Happy first day of fall! My favorite time of year!! My outfit is kind of saying a fond farewell to summer, and a warm welcome to fall with good ol’ Floral + Flannel. (I keep picturing 1950s, gum-smacking, ponytail-wearing, cafe-waitress, Texan besties. Or twins. I feel like I need to write a short story about
The Skinny on Grey
Today marks the start of fashion week madness! I’m a tiny bit sad I’m not there this year, but if I’m really honest, I feel more relieved than sad (NYFW can be a super-cray B). I made the decision not to go, based on some big stuff going on here – stuff that I thiiiink
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
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’m wearing them now in similar versions of the look below, and plan to wear them during fall/winter with tall boots, oversize sweaters, slim turtles with a sleek leather jacket…. Just to list a few
Easy Like Sunday Morning?
Whomever came up with the term “easy like Sunday morning,” clearly did not have and take young children to church on Sunday mornings. There’s nothin’ easy about that. Despite the rush to get out the door on time looking somewhat presentable, along with the constant “shushing,” and “be stills,” and herding, and potty-dashes, and toweling
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.
The New BR for Fall
So. Banana Republic. I cannot seem to stop shopping there now!!! It all started last fall, when the brand began cranking out some serious, on-point designs, as well as amping-up its styling game, in general. The timing of Marissa Webb being appointed as BR’s new Creative Director + Executive Vice President late last spring, is not lost on me. She’s
Fringe it Off
It’s Friiiiidayyy!!! I wore this out last Friday evening – it’s the perfect outfit to shake off the week, and shimmy into a fun-filled weekend (fringe really does have that kind of super power). I recently recommended the skirt I’m wearing to a client, which she bought, and then asked how she should wear it
