Thank you Merry Maids for sponsoring this post! When I moved to Houston from Toronto over a decade ago, I remember feeling surprised that everyone I knew seemed to have a cleaning service for their home or apartment. They’d rave about how it saved them time and they could enjoy their weekends without having to dedicate as much time to cleaning ...
Target Summer Dresses Try-On
Happy Monday! I've been waiting patiently for this black dress to be available online so I could publish this post! I love the bow detail and it looks expensive - like something you'd get at a department store. It retails for $39.99 which I think is great for the quality. I got an XS, but be warned you may want to size up if your chest is on the ...
Is Designer Denim Worth It?
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! Is designer denim "worth it?" Now that I'm older and a mom, I've come to realize how important it is to invest in pieces that make me look and feel really good - so I do splurge on designer denim occasionally (I also still purchase affordable denim!) AG, FRAME and Rag & Bone have ...
Gucci Belt Review + Buying Guide
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! A few months ago, I purchased a Gucci double-G buckle belt in the skinny version in the color "porcelain rose." I'd been debating one for awhile and once I saw a couple of friends wear it in this color and style, I knew it would be a designer investment piece I'd get a ton of wear out ...
Friday Five
What a WEEK! I had the craziest work week and I’m READY for the weekend. Hope your Friday is off to a great start and that it's starting with coffee, haha :) AN AERIAL VIEW I'm obsessed with Gray Malin's work, but his large scale prints are such investment pieces, that I haven't quite been ready to invest just yet. So when I found this 30 X 40 ...

Five Questions With Kilee Nickels, Mom, Entrepreneur & Creator/CEO of Nickel & Suede
I met Kilee about five years ago – we were roommates on a trip in San Fransisco where we were hosted by the StitchFix team. I loved getting to spend time with Kilee and learning more about her blog (One Little Momma) and burgeoning business (Nickel & Suede). We kept in touch via Facebook over the years and her family even made a pit stop at our ...
Affordable Summer Makeup + Skin Care Staples
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! I'm thrilled to be sharing a makeup and skin care post today that features affordable options from brands that have been beauty routine staples for me for years (plus a couple of new products too!) I'm a big fan of mixing high and low and that goes for my outfits and beauty routine. I purchased all of ...
Friday Five
O N E One of the questions I’m seeing a lot is whether or not natural deodorants still work in the summer heat and through workouts – the answer is YES (at least for me they do!) Now that I’ve been using Native for two years, I find it works incredibly well – even at the pool, outdoors, etc. It will not stop you from sweating, but it will stop you ...
Happy Birthday Kevin!
