Chic but Cool Halloween Decorations

I've mentioned before I don't go too crazy for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I do like adding something a little festive. Especially now that we have George — we want this to be an exciting time for him too! He's at an age where he is pointing and smiling, and he loves the pumpkins and the butterflies that we've added around the house. We have this whole routine where we light up the Jack-o-lanterns each morning together. He gets very excited about it. I can only imagine what Christmas will be like! ...

I tried shirts from Equipment, Everlane, Banana Republic, Target, Madewell and Old Navy, just to name a few. I was surprised at which one I ended up loving the most! ...

4 Ways to Style Combat Boots

Y'all seemed to enjoy the 4 Ways to Style a T-Shirt Dress post last month so I thought I'd make it a monthly thing. Each month, I'll choose one trend or item I see myself wearing often, and will style it a few different ways.

My Dermatologist Recommend this At-Home Facial for Healthy Skin (and it works)

When my dermatologist recommended this at-home facial, I knew it was going to be good.

I also follow several dermatologists and estheticians on Instagram — I love accounts that teach me how to care for my skin. ...
