I’ve been waiting for spring and it’s finally officially sprung! Summer is actually my favorite season (I’m a summer baby) and with spring here that means I’m one day closer to my favorite time of year. So exciting! Soon we’ll be done with coats and moving to light jackets, blazers, and sweaters only which all…
Read More...Lighten the Mood with Grey
Grey is the type of color that is not a “mood”. Well it is, but not one that you’d want to brag about! If you’re in a grey mood it probably means that you’re having a blah day, feeling down, or not at your best and trust me, I’ve had many “grey” moods and understand…
Read More...Color My Coat: How to Wear Colorful Fur
I’m one for stretching my style muscle but a coat with colorful fur is a piece that I wouldn’t pick up on my own. “It’s not my style” I’d say, or “it’s too trendy”. But when I was gifted this coat for Christmas by my cousin I figured, why not. It’s unlike anything in my…
Read More...Mom Life on the Move
It’s official, my little baby is growing up! It’s happening so fast, this time last year he was only one month and barely weighed 6 pounds, now he’s a big ole 13 month old who just will not quit. I mean literally, will not stop, slow down, stand still, sit down, hold on, wait up…not…
Read More...5 Reasons to Own a Blanket Scarf
A blanket scarf is my wintertime superpower. It’s similar to walking around with your couch throw on, only cuter. They’re so long, thick, and cuddly and keep you warm but most importantly they’re easy to style. If you get the right one, they are the whole style! As we still have a few months of…
Read More...Take the Plunge
Sometimes trends take off that just aren’t for everyone. That’s how I’ve been feeling about “plunge” tops, dresses, jumpers, etc. You have to be anatomically shaped like Barbie on top to make the plunge look hot, and I resemble more of a “grandma melon load after 2 kids” in that area. I’ve tried rigging my…
Read More...Not a Typical New Year
We just cleared a week into the New Year and for me, it’s been a very long week. For one, I’m a part of this furlough that’s plaguing the Government. Secondly, my family unit and I are also coming to realize the importance of family support during a time of grief. What I took from…
Read More...Let’s Shop Small
I know Christmas is right around the corner, and many are still scrambling to get gifts or if you’re anything like me, you’ve yet to even start. Thank goodness for rapid shipping, right? Anyway, I’ve been a huge advocate of shopping small this year, and I put a post on Instagram asking for my followers to…
Read More...Fall into a Pleated Hem Sweater
A few weekends ago my friend and I took our daughters to visit the Monticello estate of Thomas Jefferson in middle Virginia. Our girls are very much into history, and Virginia history has been a part of their curriculum for many grades now. We started the day on a tour learning about Jefferson’s history of…
Read More...Shifts and Bombers – A Pairing for Fall

This season, the most popular item award goes to the bomber jacket, hands down. Everywhere you turn you’ll find a variation of bomber jacket ranging from H&M to Bergdorf Goodman in all colors, textures, and styles….
