Chambray + Floral Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I never thought I would be able to wear sequins to work until I found this cardigan at Nordstrom Rack. It completely changed my mind and I have been wearing it to the office ever since. With a chambray top, floral trousers and coral heels, I felt like a lot of my personality was shining through at work. Also, I apologize for wearing these floral pants over and over again, they are just SO comfortable. Hope you had a great weekend and happy Monday!

Leopard Print Skirt

Fashion•Outfits

Leopard print and I haven’t always been friends. In fact, when I first fell in love with fashion my senior year of high school, I was very ANTI animal print, especially leopard and snakeskin (which are now my favorites). It wasn’t until I studied abroad and met one of my very best friends Kaitlin, who was obsessed with any and all things animal print, that I gave it a chance. I think I came home with more animal print than anything else. How could I resist when I saw so many stylish Londoners pulling it off flawlessly? So now, enter...

Fringed Floral Kimono

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend I had a ton of fun back in Iowa with my family! Saturday my mom, little sister and I went to get pedicures and then went thrift store shopping at the local Goodwill. I love shopping at Goodwill in Iowa because there isn’t as much competition (aka not as crazily crowded) as in the Twin Cities. I wore this floral fringed cardigan and white shorts combo for the day, and borrowed some of my mom’s jewelry (the second best part about being home – the first being with my family of course). Thank you to my...

Summer Maxi Dress

Outfits

Let’s ignore the frizzy hair and focus on how gorgeous this dress is… seriously though does someone have any blonde summer hair care tricks? My hair has been frizzy ever since the humidity started taking over Minnesota! Anyway, this is another one of my picks from 10DollarMall.com and can you believe it was only $10?! I have been cleaning out my closet like crazy since last year and one thing I’ve identified that is missing from my closet is simple, colorful summer dresses. Well I’m so glad to add this to my collection, a gorgeous green and blue tye-dye...

Spring Colors at Work

Fashion•Outfits

Here is my second outfit with 10DollarMall.com! You can see my first one from last week here. I called this spring colors because two of my co-workers mentioned I looked very “springy” in this outfit, and I couldn’t agree more! One of the main reasons I love 10DollarMall.com and their new site just for women, Moddeals.com (everything is still under $10!!!!!), is that I can purchase things for work and for fun/the weekend. This cardigan is such a gorgeous color and I love the beading detail. This skirt is absolutely amazing, SO SO SO comfortable. I can not overemphasize how comfortable...

Spring Office Style

Outfits

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing an outfit with pieces from 10DollarMall.com. I love the idea of mixing up my typical work wear (pencil skirts and blouses) with bold patterns and bright colors! I am SO excited to be working with 10DollarMall again! Last year, I shared this, this and this outfit from 10DollarMall.com. I loved my pieces so much that I have been purchasing my own pieces, which I’ve styled here and here. What I absolutely love about 10DollarMall is that nothing is over $10 (hence the name)! It reminds me of F21 or Charlotte Russe, or for those of you who are local,...

Leopard Print Scarf

Outfits

I wore this outfit to run errands this weekend because frankly I’m sick of looking like a hot mess out and about (aka orange sweatpants that are too short on me, greasy hair and a mismatching t-shirt). It was a simple fix —I put on comfy black leggings, a cute leopard print scarf and a blue blazer from Oasap to look more polished. And for my feet? My new comfortable pair of JustFab cognac boots. And there, the result is much better! So much so that when I was leaving the apartment to run errands my boyfriend asked, “going out...

Chunky

Outfits

Today I am teaming up with Amy from Coffee Beans and Bobby Pins! Be sure to check out her post here! I am in love with this shoe trend because chunky heels, whether or not I like to admit it, are much easier to stand in. Granted, these heels are pretty tall, but still fairly easy to walk in surprisingly. There are tons of ways to style chunky heels, but when I saw this pin on Pinterest I knew I had to recreate it and that it would be the perfect look with my Jeffrey Campbell snakeskin print heels....

Animal Print

Fashion•Outfits•Shopping

I adore this leopard print skirt, it is so comfy and perfect for the summer.  I have thought about finding a pencil skirt in reptile or leopard print, but how fun is this hi-low skirt? I know it isn’t as trendy as it was last year and I know a lot of people aren’t fans of this trend in general, but I like this skirt because it is a subtle high-lo style, not above my knees and then all the way to my feet in the back.  Add an adorable peach bow-tie blouse and belt and I was set. This is...

Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, Hello friends! It’s been awhile again (surprise, surprise) I’ve been around... been creeping around here 😂 but haven’t posted in forever!

So hello hello! I know the world is still in a crazy state - and I haven’t lost sight of that. But like many people, I’m trying to take it all one day at a time and find joy in the small things. Aside from that, things have been busy!...

