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. (In fact as I write I am wearing this jumpsuit for a baby shower my sistersContinue reading Jumpsuit Monday: The Lounger
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
The Fab 40s in Lace
Lace was The Fab 40s theme for this month of June. We’ve covered the color of the year, the jumpsuit trend plus the gingham trend, and now lace. In this one I think we are definitely all very different. That’s what’s so fun about this collaboration with Sheela, Dixie, Dawn Lucy, and Jane. We allContinue reading The Fab 40s in Lace
Jumpsuit Monday: The Romper
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
Style Story 19: Five Day Denim Challenge
There’s a Five Day Denim Challenge on. It was called by Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller. I hadn’t heard about it until my friend Sheela from Sheela Writes asked if I was up for it. At first I kind of laughed because when I’m on summer vacation, I pretty much live in jeans–of some sortContinue reading Style Story 19: Five Day Denim Challenge
Jumpsuit Monday: The Black Jumpsuit
A black jumpsuit might just be a staple for every woman’s closet.

Summer Plans, 2015
This is one of my favorite pics from last summer. It’s from a dinner date at our local pizza joint out at Spirit Lake. Here’s the original post. School just ended!

Summer Sequins in Stanley
Summer Sequins in Stanley was actually homework–but of the fun variety! I’m almost finished with my personal styling work from The London College of Style. It’s taken me awhile, but I’ve got three more modules so the finish line is near! Recently, one of my assignments was to make an 8 page fashion spread withContinue reading Summer Sequins in Stanley

Jumpsuit Monday continues this week. While last week I posted the styling of a cocktail party jumpsuit, this Monday it’s all about wearing this spring trend for day parites. You know the day parties are coming up: Sunday brunches, baby and wedding showers, and reunions to name a few. There’s a jumpsuit out there thatContinue reading Jumpsuit Monday: Day Party Jumpsuit
Style Story: THE Bikini for Over 40
This was my first halter crop bikini top. I splurged but it was so worth it. This criss cross back is brilliant! Unfortunately now it’s only available in XS. I’ve found it: THE bikini for over 40. Now granted this post feels very gutsy on my part! I mean, I’m posting pictures of myself inContinue reading Style Story: THE Bikini for Over 40

Summer reading is the best! There are hours in the day that can just be spent reading. I love my summer reading and look forward to it with a yearning.

Hip Update {On Wednesdays I Write}
That’s the official name of it: “Femoroacetabular Impingement.” Say what? My doc grabbed my phone here because he had a better shot–I was just pretty happy to have a textbook hip problem! My hip is hardly a fun topic to write about on this blog, but if you know me well, you know that myContinue reading Hip Update {On Wednesdays I Write}
