Ok. So this name change thing. I’ve been on the fence for a while now, wondering if I should break away from Style Me Perfect, and create my own space for a blog (rather than via my company), and this last month of big changes for our family kind of solidified it for me. The recent
Sweater Weather
Meet my first sweater skirt. It was love at first color-combo-sight! Seriously though, that mint green and grey, sweater-softness, plus a bright punch of red? Christmastime deliciousness. Pssst, these pumps are only $20, too…. Turtleneck: Banana Republic (similar) | Sherpa Denim Jacket: Loft | Sweater Skirt: Moth via Anthropologie | Sunnies: F21 (similar) | Pumps:
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
Hungry Cow
I hope you had a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving, yesterday – we sure did! So many littles, so much happy, delicious noise, and food! I ate ev-er-y-thing four times. I still feel stuffed! But ya know who wasn’t? This cow. We shot this before the nordic blast hit us (if you follow me on Instagram, you
A Colorful Spring in My Step
This weather transition thing is tricky. It can be downright hot in the middle of the afternoon in direct sunlight, and then freezing in the mornings/evenings, or even just in the shade! Layers are key, but because I’m all ready for spring, and the warm, sunny moments tell me it’s spring, I’m ditching drab, blacks
Pinstripes + High-Tops
I’ve been a longtime Converse fan, but it wasn’t until recently that I did a little wikipedia research on the company. It was an interesting read! It was founded in 1908, originally manufacturing sporty shoes for tennis, but I found this to be the most intriguing: “The company’s main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star
Hi Ya, Sunny!
Oh, my Jude. He’s my biggest baby with the biggest heart. I should clarify big: he was born two weeks early, weighing 8.3 lbs (he would have been over a whopping 9 if he went full term!), and he arrived hungry. And is still always hungry. For the first year of his life, he was
Orange Ya Glad for Winter Colour?
This time of year is such a weather tease! And will be for the next couple of months…. Warm-ish, freezing, rain, snow, sleet, wind, blue skies – sometimes all on the same day. We’ve enjoyed an unusually warm and gorgeous spring spell, but it’s been back to frigid degrees and snow this past week. Then
Kisses for the Admiral
Happy Tuuuuesday! So, this outfit post is all about keeping it classic, and playing with proportions. I paired a fitted, slightly cropped, cutaway blazer (double-breasted is backkk!) with a flowy shirt dress, over some tan, leather-like, coated skinnies. I also added leopard pumps for some print interest, and a little forest green as a subtle
Orange is the New Black
Orange is absolutely my new, go-to, pick-me-up hue. I love wearing bright, bold color in the winter! I also happen to really love cold, dark, rainy/snowy weather, but I tend to reach for things that can instantly brighten up those days. Like this coat + scarf. Wearing: Chambray Shirt: Madewell. Jeans: Madewell. Coat: Zara (sold out
