The Backpack Trend: Going My Way?
So, in case overalls and Birkenstocks weren’t junior enough, backpacks were also added to the mix as a major trend this spring. They will also continue to be one of the new “It” bags this fall. After trying overalls (not so bad!), this trend is a piece of cake. They come in all kinds of grown-up
Ice Cream for Summer Color!
It’s stillll summer, despite all the new, flanneled, quilted, and leathered fall lines popping up everywhere. I admit, I get pretty excited about wearing fall clothes; there are so many layers and options to play with, and I can practically smell the thin, cold air mixed with crunchy leaves! But a huge part of me
Lady Meets Tomboy
I am feeling purple hues like you read about, lately! I love the whimsy of lilac, anchored with a deep, serious bordeaux – especially in the summer, since it’s kind of unexpected. I also like playing matchmaker with pieces in my closet that have never met. It’s fun to be a little irreverent with ladylike
Desk-to-Dinner: Stripes + Floral
Aaaand we’re back to the good ol’ standby pencil skirt! Boy, does that girl have your back (literally). The one I’m wearing is stretchy, and the playful print keeps it fresh and fun in-and-out of the office. I kept my office look on the casual side (cuz that’s how I usually roll), and paired it
SMP Style Skip: Deep Sea "Workwear" Blues

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
Spotted: Sweats + a Striped Tee
I love mixing prints and playing with color every now and then (can you tell?)! You know what I also love? This yellow sweatshirt skirt from H&M. It’s one of those pieces that can brighten any mood, and doesn’t even wrinkle when your two-year-old wads it up, and stuffs it in his Lightning McQueen backpack.
4th of July: Stars + Stripes + Chambray
Woot!! This mama is on vacay, and I’m loving every second of it!! So, in honor of celebrating America this 4th, I put together a little patriotic “stars + stripes” look. Can you feel the warm sunshine, cool lake breeze, and smell the bbq? Ahhhh….. Oregon Wearing: Tank: INC. Skirt: BB Dakota (similar). Necklace: Diana
One World + One British Girl + One Floral Scarf
When I found out we were doing our ‘Give Back’ blog this week, I instantly made my way to the local fair trade shop in my city centre. The One World shop is a fair trade outlet in Hull, UK. One World is a member of the British Association of Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers
