I was sitting on the couch scrolling through instagram after Otto had gone to bed and Joe and I were watching Cheers reruns when I came across this IG add for the sequin duster at anthropologie. Very rarely do I click and purchase without a coupon code but this duster.. this was epic and I […]

Is it just me or do our birthdays seem to come quicker the older we get? today i am the big thirty three and i actually had to double check because I could have sworn I was just 32, or was it 23? Regardless time flies by so fast and I remember when it was […]

Everyone has that friend. That friend that always knows what is up and coming, the secret sales and the newest IG style accounts to follow. The friend that when you are in a store debating about which size or style to get will always give it to you straight and tell you which one you […]

I would never consider myself a “snake skin boots girl” but when I saw these python print boots on the cover of the October Anthropologie catalog I had to have them. I told myself, I will make these work. I think my issue with snake skin was always that it seemed very masculine to me. […]

I swear I didn’t intentionally dress Otto and I in coordinating get ups but here we are, mother in son both in coordinating fall outfits. Joe was a good sport about busting out the camera on our fall fest morning. I have been waiting to wear this pumpkin T-shirt that I picked up from a […]

You are going to have to go with me on a pleated pants journey for a moment. Way back when Midnight in Paris came out (the woody allen film not the paris hilton porno) Nina Arianda who plays carol wore these amazing high waisted brown pleated pants when they toured Versailles in the movie. And […]

I thought that we were entering fall in Michigan but currently we are getting a full spectrum of weather within a 24 hour period. The mornings start cold and warm up into the 80s before dipping back down into the 50’s. Welcome to Michigan I guess? When I leave for the day I always wear […]

the other day i met my friend ashley and we took a stroll through this massive sunflower field near my home in west Michigan. it is seriously acres and acres of fresh blooms and the owner allows people to come and enjoy them and sells the sunflower 2/$1. that is what i just love about […]

i’m pretty sure that i have an irrational fear of wasting a good outfit on an insignificant day. i bought this buffalo check plaid maxi skirt at the start of summer thinking i would hold on to it until the perfect occasion arose. i don’t think there is a better opportunity for a ball gown […]

Greenhouse jumpsuit click here (on sale!)  since the gal meets glam collection launched last year i have become a huge fan of both the fit and quality. even though i have to size up almost two sizes from my “normal size” i constantly have to figure out what my normal size is. don’t you wish […]

I can’t let a good coupon go to waste. Even though I would hardly call 15% off a “good coupon” but Sephora rarely has sales and i’ll take what I can get. This year I’ve been really trying to focus in on skin care. I was using whatever product I thought had pretty packaging and […]

I have worked in a business casual type setting my entire career. Some are more formal than others in fact the job I had to wear suits at… lasted 9 months. But it was more than just the suit let’s be honest. I was in government affairs which I quickly realized I had not business […]
