Sneakers are a go-to shoe, and with upcoming travel on my calendar, I wanted to make sure that I had a great pair of sneakers to go with a handful of outfits. I tend to lean towards more plain and white versions of sneakers, even though my...

So, March was a slower reading month but I still finished a few books that I thoroughly enjoyed! The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah // I started this novel a few years ago. I had to set it aside because it was just so hard to read....

There are times when I appreciate some kind of shapewear under thinner dresses, or dresses that area bit more fitted. And there are other times when I just want a layer underneath a dress for comfort! I’ve tried some that are great and...

We do a heavy amount of water activities in the summer, so I need a swimsuit that I feel great in and also can last through lake water, being washed, and plenty of chlorine. I have a handful of the swimsuits pictured above and can personally...

In a world of blow-dry brushes, air wraps, hot brushes, and more, the simple blow dryer has been neglected. And listen, if you love a blow-dry tool that is completely fine! But sometimes there is a need for a standard blow dryer and today I’m...

I only read 4 books in February, which makes me wonder how on earth I managed to get through *8* in January. Find my recaps below! Girl Underwater by Claire Kells // I chose this book from a list of novels that Julia Whelan has...

When it came to updating our primary bedroom decor, I really was just looking to modernize it a bit. The furniture we had in that room was from many, many years ago and the decor/accent pieces felt tired. We kept much of the big pieces of...

It’s hard to believe that this summer will be 5 years that we’ve been in this house! I still could just pinch myself that we get to live here. From the wrap-around porch to the kitchen to the media room upstairs for the kids, it’s a...

I’m not much of a cardigan gal, so I get a ton of use out of a light layering jacket. Whether it be a final piece when styling an look in the winter, or it’s the lightest outer later for the spring, a structured jacket is truly my...

One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six (similar), Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen. As someone who wears black very, very, very often in the wintertime, I start to crave a...

I’m here for the wide-leg flare, and apparently, you are too! These wide legs from J.Crew were one of the most popular items purchased from my recommendations last year! While it’s still actually winter, I’m finding much joy in...

There’s a lot out there, in the skincare department, and I completely understand being very overwhelmed. There are not only so many product lines but so many ingredients and chemicals and injectables and treatments that it’s not really...

My book goal to read and listen to this year is 25 books. I’ve already completed 8 in January so I am WELL on my way! This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger // I listened to this on audible. It was easy for me to get swept up in...

I recently helped my friend accessorize for her son’s wedding. She picked a gorgeous one-shoulder dress and I helped her choose shoes, a bag, and jewelry. It was *so* fun. If you have a formal event to attend soon, I found a few gorgeous...

The older I’m getting, the more comfortable I feel in my personal style. I know what I like, I know what I don’t like, and I’m getting better at knowing what I *think* I will like but end up only wearing one time. There are a...

Listen, I like all of the personality tests and enneagram and all that, but sometimes I do think it’s easy to get too deeply caught up in what those tests say about you without looking at how you are actually feeling about...

I don’t think I’ve ever worn a fragrance that has garnered so many compliments. For years I wore Gucci Gorgeous Gardenia. And periodically I would change it up and introduce a new fragrance, but I wasn’t as loyal to anything...
