It’s just a regular crochet factory over here these days. Paul jokes that I’m turning into that crochet guy from the U.S. Bank commercials (I promise I’m not making a pool cover). LOL But, I am always searching for unique projects to crochet and when I saw this little bag I knew I had to […]
A chunky crochet pom pom scarf is my new favorite winter accessory (and oh yeah, I made this one too). 
As you know, I’ve been crocheting up a bunch of fun clothing and accessories (see my crochet sweater vest and market tote). My latest project was this crochet pom pom scarf and I love […]
I share so many beautiful James Avery Jewelry designs with you (p.s. they’re a wonderful brand partner of mine) and this James Avery Christmas collection is no exception! I love it all, but these are my absolute favorite picks to wrap up and put under the tree this year. Naturally, I had to have the […]
It’s the coziest time of year for crochet projects and I’ve been busy expanding my repertoire! I wrote about this new hobby of mine in this post, where I crocheted a French market tote and some other fun and cute accessories. Today I’m sharing my most recent piece – this beautiful crochet sweater vest and […]
Living in a warm climate, I’m pretty picky with my outerwear. I usually only go for staple or classic pieces like camel coats, a sturdy rain jacket, or a trench. But this year I’ve been wanting to add a shacket to my wardrobe and I got the opportunity to do so by working with my […]
Happy Friday, friends! I hope the weather has changed into Fall mode where you live. Here in central Texas it just keeps teasing us. One day it’s cool and the next it’s warm, but that’s pretty typical. Our most recent cool front came in last week and it was so lovely! Really got me feeling […]
Over the last year plus, like many of us, I’ve been trying some new things. Ever since the pandemic began, I sort of re-evaluated the things I enjoy doing and also realized just how precious time itself is. I want to spend it with the people I care most about and when I’m not doing […]
As usual, James Avery comes out with the prettiest jewelry designs for the new season. I’m slowly accepting that Fall is around the corner (what can I say, I’m a summer girl), but these new jewelry designs from James Avery are helping to ease the transition. Each piece is absolutely perfect and I love how […]
Hi friends! I have a quick post today featuring some of my favorite pieces from Mott & Bow. I’ve shared about them before in this post, and well, they continue to be a valued brand partner of mine. And I just genuinely love the quality of their clothes. So today, I want to tell you […]
Sometimes a travel souvenir is small and other times it’s…special. 
Really special. I’ve written about my favourite souvenirs and tips for shopping them in the past, so today is just a quick post about my latest travel souvenir – the Rive Gauche shopping tote from Saint Laurent. There’s a historical connection between the Rive […]
Hi, friends! Hopefully you’ve been following along with me on Instagram over the past week or so, and if you did, then you know we just spent a glorious week+ in Paris! This was a trip that came together faster than any of our previous trips to Europe. Once France opened up to vaccinated Americans, […]
By the time we get to July 4th, it can seem like summer is slipping away too quickly. I mean, it’s just not right to have back-to-school ads already. I’ve always been one to wish for an endless summer. I just love the easy going nature of it. And it always makes me feel a […]
You know that I love sharing new brands/businesses with you and that I love to support small business owners. I’m combining both of those passions in today’s post to introduce you to Ms. Fabulous, a women’s fashion boutique located in Carmel-By-The-Sea and owned by my sweet friend Kara. She sent me some beautiful new pieces […]
Do you have plans for the July 4th holiday weekend? We usually keep it close to home, although in the past we have often been traveling in Europe instead. Our last July 4th spent abroad was in Croatia. I can remember waking up on our sailboat in Mljet to the sounds of Bruce Springsteen singing […]
Last week I had the opportunity to attend another fun collection launch at Dillard’s. I had a great time at the Born on Fifth Launch and knew that when I previewed the Kimberly Whitman collection, I would love it too! Here’s what I think is especially great about the Kimberly Whitman X Antonio Melani collection […]
I’ve always seen these fishnet style market bags when we travel throughout Europe but I never really knew this bag had so much history or even that it had a proper name. The Normandy, France based company, Filt, has been producing these fishnet style bags, called filet, since the 1860s. These lightweight, expandable, and stylish […]
Well it’s officially HOT! I think summer is creeping in. Combine that with my “vacation brain” and you have the casual summer style edit! It’s basically a few summer outfit ideas based on everything I love to wear this time of year, like my favorite pair of cutoff denim shorts or a flowy dress. After […]
I’ve been scoring left and right with Amazon purchases lately, so here’s another roundup of this month’s Amazon favorites! I’m actually thinking of creating an Amazon storefront to keep all these goodies in one place. What do you guys think? Anywho…this month has a lot of great home items and a couple Amazon Fashion finds […]
Have you started your Mother’s Day shopping yet? I always feel like this holiday sneaks up on me and I try very hard to find personalized gifts for mom. As always, James Avery has me covered! Their Mother’s Day 2021 Jewelry collection is just as beautiful and unique as the mom in your life. And […]
Have you ever ordered a swimsuit from Amazon? I ordered my first Amazon swimsuit when we traveled to Croatia and it ended up being one of my favorite swimsuits ever. Amazon even reposted my photo to their Instagram page! You can see the post here. I still love my bright yellow ruffle strap one-piece and […]
