For some people Christmas only comes once a year but for me it comes once a season. I love getting my Box of Style in the mail at the beginning of every season! Each item is individually wrapped so it really does feel like a present :). I’ve had mine for a little over a …
Stripes and City Lights
I love a challenge – especially if it’s fashion related. One of the fun things about fashion is sifting through trends and finding ways to incorporate them into your personal style. People often think the way they see a trend on Kendall Jenner is the only way to wear it but that is not so. …
Festive Fashion
I LOVE black and gold. Definitely my favorite color combo. This blouse and skirt combo are not only great for holiday season festivities but they’re comfy too! I love that I can pair the blouse with black velvet pants and the skirt with a velvet top. Are you seeing a theme? I’m really just excited they …
Punk Rock Presence
As a child of the 90’s the recent resurgence of 90’s fashion has me like – really? I now understand on another level what my mom was feeling when I used to go through her trunk of clothes from the 70’s looking for buried treasure. Since we are destined to repeat themes of former fashion …
Basics and Brogues

Pom Poms in the Park
One of my favorite things about fashion is finding opportunities to have fun. These pom pom sandals do exactly that! They are so colorful that they go with a lot of things and are always a conversation piece. I often struggle in the summer because I do a lot of traveling and it’s so hot …

Barcelona – Travel Style Guide
When you’re planning a trip there are a ton of details to figure out, not the least of which is how to pack for both comfort and style. While I am certainly stoked that the athleisure trend seems to be here to stay, I personally prefer something a bit less gym-tastic. Especially seeing as the …
Spring Leather
One of my favorite things about the colder seasons is the need for warmth and leather layers. So when I discovered this blush and black leather jacket I jumped at the chance to wear leather a little longer. We all know spring is tricky because of the warmer days but still chilly nights so we …
