What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess…

HINDSIGHT IN 2020

Hello, old friends. It’s a new year; it’s a new decade; and there’s oh so much I want to tell you. I kicked off 2019 declaring my word of the year- a word to use as a guiding factor in my personal…

YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at…

SHORT & SWEET: CINNAMON SUGAR WALNUT QUICK BREAD

Fall is in full swing and if you need me, I’ll be filling my belly with any and everything that tastes like the season. Call me #BASIC, but if it has apple or cinnamon or pumpkin (or any combination of the three) I want, ahem NEED, it in my life. And though I want nothing more than to spend my days holed up in my kitchen cooking and baking things for the folks I love (more on that here), reality reminds me that I have a job and a husband and a social life and I need to go…

Welcome to WEAR THEY ARE: A Snapshot of Fearless Females and How They Got There- a series where all of these concepts come to life through the stories of women who’ve embraced them firsthand.Given all that is happening in the world around us as of late, it is with utmost certainty I declare that I cannot fathom existing in a world where women don’t band together to build each other up.

ON THE SPOT: SHOP YOUR CLOSET

Despite the fact that it’s been unseasonably warm the past few weeks (not joking- the temperature as I’m writing this is 83 degrees. What up, October!), I’m elbow deep in the process of transitioning my wardrobe for fall. What is it about a new season that makes us all yearn for a fresh start? And while I am all for picking up new pieces as the weather changes, truth be told, I’m a bigger believer in “shopping your closet,” i.e. taking a good, hard look at what you already own from last season and finding…

5 WAYS TO BEAT THE PANTS OFF WORKING FROM HOME

WORKING FROM HOME.Three magic words that make me think “YAY! Now I can go a whole day without changing into real pants.” And I’m not alone. According to the New York Times, 43% of employed Americans in 2016 spent some time working out of their house. In fact, it’s become the norm. Flexible scheduling and work-remotely opportunities play a huge role in whether or not we decide to keep a job, and the numbers don’t lie. Nearly 30 million Americans find solace in a home office at least once a week. And I am definitely…

BE A GOOD SPORT

In keeping with the spirit of making memories through fashion, let’s flash back for a minute.It was 1998 and I was just about to start Junior High School- aka the first fashion phase in life I look back on with a gigantic cringe (shout out to the Delia*s for the killer wardrobe ideas! NOT). I was dealing with all of the usual nerves that tend to present themselves when navigating a pretty big life transition, but more than anything I felt excited. Excited for a bigger school, new friends, and the freedom to begin defining the soon…

SO LONG, SWEET SUMMER

You know how Moms are always bestowing little bite-size nuggets of wisdom on you, even when you’re not asking for it? Drink water. Wash your face before bed. Wear clean underwear when you leave the house in case something happens to you. Use vinegar to clean glass- it’s the only thing that doesn’t streak. Always have $20 in your pocket. My Mom is the ring leader of this movement. Truly. And there’s a good reason for it. She’s always right. (In my family, we call that Mommy Magic.)As I navigate wear I am…
