It's no shocker that I love blazers. They've been a closet essential for me for about a decade now - when I was teaching, and then post-teaching styling them down with jeans, over dresses, and so on. And as Austin would say, I hoard blazers...but at least I wear them often, right? Right. ...
Since I was pregnant during similar seasons with both Charlie and George, I didn't have to (or want to) buy too many new clothes to fit the bump. First off, you really only end up wearing them for about 6-8 months, and secondly, there were only a handful of true maternity items I liked anyways - leggings, certain jeans, dresses, etc. Since I already had some of the staples needed, I was pretty particular about what I actually bought for my body during this pregnancy. And because I didn't want to spend too much more money, I really relied on places like Amazon for affordable staples that could be worn with or without a bump. I knew I'd be able to wear them while pregnant, and then again postpartum as my body recovered and was in between sizes. ...
I've gotta say, the peasant trend has come at a convenient time for me. Between pregnancy and now postpartum, it's safe to say if I'm not in leggings or biker shorts, I'm in some type of flowy dress. Plus, bump or no bump, I love the effortless look that a peasant dress can give. While my style isn't necessarily boho, I tend to seek out the peasant styles that have a simple, feminine touch, without too much fabric to get lost in. I'm sharing the 15 dresses you need to see within this style, from pricier options like this beautiful pink dress to a $30 Amazon midi that I own and really like. ...
A few months ago I got a DM asking if I could review and share a list of affordable makeup brushes. Specifically brushes under $20 that blend nice and don't shed. I love a good challenge and was pretty excited to work on something like this. Makeup is something I've always enjoyed and it's been fun to test out over 30 brushes (yes, 30) and pull together a list of my top recommendations. The best part? They are all $20 or less. ...
Dallas is hitting the 70s this week so you know I'm pulling out all the spring things, officially. And at the top of my shopping list each spring is, of course, sandals. From casual ones to throw on with denim cutoffs or a skirt, to heeled options that elevate a look, I honestly get a little giddy shopping for spring sandals. What can I say? I'm an accessories girl. ...
You know I live in blazers year-round but fall and spring are definitely my favorite seasons for them. While fall blazers are all about weight and plaid, spring blazers offer a chic light look that I love paired with jeans or over a dress. And with spring pastels a trend this season, I had a lot of fun scouring the web for the best spring blazers — finding some under $50! ...
It's no secret that I take my loungewear seriously; it's what you can find me in most days of the week if I'm at home or running errands. But now that loungewear is a *thing*, there's so much of it out there, it's hard to know what's good and what's just eh. And believe me, I get not wanting to spend too much money on joggers and lounge sets. ...
It's no secret I love a good neutral manicure. I truly can't remember the last time I did anything bright on my nails. I know many of you also feel the same way so I wanted to round up a few of my favorite manicures over the years. A lot of these are dip powder, but you could easily show your nail tech and they could color match in gel if that's what you prefer. ...
I always enjoy reading about people's habits and tips for a successful day. I'm so nosey and find it pretty fascinating to learn what people do to be more productive, relax, etc. I wrote about the 10 things I do before 10 am a few months ago, and wanted to share a list of 5 things I do everyday. Not necessarily work related, but just things that set me up for a productive day. ...
To start out the style content for 2021, I want to be realistic to things I've truly been living in. With a lot of our country still shut down and a more low-key vibe to begin the year, I think we can all appreciate more casual items right now. ...
