When I met Austin 10 years ago, I was in college and working part-time at a beauty salon. I worked there off and on while I was in school and then summers when I was teaching. It was a dream job for someone who loved learning about products and getting to help clients with beauty and haircare. ...
As much as I wish summer was around the corner, we're definitely still in the middle of winter. To spice things up a little bit I recently went searching for sweaters that are anything but basic. I was happily surprised to find quite a few very cute options out there. You might remember this polka dot sweater I wore back in September? Well, unfortunately, there's only a few left, however, I still linked it because I think there is another color option that has a few sizes available. Anyway, you guys seemed to really love that sweater, so I used it as my inspiration when rounding up the sweaters for today's post. ...
One of the most-asked questions I've gotten this winter is my secret for tucking in sweaters. I completely understand the dilemma here.

After years of trying to find the best solution, I'm happy to share five tips below that I think will help! ...

My skin hasn't been the same since finding out I was pregnant. If you've read my skincare posts before, you know I have acne/oily prone skin. Getting that "glow" was never really on my radar since I was using blotting papers by noon. But now, things have changed. My skin is dry and frankly, the weather isn't helping. I'm doing everything I can to get that glow. ...
I'm basically loving all things faux fur. Whether it's sherpa or this pink faux fur coat, I think we can all agree it's having a major moment this season. This mauve color is so playful and I couldn't help but fall in love when I saw Julia wear it earlier this season. It really is a great piece you can dress up or down. I wore this last week with leggings, Golden Goose Sneakers (yes - they are worth every penny but don't miss my post on how to find them discounted) and a white tee. ...
