I found a fabulous black leather skirt and couldn’t wait to style it. It’s such a versatile piece to add to your closet. Here are five ways to wear it. Which look is your favorite? I’m leaning toward the brown/black blazer.
I styled the skirt down with a chambray top, western style belt and some neutral sandals. This could translate well into spring and warmer months. Wearing a M in the top, XS in the skirt.
I love the colors in this blazer. It also has a nice fringe detail along the bottom. This blazer is slightly cropped, which works perfectly with the high-waisted leather skirt. I did patent leather heels to play off the shiny buttons on the blazer. Wearing a S in the blazer, XS in the skirt.
For this look, I paired with a mock neck sweater that has almost a corduroy material. I balanced out the sweater with an ankle boot. Perfect for those of us still experiencing cooler weather. Wearing a S in the sweater, XS in the skirt.
This is another really cute tweed blazer optioin you could pair with this skirt. Wearing a S in the bodysuit, XS in the skirt.
I love the neutral colors and print on this blouse. I kept the shoes light and neutral too. This look would work great for the office or church. Wearing a 4 in the blouse, XS in the skirt.
A little weekend getaway was just what we needed, and DC did not disappoint. Two days and one night is the perfect time for us – a quick break to eat, laugh, play, and reconnect. And then get back home to our boys. We had a great time on our trip making new memories. Here are some snapshots of my outfits, along with some items I came across while shopping and absolutely loved.
Georgetown is the cutest town. Linking some items I loved while shopping there.
This sweater shirt is so incredibly soft. I own it in grey and love how cozy it is. Love this color option.
Great gold hoop alternative. Gravitated right to these. Thick brushed gold. Perfect for everyday wear.
I’m a big fan of pearl embellishments – this headband is like jewelry for your hair! This particular style was so popular with all of you that it sold out, but I’ve rounded up some more pearl accessories I’m currently loving below. So many amazing pearl hair accessories, jewelry and more that are perfect for spring.
I don’t have sisters, and I don’t have daughters, so I’m sharing this tip with you. Lay off the dry shampoo. Seriously, it’ll clog your scalp and make your hair grow slower or not at all. Here are three things you can do in between washes instead of just layering on the dry shampoo:
1. Hit your roots with a cold blow dryer after working out. Flip your head over and use a blow dryer on the cold setting to soak up any excess grease
2. Use a little bit of loose setting powder instead. This setting powder is my little secret weapon, especially when I only have 5 min before we need to leave for church. Don’t buy it from Amazon – it’s fake. Buy directly from their site (here’s a link). Just put a little bit on a big fluffy brush and then lightly tap it into your hair so it soaks up the grease a bit but doesn’t get into your scalp.
3. If you do use dry shampoo, apply it to a brush first and then comb it through your hair. You’ll see what it looks like on the brush – you definitely don’t want that on your scalp!
When the weather gets cold, all I want to do is put on a sweatsuit. It’s all I want to wear around the house this time of year. I tried these on with my Metcon Nikes that I customized with my initials. Sharing my thoughts on each piece below!
This one is not a normal sweatsuit material. It’s a poly viscose blend, which makes it a little cool to the touch and sweat-wicking. I like the cut of the joggers. They come in a few different colors. Keeping it. Wearing a medium on top, XS on bottom.
I love this sweatshirt so much I ended up buying it in navy as well. I thought these pants would be the same shade of brown as the top. I wouldn’t wear these together. These are the same style sweatpants as the green ones. I absolutely love this sweatshirt. I will probably return the pants and keep the sweatshirt. Wearing a medium on top, small on bottom (bottoms run big).
This sweatshirt is deluxe. I sized up, and I like it. True sweatsuit material. Inside is nice and warm and cozy. It comes in a few colors. Makes me want to go nowhere. This one’s a keeper. Wearing a medium on top, small on bottom.
These are selling out quickly. Linking some other favorite sweatsuits below.
I’m excited to partner with American Gianttoday, provide you with a discount code, and share a little about this American-made clothing brand I’ve been loving for the past year.
I fell in love with American Giant Classic Relaxed V-Neck Tee last year and have slowly been adding more of their pieces to my closet. I’m constantly reaching for this perfectly oversized white tee. The length is just long enough to do a good front tuck and I love deep (but not too deep) V. I’ve washed my tee probably 15-20 times over the year and it hasn’t lost its shape. That’s one of the key values I admire in American Giant – they make clothing that is durable, not disposable.
