I have never been one to agree that "beauty is pain". Sure, I have spent my fair share of time wearing tall heels or tolerating a bit of discomfort in a pair of shoes, but I don't sacrifice my own comfort or dignity for a pair of shoes or new trendy item. The older I … Continue reading Choosing Comfort
If you were to look inside my closet you would probably notice that it is most filled with neutrals, basic pieces and lots of stripes. I used to think that basic pieces meant boring and that in order to wear something fun it needed to be new, trendy or bold. But lets be honest, that … Continue reading Wardrobe Basic: Layering Turtleneck
My closet is mostly filled with basics and staple pieces year round and even more so in the fall and winter. When dressing for cold weather I prefer to be stocked with versatile and basic pieces to layers rather than trendy pieces I will only wear once or twice a season if I'm lucky. One … Continue reading Winter Staple: The Classic Black Coat
While I love dressing for colder months, after a while it can get boring wearing the same thick sweaters everyday covered by a large coat. Bundling up can often leave me feeling less than put together. So instead of my usual bundled up outfits this winter I have been trying to layer in different ways … Continue reading Two Layered Looks
Every holiday season I seem to acquire another festive plaid shirt (or two), but I always feel like I don't get to wear it enough without styling it the same way over and over for the very short lived holiday season.

When we first made these plans it was supposed to be 70 degrees out which seemed like the perfect fall day for apple picking. As the weekend grew closer the forecast changed to 90 … Continue reading Picking Out Our Fall Decor
Cooler temps are among us and I am so excited! We have had more rainy days lately which I always look forward to. Any excuse to break out a coat or my rain boots and I am thrilled!I held off as long as I could on posting anything too "fall" as I didn't want to … Continue reading Trench Weather
It's no secret that fall has been on my mind since mid-July. I hate to admit that and I feel guilty that I started to look forward to fall so soon rather than just enjoy what is left of summer. Now with September finally here I am both excited for cooler temps, but also anxious to … Continue reading The Year Round Dress

We were anxious for a weekend free of distraction, housework and errands and knew time at the lake would be a great way to enjoy these last few summer days. We got in just after … Continue reading Dinner on The Dock
