Umm, this jacket. This jacket was one of my recent “investment” splurges, because a) It’s gorgeous. b) It’s buttery soft. c) It fits perfect. d) It’s something I can wear year-round. That pretty much sums up my criteria for any type of wardrobe investment piece – the look, the quality, the fit, the longevity. Any
Floral + Flannel
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
Falling for Overalls
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
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
Last Rays of Summer
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:
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
To Market, To Market
This day was really special for us in Cabo. We strolled, had a lovely beachside lunch, strolled again, and then stumbled upon theeee cutest and most unique market we’d ever been to. Meet Flora Farms – a special, farm-to-table oasis, settled in a little valley of San Jose del Cabo. I’ll post about our experience
Santa Cruzin'
Summer is here! It’s really, really here! I know it’s not almanac-official until the 21st, but for our family, it’s summmmmer! We kicked our’s off with a nine day trip down the pacific coast to ol’ Disneyland to celebrate our third-born’s 5th birthday. 5th birthdays are properly cellied at Disney in our family, which means we
Dress-Pair Those Flares
So. Wearing dresses (and skirts) over pants is the somewhat new styling thing, and while this isn’t really a new trend I’ve added to my style game, this is the first time I’ve gone all-out “dress.” In the past, I’ve stuck with shirt dresses, which was so safe of me (“is it a dress? Or
Sunday Brunch
Told ya that I bought more pairs of culottes, and I wasn’t lyin’! This pair is only $25 from Forever 21 – a great price tag anytime, but especially when you’re trying something you’re unsure you’ll like (or thought you’d despise – like me!). Slapped on a little crop top, and some accessories, and I
