Jumpsuits and Rompers, Oh My!

Every so often I find myself trying to pull an outfit together based on one piece I want to wear. Be it a top, a necklace, pants or a skirt, I can drive myself crazy when outfits don’t come together as I had hoped. One way to solve that problem? Throw on a jumpsuit or […]

Old Favorites

There are some clothes that I tire of all too quickly, but alternatively there are others that I continue to turn to year after year. I blogged about this sweater here when I had just started out in the blogging world. Two years later and not only do I continue to love it, but it’s […]

Last Chance for the Sale!

LastĀ evening I spent watching Fixer Upper reruns (anyone else obsessed with them?! I can’t wait for season 3!) and browsing the Nordstrom Sale one last time before it ends this weekend. I gathered more of my favorites to share with you below. Let’s call them my Friday Favorites, shall we :) Fall will be coming […]

S’more Bark

S’mores are one of those perfect summer indulgences that never get old. We finally put the fire pit at our new home to use this past weekend and introduced our kids to the sweet treat that I hadn’t had in years. Jack loved roasting the marshmallows and Madelyn was dripping in chocolate within minutes. They […]

Summer Shift

I’ve worn shift dresses on here before and I’m sure this won’t be the last you see of them if you continue to tune in. This one in particular came from Madewell a few months ago. I can always count on them to carry classic shift dresses and I knew it would be perfect post-baby […]

Nordstrom Sale (going on now!)

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has been open to the public (ie the ‘non-cardholders’) for over a week now and there’s still another week left…oh the temptations! For those unfamiliar, they discount a number of their new fall arrivals for a short period before switching back to the full retail price. Now I’m certainly not ready for […]

Updating Old Hardware

I can’t tell you how thankful I am for other bloggers. I turn to them for everything! I turn to fashion blogs to inspire my personal style, food blogs for what to make for dinner, and design blogs for decorating and DIY projects for the home. Until we owned our own home, I spent years […]

Floral Dress

In addition to ruffles and bows, florals are another favorite of mineĀ to wear. I can’t say I own a ton of floral print, but that makes items all the more special when I come across those that I love. This actually came from my girlfriend’s store Elizabeth & West last year just before I was […]

Life Lately

Hi guys! I’m having a hard time believing we are half way through July! I still haven’t even had time to realize summer has arrived! We spent this past weekend in Pittsburg for my brother’s wedding which means that none of our little (or big) projects were able to continue getting tackled around the house. […]

Room (nook) Reveal: Command Center

These past few weeks have been equal parts exhausting and exciting. Moving is So. Much. Work. But now that we are starting to see the ground as the boxes are leaving the house, I’m slowly getting around to the start of decorating. One area that has been driving me crazy was our mudroom/entryway from the […]
