If I could only dress for one season, I would always and forever choose fall. As much as I love the sun, what I love even more are jeans and layers and boots and sweaters. In fact, last week while sitting on the beach in Hawaii with only a swimsuit and flip-flops on I thought…

What I’ve been wearing
Back in the day I used to play along with a blog thing called what I wore. Today seems like a fun day for the next installment! While I am far from a legit fashion blogger, I do think its fun to see what other people are wearing to help put together outfits or try…
Cute summer pajamas
There are many things about my mom that I’m thankful she passed on to me: Her natural way with children. Her preference for baking. Her love of flowers, pretty gift wrapping, a good musical, chocolate, meaningful conversation, family. And also her appreciation for cute pajamas. The thing about pajamas is that because you don’t wear…
4 Summer Dresses + 1 Swimsuit Coverup all under $25
Each summer I like to put together a seasonal fashion post with a handful of stylishly casual (and mom-friendly) outfits. I typically buy a few new pieces for these posts and pull the rest from my neutral closet. Last summer, I ended up finding quite a few new items and since I steer toward classic…
18 white t-shirts to wear this Spring
Just as I love decorating with neutrals in our house, I like dressing myself in them as well. Jeans everyday paired with gray, blue or (my favorite) white. You should see my closet … it’s not very interesting. I’ve heard before that wearing white when you are as pale-skinned as I am is not really…

I’m officially an earring-wearer | 12 styles under $50
One of the 40 by 40 items on my list is to wear earrings. I had this moment this summer when I realized earrings were missing from my life. I’m not traditionally much of a jewelry wearer – usually just my wedding rings, a watch and sometimes I’ll put on a necklace. There are so…
Still looking for a mom-appropriate swimsuit? Try one of these
Finding a good swimsuit that fits well, is flattering and mom-appropriate can be a little tricky. Here’s the thing: I don’t know many women (or any at all?) who feel awesome in a swimsuit. We all have our insecurities. We all have our perceived flaws. We all wish we ate fewer donuts and spent more time working out…
Seven favorite outfits for the summer
Summer fashion means light-weight, fresh, easy and casual. I’m a Pacific Northwest girl and our summer temperatures typically max out around the high 80’s, so I switch between jeans (forever my favorite), shorts (not my fave, but I’m learning to embrace them), basic dresses (always an easy go-to) and a few simple tees + tanks to…

What I’m Wearing While On The Road
I’ll be honest … figuring out what clothes to pack for a four month journey occupied a good chunk of my brain leading up to our departure date. When selecting what clothes to bring I had to consider a handful of factors: VERY MINIMAL CLOSET SPACE Our airstream has two small wardrobe closets on either side of the…
Current Go-To Accessories
I brought along just a few of my favorite accessories. Three bags, a couple of hats, a pair of sunglasses. I’ve used them over and over again these past three weeks. Well, except the sun hat. That one hasn’t been needed quite yet, but I’m sure I’ll get to it soon. THE SLING BACKPACK This…

A Sweet Vintage Easter Dress for Audrey
I couldn’t help it. Boden was having a sale + Audrey is growing like crazy + this print was just too darling to pass up. When the dress arrived in the mail, it was even better than I imagined. The pattern is perfectly sweet and poppy, the fit is classic and twirly, and it even…
