Does anyone else feel like once fall and winter come into play, so do hats? It's the time of year when I start incorporating them more into my looks... and let's be honest, hats mean you can get away with washing your hair less which I'm all for. I love the extra element hats can bring to a fall or winter look, as they almost give that 'finishing' touch. You know what I mean? ...
I've gotten several questions to round up my favorite puffer jackets of the season but TBH, I wanted to make sure I was totally into the style first. Y'all know I like to try things out before sharing them, whether that's a beauty product or a trend, and I can now confidently report that puffer jackets are on the approved list. ...
I have been coloring my hair for many many years and it's always been important for me to use products that preserve my color. As much as I love my hairdresser, I like to keep my salon visits at a minimum. Since I've colored for so long, I have to use certain products to keep it healthy and reduce breakage. ...
I've been wearing moto and lug boots for a couple of months now and it seems like a lot of y'all are interested in the trend...but don't necessarily want to invest in it, which I understand. I usually try out a trend with a more affordable item and then if I'm sold, I'll invest in a pricier item. Or, I'll get lucky and end up happy with the more affordable version! ...
Y'all know by now (hopefully!) that I love supporting small businesses throughout the year. I really try to highlight and source from small businesses not only because you can find amazing, unique finds, but because I know what it's like to essentially be a smaller business. More so than ever in 2020, I think it's important to support these small brands whenever we can. Obviously many have dealt with the struggles of COVID and I think we all want to give back in any way possible. ...
I'm happy to hear that y'all have been into my 'How to Style' blog posts lately so I'll be sure to keep them up. This month, I wanted to cover a trend that is everywhere but can be tricky to style: combat boots. Since I love a good dress year-round, I thought it would be fun to mix them in with the edgier look of a combat boot, all while still staying true to my style.
Let me know what you think and what you'd like me to style next.

I've been bringing y'all a lot of Gift Guides lately so hopefully, you're just about set, but let's not forget the stocking stuffers! For stockings, I like to fill Austin's with a lot of his personal basics, some treats, and then a few nicer items too - which I'm highlighting below. I know I always love getting a nice surprise in my stocking, so if you're looking for ideas, I think I have you covered within this post! ...
If you're like me, there are still some gifts to buy before the holidays. Many of you mentioned you weren't able to travel this season to be with family, so you wanted to send something special instead. Fossil has a lot of gifts that the whole family can enjoy. They are known for their classic timepieces and leather craftsmanship, so you know you will be giving a quality gift! ...
My Holiday Gift Guides launched last month, but a budget-friendly guide has been one of my most requested categories this season. Nordstrom has the best selection of gifts. The make it easy to shop on a budget or with a specific price-point in mind and you can truly find anything for you family.
I broke it down by classic gifting for him, her and baby all under $50. And because stocking stuffers make me happy, I threw in some suggestions in as well. ...
As we round out the last few Gift Guides on the site, I wanted to cover Under $100 specifically. I feel like it's a common budget for people in your family, coworkers, a boss, or something like that, and I tend to have a budget in mind when shopping for gifts anyway. All of these items are thoughtful and lux, in my opinion, and most are items that people would think were more expensive than they actually are.
To see all of the Gift Guides on the site this year, head here.
