This dress is not your grandma’s moo moo–not even your mother’s. I had to quickly run into Forever 41–op, I did it again, I mean Forever 21, for a return. While I was quickly choosing something to exchange, I pulled out this dress. Kevin was like, No way! But I just kind of knew itContinue reading Not Your Grandma’s Moo Moo
White Sundress with Cowboy Boots
A white sundress is a summer necessity. A white sundress paired with cowboy boots is a stylistic take on vacationing in Idaho. Actually one of the new stores that has cropped up in Spirit Lake is a vintage cowboy boot shop–I must go take a look. During the summer though, out at Spirit Lake, I’llContinue reading White Sundress with Cowboy Boots
Summer Candids: A Week in Seattle
The summer is well underway, so before too much time elapses, I felt I should post the summer candids from our week in Seattle at the start of the summer.

Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Zucchini and Walnuts
Every summer there’s something that is repeatedly put on the table; this summer that dish is quinoa salad with zucchini and walnuts.

It’sContinue reading Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Zucchini and Walnuts
DIY Ostrich Feather Bag
I finally realized it’d have to be a DIY Ostrich bag. If there’s one thing you might be realizing about me, it’s that I’m very persistent. And, if it has to do with getting a stylistic idea in my closet, I’m doubly persistent. This has been the case with Shana’s, of The Mom Edit, awesomeContinue reading DIY Ostrich Feather Bag
Madewell Jeans: The Flea Market Flares
Madewell jeans are a sure winner. It’s been ages, I mean ages since I bought a new pair of jeans. I think it was 2009 in an H&M in Paris when I bought three pairs of jeans and haven’t invested since. Now, though, my query is over thanks to my sister. She has these MadewellContinue reading Madewell Jeans: The Flea Market Flares

Jumpsuit Monday: The Lounger
My Jumpsuit Monday series is coming to an end with this last Monday of June, but that by no means I won’t be sporting the this trend for the rest of the summer or even ever for that matter.

Style Story: Denim All Week
Denim all week was worn all this week which made sense since it was a super casual week in Seattle. My friend Sheela from Sheela Writes prompted a no denim all last week via a challenge from The Man Repeller. Then, at the same exact time we said to each other, “Hey! Let’s wear denimContinue reading Style Story: Denim All Week

A romper is a funny word. Somewhere along the fashion terminology timeline, the jumpsuit was paired with shorts rather than pant legs became known as a romper. And yes, the romper is basically the perfect summer shorts jumpsuit. I’ve had this one for a while. Because of the red, white, and blue colors I don’tContinue reading Jumpsuit Monday: The Romper
