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
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 Minimalism Style: Cut-Out Sweater for Spring
So evidently, I brought back some of that California weather back to Chicago. The day I flew home from some work travel, it was literally the same temperature at home as it was on the west coast. In February. WHAT?! And then that same week, we hit highs near 70 degrees! Totally not normal for February, but I took full advantage and put together an outfit for a girls night. And I didn’t even have to wear a coat. *Fist pump!* It was the perfect occasion to Read More
My Minimalism Style: Double the Denim
OUTFIT DETAILS Vest {option} // Shirt {exact} // Jeans {exact} // Boots {option, option, option} // Necklace {exact} Toddlers are messy. Really messy. I legitimately have some form of peanut butter, ketchup or some other remnants of a meal on my clothes in some way, shape or form on the daily. And that’s where the trusty denim comes in… Denim is lovely for a couple reasons: 1) it’s fairly stain resistant and 2) it’s also machine washable, and it gets better with time. Besides being super Read More
Style Swap: Dressing up a chambray shirt with a blazer and statement necklace
Inspiration: Lauren @ Fizz and Frosting I’ve been looking for fun ways to wear my chambray shirt since it hasn’t been getting remixed much since I bought it. For some reason, it seemed too casual to wear on its own at the office, so adding a statement necklace and a blazer really dressed it up. I added some colored denim and boots since it was casual Friday and love how it turned out! Shop the look- Blazer: Target Chambray: J. Crew Factory (polka dot version, dark wash, light Read More
Colored Denim
Ok, I admit it. I caved and jumped on the color denim bandwagon! At first, I had a hard time trying to find color demin that fit properly and wasn't too sure if I could pull off a bright color, but then I found these dark turquoise skinny colored jeans from the Loft Outlet and fell in love! They are quite comfy and add a nice pop of color to the outfit...hopefully I can remix these with tops to create lots of outfits to make them worth it...I think pairing it like this with a chambray shirt Read More
