The Lady Jacket: Fall 2024's It Girl Top
The lady jacket isn't exactly a new concept (think Jackie O.) but it's certainly having a moment this fall! Lady jackets come in all different styles (see below!) but typically they have a crew neckline, a slightly cropped length, and focal point buttons. Some are heavier like an actual jacket and some are more lighter-weight […]

Fall Boots (And My Hot Take on Skinny Jeans)
There are two types of boots I'm seeing everywhere this season that create two very different silhouettes for your favorite outfits. One is a very slender boot, often with a pointed toe. Because jeans are getting wider (hello to my new favorite pair), it's great to have a slim boot that you can zip up […]

The Best of July
July was the peak of summer in all the best ways! We intentionally slowed down a little this month, which included going off the grid at a beautiful mountainside lake and a trip to Idaho to see friends and family. We did a few house projects, like adding wallpaper to Greta's room, painting our front door, and […]

Dressed in Red, White & Blue
When it comes to my Fourth of July outfit, I like to let my preppy side come out. There's nothing like a classic red-and-white stripe. I love a slightly oversized American flag sweater or top, and I'm dipping into the boxer short trend a little bit — what can I say? They're so comfortable, I […]

My Favorite Pants That Aren't Jeans
A few months back, I came across this TikTok that shared a fashion revelation that kind of blew my mind. For years, millennial women have been rocking jeans and a cute top. Ask a millennial friend what she's wearing out, and chances are she'll reply, "Jeans and a cute top." Ask a Gen Z, however, […]

The 16 Cutest Sneakers For Women This Spring (or Year-Round)
Here's the thing. Ever since I can remember, my daily uniform consists of jeans and sneakers. Generally, I mix them with simple T-shirts, but almost every day, you can find me wearing jeans and sneakers. I realized years ago that if I'm getting a bunch of things done around the house without the proper foot […]

20 Summer Sandals I Love!
When we lived in Idaho, I could get away with wearing boots through May because, honestly, there was still a chance that it was going to snow at any moment. But here in NC, I swear the sun came out in February and the weather has been so sunny and warm ever since. I was […]

Favorite Denim Shorts
I'm normally not a shorts person. I like to stay warm at all times and I naturally run cold! That being said, the weather in North Carolina is actually begging me to show a bit more skins, so here I am in denim shorts. Also, I kind of love it. I especially love pairing denim […]

20 Favorite House Shoes (Don't Call Them Slippers)
In February, I gifted my older sister a lovely pair of velvet tasseled mules for her birthday, with a note wishing her a wonderful year of working from home. She’s new to the no-commute universe, and this felt like an exclusive token welcoming her to “the club.” Sort of our member’s jacket. The truth is […]
