Let me just start this post by saying I love a good kick pant, especially paired with Vans. I really love a good kick pant when it’s MARNI and a super score from GW!!!! If you’re familiar with the brand MARNI you know these trousers go for $1,000 and up on their website. You might get lucky and score a pair for half price but NEVER for $20 like I did! Anyway, these pants were the…

TGIF!! The freakin weekend is finally here guys and I’m serving up the hottest faux leather skirt I own, perfect for date night!! I found this little number at H&M a few weeks ago and knew instantly it belonged in my fall wardrobe. Because the skirt is pretty edgy, I wanted to soften the look a little by pairing it with a thin, turtle neck sweater. Anyone who knows me knows, that the chances of…

It’s that time of year, guys! When we’re all pulling out those comy sweaters to keep us warm, if not during the day then on those chilly, fall nights. Today I’m sharing a few of my favorite knits for this cooler season and as always, comfortablitly plays a huge part in my selection. Take a look below to cozy up your fall wardrobe. Enjoy!

This skirt is so nice I styled it twice! Which is the main reason I love buying matching separates! The possibilities are endless and allows you to style each piece in several different ways. A couple weeks ago this skirt was perfect for a casual day of running around, paired with a tee and high-top converse (you can see more on that look here). And then on this day it was perfect with the…

Fabletics, Black on Black.

Hey guys, hey! First thing’s first, it’s OCTOBER and I couldn’t be more excited! Today I’ll be putting all my Halloween decorations up and getting ready for a super busy month of out of town visitors, blogger events, and local fashion shows. The next three months are literally my favorite of all year!

The second thing is HELLO Fabletics, how have I lived without you?! Some of you may have…

Oh, hey there, sweater weather, I see you! Though this week has flown by I’ve definitely enjoyed the cooler, cloudy days we’ve experienced this week making the change in season understandably feel like fall.

I love, love cozy, oversized knits and I love this one from Billabong so much so that I have it in yellow as well! Keeping it casual and pairing it with a graphic tee and the classics,…

Fall is here and I couldn’t be more excited!! When moving to SoCal I wondered what the cooler months would offer that would compare to those same months in MO. Don’t get me wrong, I hated the Missouri winters, other than snowfall in December, any months after that was complete torture for me! Here in San Diego the weather is still fairly warm, obviously compared to MO and I’m totally cool with…

I didn’t plan on featuring Jaxon in this blog post but I got the hint when he made it clear he was photo shoot worthy by striking a pose when the opportunity came! Jaxon’s real name is Action Jaxon Thorpe, but typically goes by Jaxon, Jackie, or in the most endearing scenarios Sweetie Petey ❤

We saved Jaxon from a rescue shelter a little over 7 years ago when he was only 2 years old. He was the…

One of the many perks to moving to Southern California was having the ability to visit so many beautiful places within just a couple hours drive. On any given weekend Reece and I might decide to drive up the coast, stay in a cute little beach town or drive out to the desert for a romantic getaway. Having a chic, durable weekend bag is a must as we are always on the go! MAHI Leather is…

Hey guys! How’s the Labor Day recovery going for everyone? I’m still a tad sunburned but finally feeling a little better today! My husband and I had a very nonproductive Labor Day weekend which mostly consisted of laying around watching OZARK on Netflix  when indoors (sooooo good btw) and also laying on the beach enjoying a couple margaritas, hence the sunburn lol But the weekend was…

Comfortability for me these days is top of my list, especially during the day when running errands, etc … and these pants from Quicksilver DO NOT disappoint! High waisted and pleated in the mid section allows tons of room and comfiness! I absolutely love that they’re cropped and obviously pockets makes any outfit a million times better 🙂  Pairing them with a cropped tee worked well for me on this…

Billabong + Levi’s.

Summer’s almost over and while it seems as though my feed is already starting to fill up with sweater posts, I’m going to hold onto summer a little bit longer and share with you guys one of my favorite summer outfits from our stay in Waikiki Beach, HI.

The Levi’s are totally vintage, once owned and worn by my mama but the top’s from Billabong and I’m super in love with it! The bag is…

Decorating With Thrift Store Finds.

  Before …

And now the afters …

What can I say, I’m a hardcore thrifter. I love, love, love finding a steal and when I can incorporate my findings into my decor or wardrobe, well, that’s a win win for me! We live in a four bedroom house with two bedrooms to spare and I’m so fortunate enough to have one room as my closet/office and the other as a guest room. This guest room has sucked…

Cropped Wide Leg Pants.

Happy Hump Day, guys! This won’t be a super long post but I wanted to jump on here real quick and share a styling tip regarding these ADORABLE trousers! So basically, at 5’3″, I’m kind of a shorty. And most times I find it difficult to find jeans, especially cropped jeans to fit me, as were the case with these high-waisted, denim pants. My solution? 5 inch chunky heels!! No seriously, it…

I know it’s Monday and you assume it’s going to suck, but according to statistics, there will be 5,000 weddings, 10,000 child births, and 42 million hugs occurring today. Also, today there will be at least 4 people who win multimillion dollar lotteries, 600 people will get promotions at work, and 3,000 people will lose their virginity. There will also be 600 dogs adopted, 35,000 balloons…

Today feels sad. Not one, but two … in one week. The heaviness that lingers in the knowing and unknowing of what one is going through, their minds in their darkest moments is now front and center and can no longer be ignored.  People of success can be tortured too and if any lesson is learned from the passings of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain and many others, is that depression does…
