Oversized Biker Jacket + Top 10 Best Lifetime Movies

  I thought I’d spice this post up by sharing with you some of my favorite Lifetime Movie Network films.  I’ve been obsessed with Lifetime movies for as long as we’ve had cable (we didn’t get cable TV until I was in high school).  They’re a little cheesy, somewhat predictable, but I love them and […]

Real Outfit Recap + Need Your Turkey Tips

I’m not going to complain about Daylight Savings–I promise.  BUT, all of the sudden, it’s winter in Chicago.  I’ll mildly about that because it’s TOO SOON.  I was driving along on Monday, just feeling happy and seeing the bright and beautiful leaves were still on the trees and outside it was a perfect 54 degrees […]

Real Outfit Recap + Is November Still Fall?

Happy Friday, gang!  I can’t believe Halloween is over.  I used to be really into it for myself, but now I focus on the kids.  I always have grand plans of doing family costumes and the fail immensely…well, at least the kids were dressed up.  Harry dictated the costumes this year as he really wanted […]

A Simple New Year’s Eve Look

If I’m being completely honest, this holiday season hasn’t felt very merry.  We’ve been in the process of (trying) to buy a house and experienced some heartbreak, long days of searching, long days of work, and long bouts of sickness (if you saw my IG stories, you know what’s up).  Christmas is in four days […]

Party Dress in a Pinch

The holidays are here which means 1.) I’m busy and 2.) I forget to order things sometimes.  Enter: Nordstrom 24/7 buy online, pick up in-store – and for the holidays (12/16 – 12/24) you can pick up your order at any given hour! It’s pretty genius, really.  I needed a party dress for this weekend […]
