One of my favorite clothing options in the fall and winter are sweater dresses. I love them because they come in so many different shapes, colors, styles and fits. You can find bodycon black sweater dresses, like the one I’m wearing, or much flowier sweater dresses, like this check-print one and this ribbed one I…

My favorite time of year! It’s cookie season friends! I love Christmas time but I especially love it because it gives me so many opportunities to bake. When I looked back at all I’ve done in the 6+ years I’ve been blogging, I realized that I’m a bit of a cookie-baking addict. Just on gingerbread…

We received a complimentary trip to Seattle and admission to the Christmas events in Seattle. All opinions are my own. Thank you, Visit Seattle for sponsoring our trip.

I love wearing sweatshirts. I’d wear one every day if I had the choice. But finding cute sweatshirts for women can sometimes be a challenge. The thing about sweatshirts is that you have to find ones that are cut specially for women. Fit is really everything when it comes to wearing sweatshirts. If they are…
Do you like cranberries? I personally think they are an underutilized fruit. Most people only have them once or twice a year on Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas and they only eat them as cranberry sauce.

Are you a fan of plaid coats? I love them, but I wasn’t sure I really wanted to get one because they are so very specific. They are bold and pretty loud. I decided that it would be worth it if I found one that was affordable and versatile. That’s why I wanted to share…
