So, God has blessed me with fair skin. Before you think I’m a racist, a supremacist, or just completely full of myself, hear me out. I didn’t always think of my fair skin as a “blessing.” As a good, high-school-aged, Georgia, southern girl oughta, I tanned my skin e-ry summer (and even went to the tanning bed
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
Leather + Lace(ups)
So excited to partner with Anthropologie for this second look! Now. Let’s talk some serious go-to’s. First up, this chambray top. You know the drill with chambray – it literally goes with everything – but the lace-up detail keeps it current, on-point, and interesting (especially when you layer it – the laces peeking out are such
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
Lace-up Life Lessons
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
Double (Denim) Date
Doing double denim all o’er agee-in, and agee-in, and agee-in. Wore this on a date with my honey bee, and had theeee best sushi ever, so I’m pretty sure this look has some serious feng shui powers going on, too.;) You can shop this harmonious look, below, and you can also shop some fun, sexy-red sandals
Valentine’s Rosies
Valentine’s Day is only five days away! If your guy needs a strong nudge in the right gift direction, point him here. No guy? These rosy trinkets are here for you (and probably smell a whole lot better;). Shopped the prettiest, loveliest gifts in soft, blushy hues… for really no reason other than I’m loving
Criss Cross Applesauce
So, I’m putting yesterday’s rose-tinted glasses post to the test this am… I woke up with the nasty cold my kiddos have been fighting all week – which isn’t a huge surprise, since they haven’t been much farther than a foot from my face for the last several days. But, still. I was supposed to
La Vie En Rose
The phrase, “life through rose-tinted glasses,” often draws cynical, dismissive snorts from the sarcastic realists of the world, but I just think of that phrase in a different way, I suppose. Life, in general, is a challenge for all of us, and downright harrrrrd at times. Being able to view this challenging – sometimes brutally so –
