    grown up sweatshirt 

          I love a good crew neck sweatshirt, and finally found a (slightly) more grown up version in this dress. It’s the perfect thing to throw on for a busy day of last-minute Xmas shopping. Super comfy and low-key but elevated with the twist detail at the front. Bare legs are perfect for surviving…

    the easiest bun  

             I must confess, I always struggle to execute the make-up and hair looks I love. Fashion has always come easy to me, but hair and beauty not so much! I’m very uncoordinated at styling my locks or putting on liquid eyeliner, so I mostly stick to the basics unless I have a…

    being on trend

                     I sometimes struggle with trends. I love fashion, but I don’t want to be a slave to it. Usually when something new is booming in popularity, I try to avoid it for long enough gauge my actual feelings. I would rather be fashionably late to the party than rush in…

    how to shine this holiday season

       ‘Tis the season for all things sparkly and shiny to reign supreme! Every year around this time the stores seem full of sequins, shimmer and all things luxurious. Some people aren’t into it, but I find it fun to play around with when I have the chance. In the past few years (no surprise…

    how to keep warm without losing your style

    One of the main struggles fashion conscious individuals have during winter is choosing weather appropriate styles that aren’t a buzz kill for your look. Even with a milder winter on the west coast, I still fall into outfit ruts this time of year when everything needs to be worn with a jacket. Here are my…

    comfort and style

                    Two of the most important things while I’m getting dressed. Although I love some looks that aren’t the most wearer friendly, I don’t often opt for putting something on I don’t feel good in. That’s why you see me on here in a lot of sneakers, booties and oversized everything. The…

    the cold shoulder 

             I have quite the collection of oversized or thick sweaters which I love to wear, but can’t fit comfortably under jackets. That’s a must for this time of year, when even a warm knit is not good enough on its own to stand up to the temperatures we’ve been having. Lucky for…

    wardrobe staples

                     Sometimes it can be hard to tell if an item will be more than just a one-hit-wonder when shopping. I can think I’ve fallen in love with something and snap out of it just as quickly. Not an ideal situation to get the most for your money. I have learned this…

    how to get the best deals this holiday season

    The holidays are almost here! Christmas music, red cups, parkas and of course, the start of the most major shopping time of the year have begun. For me, December is always bittersweet. Working in retail is busy (which I love) but it is also the most hectic and high stakes time of the year. Huge…

    recycle

                 I’ve always been one of those people who falls into a bit of a fashion cycle. Or maybe a recycle? I get into a routine of wearing the same things for a few days, especially when I don’t have work or many plans. Usually these outfits are comfy, simple and fairly…
