Ever wonder just how to make those ankle booties work in an outfit? Today on the blog, I have several looks I put together featuring a versatile (and practical) shoe: ankle boots. They are great for colder temps as a fall/winter staple. Also, sharing a couple recent jewelry additions to my collection! I got my booties from Shopbop my booties from Shopbop (which are currently on sale for under $100!), and now is the perfect time to invest in some if you are looking to add them to your Read More
Save vs. Splurge // Quilted Vest
18 I’m a sucker for a good quilted vest. It’s a staple in my wardrobe (and many others that live in the Midwest, I’m guessing.) A plain, classic quilted vest goes well with just about everything, but a fun pattern like plaid is always a festive touch. For solids: I found one nearly identical to the $120 J.Crew version. It’s from Sam’s Club and it’s under $25. I own it in cream (styled here) and it also comes in navy, red and black. It’s made of real down too. For prints/plaids: J.Crew Read More

Mom Style, Vol. 15: White Denim
Vest: J. Crew Factory {similar} Button-Up: J. Crew Factory {exact} Jeans: Old Navy {exact, comes in several rises and cuts} Flats: Lucky via Macy's {exact} Bag: Nordstrom {exact} I'll admit it.

And with a toddler in tow, I thought that was even more the case. And for that reason, I never reached for them in Read More

Packers and Puffer Vests
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Ours was jammed packed with lots of fun stuff (which was my goal before I go back to my first full week of work tomorrow after a super long holiday vacation. Wa waaaa.) On Friday night, Tyler and I went to see This is 40 with a Groupon I had. It was really funny but a little on the long side. I was hoping that Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl would make an appearance, but no such luck. Still pretty hilarious in my opinion! Saturday started out as a lazy Read More
