Jane for the Holidays

I have a secret. I buy A LOT of things from Jane.com.  Especially when it comes to the holidays and seasonal items for the home.  However, I also buy some really cute clothes and accessories from there.  Every time I wear an item from there someone asks about it too.  Full of different vendors and always new items I am a huge fan of this fun site. (not sponsored) Favorites Right Now (get them while they last!) I pulled the trigger and bought this coat.  My kids are MORTIFIED. I don't care. It's warm. I love it and it makes me happy every time I wear it. I bought a pair of these in leggings in black last year.  I wore them on New Year's Eve.  It was a pajama/cozy themed party and these were a hit.  They are leggings after all. :) These velvet gloves dress up my peacoat … [Read more...]

Dark & Delightful Denim

Two weeks ago I wore my first pair of dark denim for the summer.  I never wear denim in the summer months unless they are in shorts form.  I just cannot.  Then suddenly we had a few cool days and paired with a sleeveless top the denim was just right. Fast forward to September.  School is back in session and the idea of denim dark or light wash is delightful.  I am wearing cropped black jeans as I type.  Now I'm all about the idea of dark & delightful denim with raw hems and flares for Fall.

Fall is in the Air

This morning as I sat outside working through my devotions I noticed that the light has already begun to change.  Golden leaves are falling from the Tulip Poplar trees in my yard.  Already.  Fall is more than a month away but the subtle changes are in the air. Minutes later my friend showed off her newest purchase for fall in her FB Stories.  I was both appalled at the thought of fall fashion- it's too soon! The pool still beckons me daily! To also swooning over this gorgeous sweater-blazer. I need it.  I want it.  Really, it's so cozy looking and really amps up an outfit. After a quick peek online, I was down a rabbit hole of fall looks. I ended up with these finds. I'm seriously loving neutrals right now and the blending of burgundy in with them to add a richness to … [Read more...]

12 Days of Things I Love

Happy December! This month I'm doing 12 Days of Things I Love.  Each week I will share a few more items until we hit that magic number 12. I've done three items this week so far.  Let's get started, shall we? I featured this item to kick off the event.  It's a darker take on holiday nails and since Essie is one of my favorite nail polish brands I had to share it. You take Essie Wicked and apply it over your base coat.  Then layer on Essie Bordeaux and finish it off with a top coat.  It's a deeper burgundy that glows with depth.  I love it this holiday season and through the new year. Next, my can't go a day without my cozy shearling-lined slippers from Lands End.  I have a Josie Blue pair from last year and they held up well all year long.  This year you can monogram … [Read more...]

Back to School for Moms Means Wardrobe Refresh

We go back to school next week.  I'm wavering between ecstatic joy that the endless sibling arguing will be over and then feeling sad that our carefree summer is coming to a close. Who Doesn't Love Fall & Back to School Time? Back to school shopping is when my early bird personality has us finishing up our back to school supply and clothes shopping in early August. Honestly, I do most of it online to avoid in aisle fighting, crowds, lines, all of it. Ask me how I buy clothes for my tween? I let her fill up store carts online and then we go through the carts together with our budget in mind and make choices together. It's way less stress in the store, issues in the dressing room and it actually makes it fun for her and me to work together.  I started doing it with the younger two this … [Read more...]
