So usually with try ons or hauls, I have always taken the perspective that I am showing you a possibility of what an outfit could look like on you or on my body type, etc or give you a quick snapshot review of fit, quality or even if something is worth buying, etc because sometimes […]
So last week, after I declared I’m not shopping Amazon any longer, there was a poignant conversation in the comments of does this mean I’m only going high end on here? Most likely no more than I already have but I honestly don’t have a plan, I just knew that I didn’t want to continue […]
I’ve fully avoided this post for a while but you know what? It’s been about 8 months since I’ve ordered anything fashion from Amazon and I think I can safely say I’ve walked away from this altogether. I wanted to make sure before I made a public statement just in case I wanted to walk […]
Emmett is the name of my jeans, if you were wondering. And she’s pleased to meet you. I love that clothing brands now use cool girl names for clothes. It’s akin to the free range eggs you buy at a supermarket having a back story of the hen that laid them. I like to think […]
Alright the blog gods (you) have spoken: selfie content it is until I can figure something out. I’m back, baby. This blog post actually a three part-er: 1) this jacket I’m obsessed with 2) these linen shorts that run so generously it’s giving me an endorphin boost and 3) this tee I didn’t realize I […]
Hi friends! Long time no blog, I know. So I wanted to share a few outfits as of late — well the ones I snapped — and where I’ve been lately. Please know that every day that passed without a post on KE I felt it in my bones. This blog and I are intrinsically […]
Happy Spring! I can’t believe it but I actually timed this spring shoe guide post to be close to the first day of spring. Coincidence? ABSOLUTELY. I couldn’t have planned this better, my friends, because I would have never even thought about planning it to be on the first day of spring nor even close […]
You know what paint color ‘agreeable grey’? Well I’d like to introduce you to her friend and college roommate, Unlikely Yellow. When they met, they didn’t think they’d be friends as they only have cool tones in common. But as it turns out, an agreeable grey works well with a pastel yellow. The yellow in this […]
Is this cardigan a lot? She is. She’s all the colors and more. And I have to be honest, after wearing mainly neutrals for the last few years I’m feeling quite out of the box. I’m feeling a bit sheepish wearing so much color. So of course I went ahead and added the most colorful […]
This side of last year I was really fighting to let go of the skinny jean trend. I still think it is the best silhouette and most flattering for all in the denim world, but I also want to be open to new trends, too. Since skinny jeans have been up for debate for a […]
I made out like a bandit at Nordstrom the other day — but a responsible bandit. (As in I paid for everything and said thank you.) I’ve been wanting to spruce up my closet a bit in things that fit me so I ran the gamut on items from dresses to jeans to jacket at […]
This little series is going to be fun because you will be able to see my new house change week by week. I’m still decorating and needing some things like lights, rugs, but it’s slowly coming together. For instance, this gallery wall behind me in some of the photos is now complete but for about […]
I can’t count how many times I’ve done this outfit pairing. It’s one of my very favorites because it comes together so easily and looks so cool. Mixing a graphic tee with a graphic skirt seems like it will be too much pattern, but when you keep your colors consistent, it works out just […]
So you don’t know this — ‘because I didn’t tell you’ she says in her sneakiest voice — but last spring-ish I was on a medication that was making me rapidly gain weight. And above that it was in really randomly places that I don’t usually gain, so my body was changing rapidly and I […]
I’ve been really into visual planning lately. Probably because we are setting up the new house but also just to see something aesthetically come together is so pleasing to me. So I wanted to create my monthly moldboards to set the tone for each month. These may change from month to month but overall I […]
Hi! I’m back! Well..sort of. I’m back to my desk so regularly scheduled programming should resume shortly, my loved ones. In the meantime, I shot one last try on in that mega closet of mine. She was loved and she will be missed. I thought I’d share a few things I found from J.Crew I […]
Sorry for the week of silence but we are officially moved! I thought I’d share our house with you, too. I’ve willingly put my life on the internet for the last 15 years but as I’ve gotten older, had a kid, etc. I’ve been more aware of what I’d like to keep as private as […]
Hi guys! We are in the middle of Move Week over here but THANK YOU for your kind responses on my last life update post. The love is felt and I wish I could give you an actual hug. absolutely no shade to anyone in this photo, they look great! (vogue.com) I know that this […]
Hello there, friends: Sorry for the slowness or weirdness (nay awkwardness?) I don’t know. Whatever the vibe has been around here, I apologize for it. I know it’s felt off for a while because I’ve felt off for a while. This blog and I are one and the same so it’s hard to hide anything […]
