This post was created in partnership with REI. #sponsored These days, I am very strategic about the clothes I purchase. I keep a budget and save up for new pieces I want to add to my wardrobe, and always try to maximize my budget by combining special offers or rewards programs to make the most of my purchase. Today's post includes some of my tips and tricks for doing just that! Before I dive right in, it's important to mention a couple things that form the foundation of this Read More
Style 101: The Third (Completer) Piece Rule
When you put an outfit together, there's a simple little trick to instantly elevate your look. It's called a third (completer) piece. Interestingly enough, I've read that employees at Nordstrom, Madewell, Banana Republic and others are encouraged to wear outfits of three pieces (not including shoes). Why?

Review // Everlane Rain Boots
Chicagoland is known for its finicky weather and the past couple weeks were no exception. Just days after a polar vortex and almost a foot of snow, we enjoyed a nearly 60 degree swing soon after. What?! Needless to say, all the snow turned to piles of slush and puddles, which actually made it a great opportunity to test out Everlane's new rain boots. To ensure these boots can handle rain and muddy conditions, Everlane put them through rigorous water testing. With the slushy sidewalks and Read More
Winter Minimalist Wardrobe: Sweaters
I’ve been slowly paring down my wardrobe the past few years to make the everyday more doable. It's been a process with two pregnancies in there, but I have definitely found my stride. No more overflowing drawers and frustration figuring out what to wear. Less is best in my opinion. And if I can simplify the things within my control, like my wardrobe or kitchen, then I have more mental bandwidth to handle the daily chaos of life. When it comes to a minimalist wardrobe for winter (at least Read More

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TryNatureBoxBeauty #NatureBoxBeauty #CollectiveBias Over the past couple years, I’ve been really trying to become a product minimalist and focusing on fewer, quality items in all areas of my home from laundry to cleaning products to beauty/personal care products and beyond.

Whole 30, Week 3: What We Ate, What to Expect
On to week 3 of Whole 30! In case you missed it, here is how it went earlier: Week 1 Recap Week 2 Recap This week was a mixed bag. On one hand, I'm definitely getting this whole menu planning thing down. It's taking less time to plan out meals versus week 1 and 2. Here's what our menu looked like for the week: I've been using this book to document everything...really helpful! And lots of great groceries stocked up on too: I tried several new recipes this week and some Read More

Back at it again with another Wantable Edit! Last week, I shared my Wantable Style edit (the Style edit covers everyday and dressy clothes).
