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

Currently loving this amazing pullover from Edje Activ. They make the cutest tanks and tops for barre class. I could wear this stuff all.the.time. (who am I kidding...I basically do!) I have a couple of their tanks, and I always get compliments at barre class. And use code thestylefiles15 for 15% off your order (and they always have free shipping.)

Links and Loves from the Week
I started training for my 4th half marathon a couple weeks ago…first few long runs have been on the treadmill till the temps are somewhat tolerable. That said, anyone have a good series on Netflix they’d recommend? Speaking of, geeking out over these impressive journal designs runners have come up with. The cutest app for documenting your kiddos. (Wish there was an Android version- does anyone know of a similar one?) Tweets that sum up your life with 3 year olds. Hilarious. How to Read More
Links and Loves from the Week
Wishing I was sitting here in sandals right about now. Missing the view at this hotel… Madison’s roundup of her favorite Beachbody workouts makes me want to expand my horizons beyond the 21 Day Fix and T25. Just watched this documentary on Netflix…very thought provoking. And I found some new bloggers/authors that I’m following as a result, like the gal behind Project 333, Joshua Becker’s book, and minimalist parenting. This year, I don’t plan to do the monthly clothing budgets the way I Read More
Links + Loves From the Week
A personal highlight from our recent vacation: Sunrise spin class overlooking the marina in Coronado, CA…yeah, I could get used to that view! Looking forward to Fran’s new health & wellness feature on her blog…great inspiration! A great style study to recap the clothing you wear each season and learn some key takeaways, I might need to start this! Similarly, loving this 2016 style recap post. Has anyone tried these undies from Thinx? The promotional video is pretty intriguing Read More
Links and Loves (May)
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere! Sharing some links and loves for May with ya... First up, sharing a love that hits close to home. Quite literally. T and I have so enjoyed our time in our first home. But it's time for a new chapter! We found a fantastic house not too far away and we will be moving later this summer. That said, we are putting our home on the market. Praying that it sells quickly, and we can focus on the move...things are about to get a little busy in these parts! It's been a Read More
Where Fashion Meets Function, Baby-Wise
This post was sponsored by CYBEX as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central. Let's face it- in many aspects of our lives, details make the design. Whether choosing the perfect shoe to accessorize your style, or decorating your home working with colors, textures and patterns to make your space feel warm and inviting, details help make every moment our own. Once you have a baby, keeping up with the details needed to maintain our sense of ‘self’ seems increasingly difficult. Read More

It's always fun to get something unexpected in the mail, amiright?! Especially a nice treat for yourself...which is where Wantable comes in.
