I'm downright giddy to be back in my summer attire - maxi skirts/dresses and fun shoes! It's just so easy and comfortable.I will admit that my shoe collection has gotten a tad out of control lately. I'm too ashamed to show you guys a picture of the floor of my closet that has shoes all over the place!It may be a mess in there, but dang the shoes … [Read more...]

Stitch Fix Box #6 arrived while I was in Chicago so it was fun to have it waiting when I got home!  It had been awhile since I received my last box - Box #5 was right before the holidays and I had only kept one dress from that shipment and waited awhile to try the next one. {By the way, if you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, you can visit my … [Read more...]

One of the best things about spring is the ability to ditch the puffy/heavy winter jacket and trade it in for either no jacket or a light one.  I have a weird jacket obsession.  My husband's always asking why I have to have so many in the closet and I do admit that I way overbuy on jackets.  And for the winter... maybe he's justified in his … [Read more...]

It was only a year ago that I discovered Madewell.  My friend Jen and I had gone into their store one day at the mall and I've been shopping there and loving their clothing line every since. As of this month, Madewell clothes are also now available at Nordstrom!  So great.  I love the style of Madewell clothes - everything's very relaxed and … [Read more...]

One of the warmer days this week, my boys wanted to go for a hike.  We had one on a bike, one on foot and a couple of neighbors and we did a little loop around the neighborhood.  It was SO NICE to get the fresh air but it's still really muddy and slushy out.  On top of that, I signed one of my kids up for spring soccer and I know the fields are … [Read more...]

Here's a nice little diddy from the Weather Channel about our weather tonight into tomorrow here in Philadelphia. Fun times, right? On top of the unbearable cold, I am home with one kid sick. Other than heading to the bus stop, I really can't say that I'm very compelled to leave the house. Rather than dreaming of Florida and our trip last week, … [Read more...]

We've been seeing the bucket bag style purse emerge more lately.  For last week's Fashion Friday, I posted about my new J. Jill Bucket Bag and I am loving using it! What's not to love about the relaxed look with added functionality. Continuing last week's theme, I went to do a search for today's Fashion Friday and to collect a few more picks … [Read more...]

I've been wanting to get a bucket style purse for awhile now. I just love the relaxed look and the bucket bag is super trendy right now. So I was thrilled to be able to check out this new product from J. Jill:  the Bucket Bag ($149). I just adore everything about it - the slouched, relaxed look and the fact that it doesn't look all that big but … [Read more...]

For the last 8 years, I've pretty much been wearing the same gym uniform.  Cropped capri active pants from Athleta, mostly sports bras from Athleta and always layered with an Old Navy fitted tank top.  I'm at the gym 5 days a week so you can find me in these clothes often! {by the way - I still wear and love my Urban Halo headbands} Lately … [Read more...]

I love that mid-January starting to be considered sale territory on winter clothes - you know what that means, right?  They are making the way for spring clothes and spring is a'comin!  Okay I know it's still a bit of a stretch that spring is around the corner but the sales on some of these coats definitely make it seem like spring looks are … [Read more...]
