Off-Duty Style: How to Wear Nikes

Fashion

I’m in love, I’m in love – and I don’t care who knows it! This pair of Nikes has me feeling all the things (okay that’s a bit dramatic, but surely you understand, right)? My most recent obsession (yes I know, I’m obsessed with everything) are Nike sneakers. I have always loved the look of them, but I didn’t always have a reason to own more than a couple pairs for working out. Now that I can wear more casual looks to work, I love the idea of having more pairs that stay “nice” for casual wear vs. destroying...

Vest Dressed

Fashion•Shopping

When in doubt, put a vest on it. Guys, earlier this week when I finally started to unpack my closet (felt like a slobby slob for a couple days), I came across my vests that I think were hidden in the back of my closet. Of course I sported my new faux fur one last year, but I forgot that I have two denim vests, a cargo vest and two puffer vests. Vests are a great way to add an extra layer, without too much bulk, and to add an extra dimension to make an outfit even more stylish....

Silver Jeans Loft Grand Opening

Lifestyle•Shopping

Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event for the grand opening of the Silver Jeans Loft at the Mall of America. Typically I avoid the MOA at all costs, but this was definitely worth it! I have been a fan of Silver Jeans since I was in high school because I could always find pairs that really fit my curves well. They really have it nailed down at this place for finding the perfect fit! The styles include Tuesday, Aiko and Suki, which are all suited to fit certain body types. Tuesday is straight fit, Aiko...

Heather of Pearls & Paws

Lifestyle

I AM SO EXCITED about today’s Blog Every Day in May because it gave me the perfect opportunity to talk to you about my dear blogger friend Heather from Pearls & Paws. I’m sure many of you already know about her fantastic fashion blog and adorable pup named Rex (seriously the cutest dog in the world) but if you don’t, before reading… check her out NOW 🙂 I discovered her blog fairly shortly after starting mine in November of 2011 and really loved her outfits and quirky, entertaining writing style. She always has a positive attitude in her posts and her personality...

Polka Dot Maxi + Cowl Neck Sweater

Outfits

To me, nothing is more comfortable or stylish than a maxi skirt. You don’t have to worry about length (which for tall girls is always a problem when it comes to dresses, pencil and mini skirts) and they look incredibly chic, but you feel like you are still at home lounging around in your pajamas. I love winterizing  maxi skirts by simply pairing them with a sweater. I always belt a combo like this because the skirt and sweater are looser items, so by adding a belt, I give myself shape. Add some tall socks and a pair of boots and...

It’s the Weekend

Fashion

I wanted to start doing a weekend post just to wrap up the week and share some of the things I’ve been loving but haven’t shared elsewhere during the week, or at least expand on them more, and as a way to share some of the other things I love aside from clothes and shoes (even though today that is pretty much the focus). Probably will vary from week to week, but I promise I will try to make it fun!                                    ...
