I just love the different textures and combinations of materials that the fall offers. As I start to layer up, I pay attention to the different textiles in each of my outfits. I especially love combinations like leather and suede, or leather and a chunky knit. The smoothness of the leather really highlights whatever material…
I thought I’d take a little break from my outfit/shopping posts, to talk a little about my skincare routine. As we all know, our skin is one of our best accessories, and it’s so important to take good care of it. Admittedly, I haven’t always treated my skin the way I should have, and I’m…
I was inspired to write this post today, after a shopping mission to find a new pair of jeans. I was open to a few different styles: flares, skinnies, straight or even a relaxed fit, but they MUST be high waisted. No matter how cute the jeans may be, if they’re not high waisted (or a generous…
I’m going to start posting every so often about particular brands that I’m loving, because I want you guys to know what I’m currently hunting for. I go through these phases where I’m super obsessed with a brand for a while, building my outfits around key pieces I’ve found. I eventually move onto to something…
I’m a huge advocate of any piece of clothing that takes an outfit from boring to chic. Since a fair amount of my closet is made up of basics and solid colors, I rely heavily on fun additions to my outfits. This could mean adding a funky necklace, a hat, a scarf, or a top…
I’m so happy to be able to throw on a pair of overalls and not feel like I’m sporting Osh Kosh dungarees circa 1995.

I feel a great sense of satisfaction in owning quality leather goods. Just a note: I don’t mean to upset anyone who may be vegan or is ethically opposed to the use of animal products, however this is one material that I can’t deny loving. Quality leather lasts a lifetime. It’s the only material I know…
Well, the weather has officially changed here in Connecticut. My early morning walks with Kit have gotten much chillier, and I’m forced to keep adding layers. I really enjoy fall styling, though, so I’m looking forward to putting together some layered looks for the blog. There’s just so much more room to play around with…
It may be Monday, but I’m still dreaming about the weekend. Today I’ve got a 12 hour work day, so I’m trying to think about happier times. I recently took on a part-time job on top of my day job, working nights Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The weekends are really the only time I have…
Now that the final week of the LF sale is coming to a close, I figured I would recap some of the items that I picked up! As I mentioned in an earlier post, LF has these crazy sales twice a year that last about a month or so. Price points are lowered pretty much…
