The Look for Less: Rockstud Flats

The Look for Less: Rockstud Flats

I love a good pair of shoes. Austin gave me my first pair of Valentino Rockstuds 4 years ago for a birthday present and they are still my favorite shoe. Since then, I've purchased another pair of white flats and they have been a pair that I wear frequently. I'm much more of a "flats" girl now, but the heels still hold a special place in my heart! After posting the Valentino's over the years, I've had several emails, comments and messages asking if I knew of any "similar styles" at a more budget friendly price. Up until now, I honestly didn't. While there have been several versions of "studded flats", I've never found one that was so similar. A few weeks ago a sweet reader (hi, Melissa!) emailed me about these Rocktsud Flats. I was immediately taken back by how similar they were to the real deal. So much, that I decided to order a pair for myself and give them a little test run. Since this is a request I get so often, I figured you all might want in on this amazing find as well! ...

Instagram Lately No. 15

Instagram Lately No. 15

Happy Monday! We are back from Vegas and slowly getting in the swing of things over here. What a fun weekend it was! Though I didn't win the jackpot, I would say that seeing Celine Dion was my winning moment. You guys. She is the most talented person I've ever seen. Being at her concert instantly took me back to my childhood. It was like being in my mom's car all over again! Highly recommend seeing her if you are a Celine fan. In other news, I've been getting a few requests to do a new Instagram Roundup. I normally do about one a month and it's been a while since I've shared new instagram photos. As always feel free to comment or email if you have any questions about sizing + fit.  ...

How to Fight Dry Skin During the Winter

How to Fight Dry Skin During the Winter

This post is created in paid-for partnership with QVC. Just like our wardrobe shifts for each season, so should our skincare. Though I don't make drastic changes, I do like to introduce a new product to my daily routine with a bit more hydration for winter dry skin. One that has been a recent find, is the  Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Cloud Cream. Being a happy customer of Peter Thomas Roth and QVC (the Max Correction Pads are my go-to and I'm recently hooked on these eye patches), it was no surprise how much I like this lightweight cream. ...

Bell Sleeves Under $50

Bell Sleeves Under $50

Bell Sleeves might be one of my favorite trends at the moment. They make quite the statement and I am digging the fun, free spirit vibe they give. After posting this photo to Twitter last week, I was surprised to see how many of you also are loving bell sleeve tops. You all know I am more of a "classics" kind of gal and don't like to spend a whole lot when it comes to trendy tops and sweaters. I know many of you are the same way, so I wanted to share my favorite Bell Sleeve Tops all under $50 (a few are under $30).   ...

5 Pieces To Get You Through Winter

5 Pieces To Get You Through Winter

While cold weather accessories are fun to buy, I am so ready for warmer weather. Anyone else? Though, I'm slowly transitioning my closet & blog content to focus on Spring, I'm still very much needing to layer on some of my coziest pieces. My outfit here was inspired by the items I have worn the most this season. We all have those core pieces we find ourselves wearing more than others. These have been it for me! In my opinion, all you need is a few staples as a base for your wardrobe. ...

How to Have the Best Disneyland Experience

How to Have the Best Disneyland Experience

Growing up in Southern California had it's perks. Beautiful weather, family nearby and of course my good ol' pal,  Mickey Mouse. If you've followed my blog for a while, you know we visit California quite often. I travel to LA for work occasionally or we will schedule trips to visit family. You may remember that my mom was also a school teacher for several years. When I was young, I remember her students in California would all pitch-in to get her season passes to Disneyland. (Was that one heck of a room mom or what?) With Disney practically in our backyard, it was easy for us to visit frequently. ...

Not Your Basic Sweater

Not Your Basic Sweater

While we all have our fair share of "basic" sweaters hanging in our closets, it's the unique ones that get the most attention. I admit I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to my outfits. And though I dabble into the trends (ahem, my leopard coat) I tend to stick with more classic pieces on a regular basis. ...
