How to Wear Culottes with Everything

Do you have any trendy pieces hanging out in your closet that you swore up and down that you would never buy… until you did and you absolutely loved it? Yeah, for me that’s culottes. It started with this culotte jumpsuit, then I found this one, and finally, I found this pair of culottes. I don’t know why it was harder for me to embrace this trend. Maybe it was that I didn’t have an idea of how to…

Burberry Makeup Tutorial + Giveaway

As much as I love a good bargain, when it comes to beauty products sometimes a girl’s gotta splurge. One of the brands that I think is totally luxurious and most definitely worth the splurge has got to be Burberry Beauty.

5 Ways to Cope with Moving Stress

I feel like all that I’ve had to talk about recently is moving. I moved several times every year through college, but I never realized how much different it is to move as a settled adult. Let’s just say it was way more work than I ever expected, plus all of the complications that came with trying to prepare a home for sale. Basically, it felt like everything was going wrong and when you’re…

My Favorite Way to Style a Romper

It’s no secret (well, I don’t think it is anyway) that one of my favorite pieces to live in all summer long is a romper. Besides the bathroom issue, they’re cute, comfortable, and come in a wide variety of styles. I’ve heard from a lot of people that they don’t think they can pull off a romper. To that, I say you can’t pull it off if you never try it on! ;) Really, though, once you find a romper…

Stitch Fix July 2016

A Burberry Beauty Tea Party + Giveaway

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to co-host a tea party at the Four Seasons Seattle in Seattle with Burberry Beauty and Fresh Skincare.

I might as well tell you now what’s been going on. We’ve been moving. Early…

Iced Coffee + Ice Breakers

Disclosure: Starbucks kindly provided iced coffee + items from their summer collection to me, but all opinions about their yummy iced coffee are my own! If you know anything about Seattle, then you probably know that we love our coffee. We love it a lot, in fact. So much so, that many mornings the first words out of my mouth have to do with begging for coffee. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but I…

5 Ways to Grow Your Blogging Community

There were many reasons I started blogging: I wanted to share my opinions about products I was trying, outfits I was loving, and adventures in being a first-time dog owner. I also wanted to meet other like-minded women and men who shared my passion and interests. However, since blogging takes place online, I thought it would always be from a distance. What I didn’t realize, and what I’m so happy…

Vacation Ready DIY Pedicure

This post has been sponsored by Amopé. All thoughts and opinions are my own, of course! Vacations are beyond exciting. You look forward to them for days, months, sometimes even years. But of course, like any good procrastinator (if there’s such a thing), I always wait until the last minute to get my prep on. When a warm-weather vacation is impending, it requires a bit of extra work, like prepping…
