    shoes I brought on vacation

    One of the hardest things when it comes to packing is what shoes to bring. You want to look stylish, be comfortable and have something that goes with all your outfits. At the same time, they can be heavy and take up a ton of room. If you’ve already seen my carry on packing video,…

    why it’s better to be thinking fall

    I know, I know. After our less than stellar summer the last thing you want to think about now that the sun is shining is fall trends. That’s okay – I’m wearing the heck out of all my shorts, dresses and bikinis too! However, it is the right time to start planning for the season…

  • wearing oversized clothing

    wearing oversized clothing

    Even during the most body confident day, I would rather be wearing something loose and comfortable than fitted. While being 5 foot 10 inches certainly helps me pull off baggier pieces, it doesn’t make me immune to looking dumpy in oversized clothing.

             One of the most adorable and easy looks of summer is rocking a coord set. Usually they are made up of a crop and skirt/shorts, the two pieces matching perfectly together and showing just enough skin to cut the sweetness.
