At the beginning of this year, I made a commitment to myself to buy less and to buy higher quality. Part of this has also included supporting brands that produce items ethically and sustainably, and supporting smaller shops and labels as well.
Overall, my wish is to simplify my closet to only contain pieces I love and have thoughtfully curated.
I also love a simple approach when it comes to food. Eating nourishing, whole foods, with an emphasis on vegetables, is one of the best things you can do for your health and happiness. I feel my best when I’m eating simply!
Now more than ever I feel it’s important to shop with small businesses in mind and really rally around them. I’m just as guilty as anyone of shopping from big retailers, but I’m trying to be more and more conscious of where I’m spending my money, especially when I can support a friend in the process.
I thought I would put together a list of the small businesses I love the most! I plan to continually add to this post as I find more small businesses I love.
It has taken me YEARS to find the perfect everyday jewelry staples and brands that don’t start tarnishing or “turning” after a week or two. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t want to replace my jewelry every month, or even every year!
I’ve had this post idea for quite some time, but wanted to triple check that my recommendations were spot on first! All of these items have been showered in, sunscreened in, and overall worn day after day and still look good as gold.
A post about my favorite casual basics and staples came highly, highly requested on Instagram, so here we are! The older I get, the more I gravitate toward my basics and find myself wearing them over and over (and over) again. I’m to the point where I like investing in good quality basics too. I want them to be something I can wear repeatedly and want to love the fit.
I wanted to dedicate a blog post to one of my very favorite things right now — cute hair accessories! I love that they’re something everyone can get in on without a big investment. I don’t have the kind of hair where I can do amazing braids, volumized ponytails, etc. so hair accessories have been kind of a God-send for spicing up my everyday styles and keeping my hair healthier. So, I wanted to share some inspiration with you + lots of cute finds that I’ve rounded up and have on my wish list!
Over the long weekend, we went to the lake with family, which meant my first time wearing swimsuits in a few months! So, I kind of have them on the brain right now. I realized that I only own high-waisted bikinis right now (I really latched onto that trend) and that I probably need some variety. It’s SO hard to find a swimsuit that checks all of the boxes, and everyone needs a different fit and look and color palette, etc.
So, I scoured the internet looking for swimwear I loved and wanted to pass my finds along to you!
One of my favorite ways to transition into a new season is fresh accessories - they set the vibe for your entire look (#smallbutmighty)! They’re the perfect way to transition to a sunnier look, even if it’s still chilly at times. Today, shoes get to be the star of the show!
So much of my wardrobe and so many of my favorite brands are at Shopbop, so I love when they have big site-wide sales! Starting today (through Friday, 4/12) you can get 20% off orders under $500 and 25% off orders over $500 with code EVENT19.
As you may have noticed, I'm just a little bit obsessed with teddy coats and jackets! I've always hated wearing coats and feeling stuffy/bulky, but this is a trend that's equal parts comfy and chic.
