Follow my blog on Bloglovin’ This week I’m in Chicago and staying at the Hotel Versey. It has this really fun decor and is located right by Lincoln Park which is one of my favorite parts of the city. There are tons of super cute restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. It’s about a 3 block …
Special Edition: Album Photo Shoot Part 1
Over the past few months the duo my husband and I have, The Asking, have been hard at work on a new album. It’s been difficult to juggle both the album and The House Blend so I’ve had to post less. That’s frustratingĀ for me because I love working on this blog and creating cool content! …
Denim Roundup
Donning denim is always presents a fun challenge of how to make this timeless staple feel fresh. I’d have to say that I wear denim most days and sometimes it can be easy to get stuck in a rut. Below I’ve rounded up some ways to refresh your denim options – yes, even skinny jeans š
Like all good 90’s trends, the split hem skinny is back this season :). I love this twist on skinny jeans.

I love that ripped denim is here to stay for at least one more season. This pair is even petite!

Bottom photo jeans by Zara. I like to opt for regular sizing when I want a more slouchy look.
These are my go-to skinny jeans. The lighter shade in the photo up top gives a fresh take with the cape and keeps it from feeling formal.
Jeans by 7 For All Mankind.
Coated denim is a great way to get a leather look with the comfort of jeans. I love these because they are comfy and slimming and ultra chic.

Summer is on its way and denim cutoffs have received an update with released hem details. Love this pair from H&M Conscious! Similar here
Wide-leg denim is making a comeback as a trend even though it is also a classic. Here I’m giving it a polished take with the tuxedo blazer but I also love wearing it with big colorful earrings, a boho-inspired blouse, and chunky platforms for a more relaxed and summery vibe.

Cold Weather Valentine
It’s COLD here! Too cold for this LA girl. My one consolation? I can wear this faux fur coat and these red ankle boots. With Valentine’s Day coming up I thought it might be fun to put together an alternative V-Day look. When it’s cold the last thing you want to do is put on …
Festive Fashion
I LOVE black and gold. Definitely my favorite color combo. This blouse and skirt comboĀ are not only great for holiday season festivities but they’re comfy too!

Bow-Ties and Boy Bags
When I chose the name The House Blend for my siteĀ it was forĀ the concept of blending the things I’m passionate about into one blog. I knew I would start with my personal style but I also knew I wanted to incorporate men’s fashion as well. Thankfully my hubby is a total model! Would you believe …
