My last post was part one of our photo shoot for The Asking’s new album. My hubby and I have a duo called The Asking and we’re releasing a new album! If you missed Part 1 of the photo shoot, be sure to check it out! For the second look for our album photo shoot …
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! …
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 š
Like all good 90’s trends, the split hem skinny is back this season :). I love this twist on skinny jeans.

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.

We’ve all been going stir crazy waiting for winter to end so even though it may still be cold outside, we can always brighten our makeup in anticipation for the changing season. Much like swapping winter coats for lighter jackets, opting for bold lips and dewy skin is an important part of prepping for spring. …
My favorite time of every season is receiving the new Box of Style. I love how it helps freshen up my wardrobe with new items and new brands! This box has many products that helped women in developing countries by including brands that support and provide creative and economic opportunities for women in India and …
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 …
