Rotating

We’re reaching the end of summer and I recently realized there are a number of items I didn’t wear nearly as much as I had hoped to. I blame the baby for my uniform of t-shirts and denim shorts that consumed my summer, but I can still look put together every now and then! I first […]
