PJs for Days
One of my favorite things is a pajama set. I think I first heard the term little luxuries from Ashlee Gadd, but that is definitely what I think about when I think of PJs. I love changing into my PJs as soon as we’re home for the night. Or, if I can’t get to it before […]
Little Red Dress
If there's a color that I've always loved, it's red. I'm not totally sure why, because as far as bright colors, this is one of them, and I usually shy away from c o l o r, but red seems to be the exception. I don't know if it's because I think it's a super patriotic color (#militaryspouse) or because I think it's a happy color - no matter why, I'm a fan of red.
Black is My Favorite Summer Color
It doesn't actually matter the season, there will be black in my closet. And even though, if there is going to be color, it's most likely to being during summer, I still gravitate to what I love... the color black. I think it's pretty obvious if you look at my outfits. One of the items on my summer wardrobe list was black jean shorts - denim and distressed were the qualifications.
My Summer Swimwear
I am all about the swimsuits this summer! Mainly because I can wear one everyday if I want, because that Colorado sun is so rad. It's been a few summers since I really looked at buying swimsuits so I wasn't totally sure what I wanted. Clearly, the one-piece swimsuits caught my eye. They just make so many good ones now that it's hard to say no.
Wearing Camo, Again
I bought these camouflage pants four years ago, but I just recently pulled them out of the back my closet and I can't stop wearing them. A lot of trends do have a repeat season, and if you find a piece that you like, it's worth hanging onto. To me, camo has always felt like a neutral, with a little edge. Whether it's a jacket, pants or shirt, wearing camouflage adds a fun little edge to your wardrobe.
Shoes to Wear with Cropped Jeans
Cropped jeans are popping up everywhere (and in the dead of winter) and if you get a pair, they'll probably be your most worn pair come spring and summer. There are different styles of cropped jeans from flares to skinnies to split hem to wide leg so most likely, you'll be able to find your favorite style of jean in a cropped version
What to Wear to the Beach
LOCATION | Capitola Beach, Capitola CA shorts (like these too!) | tank (similar) | sweatshirt ℅ Tobi | sunglasses but I like these too Before I moved to Monterey, I would have never thought that you would or need to wear anything other than a swimsuit to the beach. But since this coast struggles to hit warm temperatures, I’ve gotten almost zero use out […]

an everyday look
Here’s the thing, when it comes to my everyday, this is eighty-five percent how I roll: something easy to wear and minimal effort with hair and makeup. I say eighty-five percent because I do occassionally add mascara, and it usually makes a world of difference in my face. Any while it’s not always sunny in the […]

the shoes I wear most often
I remember when I bought this pair of Birkenstocks, about two years ago. And, while I'm not sure they're as in as they were two years ago, they are the shoes that I wear most often!
wearing overalls
I bought my first pair of overalls in a covert operation at Hollister. Covert because, a thirty year old mama shopping at Hollister....I've told the story before.
styling a jumpsuit
What I hear most often, when I wear a jumpsuit, romper, one-piecer - pick your adjective - what I hear most is people telling me that they just wouldn't know how to wear that.
