I loved Gina’s ode to the Jumper from the other day, so I decided to do my own take on this new spring/summer staple. Jumpers are probably the most comfortable item of clothing ever created. Since I wasn’t sure if I could pull one off, I bought this simple black jumper from Forever 21 to…

It’s not quite full-blown summer here in Tucson, but with 90 degrees in this week’s forecast I figured I’d share one of my favorite staples for warmer weather – cutoffs. They are simple, and CHEAP. This tutorial is very easy and requires zero sewing. First, you need to find jeans to transform. The best place to…

I can confidently say I’ve worn sneakers every day this past week. The Skyscapes pretty much haven’t left my feet, and they’ve been the perfect “moving” shoe: super comfy, light and match pretty much everything. I like the fact that I can dress them down (wayyyy down in jean shorts and a too-old-but-I’m-never-letting-go-of-this-one U of…

Last year, my “fancy sweatpants” was the maxi skirt. This year: the jumpsuit. I’m one in, and already obsessed. (Tory Burch sandals/ long necklace from the madre) I ordered this fun printed jumpsuit on Shopbop a couple of months ago, and wasn’t quite sure I’d be able to pull it off. When it arrived, it…

The last two weeks have been JAM PACKED with moving, cleaning, rearranging, and adjusting. We are officially moved into our new place. There are still boxes stacked up in our guest room but we are definitely feeling settled. I am absolutely loving our new space! It’s much more updated than our last home and it…

Usually when I receive a Stitch Fix (<–affiliate link) box, two things happen: 1) I dance around with the box and while singing a beloved show tune (ok, so I just get reaallllyyyy excited) and 2) I usually know right away what I’m going to keep and what I’m going to send back. This is the…

When I graduated from high school…um…a few years ago, my big sister Ashley took me to New York City as a graduation present. It was SO much fun and I definitely fell in love with the busy streets and massive buildings. Ever since that trip, I’ve been dying to return. Well, Kyle and I will…

My friend Sasha has this huge, floppy hat that she’d wear while teaching pool classes. The hat was totally gorgeous, and we’d all say she looked like a movie star. I once told her she looked like a tropical sun goddess. 🙂 When I taught pool classes, they weren’t my most appealing moments. I would…

I hope you don’t mind a different Weekend Wears format this week! I have found myself simply swamped the last couple of weeks and haven’t had the chance to lug out the ol’ DSLR (fancy camera) for some decent pictures. To make a long story short, Kyle has been working crazy excessive restaurant hours, we…

Oh Stitch Fix Fridays, you make the weekend even more exciting 🙂     Even though I’ve been getting Fixes for about a year and a half, I still get boxes every now and again that aren’t really “me.” I didn’t love my last box, but left feedback in the comments (they really do read the…

Alternate title: “I like sparkly things” 😉 A good Valentine’s day theme, eh? I look forward to the gem show ALL YEAR. They have a smaller one in the fall, but the biggest and best one not-so-coincidentally falls right before Valentine’s day.  So what is it? The gem show is a wholesale jewelry convention for…

Do you ever have those days where you look in your closet and just absolutely hate everything you have? Please say yes so I don’t feel like such a freak. Lately I have been in a bit of a fashion funk. Every so often this happens to me and it usually means I’m outgrowing the…