Wearing the Classic Full Zip Hoodie in Light Fatigue size Small + Premium Slub V Neck Tee in Cement
I added their Classic Full Zip Hoodie to my wardrobe this fall and they check every single box for the makings of the perfect hoodie! American Giant actually started with hoodies. They were dissatisfied with the way clothes were made and built their business from the ground up based on honest human values. These hoodies are such impeccable quality – soft on the inside and thick and durable, made with custom heavyweight cotton fleece. I grabbed Garrett a few of their Men’s Classic Full Zip Hoodies and he loves them just as much as I do.
Four different belted looks featuring FOUR different ADA Collection belts. I’ve been in love with their high quality leather belts for six years and so many of you are now Ada fans too! Their tan Wrap Belt has been my personal favorite for a while, but they recently added a few new belt styles that I love:
This slip dress has been a favorite of mine, and I love it paired with this suede wrap belt and a cozy sweater. I finished the look with classic ankle strap heels.
I added a cognac leather belt to this neutral shirt dress and kept it pretty casual with some simple white leather tennis shoes. I love mixing neutrals for a classic look.
I love this rust shade for fall and winter. This black wrap belt is perfect for breaking up the color a bit in this monochromatic look. I brought the black in again with my shoes: these amazing penny loafers from Everlane.
You can’t go wrong with a blazer and a great pair of trousers. I love a classic black belt and black boots with this look. So polished and timeless.

Six holiday dresses with sleeves. I love a dress with statement sleeves and these are my top pics on the internet. See below for sizing and links! Which one is your favorite?
Deep emerald taffeta-like matte dress with pockets. I love that this one has a matte finish to it, so it’s not super shimmery. Cute bow in the back. The sleeves have a rubber stay in them too to keep them in place. Runs very small. Order 1-2 sizes up.
Brown plaid dress. This is the dress I wore for family pictures. It’s brown with cognac throughout. Almost a silk feeling fabric that falls really nicely. You can tie the velvet belt around the front or the back. So beautiful and fun to wear. Runs tts. Wearing a 0.
Black leather look dress. This is so fun for a holiday party. A little unexpected. I paired it with some great statement sleeves. It would also be cute paired with boots and slicked back hair. Black and white, but still festive. Runs tts. Wearing an XS.
Organza black dress with cotton cream bow. The muslin cotton texture of the bow adds a nice casual element, which is why I paired it with ankle boots. You can dress this one up or down. It would also look great with heels. Runs tts. Wearing a 0.
Dark mossy green dress. This one is gorgeous. Love the color. Great alternative to emerald. This one also has rubber stays to keep the sleeves in place. Also comes with straps at the chest, which I tucked in. The fabric is stretchy, and the dress flows beautifully. Runs tts. Wearing a 0.
Plaid ruffle dress. This is the same dress I wore for family pictures in another color option. I was expecting more of an emerald color from the website, but it’s more navy and black. The tie is black velvet with a bit of brownish taupe color, which I actually think is a cool color combination for a holiday dress. I tied this one in the front to show what it looks like. Runs tts. Wearing a size 0.
Modere is having their big Black Friday sale on all things liquid collagen starting TODAY, November 15, 2022. I like to call it my “liquid gold”. I’ve been taking liquid collagen for exactly two years now consistently and the results speak for themselves (see all my before/after pictures right here). Liquid collagen has a 90% absorption rate, where powdered collagen is only 30%. I took powdered collagen consistently for 3 years and never saw anything close to these results. My hair has never been this thick and healthy and my skin has never been better. Many of you are hooked on it too and now is the time to stock up or join in on the liquid collagen phenomenon.
If you are new to liquid collagen, here is a simple breakdown of the three products that I recommend the most:
Life: Liquid BioCell collagen – 3g of sugar, tastes like pomegranate juice, helps with hair growth, skin plump/fullness, joints. Take 2 tbsp per day (2 bottles lasts one month) – pregnancy/nursing safe
Pure: Liquid BioCell collagen – exact same as Life, just zero sugar, so it doesn’t taste as good. Good for those with dietary restrictions. Helps with hair growth, skin plump/fullness, joints. Take 2 tbsp per day (2 bottles lasts one month) – pregnancy/nursing safe
Trim: Same amount of Liquid BioCell collagen, also includes CLA, which is a multi-patented fat inhibitor and fat metabolizer. Chocolate is my favorite flavor by a mile. I’ve been taking this consistently for 12 months and have seen improved muscle tone. If you take Trim you also need to take Life or Pure to maximize your collagen results. Take 1 tbsp of Trim and 1 tbsp of Life or Pure per day (1 bottle lasts one month) – NOT pregnancy/nursing safe
The Black Friday sale is broken down into different groupings of products. There are a lot of them (and feels overwhelming to navigate), so here are the links to the best deals….
