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
Atypical Holiday Look
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
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
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
Trending: Fringe + Lace-ups
It’s no secret that fringe and lace-up shoes are having a major moment right now, and this mama has been slurping that cool aid for a while now – totes lovin’ it. 😉 I love my new fringe addition! Mine is olive, but it comes in other colors, too (blush + black). Such a fun
Some Colorful Sunday
On your mark, be set (as my 3-year-old says), goooo….. full on color!! And add a little fringe while you’re at it, because I’m positive you can’t have a bad day if you’re wearing some. Here’s what I wore to church this past Sunday, and some snaps of back-parking-lot races, afterwards. 😉 Top: J.Crew Factory
Oui Oui, Mademoiselle
My little girls just spent this past weekend at a father-daughter campout, and had the time of their lives (!!), but it somehow sparked a deep need in my eldest to have more one-on-one time with me. So. On a particularly blustery day, we dressed our own versions of “French,” bought croissants, and walked around
Snow, Sleet, or Rain…. Shine + Sparkle On
This NYE shoot was slightly comical. Between the gusty wind, rain, sleet, and snow avalanching down from the trees, it’s a wonder that there are any dry patches of outfit to sport in this look. This very Mary Poppins meets Narnia shoot and weather scenario is actually kind of a great metaphor of my life this
Fringin' Out
Fall, fall, fall. I love love fall. The cozy layers, the changing leaves, the chilly air, the fireplace cuddling, the excitement of looking forward to the holidays…. there isn’t anything I don’t love about it. And adding a little fringe to the fall mix? Stoppp. Not sure I can handle all this fall-tasticness! So. The thing
