I can’t believe that Valentine’s Day is only a little over a week away! Normally my boyfriend and I like to grab a nice dinner on or around Valentine’s Day and I like to dress up a little when we do that. The issue tends to be that February 14th falls right smack dab in the middle of winter in Wisconsin. The weather is usually bitterly cold which doesn’t lend well to having a hot date night. If you have ever experienced a Midwest winter, you know that dressing cute in the frigid temps is something that is easier said than done. That is why I wanted to share some…

Chicwish Pom-Pom Sweater from Day to Night
If there is one thing that I try and look for in every piece of clothing that I buy, it is versatility. I think that buying an item with the intention to only wear it once is such a waste in many ways. When I saw this sweater on Chicwish I fell in love with the pom details and ideas for how to wear it immediately started swirling around in my head. Usually, when pieces trigger these reactions for me, they tend to be winners and this pom sweater was no exception. Since Valentine’s day is coming up and it happens to fall on a Friday this year, I figured…

Current Pajamas and Loungewear Faves
I have been wanting to round up some sleepwear/loungewear looks for a while now. There’s very little in this world that I love more than being able to stay in my pj’s all day. In fact, the introvert in me needs days like that occasionally to recoup and re-energize. Even though the chances of anyone seeing me when I’m in my PJs are slim to none, I still prefer to wear cozy clothes that I think are still cute. Since there is no better time than winter to stay cozied up inside, I figured now would be the perfect time to share some of my current pajamas and loungewear faves!…

6 Different Ways to Wear 1 Green Cardigan
I have always loved a good cardigan. When you want to try and dress well on a budget, versatility is key. A basic like cardigan can be worn in an endless number of ways, which is why I will probably always be a sucker for a good cardi. When I saw this one in Old Navy, I fell in love with the color of it. The hue is muted enough to make it fairly neutral, but I don’t have a ton of green in my closet, so it was something a little different for me. When I got it home, I realized that I had even more to wear with…

Leopard Print Faves
2019 May have been the year of the snakeskin print, but leopard will forever be a personal favorite of mine! I practically consider it a neutral at this point. I have always loved leopard print, but I didn’t realize how much of it I own until recently. Since I know that I am not the only one who loves this print, I figured I would round up my personal leopard print faves! Leopard Pocket Tee Basic Leopard Cami *Note: The exact cami that I ordered is no longer available, but I have linked options that look SUPER similar Oversized Leopard Cardigan *For more on this cardigan, check out the blog…

Top 10 Amazon Purchases of the Year
I have always loved Amazon. I remember shopping it in highschool for pretty phone cases that were half the price of what the kiosks in the mall were selling them for. And of course, I used Amazon to shop for used textbooks in college (Amazon did get it beginnings as an online bookseller, after all). As much as I have enjoyed all the fun and unique finds that Amazon has to offer, I don’t think that I have ever shopped it as much as I did in 2019. Most of my purchases have been clothes and accessories. There are so many cute and affordable styles on Amazon, but many times…

Holiday Party Outfit Inspo
One thing that I have struggled with in the past is dressing for holiday parties. In the midwest, it can be especially difficult to outfit plan. If you are trying to figure out what to wear more than a week in advance, it is hard to know if you should dress for 40-degree weather or 2-degree weather. Mother Nature is pretty finicky this time of year and might give us either temp – or both within a few days of each other. So, I thought that I would share some holiday party outfit inspo – making sure to include options for each temperature range! I hope one of these looks…

At-Home Manicures That I am Loving
If you are anything like me, making time to go to the nail salon every two weeks is about as realistic as living on Mars. I’m not saying that it’s completely impossible, but the chances of it happening anytime in the near future are pretty slim. For me, the biggest issue is time (or lack thereof). There is a salon in my town that offers appointments, but the times that are realistic for me are always booked. The next nearest town is 20 minutes from me in either direction, so by the time I drive to and from the salon plus the time I spend at the salon, I am…

Charlie and Grace Cyber Deals SNEAK PEAK
I cannot believe that holiday shopping time is already upon us! It is one of my favorite times of year to shop because there are SO many good deals out there. Last year, I rounded up some of my favorite Black Friday finds. While exact items have changed for 2019, the types of items and retailers that I plan to shop remain the same – with one major exception. Charlie and Grace was not a retailer that was on my radar during this time last year. Since discovering Charlie and Grace and falling in love with their mission, I have become a brand ambassador for them. (To find out more…

Trendy Bold Striped Sweater Four Ways
I have been seeing this trendy bold striped sweater all over Instagram lately and I think that it is adorable! This exact one comes in 3 different colorways. Even though the colors in them play nicely into fall, I think that the sweater can easily be carried into spring as well. It is lightweight with a slightly loose-knit, so while it is warm enough for cooler fall and winter temps, it won’t be too heavy for spring when the temperatures start to warm up a bit. Because I think the sweater is so trendy and versatile, I decided to show you four ways that you can wear it! With Blue…
