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? Because a third piece helps them look more put together and knowledge about fashion. Crazy right?! This idea is particularly easy to follow in fall and winter when layers are key to Read More
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
Wantable Fitness Edit Review // January 2019
Back at it again with another Wantable Edit! Last week, I shared my Wantable Style edit (the Style edit covers everyday and dressy clothes).

You can choose between Style or Fitness, and for $20, you get an Edit of 7 curated pieces from your personal stylist, delivered Read More

Everlane Sweater and Denim Review
Remember when I blogged about my outfits and personal style? Yeah, me too. So today, I'm going back to where the blog began with a good 'ol outfit post! YES! So post baby #2 almost 6 months ago (crazy!), I’ve been doing a bit of a closet refresh, really focusing on my personal style and keeping only select items that fit well, are in the colors I wear most, and work for my lifestyle. I love the idea of a more minimal wardrobe full of things you love – and less money spent on clothing too. (If Read More
