ok i’ve actually been a lot better after christmas sales shopping than i was pre christmas shopping. but i must say the deals are insane. i bought a few things from free people and that is it (so far). but there are a few things i’m tempted to get because i have some christmas money…
Lifestyle
joyful and triumphant
what a day friends what a day! i feel like now we can sit back and relax and really enjoy yet another holiday at HOME. whenever we leave an appointment with otto a song or poem or verse always comes to my head and just joyful and triumphant was just clear as day in my…
j.crew and tory burch fit guides
earlier this season i cleaned out my closet and got rid of everything that was damaged/torn or didn’t fit. i donated, consigned and cleaned out what just didn’t work for me anymore and tried to focus on what i needed and could be worn with multiple outfits and occasions. i have been striking gold lately…
winter hair survival with SmartStyle
we are home recovering from our first major cold of the “cold and flu season”. guys, sick kids are the pits. we quarantined ourselves home for the most part until otto makes a full recovery. i can’t tell you the last time we all had a good night sleep. needless to say…we are tired. also…

working gal satchel
it’s no secret that i have a few plates spinning all at once at any given time. whether i’m flying around for my big girl job, shop, website, oh and kid stuff, it seems the more i run around the fuller my bag becomes. everything in it would just be crushed, crumpled and damaged. not…

holiday red jacket
i am a firm believer that if you live in a place that hits zero at least 2 times in a year you are allowed to purchase as many jackets as you see fit. i change and adapt the rationale quite frequently to conveniently fit my need to buy something. like this holiday red jacket….
fancy velvet skirt
ok so i think i officially own every single piece of velvet from j.crews new fall collection. i bought this skirt and top set and then the ice blue version and the velvet leopard wrap dress. there is something just so luxurious about the fabric it just makes you feel special. like 1920’s glam on…
a few hours in New York City