* I started a new job in November! I’m excited to be back at a software company and looking forward to the day I get to meet some of my co-workers in person! 💻💃🏼
* My husband and I celebrated 3 years in October 👰🏼‍♀️... we were able to celebrate with a nice home-cooked dinner (by the hubby of course 😏☺️) and a bottle of wine from the winery he proposed at @ridgevineyards
* I have been enjoying being more present in the moment and spending less time on my phone. As much as I miss this community... the additional time I’ve gotten with my husband and dog won’t last forever, so I’ve decided to savor it ❤️❤️❤️

And this is one of the only pictures I’ve taken this year 😂 I actually did my hair and makeup for Thanksgiving (ya know to hang out with my husband and dog), and even though my curls only lasted two seconds, I look happy and I was happy and I am happy (as happy as I think anyone can be in the middle of a pandemic). So wanted to say hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ and hope you’re taking care! 🤗
I love you and I love fall. Still love looking bac I love you and I love fall. Still love looking back at our engagement photos 😍 #throwback #engagementphotos #youaremyeverything
#Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat a #Ad Having battled oily skin for years, the heat and humidity that comes along with summer makes it even tougher to battle breakouts. It's also a struggle to find the right moisturizer that keeps my skin healthy, balanced and glowing all while reducing irritation.

It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our w It’s been awhile and A LOT has happened in our world since I last posted to my feed. There is a lot I want to say and I will be posting a lot more soon, but first & foremost...

Black Lives Matter.

I wish I had posted about this in my feed sooner, but I honestly didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I spent way too long overthinking it versus just doing it. I know that’s not an excuse, and I know I have to do better. I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting and educating myself as well as finding ways to help and be proactive. I am committing myself to do more and do better. I know it’s not enough and I’m not sure it will ever be enough... but I will never stop trying. 

The most important thing I learned is that my silence in the past was unacceptable and a huge part of the problem. I thought not knowing what to say and worrying about saying the wrong thing meant it was ok to be silent. It WAS NOT and IS NOT ok.

I have so much more to learn and to do, but one thing is for sure... I will no longer be silent. I will continue to keep the anti-racism resources link in my bio - as it has been a great resource for me and know it has been for many others. Again, I’m not excusing myself for not posting in my feed sooner but I will continue to share and hope to keep the momentum going 🖤 Black Lives Matter 🖤
Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through anot Hey friends! How are you?! We made it through another *very unusual* & crazy/scary week. I hope you are staying safe & well!
.
Yesterday we took Emma @emmaminiaussie to the vet for her annual vet check up. It was her first appointment at a new vet since our move, and we had to let her go in alone. My anxiety has been off the charts lately, as I’m sure it has been for many of you, and heightened even more by this. Emma is truly our child, our daughter, and I am always anxious wanting to ensure she’s happy and doing well.
.
Sitting outside in the car waiting for the call from our new vet was difficult, but I’m so happy to report her health at almost 8 years old is wonderful! She’s thriving and it makes my heart so happy. Another great reminder during these times to be thankful for what matters most - your health and your loved ones’ health (including your fur babies 🐶). So with another long caption today just wishing health and safety to all of you right now! And another thank you to essential workers on the frontlines ❤️🙏🏻 #emmatheminiaussie #loveconquersall #stayhealthy
Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I ha Hello Instagram family… it’s been awhile. I have not posted in my feed since February… and so this is going to be a long one since life as we know it has completely changed over the past month. 
I decided I needed a mental break from Instagram - not all social media - just Instagram. I have been unmotivated to post on this particular platform and was constantly posting old photos/photoshoots just to have something to post. So I took a break to refresh. 
Well, as you know, things started to escalate pretty quickly with COVID-19. I was just about ready to start posting again and BOOM. Just like that, everything in our world changed. It didn’t feel right to post my latest outfit at that moment… 
Things are still escalating, but I’m back here today because I’m longing for connection more than ever and because I want to say THANK you to so many people. 
Things are scary right now. They are uncertain and unfathomable. We are all trying to adapt to a new normal. I don’t have much to add to what others have been saying, but I do want to say I’m thinking of and praying for everyone, especially those directly affected by the pandemic. 
I also want to say thank you to everyone putting their lives at risk to help our country and our world during this time. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to healthcare workers, delivery drivers, grocery store workers, pharmacy/drugstore workers, app-based gig workers out in the field, restaurants who are feeding healthcare workers and feeding children lunches, teachers going above and beyond, to those helping get their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors and others who are vulnerable the essentials they need to get through this. You are all HEROES and I can never express enough gratitude for what you are doing. 
I don’t have much else to say, but I hope to continue to connect with you all again on this platform. THANK YOU to everyone who is putting an effort into making a difference during this pandemic. Staying home means so much right now if you are able to! We will get through this together if we work together. Stay safe, stay well, and be kind ❤️ #stayhome #besafe #thankyou
