Holiday parties are right around the corner! Feeling festive, I threw on an atypical, casual, holiday outfit, for me. Meaning, there is no red-and-green, or shimmery metallics, or swingy, tulle-y skirts, but the fringe and fur says, “party” – to me, anyway! I also like the 20s-retro feel of this look, too – just to
Hungry Cow
I hope you had a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving, yesterday – we sure did! So many littles, so much happy, delicious noise, and food! I ate ev-er-y-thing four times. I still feel stuffed! But ya know who wasn’t? This cow. We shot this before the nordic blast hit us (if you follow me on Instagram, you
Borrowing from the Boys
It’s supposed to snow today!! That’s all I can think about. Doesn’t matter how long I live here in the very snowy northwest, the Georgia girl in me will always be excited for snow. Always. You know what else gets me excited? Borrowing from the boys, and playin’ with menswear – just like good ol’
Tweedy Bird
Nuthin’ like a little tweed and a cardi to make ya feel a “li’l Bri’ish.” I’m a nerd for good ol’ preppy-classics, like a great, tweed blazer….. With leather elbow patches?! Even better. Layered with a warm, soft cardi, and I’m in classic, lady-nerd heaven. (I added some boyfriend jeans to offset the properness just
Sealed with a Magenta Kiss
All about the layers right now, and they are getting thicker by the minute – it is down right freezing, here! It was cool and balmy when we shot this, but I would freeze if I wore this outfit this week. Brrrr! One of my favorite layering pieces this season has been the sleeveless sweater/vest.
Loafin' Around
While “Loafin’ Around” is no where near an apt description of how I live my life these days (hoping it could sometimes apply when my kids are in college, though), it’s a cute title for this post, ’cause we’re talkin’ loafers, today. I told you I’d have more for you on this shoe subject in my
Stripes + Plaid + Sherpa, Oh My!
Today’s post is pretty much about all things I’m a style-sucker for: Stripes (duh). Plaid (flannel, even better). POCKETS. Soft Sherpa. What else do ya even need to know, today? (Besides the fact that I shopped a bunch of flannel frocks, below, and that this sherpa-lined, denim jacket is on sale, aaaand that you can get
Oxford Student
Gooooood morning! How about some cheery, orangey-red to brighten up those wonderfully gloomy, cozy, fall days? I’m loving this hue, and went all collegiate-prepster with it. (Don’t even get me started on that oxford shirt with pockets!!) I’m wearing head-to-toe Banana Republic – purely because I just bought these pieces, and I wanted to wear
Back on the Farm, Back in the Style Saddle
Sorry for the long, blog silence! The last couple of weeks have been challenging on many different levels. If you follow me on social media, you know what’s been going on, but if not, I’ll give you a really brief update: *** My family and I were supposed to be moving to Germany this week
Poncho It Up
It’s sweater weather! It’s kind of always sweater weather here in Oregon (at least in the mornings/evenings), so I love a good varie-tay 😉 A poncho sweater is the perfect answer to punch up your/my cozy arsenal. It acts like an everyday cardi, but it brings some drama to your look without even trying. It’s the
