The balloon sleeve sweater has to be the unsexiest name for a garment ever; balloon sleeve by itself sounds like a surgical device. But, it’s a descriptor and it’s pretty spot on when it comes to this top. This statement sleeve emerged a couple years ago but it’s still going strong and I love how […]
Hope you all had an awesome week. We had our mantel replaced (did you catch it on IG stories?) ad while it’s night quite done it looks AMAZING. Our living room is quite large ad the little mantel that was there just didn’t do it justice (and I highly doubt it was original). And tonight […]
Happy Friday, everyone! This week kicked my butt but I’m feeling invigorated and excited for my little man, Harry, to start pre-k after the holiday. Other than that, we have a family Cubs game on the docket this weekend (my boys made it on the big board last year) and I’m going to prioritize some […]
I had some hesitation about going back into denim miniskirt territory but ultimately took the plunge. How is it different than the jean shorts I wear all summer, really?

They’re what I’d call a slim boyfriend and they go with EVERYTHING. As you can see, I really like pairing them with my […]
I love wearing black and white year round and spring is no exception. It’s easy to wear all white and it looks super chic, too. But throw in a little black, and it gives the look an unexpected edge–like maybe you aren’t as sweet as you look. I feel the same way about home decor; […]
I was never really a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. I love jeans (obviously, I wear these Levi’s several times a week) but I largely stopped wearing basic t-shirts back in high school. In my older age, I’ve come to appreciate their ease and simplicity, rarely will I grab a t-shirt and jeans in […]
Every season there’s a pattern, fabrication or texture that gets so excited for the upcoming months. In winter, it’s flannel, during the fall, it’s all about suede. And come spring (and even summer), I want want white and I want an eyelet fabric. What IS eyelet, anyway? Dictionary.com says it’s “a small round hole in […]
