So many repeats this month! This may be because they are so good, or because I find myself wearing the same thing every weekend...or both. Next month will be for sure a mixture of summer styles and fall as we head to a tropical fall break and then back to cold Tennessee.

It's that time of year again! Better known as my Christmas in July, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started this month for cardholders and the general public. Let me first say that you do not need to buy anything! Every year I feel {...}

How long have you been searching for that unicorn shoe? You know, the one that is sexy enough for date nights, classic enough for work, but comfortable enough to wear for any other occasion. I feel a little bit like Cinderella saying this, but I have worn enough heels in my life to say that 3 inches is perfect for work, and [...]

There are a few returning shoe trends from last season and a couple of new ones. But regardless of the trend, you don't have to break the bank buying them all. My rule of thumb is to spend money on the styles that will last more than a few seasons, and save on the styles that are more trendy. For this post, I rounded up my favorite spring and summer shoe trends in two categories: save and splurge. You can make your own judgement {...}

If you have been following me for a while then you know my love for unique details and feminine style runs deep. Just like some people are with dresses with pockets, show me a top with a bow detail, an all neutral outfit for winter, or a tulle skirt that may be a little too much for the [...]

When the weather dips below 30, it is hard to convince yourself to wear anything but leggings and a sweatshirt. Well, at least for that is the case for me. And while leggings will always be a trend, there are a couple of other essential pieces you can add to your winter wardrobe that will keep you warm but also bump up the style factor.

If you are like me, then you stocked up on the leggings and matching lounge sets this time two years ago when our idea of an outing was a walk around the neighborhood. Now that we are back to work, I needed to find ways to style these pieces for more than just couch surfing. Check out these styles for ideas of how to take your leggings to work or {...}

My motto has always been "if you look good, you feel good", and workout gear is no exception. However, while I can get away with a pair of shoes being slightly too big, poor fitting workout gear can ruin a workout. There's nothing worse than leggings that fall down during your run, shoes that give you blisters, or tops that are not supportive.

There have been some perks of 2021, including some of mine and your favorite purchases and trips from this year. Each year, I cover the Best of in categories from books and podcasts to my favorite clothing purchases and looks. Here is the list for 2021!

Thanksgiving week is officially here! If you're like us, you have friendsgiving, family dinners, family lunches, and even our own celebration at the house. The menus will all be the same, but I need different outfits for different events! Check out this post for 4 [...]

Before we get started, a shacket is a combination between a shirt and a jacket. The most popular style is plaid with a wool blend material, but more recently, corduroy has become super popular. You can find them almost anywhere, but if you buy one from Amazon [...]

While cardigans and chunky sweaters will never go out of style, there are a few more fall trends that you can also feel safe adding to your wardrobe this year. If you are like me and have yet to commit to a capsule wardrobe, these [...]

Anyone else buy all of the white dresses and tops this summer and now trying to figure out how to wear them? Guilty! I stocked up on white dresses this past season and loved every minute of it, but I don't want to pack them away just yet.

If you have been on the hunt for workwear that can easily transition from day to night, but also keep you cool and dry throughout the day, then look no further. As embarrassing as it is, I have always gravitated toward darker or {...}

All of your most loved products from July are now live on the blog! There are a couple of repeats but also some new items as well. I even added some additional links for comparable items. Make sure to check out the great transition pieces for fall!

Amazon strikes again! Lately, I have found myself swipping up on so many Amazon products. In the last few months I have bought everything from bandeau bras to different styles of hangers. And now with school back in session, my food purchases are going to pick up again as well.

Shopping for swimwear can be a challenge. Do you want cheeky or not cheeky? A two-piece or a one-piece? Can you mix and match or do you have to buy them together? What if you need one size for the top and one size for the bottom? So many questions! Even if you can answer those, add in the never-ending search results in Amazon and you can get lost in all of the selections.

Finding workwear that is functional is a tough job, but finding workwear that is fashionable may be even harder. I work in education so I am constantly chasing kids around, meeting with parents, and running to after-school meetings and {...}

The wedges and open-toe sandals will always be a classic, but this summer, we are seeing more variety when it comes to style, heel height, and colors. As a woman on the go, I am personally excited about the lower block heel trend and {...}

A website where you can buy laundry detergent and a cute dress, all with two-day shipping?! Yes, please. I know we are all Amazon fans, but sometimes sorting through everything can be a little daunting. With Prime Day right around the corner{...}

With so many boutiques these days, it is hard to find one with an authentic owner, wearable clothing for everyday life, and one that is all about supporting women. So naturally, when Karina reached out from Bella Style Btq, I was thrilled to start working with her.