I know that I don’t go into a work place each day but I have been really interested in more workwear lately. That was one reason I wanted to know if you went into the office or if you worked from home from my reader survey last December. I had a realization that jeans might […]
It has been a real minute since I’ve bought anything from Nordstrom. I took an un-official shopping break right around the holidays until really now. My un-official break ended when I bought a blazer on sale at Madewell the other day for $50! It was a good find. (It’s still on sale just not with […]
Hello there my friends and happy February. January was wild for us over here. I’ve got some explaining to do and that’s coming up this week. I’m putting the finishing touches on that post that touches on our behind the scenes lately. How was your January? I honestly can’t believe how fast months move by […]
That’s right — they’re wide leg. Does this mean I’ve gone over to the other side? Am I a wide leg jean girly now? I mean, maybe but here is the deal – I still feel like I’m in junior high a bit. I’m trying my best to embrace it. I even went with sneakers […]
Happy Tuesday which I fully thought was Monday. (I just had to check again, it is in fact Tuesday, not Monday.) How is everyone? We are hanging on over here. I’ve got lots to catch you up on, but let’s do that for a whole other post not a cute little outfit post. I apologize […]
The Sling Crossbody Bag is she’s back in stock! She was sold out for a minute, but she’s back, baby and I absolutely recommend her. See my full review below. I love the crossbody / sling bag trend and I don’t see it going anywhere soon. If you, like me, started casually with athletic crossbody […]
I will preface this post with if you want to take a more country look with a denim on denim outfit, I am not one to stop you. But I also feel like you know what you are doing, you know? This post is for those of us who want to wear denim on denim […]
Is it too late to do a 2023 review? Yes? Okay cool. I’m gonna do it though because my motto is better two weeks late than never. Last year I kind of swapped out some of my tried and true’s from the past years. I swapped out my very favorite cleansing balm for an easy […]
Coming to you today from a very clean closet. Almost…too clean. When I deep clean my closet, it feels brand new like whose closet is this?? Because mine usually has a little…’patina’ to it. I’ve been on a deep clean journey this January and let me tell you, it feels good. Cleaning up and cleaning […]
Let’s talk about how incredibly millennial this outfit is. I mean it is quite possibly the most millennial outfit ever — white jeans CHECK / striped top CHECK / cognac leather accessories CHECK, CHECK. And you what to know the truth? I absolutely love it. You see this outfit came together for a sponsored post […]
This January challenge has definitely been… a challenge. You see since I’ve started the challenge we have been hit with flu, strep, and an ice storm that took a three day weekend into a 4 day weekend. Lots of days off from school, lots of cuddling and lots of ‘mom will you play with me?’ […]
I almost paired a different sweater with this outfit but this grey one won me over because it was such a nice match with the grey jeans. Like just the right amount of matching, not too close in color but perfectly complementary. Similar grey’s are hard to come by as not all greys are equal […]
Well my friends, I got sick this week. January gonna January. Every year it never fails, I get sick. I was even patting myself on the back getting started so early this year, only to have my plans foiled by whatever germ was floating in the air that fateful day at Costco. So I was […]
I promise you I did not forget to get dressed Saturday / Sunday but I did wear essentially the same thing both days. Different leggings, but same top, same jacket. And I know, I know — it’s leggings but it is NOT a give up outfit. You see, I am in clean out mode at […]
Well well well, I made it a week in this monthly challenge. Here we are on day 8 in jeans. Honestly it’s been a roller coaster but more like the begging of the roller coaster where you’re just waiting for everyone to get their seat belts checked so the ride can start. Last week felt […]
Full disclosure: the title is not in regard to yesterday’s conundrum. I’m a fast thinker but like not overnight fast. I didn’t figure out the thing about buying a size up or waiting out weight loss, but I did figure out why I don’t like the wide leg jean trend right now. That’s right, today […]
…I’m over it. First day I didn’t think this would be a challenge and here I am on day 4 like ughhhh I have to get dressed because I made a promise to myself and the internet. So you could say the challenge IS working to that effect — it is making me get dressed. […]
I actually bought this sweater last year — and not just bought it I SNATCHED IT OUT OF MADEWELL’S FINAL SALE HANDS. And did you see it on here last year? You sure didn’t. (Well actually I think I made a reel…but it never made its way to the blog.) I think I may have […]
Okay… so I should probably come up with actual titles for my posts instead of the date. But today is done so… it’s noted for tomorrow. Also please enjoy my amateur Christmas manicure that I did with Gemma and I’ve yet to take it off. She’s reminded me it’s January and we need new nails, […]
