Turtleneck Time
It’s that time of year. It looks warm in these photos, but it’s really not. It’s December in Indiana, which means yesterday people mowed their yards and tomorrow it’s going to snow. Yep, it’s time to break out my stash of tasteful turtlenecks! And boy does it feel good! I am very serious about my… Continue reading Turtleneck Time
Matchy-Matchy
I love to match. That’s no surprise to anyone who knows me. It makes me so happy (probably too happy) when my clothes or shoes or accessories match. I’ve become a fan of online shopping. It’s so convenient (and time-wasting) that I find myself doing it often. I’ve been looking for a matching top and… Continue reading Matchy-Matchy

Apparently I have been looking at too many old photos because I’m dreaming in black and white.

Watches: A Must-Have Fashion Accessory
Guys, I have a confession. I’m often…late. Or if it’s a good morning, running exactly on time. Most people set their clocks fast to ensure they get ready on time—right? Well not this girl.

Simple September Fashion and Makeup
My dog’s eating fallen golden delicious apples. My mom rolls up the bottom cuffs of her jeans. My dad pulls pumpkins from the garden, already orange. My brother’s rocking flannel (but then again, he does this year-round.) I sit my camera down momentarily and slip my hands into my hoodie pocket. I inhale and exhale… Continue reading Simple September Fashion and Makeup
Summer Staples
The Indiana summer humidity is full-on strong. For me, that means the heat drains my energy, and that I will rely even heavier on my summer staple items when it comes to picking an outfit for the day. My first summer staple is a crossbody purse. I am absolutely a purse girl. I love crossbody… Continue reading Summer Staples
It’s Not Summer without a Straw Hat
It was love at first sight when I saw this hat at Kohl’s. Okay, that’s a weird verb choice. It was like. It was like at first sight when I saw this hat at Kohl’s.
