There's really no easy way to jump into today's scheduled post. If you follow us on Instagram you know that this past week (really the past 2 weeks) have been exceptionally hard for us. Last Wednesday we had to say goodbye to our precious French bulldog Lucy and we are beyond crushed. I will talk about this when I feel the time is right, but for now, we are trying our best to heal and find some sense of normal. Getting back into my regular posting schedule, working on creative projects and engaging with you guys on social media have started to help. Maybe it's just a temporary distraction but it's all I can do to prevent sitting in this empty house and letting my mind wander. I do want to thank everyone for the kind notes and prayers that were sent our way this past week. Austin and I read each one. And though it doesn't take away the pain from losing a loved one, it was comforting to read your words of hope, love and strength. ...

My Favorite Plaid Blazers for Fall
A plaid blazer is everything I look for in my fall wardrobe. And if you've been a reader for a while, this probably comes as no surprise. A boyfriend style blazer is refined, simple and crisp and can transform any pair of denim. With a plaid blazer you can keep it easy with a relaxed white tee (my favorite, I actually bought two because I wear it so much) or a graphic tee.
Below, I'm sharing a few of my favorite plaid blazers for fall. Which one is your favorite? ...
