Investing in Versatile Fall Pieces

Stripe Topshop Pants Street styleBeing someone who is a little on the short side I always thought I couldn’t wear wide leg pants. Don’t get me wrong, I was definitely rocking my flared jeans in high school but I mean those really voluminous, flowy, wide legged pants. After playing with a few different pairs I started to realize it really comes down to how you style them. You can to do what works for your body and above all, what feels most comfortable. So while some taller women may be able to put these on with some cute little slides I feel they work best with my frame with a little bit of a heel. Doesn’t mean you won’t catch me running around in these, a comfy t-shirt and sneakers, but I also think they will pair really well with scrappy heels and an off the shoulder top. read more

Over the past year or so I have been lucky enough to travel more than I ever thought possible – especially with having been pregnant and then having had a new baby at home! When we went to London last summer while I was pregnant I remember thinking I probably wouldn’t make it back to Europe until he was a few years old – and then I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Germany just this summer! That just goes to show you that the power of positive thinking, hard work, and saying ‘yes’ to new opportunities that come your way can open up so many doors. read more

A Little Feminine // A Little Edgy

I am usually not a huge florals person but I absolutely adore this dress. I like the combination of the super feminine fit with the edgy mesh overlay. It kind of makes the dress a little more edgy for those of us who normally wouldn’t wear a full on floral dress!

I often like to combine super feminine and girlie looks with more edgy pieces. A great way to do this is to throw a leather jacket over a cute little blush dress, or pair black booties with a flowy top!

How do you guys like to combine styles in your daily outfits?

Cozy at Home with Capri Blue

Home Decor with Candles on mantel

I think it’s pretty impossible to forget the time when I discovered the ‘Volcano’ scented candle by Capri Blue. It was a few years back I was shopping for some gifts at Anthropologie when I picked up a big blue jar that housed the MOST amazing scented candle ever – the ‘volcano’ candle is what is came to be known in our house. I am sure a lot of you know the scent I am talking about – that citrusy and sugary almost tropical scent. So good. After that I’ve become a huge fan of all the scents by Capri Blue – they are all so unique and I am kinda obsessed with the jars they come in too. I’ve been saving them after I finish up a candle and it becomes the perfect container to store cotton balls or makeup brushes in the bathroom – especially the mercury ones shown in my pictures here.
