At the beginning of the year I started doing "Capsule Wardrobe" posts for the season. When I decided to take a break I decided to hold off on the capsule posts for a bit-hopefully I will get one up for Fall when the time comes. So while I won't be sharing a Summer Capsule Wardrobe … Continue reading Warm Weather Staples
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
My favorite part of summer is in August when the yellow wildflowers start to pop up along the road and throughout fields. I know they are technically "weeds" but I think they are beautiful.

For me, having a closet full of staples makes it so much easier to get ready in the mornings as almost anything will go … Continue reading 5 Closet Staples You Need

I love the weather, the cozy clothes that accompany the cold and all of the holidays and festivities that take place.I know it … Continue reading Slowing Down: Summer Sweater
When it started to warm up early this spring I told myself one thing I really wanted to get for this summer was a white skirt. Well months went by and I hadn't yet found one yet and then began my "summer without shopping" challenge and I was still without a white skirt, so I … Continue reading White Skirts & Wildflowers
If you open up my closet you will find that the majority of it is blue and white with a very small percentage of colored pieces. I told myself I would start branching out and that lasted for a while. Then as I packed my bags for Chicago I realized that every single item I … Continue reading Summer Red
