Three Mom Life Outfits with Everlane

January 19, 2021

Over the last five+ years of being a mom, my style has evolved quite a bit. Gone are the days of being dressed for the office every day. Now my work-from-home life meets stay-at-home mom life requires what I wear to be both comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. I still love getting myself put together for the day, even if that means a day of working at home, running errands and playing outside. I put together three practical yet stylish outfits featuring some tried and true Read More

Everlane Faves

Let's be honest. These days, I feel like all I wear is workout gear.

They are at a variety of price points, have passed the workout test to be comfortable & functional and passed the wash test time and time again!1. Athleta Oxygen Tank Read More

July 6, 2020

Layering is what makes outfits interesting and multi-dimensional, and that proves difficult when it’s toasty outside.  So today, I've partnered with Everlane to show you two options that work for warmer weather and transition from daytime to date night! From comfy cotton dresses to light, drapey and wrinkle-resistant jumpsuits, Read More

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats.
