You’ve probably heard it said that the accessories are what make an outfit. With the right accessories you can make jeans red-carpet-ready or a floor length dress laid-back enough for a picnic. I personally find it much more interesting to mix it up like that. Pairing unexpected items makes an outfit creative and cool. Here …
There’s nothing quite like a fun outfit that takes it up a notch, but isn’t overly dressy. That’s why I love this outfit: it’s got interest, it’s fun, comfortable, and not too dressy. The piece that goes with every outfit is my EDC (Everyday Carry) Tablet Bag. Secret: I don’t usually have a tablet …
This week has been rough. Scratch that, this month has been rough. I don’t know if it’s the cold or lack of sun or the general doldrums that is waiting for spring but I have been struggling. I’m not normally one for wallowing but I have found myself in need of a mindset makeover. More …
When it finally starts to get warm here I relish the chance to pull out my espadrilles and suede styles. These are my top picks for their fresh looks for the spring season. Each of these pairs incorporates a trend while still being very versatile. The mule trend is going strong and I love these …
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 😉
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!

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.

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.

As you know by now, I’m a big fan of unexpected combinations in outfits. I’m always looking for a way to put a twist on the usual take on an outfit. Here I loved the idea of trying to wear this sequined dress for an everyday look. The over-the-knee suede flat boots made it feel …
Last week I talked about shopping local at Grace Boutique in Old Town. Since the boutique is known for its selection of dresses I decided to feature one that caught my eye. I’m not normally drawn to dresses but I had fun adding my own flair with this leather jacket. Unexpected elements are always more …
I have to say this outfit is making me happy right now! It’s made up of some of my favorite layering pieces this season. The vest I’ve been wearing on repeat with outfits like this one or with some over-the-knee suede boots and a big scarf. The beanie is so warm and cosy that I …
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I talked in an earlier post about my love for velvet and the ways it’s being worn right now. It’s a fresh take to see it in casual settings so here I’ve paired it with denim. Cuffing the denim makes it more casual and keeps the velvet from being too …
My favorite neutral color is navy. It’s actually my favorite color period but I love that it can act as a neutral. I think many of us were taught not to mix neutrals – like if you wear a brown belt you wear brown shoes. This is actually not the case as neutrals are just …
