White About Now

Time to bust out the white denim! For no reason really, other than it’s been a while, and I’ve missed them. The new, improved, fashion rules that you can live by are: there are no rules. So, throw out whatever nonsense you’ve heard about wearing/not-wearing white before/after/during Easter or Labor Day, and wear what ya

Olive + Lilac

So, hi, I’m a mom. Never felt more like one than this morning. A little thing like a fever and bronchitis-from-death never stops us moms from doing our thang (thang translates to 1.8 million daily tasks), right? Totally right. Sooo weird that this never seems to apply to dads….?;) Anyway, I don’t always prance around

Leather + Lace(ups)

So excited to partner with Anthropologie for this second look! Now. Let’s talk some serious go-to’s. First up, this chambray top. You know the drill with chambray – it literally goes with everything – but the lace-up detail keeps it current, on-point, and interesting (especially when you layer it – the laces peeking out are such

Girlfriends + Boyfriends

Happpppy Friiiiiiday!! I had the best time last night with some dear gal pals of mine. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much, or so hard, in years. Good for the soul, I tell ya! So grateful for old friendships re-kindled, and brand-new ones set alight. So. If you’re good on the girlfriend front, but

Lace-up Life Lessons

Lace-up details are here in a major way. Everything from tees, shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, shoes, bags – you name it, it’s laced. Up. The “cool” crowd leaves the laces verrrry open, so when it comes to tops (and really, in general), I’m verrrry uncool. If you wanna hang with the so-not-cool-moms, like me, then

Double (Denim) Date

Doing double denim all o’er agee-in, and agee-in, and agee-in. Wore this on a date with my honey bee, and had theeee best sushi ever, so I’m pretty sure this look has some serious feng shui powers going on, too.;) You can shop this harmonious look, below, and you can also shop some fun, sexy-red sandals

Valentine’s Rosies

Valentine’s Day is only five days away! If your guy needs a strong nudge in the right gift direction, point him here. No guy? These rosy trinkets are here for you (and probably smell a whole lot better;). Shopped the prettiest, loveliest gifts in soft, blushy hues… for really no reason other than I’m loving

Criss Cross Applesauce

So, I’m putting yesterday’s rose-tinted glasses post to the test this am… I woke up with the nasty cold my kiddos have been fighting all week – which isn’t a huge surprise, since they haven’t been much farther than a foot from my face for the last several days. But, still. I was supposed to

La Vie En Rose

The phrase, “life through rose-tinted glasses,” often draws cynical, dismissive snorts from the sarcastic realists of the world, but I just think of that phrase in a different way, I suppose. Life, in general, is a challenge for all of us, and downright harrrrrd at times. Being able to view this challenging – sometimes brutally so –

Little Boy Blue, Hue?

Woot!! Welcome to my brand-new website!! She’s small and simple, but that’s exactly why she suits me perfectly.:) Got a brand-new blazer, in a brand-new blue hue, to celebrate. Good ol’ J.Crew just does a casual-cool blazer that not many others can. So, I shopped some of my JC faves, just for you. Tee: J.Crew | Blazer:
