Most mornings, I don't have a ton of time to get ready for the day before I'm taking the kids to school. After my morning workouts, I grab a shower and do a quick "get ready" routine, because I know that if I take a few minutes to get ready for the day and not look like I rolled out of bed, it works wonders for my productivity. Here's my fave 5 items I reach for lately to help me feel put together getting out the door! Hat // Perfect for hiding unruly hair, and the fun cheetah print is a Read More

Spring Outfit Ideas featuring Everlane
With March literally right around the corner, I am always eager to transition my wardrobe into spring. For me, that usually involves floral prints, eyelet design, lighter colors & pops of color wherever I can! (See more of my spring go to's here). I still tend to wear sweaters in March/April since the weather can be a bit unpredictable in Chicago, but realized that all my sweaters are in my go-to colors: neutrals, blacks, gray and ivory. I definitely needed some color, and after a lot of Read More

I'm a huge fan of Everlane because of their high quality, ethically made pieces. And today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite basic staple items that I've been wearing on repeat lately. So let's dive in! Sweater / Pants / Shoes I LOVE their cashmere v-neck sweaters. So warm and soft. And although they are dry clean only, I just use Dryel at home and they are good as new!

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
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
My Minimalist Style: Camel Sweater, Cognac Booties
Sweater, old (great version here) // Jeans (exact) // Booties (exact) // Necklace (made by me!) I have several resolutions for 2017- from fitness & health to financial to style. And style-wise, I am trying to commit to a more minimalist wardrobe. I’ve been paring down my wardrobe (and other areas of our house) and man, is it freeing in a lot of ways. More on that later though. A big part of that process is figuring out what you dress for. So based on my lifestyle, I have three Read More
Save vs. Splurge // Sleeveless Sweater
A sleeveless sweater is something that can be styled over a shirt, which works in cooler weather, or you can wear it on its own when it’s warmer and you want something knit and cozy feeling. Madewell makes a lovely version with a shorter hemline at $78, but good ‘ol Target came to the rescue with a dupe that is under $25. I saw the Target version in the store and the quality looked good to me… Finish off the look with a pair of skinny jeans and a tassel necklace and you’re all set! Read More
