At the beginning of last year, I was on the hunt for new bedding. Fiona had ripped my Pottery Barn duvet that was on our bed after one too many bleached-added washes. The material had become brittle and it was easy as a simple scratch to get comfortable from our dog that did it in. I saw Quince bedding all over the internet so I decided to try it due to the affordability and the look. It closely matched the style of my current bedding. After 11 months of use, including weekly washes, this is my honest Quince bedding review…
While trying to strike a balance between statement and comfort, I came across the capsule wardrobe. This type of purchasing guided me to hunt for items with the most versatility.

Living in the Northeast come Winter I am constantly combating the cold, wet, snowy weather. Top it off with a bit of seasonal depression lending my coat-purchasing habits to get a bit out of control.

When it comes to eveningwear the keywords I look for are mesh, embellished, metallic, and sheer. In simplifying my closet I’ve honed in on versatility. So when it comes to holiday wear, it has to be something I’d grab on NYE and for a night out. While sourcing these pieces I always ask myself, could I wear this with jeans or flats? While the answer will not always be yes, for a majority of the items it should be. Am I always going to grab a crystal embellished headband to wear with jeans and a tee? No, but I do…
I file my (limited) tie-dye pieces in my closet under classics. They’re my go to for a warm day in the summer and a pick-me-up in a gloomy April storm. There was a long period where I gravitated toward statement pieces and for the handful I still love, I’m happy I did. This Polo button-down (circa 2019) is one of my all-time favorites. It’s one of those things I don’t think I’ll ever part with. If you’re new here, I consistently share capsule wardrobe guides, so you may be wondering where tie-dye fits in. One of my favorite brands to…
