I am guessing if you follow this blog regularly, then it should come as no surprise that a t-shirt, ripped skinnies, and a great pair of pumps is my go-too outfit.  It’s such an easy combo and works perfectly for so many different types of events and outings.  And while I am fond of this outfit all year round, I especially love it in the Fall season when I can incorporate another one of my very favorite items-a classic moto jacket!

If you haven’t jumped on the graphic tee bandwagon yet, then you are seriously missing out!  I mean seriously, how awesome is it that it is perfectly fashionably acceptable to rock a super-comfy tee with your favorite skirt or heels?  This is one trend I’m hoping will stick around for a while!  Don’t you  just love it when fashion and comfort collide?

KiraKira Giveaway!

I love a great chambray dress.  It is the epitome of casual chic, and a perfect (and super easy) piece for summer that also transitions well into Fall!  I especially love to style mine back to neutral accessories and gold jewelry and love the extra glam factor that a floppy hat and white bag can add.  It feels to me like the prefect ensemble for a Sunday brunch or fun lunch date.  Plus, you can score this dress from Old Navy for less than $30.  Talk about a no-brainer!

Now onto some exciting news!!  If you follow this blog, then you know that I wear my Marrakech ring from KiraKira ALL. THE. TIME!  My sweet hubby surprised me with it for my birthday, and it has quickly become one of my very favorite pieces of jewelry.  And so today, I couldn’t be more excited to be teaming up with the fabulous ladies of KiraKira to give one away to one of you!  You can find all the entry details at the bottom of this post!!!

Casual Friday

Blogging is a very interesting world to be a part of.  In fact, all of social media for that matter.  We have the option to share with the world only what we want them to see-often times making our lives seem a little (or a lot) more perfect and glamorous than they really maybe are.  Truth be told, I have a very demanding full-time job and so when I take photos for this blog, half the time I’m throwing something together as my husband is running out the door for work and we snap off a few rushed photos with our neighbors looking on (surely thinking we’re crazy).  It’s not a fancy affair by any means (one of these days I’ll have to do an outfit outtake post so you guys can see just how awkward I really am in front of the camera).  And while I try my best to give you guys a variety of outfit ideas from week to week, in my real, day-to-day life, I am pretty casual.  And on the weekends, you can be sure that I am usually rocking some variation of the below ensemble…

Happy, happy Friday to all of you!  My hubby is a away at a bachelor party and one of my best girlfriends is coming to the SLC to spend the weekend with me.  I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for a girl’s weekend!  Not to mention the fact that the Sundance Film Festival kicks off this weekend!  Be sure to follow along on Instagram to keep up with all of the adventures!

Happy weekend, dolls!

Peppermint Plaid

When I think of holiday fashion, I think about dressing up-sequins and sparkles, high heels and statement jewelry, and lots and lots of red.  But one thing I don’t often plan, or think about for that matter, is a comfy, cozy outfit to wear for lounging around on Christmas in between opening presents and dinner festivities. And so today, I wanted to share a look that is festive enough to wear for the holidays, while still being super comfy and at the same time!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve to all of you!  I am so excited for this week, I really can hardly stand it.  This is my absolute favorite time of the year and I am so happy to be celebrating with family and remembering the real reason for the season.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

On Repeat

If you were to run into me on a typical Saturday in the Fall, I would most likely be wearing something similar to today’s outfit.  In my book, it’s tough to beat a staple chambray shirt (plaid is also often on repeat), my favorite skinnies, a vest for layering, and a pair of boots comfy enough for running errands or cheering my hubby on at a Cyclocross race.  This is definitely my go-to fall look, and if I am being honest, it has been for the last couple of years.  Not super exciting, I know.  But sometimes practicality wins out over fashion…

Change Up

There is almost nothing I love more than attending the first official BBQ of spring. But truth be told, I don’t find them to be the easiest of occasions to dress for. Probably because as much as I love high heels and jewelry, they unfortunately aren’t the best accessory choices for a back yard get together. But through a little trial and error, I think I have come up with a foolproof outfit combo that not only lets me be comfy and appropriate for such occasions, but even a little stylish too…

You have probably noticed things are looking a little different on the blog today-and hopefully in a good way!  I have been wanting to test a little larger photo size and a more simplified layout for a while now.  And what can I say? I guess the new season finally inspired me to change things up a bit.  Guess it’s my blogging version of spring cleaning.  Anyway, would LOVE to hear your feedback!

Thank you so much for reading!

Come Fly With Me

I am on the road a lot for work. And because I am in stores when traveling and have to wear all black, dressing for travel tends to be a fairly easy task. But when I travel for leisure, I find dressing for flights is not quite as easy. Comfort is key, but for me, sweat pants are definitely not an option. Instead, I like to select outfits that are not only comfortable and casual, but that are also just fashionable enough to have the ability to take me straight from the airport to lunch, dinner, drinks, or wherever I might need to go when I land!

J and I spent this past weekend in North Dakota visiting his family before his parents make the move to Montana in April.  It was a bittersweet trip, but we had a fabulous time and shared lots of laughs and memories with two very special grandma’s, Justin’s mom and dad, and an amazing group of aunties, uncles, cousins, and extended family.  It was a very special weekend and I am feeling extra blessed to have married into such a wonderful family! 

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

I Heart Sequins

This sparkly little number from Forever21 has my name all over it. It is the culmination of so many of my current favorite things: hearts, sequins, the perfect shade of gray, and it’s a sweatshirt to boot! And because this little pullover has so many great features, it’s an easy piece to dress up or dress down. For this particular outfit though, I opted to dress it down-pairing a new favorite back to a some old…

Can you believe the fog in the backdrop of these photos?  As if getting back into the swing of things after an incredible vacation hasn’t been hard enough, the weather in the SLC has been absolutely crazy!  From smog to freezing rain to dense fog and now major snow storms, I think I’m about ready to hightail it back to the tropics!

Hope you are all having a great week!
