So, the overall trend was something I was a liiiiittle reluctant to try about a year-and-a-half ago. I tried them, but didn’t think it was for me – because I didn’t buy a great-fitting pair that first time. That all changed this past spring, when I discovered the ones I’m wearing below by Madewell. Now
Closet Staple: The Striped Sweater
Brrrrr. It is so not shorts weather, here right now. We’ve been putting our fireplace to good use the past several mornings and evenings! It is, however, sweater and scarf weather, and below, I have have shopped a variety of a Closet Must: The Striped Sweater. It never, ever goes out of style…. And it’s
Preppy + a Pop o' Pink
Happy September!! ‘Tis the month of roller-coaster weather by day here, but always, always chilly in the evenings (I actually love that). So, I’m a prepster at heart, and am never not on the lookout for a good blazer update. Enter: Banana Republic’s Textured Knit Boyfriend Blazer, stage right. I love it in navy! The fit is
Go West, Young Lassa
Oooooookay. So, I just got a new pair of jeans from good ol’ J.Crew, and I am in love. High waist, buttons, patch pockets, cropped, black wash…. I dig it all. I didn’t intentionally set out to go all westerny with this look, but I kinda love that it happened! I’m embracing my inner Oregonian
Black Rose
“Black Rose” is the color name of the Banana Republic gauchos/culottes I’m wearing, and I’m kind of smitten with them.

I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of August! How did that happen?? Fall is right around the corner, butttt. It’s still summer, guys. Still time to get some more wear out of those shorts, and go for those lazy ice cream strolls with the fam. Planning to make the most of it! Popover: J.Crew | Short Trench:
Mari Lassa
I had the recent pleasure of discovering handbag designer, Anne Scott of Mari Lassa, on Instagram, and was blown away by her work! I also loved the fact that she’s based in Bend, Oregon (all the cool peeps live in Bend ;). When she reached out for a collab, it was a no-brainer! The inspiration behind Anne’s brand
Her Flair, My Flare
In case you didn’t know, there was a spectacular night-sky show going on last night! We woke our eldest two, and I also grabbed my sister, to go watch the meteor shower that’s been happening the last few nights – last night was supposed to be the best viewing night, because there was no moon. It.
