I can NOT believe it’s already that time of year again! Dare I even say the F word (F*ll). It seems way too soon, so I won’t! However I am already getting excited for that season change, and every year it’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that first gets me thinking of that cooler weather rolling in, and all of the fun fashion that comes along with it. So I did a poll on IG stories and it looks like about 40% of you said you would be shopping the sale, so this post is for you! To keep it simple and straight forward, I have broken into a few categories below. Things I plan on purchasing from this year’s sale, things I bought, still love and plan to wear again this season from the sale last year, and last but not least a couple pet things for Archie!

There’s just something about pretty pastels that gets me every time. They’re colorful and bold yet refined in femininity and delicate in detail. To me, pastels are one of the easiest ways to start dressing in colors if you are afraid of or shy away from big, bold, bright colors in your wardrobe. Try it for an instant mood lift with a side of chic sophistication. Who wouldn’t want to feel like that every day they got dressed? Hence, I love a good pastel. So today I’ve rounded up a bunch of my favorite pastel pieces…

Don’t you just love it when you revisit something you once loved and just wonder why did I ever stop loving that, doing that, using that, or wearing that? My re-discovery for a fashion brand I started wearing right out of college, and again now as a 33 year old woman is what has provoked that feeling in me and hence today’s blog topic. It’s fun falling in love with something all over again isn’t it…

Up-leveling your outfit this Spring or Summer is easy. Just add a headband! It can give your simple look that extra something that will be receiving compliments all day long. Luckily for you, there are so many cute ones out right now in all different price ranges and I’m going to share some of my favorite ones here…

I love a pretty straw bag, especially during Spring and Summer when out and about daily as well as when packing for a tropical vacation. They’re versatile enough to be styled for both occasions and can really make a statement which is why I believe every woman needs a beautiful straw bag (at least 1!) in her wardrobe. Each year I always end up finding a couple that I just simply can’t resist and the collection grows. You don’t have to break the bank to add some straw bags to your closet though…

Who doesn’t love a good dress with comfortable sneakers? Lately to me dresses with sneakers are like Oreos with Milk or Wine and Cheese! Maybe you are unsure of how to style a dress with sneakers though and what dress style is appropriate to wear with sneakers. Today I’m going to share with you how to pull this relaxed yet polished look off, with three examples of dresses with sneakers! By the way, each dress I’m sharing today is $60 or less and you can style them with any simple pair of white sneakers like…

I know with this crazy Winter weather the south has been getting right now, is making us all crave Spring just a little bit more. And while spring is definitely ahead, we still have several more weeks to a month of Winter to get through depending on where you live! So I thought it would be fun today to share 4 creative ways you can easily start dressing for Spring when it’s still cold outside. I’ve been adapting these little tactics into my daily wardrobe at home and it’s…

2020 was quite a year to remember. And for some not so good things, but also some good things. Reflecting back on the year it’s incredible to see how much has changed, and how companies adapted their products to fit the needs of our new realities. With people spending more time cooking, baking, working, exercising and everything else from home now more than ever, you’ll see my top 15 most loved and used products of the year reflect the essence of that lifestyle. The silver lining of the year for me was finding clarity in what truly makes me happy and getting to spend more time with the ones I love. Let’s dive in…

Wow, where to even begin. 2020 has certainly been a doozie. As I read last year’s update I realize how much I had planned, and it humbled me remembering how much we are not in control here and only God really knows what the future has in store. That being said, I still think it’s important and valuable to set goals, make plans, have hope, and remain…

A few weeks back when I did a poll on my Instagram stories, most of y’all said that you wanted to see gift guides because they are helpful and this was the most requested gift guide- Gifts under $50. So rather than bombard you with tons of gift guides, I’m serving you up exactly…

There is something so timeless and elegant about pearls. Personally I love incorporating them into my wardrobe but in modern ways. Like on my sweater, in my headband, or with some fun earrings. I even have a pair of boots that have pearls on the heels that I wear time and time again. That’s the great thing about…

The infamous Cardigan. One can never have too many. The popularity of this classic Autumn layering piece skyrocketed even more this year with the debut of Taylor Swift’s song “Cardigan”. So yeah, this basic Fall piece already has a song named after it and you need at least a few good ones in your closet this season. It’s the perfect layering piece to throw off and on during cool mornings and sunny afternoons or to just cozy up around the house in on a chilly Autumn day. So today I am sharing 7 different styles of Cardigans that every woman should have in her closet for the Fall and Winter season…

Styling a scarf should be simple and fun, not overwhelming and confusing! I love cute, cozy scarfs this time in the season as a layering piece adding extra warmth and style to an outfit. What I don’t love is struggling to get the scarf on easily and it messing up my hair in the process. Anyone else? That’s why today I want to share with you the secret to styling a scarf with this adorable under $20 scarf I recently scooped up from…

Now that it’s officially Sweater weather season in North Carolina, I am doing all the things! You know? All the things you have to do when the crisp Autumn air rolls in and the scent of cinnamon and sight of pumpkins surround you everywhere you go. All my Fall lovers know its so much more than sipping that pumpkin spice latte. It’s the festivities, the fashion, the decorating and everything that goes along with that first sip that gets us so excited. So when the leaves start to change and the cool air rushes in, there are certain “must do’s” each season and I’m sharing one of those here with you today. My NC locals and visitors will…

If there’s one thing the year 2020 has taught us, it’s that change is inevitable and nothing is promised. So I’m embracing the change, and in this moment it’s the change of season as today marks the first official day of Fall. Autumn is upon us y’all and there’s nothing like crisp Autumn air and a new season to fall into a fresh start (pun intended). Maybe it’s a fresh wardrobe or maybe it’s a fresh attitude. Whatever it is for you, to me it just feels good…

This Peanut Butter Pumpkin Bread recipe really is melt in your mouth good. It’s ooey-gooey delicious and always a friends and family favorite! I learned this recipe from my mom (as I have with most things I am able to make), and it has been great for holiday gifts for your hair stylist, lash lady, and would be a great house warming gift to new neighbors in the Fall season. Most of all though, with Thanksgiving around the corner…
