I recently shared a blog post where I talked about how much I love Charlie and Grace Boutique and why I think that they are a great boutique to shop with. Between writing that blog post and now, a lot has happened. The biggest thing, however, is that I have decided to become a Charlie and Grace Brand Ambassador!  As a Brand Ambassador for Charlie and Grace, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Blaire, the owner, and it has made me super excited to be a part of her team. She completely encompasses the definition of a boss babe in all good ways! Blaire and her husband…

Current Amazon Favorites
I have been shopping on Amazon A LOT lately.  They are so quick which is super convenient for a procrastinator like myself! There are many really cute and affordable options, but sometimes judging quality on Amazon can be really tough. Although I have quite a few items that I’ve kept from Amazon, there are just as many that I have returned. If the item is not what I was expecting or I just don’t love it as much as I thought I would, I have no problem returning it.  Since shopping the website can be hit or miss (at best) I thought that I’d share my current Amazon favorites! Current…

Ruffle Shoulder Top Multiple Ways
A few weeks ago I was approached by a manufacturer who sells on Amazon to write a review on their product in exchange for said product.  As soon as I saw this ruffle shoulder top, I knew that this was a collaboration that I could get on board with. I have to admit that I was a little nervous at first because I wasn’t sure if the ruffle details on the shoulders would look as good in person as they did in the picture of the item that I was shown.  However, when I got the top and tried it on, I loved the way the sleeves looked! Of course,…

Spring to Summer Transition Outfits
Springtime here in Wisconsin can be… Awkward. One day it might be 82° and sunny and then the very next day it might be 60° and rainy. It usually doesn’t get consistently warm until the middle to end of June most years. Once the temps outside do start to rise, it seems like they only stay that way for about a month. Some years are better than others of course, but I swear there have been plenty of Summers where the highs dip down into the mid-sixties by mid-August. Since the weather in the midwest can be so temperamental, I thought that I would round up 9 spring-to-summer transition outfits.…

The Perfect Summer Kimono and Shopping for Charity
It is no secret that I love a good kimono.  I wear them at least once a week. They are so versatile! There are so many ways that you wear them and they are truly a year-round staple.  After partnering with the Charlie and Grace Boutique on a giveaway on Instagram, they were sweet enough to send me a gift as a thank you. I had no idea what they were sending me, but when I opened the package from them, inside was the perfect summer kimono.  Needless to say, I could not have been more thrilled! What’s even better is that it is available on their website, and when…

One Pair of White Jeans, 22 Ways!
It’s no secret that these white jeans are one of my current favorite pair of jeans.  Actually, not only is it one of my favorite pairs of jeans, but it’s one of my favorite items all around. Just scroll through my Instagram feed and you will probably see them in about 73% of my posts. (Don’t fact check me though. I totally pulled that number out of my butt). Since I’ve worn them so much, I figured that I’d do a round up all 20 ways I have worn this one pair of jeans… so far. 1. With a chambray top, cardigan, and blanket scarf I will start here because…

My Current Free People Favorites
Most days I am a pretty budget conscious shopper. I’ve never been someone who is concerned with the name of the brand that I’m wearing. I know that for every $200 pair of jeans, there is a $30 pair somewhere out there that fits just as well. I’m totally someone who gets a huge thrill out of finding a great deal on an item I find on the clearance rack. Free People is one brand, however, that I have no problem spending more than I typically would for a piece. I’ve built up a little bit of a collection of Free People pieces because I shop their brand so often.…

11 Do’s and Don’ts in Autsin, Texas
1. DO listen to the locals when they tell you that they prefer Rainey Street over 6th Street Two of the most popular nightlife districts in Austin, Texas are Rainey Street and 6th Street. Most locals that I spoke with while in Austin said that they preferred Rainey street over 6th Street. After experiencing both streets, I totally get it. If I were local to Austin, Rainey Street would definitely be more my scene. The bars and clubs on Rainey Street are a little chicer and more hip. The crowds tend to be more of the young professional type. However… 2. DON’T let the local’s opinion deter you from checking…

One Kimono a Couple of Ways
Is there anything better than a kimono when it comes to layering pieces?! There are so many varieties of kimonos and the options with them are endless! I love all the different colors, cuts, and prints that are available and it is pretty easy to find a good option for under $20. Also, I love how a kimono really elevates an outfit, so that is why I am sharing this one kimono a couple of ways. Early this spring, I had been looking to replace an older kimono that I had in my closet that had seen better days. Naturally, I took to Amazon, and their selection did not disappoint!…

Easter Outfits Under $100
If you’re anything like me, you won’t know what you’re wearing for Easter until…. ohhh Easter morning. I’ve been shopping around for outfits to wear this weekend. I’m not entirely sure I’m actually going to buy a new outfit for Easter or if I will just find something in my closet. If I do buy an outfit, you better believe I’m going to spend as little as possible. Since I was shopping around anyways, I thought I would share some of my finds! All of these Easter outfits are under $100! There are so many cute options out there, but these are a few of my faves! I don’t love…
