So, we had a bit of a CATastrophe last week… I’ll spare you the disgusting details, but let’s just say darling kitty had tummy trouble no amount of Resolve could solve! The ivory shag rug we’ve had nearly 15 years year wound up curbside. It has served us well. However, this space has been crying for an update. What better way to freshen things up than by adding an affordable neutral rug?…
After more than a year of going nowhere, thoughts of vacation are beginning to surface again. Do you have a trip on the horizon? I’m here to help you pack for it! Let’s be honest, as much as we might wish things to go “back to normal”, travel in 2021 won’t look like the trips of old. Vacations this spring and summer will be decidedly low key, socially distant affairs.…
Like it or not, we live in a very visual world. Photos are all around us. We stockpile family photos and travel memories. We curate our online image with professional headshots and profile pictures. And we can’t forget about all those candid snaps filling our camera rolls! But that doesn’t necessarily mean we feel comfortable on camera. In fact, it’s pretty normal to dislike the way you look in photos (that was me 4 years ago).…
2020 (and now 2021) have been many things… Glamorous is certainly NOT one of them! Most days we are simply trying to stay afloat, to find a work-from-home balance, and to stay healthy. We’ve cut out time consuming beauty rituals, opting instead for fresh, natural faces. We’ve swapped blazers for cozy sweatshirts, pencil skirts for leggings. In many ways this shift is wonderful.…
Whether you’re staying in or going out, Valentine’s Day calls for something special. You want to feel romantic. So, why not start with your hair? Here are several romantic hairstyles you can pull off in minutes… no styling skills required! These are equally perfect for watching Netflix in your pajamas or for dining out dressed to the nines.

At times it feels like we’re all losing our minds a bit… Do you need a work from home alternative? Is isolation driving you nuts? Are you eyeing this calming work space like a child spotting an ice cream truck on a hot summer day? Believe me, I get it! My “office” sits in my son’s playroom. With toys to the right and my printer resting on toys to the left, it’s basically a chaos sandwich.…
As we kick off the new year, I’ve been busy reassessing/organizing my closet. It’s quite a mess! Consequently, I made a 2021 resolution—buy less by focusing on quality. Stick to the classics. Keep things streamlined. Are YOU looking to simplify your wardrobe in 2021? Do you gravitate toward easy, elegant styles? This post dives into what I firmly believe is one garment every woman needs in their closet: the wrap (or faux wrap) dress.…
Let’s get real for a minute… This winter—and New Year’s Eve in particular—will be as chill as they come! Our dialed back at-home celebrations demand cozy comfort. However, if you’re like me, you might still be yearning for festive attire. Although 2020 has been the year of sweatpants not statement fashion… We can strike a balance! One of my favorite ways to do that is by “fancying up” unexpected pieces, like joggers.…
Here we go… Twirling on in to 37! This past weekend, I celebrated my birthday and took some time to reflect on the ways my life, attitudes, and style have changed over the years. Turns out “older and wiser” couldn’t be more spot-on! I may have a few more wrinkles and my feet firmly planted in middle age, but I’ve never felt more confident in my skin.…
I wish I could tell you my Christmas shopping is complete, that I’ve got all my ducks in a row this holiday season… However, I’ve barely started! Can any of you relate? That’s where this quick post comes in. Sweaters have long been one of my favorite gifts to give and receive. They are practical, cozy, and easy to tailor to your recipient’s personal style.…
