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. ...

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. ...

4 Shoes that Can Dress Up Your Casual Style

I feel like my style has gotten a little more casual recently (I'm blaming mom life). And although I love a good special occasion or workwear, mom jeans, a comfy basic tee and a good blazer or cardigan is basically my uniform right now. There are times when I need to keep things a little more polished, though, and this is when I rely on my shoes. I'm a believer that small things like shoes can make a big impact and kind of dress up more casual outfits. It's all in the details, right? ...

How to Make Boyfriend Jeans Look Feminine

Boyfriend jeans have become a huge staple in this mama’s wardrobe the last few months. They have a looser fit and overall tend to feel more comfortable throughout the day. But because of their slightly baggier style, they can look a little bit more masculine in my opinion. Hence the name, I suppose. So whenever I wear them, which these days is very often, I like to add some feminine details to soften the look. Keep reading for a few ways to accomplish the look. ...
