Is there anything more exciting than a Stitch Fix box delivered to your door? Well, the answer to that is a bit complicated. I LOVE getting that little box in the mail.

I rip open the box and squeal in delight as I sift through the layers of soft and fluttery fabrics, chunky knits and um... long sleeves and sweaters? What the what?! … [Read more...]
We've been having a real laid-back life here lately. It's what we need and what summer is all about. I think that if you can grab that time, then go for it.
