Since about late-middle school/early-high school, I’ve been searching for skin products to deal with my insane skin issues. Ya know… back then I used to think as soon as I hit my 20’s my skin would magically be perfect, blemish and rose-y-cheek free. Boy was I wrong!! Late 20’s, and they are still here. Yep,
Get Loose – Winter Edition
Last week, I mused about winterizing a very un-warmthed wardrobe into one that can handle nor’easters and blizzards with ease. This week, I’ll share what I’ve come up with. As I’ve struggled thought sub-zero dressing, I’ve turned frequently to whowhatwear’s 30 Day Winter Challenge! It’s had me doing all sorts of things like belting chunky
Ice Dream Date
I recently went on a little ice cream date with my 6-year-old son, and I can’t tell you how unbelievably sweet the whole experience was! It expanded far beyond the 45 minutes of precious, one-on-one time (and in our crazy, 4-kiddo fam, one-on-one time is Holy Grail sacred). In the days leading up to it,
Space Travel
My baby boy turned three! How did that happen?! We all talk about how fast it all goes by, because it’s all too true. This is the beginning of a Brand New Era for my husband and I. Having 4 kiddos in 4.5 years, has meant that we’ve been digging in the baby/toddler trenches for 7.5
Winterize Me, Baby
It’s still winter, in case you forgot. My southern girl roots have grown deep in the thought that February brings Valentines day AND light jackets! Such a thesis, coupled with the fact that I am employed by an industry that works 6 months ahead and you’ll find me in a real conundrum every morning at
Date Night
I love Date Nights! My husband is my favorite person on the planet, so to get quality, alone, hand-holding, strolling, convo time with him is just about the best thing in the world to me. It wasn’t exactly a date night when we shot this, since we had all four kiddos in tow, but we
Trend to Try Now: Shop Sleeveless Coats/Jackets
Spring is around the corner (right?!?!), and we’re taking the opportunity to start shopping some of the Spring 2015 trends we saw stomping down runways in New York this past September. A great one to start off with, is the sleeveless coat/jacket. Wear now over anything with long sleeves (think warm sweaters + jackets: motos,
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
Heart Trenchingly Good
Gotta fill up those cold, grey, rainy days with lotsa love. Wearing: Dress: Ann Taylor (sold out – similar dress via Wallis). Bow Blouse: Ann Taylor. Heart Trench: Urban Outfitters (sold out – love this printed cape via Anthropologie!). Rings: Jules Smith (+ love this by JS, too). Boots: Juicy Couture (old – love these by Stuart
