As promised, I put together a little clothing haul of the items that I purchased from Banana Republic. I mentioned in my last post that both Gap and Banana Republic had pleasantly surprised me with their fall assortment and late summer sale items in the last couple weeks. I found so many great items at…
It’s easy to get into a groove of shopping the same brands over and over, especially if they keep putting out product that appeals to your personal aesthetic. I’m guilty of some serious brand loyalty myself, and it’s apparent in many of my outfit posts. These days, I’m making a concerted effort to vary my…
Well, it’s Thursday, which means we’re one day closer to Friday, and Friday is basically the weekend. In honor of this fine day, I’ve compiled a little round-up of the pieces that I’ve had my eye on this week. The grouping is definitely leaning more toward fall than summer, but I think they’re all great…

It seems that sometime in the last 5 years or so, athletic clothing companies really upped their game. Not only have the clothing, shoes and accessories gotten cuter and more fashion forward, but there are some amazing new tech fabrics being used. The products not only look and fit better but they also work better. Fashion AND function?…
These days, it’s hard for me to deny a good animal print. Though there was a time when I fought it and refused to wear it at all. This was probably the result of seeing one too many poorly executed or gaudy leopard prints. But my love for the classic print has been revived, thanks…
By now you guys know that I love comfy t-shirts. You can find me wearing one about 90% of the time. I have to say that my real obsession is with graphic tees, specifically statement t-shirts. I’m a big fan of words, and the power that they possess when you read them off of someone’s…
The love I felt for this morning’s breakfast was so great that I had to share a photo of it to Instagram. It may not seem like much, but boy was it delicious [and filling!] It included the following: • A generous portion of my homemade banana bread (find the recipe below!) • Cold brew…
