This is our first holiday season in the new house and I couldn't wait to add my personal touch on the Halloween decorations. I like to keep it pretty minimal by creating themed vignettes and sticking to a black and white color palette. The best part? Most of these decorations are budget-friendly and can be found at Amazon, Target or Walmart. Amazing right? ...
Q+A: What We’ve Used and Loved for Baby George
I did a little Q+A last Friday and couldn't believe how many baby-related questions came through. There were quite a few repeats, so I wanted a place to document the most popular questions in hopes all of you who were curious, got a chance to see! ...
6 Things That Get Me Through Tough Weeks
Life can get crazy no matter what your circumstances are (mom, single, etc.) but sometimes it feels a little trickier to work through than usual. I've been thinking about this for sometime, and really didn't know how I wanted to talk about it. But I would say, if you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed, it's always good to get the conversation started with someone you trust.
From the general stress of work to feeling like I don't have the best work-life balance to wondering if I'm not giving the relationships in my life the time they need—there's a lot on my mind 24/7 and some weeks it really takes a toll. ...
Trending For Fall: Combat Boots
The combat-boot trend might not be for everyone, but it's definitely one we will see a lot of this season (I still love this pair from last year). If you're on the fence, these Moto Boots are a nice compromise –– edgy but still feminine. However, if you're ready to dive in, I personally love this heeled version (they are actually comfortable for a heeled boot) and this studded pair that I wore here over the weekend (go a 1/2 size down). Oh and I just bought this quilted pair that I have been stalking because they are now 40% off. ...
The Loafers I Swear By For a Long Day on My Feet
OK, listen up teachers, moms wrangling toddlers and anyone else that might find themselves on their feet for a long period of time. I found a loafer that is just as comfortable as it is chic. Meet The Starling in Cheetah Calf Hair from Birdies. It's no wonder this shoe has almost 1000 positive (and verified) reviews. ...
The Only Eyeshadow Palette You Need This Fall
I've tried a lot of eyeshadow palettes over the years and the truth is, I never really felt like they were worth the money. I'm more of a "natural eyeshadow" kind of gal and most of the palettes I tried were either too smokey, too coppery or just didn't really appeal to what I would wear on a day-to-day basis. ...
Travel-Friendly Basics For the Jet Setter
Today, we are heading down to Austin for our first little getaway since having George. We are so excited but leaving has been a little harder for me than I anticipated. Knowing he's in good hands makes it a little easier though. Plus getting to sleep-in sounds amazing. ...
September Top 10
This post is a little overdue, but this series has been loved by many of you so let's keep it going, shall we?
September had a lot of fall favorites. It seems that a lot of you have been gearing up for Halloween, updating your Fall wardrobe and makeup bag. ...
We Decorated Our Front Porch For Halloween
It's our first official Halloween in the new house (we moved literally 2 weeks before Halloween last year) and we couldn't wait to get everything decorated for the holiday. Inspired by all the bat photos on Pinterest, I decided to finally go for it. We kept it pretty simple and surprisingly, everything was really easy to pull together. ...
Animal Print for the Minimalist
By now you're probably fully vested in this season's animal print craze and I have to say -- I don't hate it. Whether you're going all in or you take it from a more minimal approach, it's easy to find something that works for everyone.
I personally love a more minimal look, especially when it comes to animal print. Of course, I can appreciate all styles, but I'm particularly inspired by simple basics with a pop of color or print. For me, that could be a silky leopard blouse, denim, heels and very little jewelry or a boyfriend blazer paired with a tee, and leopard print sunglasses. ...
