Did you know today is National Lacy Oatmeal Cookie Day? Yeah, I didn’t know it was a thing either until a couple of days ago. I hadn’t even heard of lacy oatmeal cookies before. I’ve made Florentine lace cookies before, but never oatmeal lace cookies. I love trying new recipes, so I decided to give…

I’ve told you that sweater dresses are definitely my go-to right now. I love sweater dresses because they are so comfortable but look put-together without even trying. You don’t have to iron them and they are really low-maintenance. I wear sweater dresses for work and on the weekends. I thought it might be helpful to…

Are you a jewelry wearer? I tend to focus on one major piece of jewelry at a time, but there are certain pieces I always wear. My fingers are always adorned with gold rings, and my ears are stacked with little diamond and gold earrings. However, I also like to add other fun statement pieces…
If you follow my fashion posts, you know I’m a major fan of sweater dresses. I post about them quite often, but I definitely still have room for another sweater dress in my closet. I recently got this winter white sweater dress for less than $30 and it’s one of my new favorites. If you…

When I was in college, St Patrick’s Day was one of my favorite holidays. I loved the excuse to go out and drink green beer and green long islands (yes really). Now that I have kids, St. Patrick’s day is much more about fun foods. That’s why I wanted to share 10 fun St. Patrick’s…
A fun fashion trend that emerged in the fall and is still going strong is the two-toned clothing, or often called spliced. I think it’s a super fun trend because it’s so unexpected. Although I do think it will stick around this spring and summer, this is one of those trends that will be fleeting,…
