Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we? The 90s was a time of the chunky sneakers, lots of denim (I still love my Levi’s) and of course, graphic tees. While I wouldn't like to revisit some of the trends, there's plenty that I’m glad to see making a comeback. Plaid, oversized denim jackets, men's inspired blazers, and graphic tee’s to name a few. ...
A good shirtdress is a closet staple. It's versatile, easy to wear, and something you can almost wear year round. At least that's what I thought when I found this striped shirtdress a few weeks ago. ...
I’m usually pretty simple when it comes to my hairstyle — I like loose curls, piecey layers and a somewhat "undone" approach to my everyday hairdo. But lately, I’ve had so much fun with hair bows and headbands. There’s definitely a trend we are seeing in wearing accessories like silk ribbons, scrunchies and headbands. Not only is this the perfect solution to second (or third) day hair styling, but it also offers a youthful feel without being too childlike. ...
This week marks the start of school for many students and teachers. And though most of us aren't "going back-to-school" per se, what better time to refresh some of our office must-haves? Whether it's a new set of pens (these are my #1) or a new power blazer (I also own this in three colors), there's something for everyone on this list. ...
Whenever August rolls around, the urge to shop for fall starts to kick in. While I’m definitely enjoying all things summer — breezy dresses and slip-on sandals to be exact — I’m also really looking forward to bringing out my cozy layers. Until then, I'm doing what I can to get the best of both. And this is the kind of jacket that will take you from now straight into September. The color, print, and fit are everything I look for in a jacket. ...
It's been a while since I've done a "one style, two ways" type of post and when I heard about White House Black Market's latest "Reversible Collection", I knew you would be just as curious as I was.
I've shopped at WHBM for years. In my mind, they have always been my go-to for a little black dress and classic pieces that would stay in my wardrobe for years. But more recently I've been drawn to their casual tops and denim (do you remember this pair - ah some of my favorite jeans ever). ...
We are just 2 days away from the end of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And while it's easy to go overboard, I wanted to share 3 outfits you can still buy at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. These looks are classic, and will actually serve a purpose now and in the upcoming season.
I'm always encouraging you guys to find clothing that will bring value to your wardrobe. Whether it's a basic that you will be wearing all year long or an investment piece you can wear for years to come. It's all about finding what works for you. ...
After an exciting weekend in Fort Worth, I am spending the morning getting caught up on emails and prepping for a busy work week ahead. You may have seen some snaps on instagram stories, but I was in Fort Worth celebrating my best friend Jenn's bachelorette party. I've known Jenn since I was in 8th grade and we have remained close friends since. We taught Kindergarten together and then moved schools and she taught 2nd while I taught 1st. The weekend was a time to see my other teacher friends and meet new ones. I can't wait for the wedding in October! ...
To know me is to know my love for blazers. And yes, even year round — if you missed my Summer Blazer post, you can catch it here. I'm still very much in a summer state of mind, but I can't help but long for the time of year when we can wear layers.
Below, I'm rounding up 5 of my top blazer picks all on sale. With a statement blazer like these, you can easily make a casual outfit stand out and look so classy and chic! ...
