Timeless + Effortless | Classic but Affordable Pieces for Everyday
My Favorite Dress
A ribbed dress that hugs all the right places. Ties in front to camouflage any puffiness in the mid-drift, and is as soft as a baby’s booty..
NYC Outfits | Winter Edition
I know, I know. Spring is right around the corner, so close we can taste it. Literally, the universe is giving us little previews now and then. And as exciting as that may be for basically everyone else that doesn’t live in Arizona, well, I’m happy for you but what that means to us, is that summer is that much closer. Even without all of that though, I’m a winter girl at heart. Layers, coats, jackets, and boots are just my thing. So I don’t miss an opportunity to bring those bad boys out when it’s time. my closet is 97% winter clothes and the average temperature here is like 75 degrees. So that’s where we are.
Current Classic Winter Style
This winter my closet has been more focused on classic pieces that I can wear for years to come. I have pretty much done away with anything fast fashion, and I am adding things to my closet that actually make me happy to look at. I find myself more drawn to quality fabrics that feel nice and look good hanging beside one another.

Holiday Style | Mama + Daughter
I’ve been trying to get a Cyber Monday post up all weekend but Squarespace would not allow me to edit my original blog post! So here were are, a rushed version of the initial (this is the third try, so wish me luck!). I only get one shot to get this blog post right, so I apologize for any errors, as I’m not able to edit it once it goes live!
Lots of questions via Instagram on mine and Nixon’s Holiday wardrobe so I’m adding click-thru links below. Most every item is on a major sale today! Just click on something you like and it’s a link to shop :)
On Brand; notes
A few months ago I talked with a John Hancock adviser about finances. A topic that I literally avoid at all cost. This year has toughened me up a bit and I realized it was time. I’m so happy that I finally did that, because it wasn’t that scary after all. I realized I never truly had education in that area and it was time to do a little organizing.
This inspired something bigger in me, though. I realized that I had been treating other parts of my business and my life like I had been treating my finances. Sure, I would buy nice things here and there, but nothing in my closet felt like me. The rise of fast fashion truly sucked me in. I’m not sure when it happened, but I think it was right after having Nixon and nothing would fit. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on clothes, so I was turning to fast fashion clothing to make me feel better about myself. That landed me here… mountains of clothing that is just not me. Lots of things that just do not spark joy.
Packing for Napa
Napa is one of my favorite places to visit. And depending on what time of year it is, it’s so fun to pack for! I love visiting when the weather is on the warmer side, but not too warm! So, spring and fall end up being the perfect time for me to go. But even in the summer, the nights can be brisk. So I always recommend packing a layer or two. Soft, light and flowy sweaters are perfect for any time of year and can easily be taken off. Even though the weather is cold in the winter, it’s still NAPA and it’s still magical, just remember to pack accordingly.
I’ve put together a little packing guide so that you don’t forget a thing.

5 Favorite Fall Trends
It is finally starting to feel like fall here in Phoenix and I am living for it! I think fall pieces are always so much cuter than summer pieces. There’s just so many more styles and textures to play around with, especially since chillier fall weather means getting to layer and put together a complete outfit for once.

As a new mom, I’m always on the hunt for the best products for me and my little one. The very best products are the ones that I can trust and that can simplify my life. I have definitely found that in my Willow Pump.
4 Style Trends To Keep You Cool
Okay, I know I have lived in Arizona for a few years now and should be used to the extreme temps. But no. They are still rising and because of this, the outfit options aren't great. I can’t layer in the summer or ever throw on any type of cardigan or jacket to complete a look.
Since moving here I have tried so many things to look cute and keep cool & comfortable during the summer. While some of my efforts were not successful I am here to tell you about the ones that were. The pieces I stick to no matter what because I know they won’t let me down when the temps keep going up.
The Most Luxurious Loungewear | Featuring Nudwear
These days life can be pretty hectic. Between being a full-time wife, mom and blogger, it’s important to remember that taking care of myself is still a priority. I have found that treating myself to luxurious loungewear can be a simple way to keep myself feeling comfortable and confident on a daily basis.
I am a firm believer that loungewear should be extremely soft and high quality, and while this seems like it should be a given, sometimes it can be hard to find. That’s why I’m so excited to share my new found love of Nudwear with you all.

My New Studio | Details | Designed By The LifeStyled Company
Now that I’ve had some time to really let my new home redesign by The LifeStyled Company sink in, my only regret is not getting my office redesigned sooner!

Working in this environment has really helped my creativity flow and I truly feel so inspired every time I sit down to work.
