this weekend was amazing. i took a nap. I can’t tell you the last time i did that. it wasn’t intentional it just happened as i was putting otto down for his at the cottage. we both just slowly drifted off to sleep only to wake four hours later realizing that it was 5pm and […]

anthropologie outfit details sweater: anthropolgie (size M)  shorts: ag boyfriend (size 31) sold out similar here shoes: tory burch old but similar here and bargain version here.   we are spending a few days alone in napa this week and it honestly feels like just yesterday we were here. our first trip was about 7 […]

the last time that anthropologie had an extra 50% off weekend sale i’m pretty sure that it was six years ago on black friday. is it bad that i remember what i bought at that sale? a pink coat with white lines and a pendleton wool coat among other things. today while i was sitting […]

i saw a meme the other day that summed up michigan perfectly at the moment. it was along the lines that early spring is 80% fall and winter, 10% spring and 10% summer pending the time of day. that leaves me feeling uninspired and confused in how to dress and i am in need of […]

i am pretty much a sale shopper through and through. when i buy something at full price it has to be multifunctional and something that i could see holding up real estate in my closet for a long time. i am a big believer in cost per ware. it’s how i justify most of my […]

if it has tulle, bows, ruffles or sequins i’m in. you know how much i absolutely dressing like a toddler girls dream. last night joe had a work dinner, otto fell asleep at seven and while i was supposed to be folding laundry i deep dived sequin skirts at nordstrom.com. a note about sequin dresses, […]

i just received the email yesterday that one of my favorite children’s clothing stores is closing their doors. it might not be permanent as they are “looking for a buyer” (according to their Instagram) but right now everything in the store is an additional 30% off. i scored some amazing last hurrah! clothing pieces for […]

i’m just going to throw this out there, wrap dresses are tricky for anyone who might possibly be considered the least bit..busty. wrap dresses both accentuate and flatter all at the same time. i’m not the type to wear a “women tell all” kind of leopard dress so i like to mix it up a […]

when i was in high school i was a bit…extra. i think that is what the kids these days would call it. I remember valentines day my sophomore year of high school being highly influenced by legally blonde and clueless. on valentines day i wore a red and pink houndstooth pencil skirt from forever 21, […]

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 […]

i am coming off a major closet cleaning rampage from the last month and only kept items that fit/ i truly loved. like this cozy sweater by free people or my plaid shirt.. aka anything by free people. there is something about fridays that just make me want to cozy up and snuggle in especially […]

i woke up this morning kind of ho hum. the elections are over, there is frost on the ground, i have rotting pumpkins on my porch and a baby who somehow didn’t make it to his crib last night sleeping next to me. it’s birthday thirty two today and as i laid in bed i […]
