I follow J.Crew’s style motto of “leave something just a little bit undone” to the letter, most days – mostly by accident (I’m a mom of 4 young things! Something is always undone!). Like an un-ironed, travel-rumpled shirt? Nailed it. Honestly though, I love my clothes to feel, and be, lived in – makes me
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
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

Come on fashion world – that’s just annoying. So annoying, that I took it upon myself to research the origins of both the Varsity jacket
Trees + Trim
‘Tis the season to deck the halls! For us, this past weekend was all about getting the decorations out, and picking out a tree – my favorite time of yearrrr! Two things you should know: 1. I ordered a bunch of fresh garland from costco.com, and then found some way, way cheaper at a real-building-Costco,
SMP Style Skip: Deep Blue Sea
Our sehr schön, German partner blogger, Roya of Blue Jeans White Shirt, suggested a “Deep Blue Sea” theme for this month’s Skip! It could be nautical-inspired, beachy, or just something deep blue…. While I didn’t go for anything very nautical or beachy, I immediately knew I wanted to shoot near the deepest blue hue I’ve
Dude Jeans
Funny story. So, while quickly shooting this look the other day, some guys asked if I was shooting my high school graduation pictures?! They were quite far away, and I’m fairly certain they didn’t see or hear our four kiddos squealing about something at our feet…. but hey, I’ll take shocking flattery from guys with
