This Spring I’m sharing more capsule wardrobes starting here with the Sezane Spring Capsule Wardrobe, using 12 pieces to create 48 outfits! You may have a lot of these staples in your closet already, but if you don’t this guide will help you figure out what you need. While a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to come all from the same brand, I love setting the stage with just one. Designers, creative directors, and the like create collections that tell a story. And give a great deal of focus to making each collection they launch cohesive. So the story, colors, prints,…
Regarding style, luxury, for me, is directly aligned with comfort. With a wide (-ish) foot and a high instep, finding shoes whose style I love but are also comfortable has been an upward battle. And now, three pairs in, Freda Salvador has become a mainstay in my shoe wardrobe. So far I’ve tried the Jada Handwoven Ballet Flat in silver and black, the Elba Penny Loafer in black spazzolato and the Sera Fisherman Sandal in stucco suede. So, my takeaways will come from these three styles. I plan on updating this post as I add more! Before we move on,…
If there’s one thing I do a lot of, it is cooking. Even before the throws of baby-led weaning, cooking has always been therapeutic for me. It helped me save money; I don’t think there was ever a job I had where I didn’t make and bring my lunch. Meals bring people together and remind me of places, people, and life events.

I’m not sure where to begin. This May will be the tenth anniversary of my blog. For years I shared my goals, life changes, and bits that motivated me with you. In 2020 content creation became my full-time job. And with that, a lot of self-reflection, self-worth struggles, and questions about my overall ‘brand’ came up. The personal pulse of my blog ended up getting a bit neglected as my inner dialogue tried to decide what and how much I wanted to share. So it seems it’s time for a bit of a life update on here! While my website…
Quilted jackets are timeless and one of the best grab-and-go items in your closet. They’re like a warm hug on a cool spring day. Or a pleasant layer in the late fall when the temperature starts to drop. If you want to be a master of transitional dressing a quilted jacket is exactly what your wardrobe needs. If you’re doing the online hunt on your own, quilted jackets have a few different names. Known as liners or shells, they may also be referred to as coats. I’ve also seen padded parkas, car coats even insulation jackets. What they all have…
When it comes to the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him I always get a bit stumped. If you do too, you’ll leave here with a few ideas! I sought out gifts they could use for years to come. These are perfect for that guy who loves a specific activity (like golf, cooking fishing, etc.) but has enough items in that category. Or the man in your life that tinkers in a bit of everything. Shop Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him 1. Honeycomb Knit Chuck Sweater Comes in four additional colors, this merino wool knit is a ‘nicer’ sweater for…
