Basking in the dog days of summer for KC Homes & Style in a printed corset and affordable denim. This post contains affiliate links. My summer vibe of late has been cool neutrals with a fun twist. Last round it was neutrals with a pop of bright blue, but today I’m all about a printed jacquard corset to jazz up a simple look. This corset features light boning, a zippered back (easier entry, for sure!), and a Western-vibey horse print. Yes, I said horse print. When I saw this, I knew it had to be mine. It’s a lot of shoulder and clavicle, which looks great with a (faux) tan. I wanted to stri ..read more

A linen blazer and trousers? Yes, please. Let’s do it all with some cobalt blue, while we’re at it. This post contains affiliate links. We’re getting our first taste of 90-degree weather here in KC, so I’m dipping into my linen collection. A white linen blazer with a vertical blue stripe and a pair of beige linen trousers combine to create a chic early summer linen suit. (This can be seen in the summer issue of Kansas City Homes & Style, which is out now!) Who says a suit has to be purchased as a set? You can create your own vibe by mixing and matching pieces from your closet– just choose ..read more

A sweater set for early spring strikes a nice balance with lime green strappy sandals. This post contains affiliate links. I love a good set. It just makes outfitting so easy. You don’t have to think; you just throw on and go! This pink crochet sweater set is a solid example, which you can find in the May issue of KC Homes & Style. That punchy pink and white combo caught my eye straight away, but what really prompted me to snag it was the fact the sweater material and longer sleeves would make it perfect for early spring when temps are still cool. I wanted to add some additional punch with ..read more

A dreamy corset dress with the It Sneaker in a pretty sage green color. This post contains affiliate links. With spring just about a week away, it’s the perfect time to talk transitional spring style. KC is starting to bloom out and green up, but temps are still relatively cool most days. I’m starting to work in spring trends, like this floral corset dress, but pairing them with warmer pieces to walk that winter-to-spring line. First thoughts on the dress: really pretty, right? That floral is the daintiest and the corset detailing creates a beautiful waist. This dress style is just so romantic ..read more

Dark, cozy neutrals for the holiday season, starting with a versatile satin skirt. This post contains affiliate links. Thanksgiving week is here, what are you wearing? I think I’m mixing it up this year and going a little dressier than I usually do in this chocolate brown sweater and black satin skirt. (Psst, this look is featured in the holiday issue of Kansas City Homes & Style, which is on stands now!) The satin skirt is a major part of any trendy fall wardrobe this season. From baby tees to blazers, you can find it paired with everything right now. I wanted to try it with an oversized ..read more

Cherry red is fall’s hottest color– here’s how to wear it. This post contains affiliate links. Fall is here! How has the new season been treating you? I love being able to dip back into my sweater and blazer collection, starting with this cherry red blazer. Well. more accurately: blazer dress. I repurposed this dress (last worn during my platinum era) as a longline blazer for the October issue of Kansas City Homes & Style. Red is seriously having a moment as part of the fall fashion lineup; from boots to sweaters, it’s everywhere. Yes, we normally reach for this jewel tone during the holid ..read more

A cotton dress in saturated citrus in the new KC Homes & Style issue. This post contains affiliate links. After my khaki moment earlier this summer, I decided to take this tangerine cotton dress for a spin. We’re in the dog days out here in Kansas City! High heat and humidity are the only thing in the forecast, so I reach for breathable pieces above all else. Cotton to the rescue, just in time for the July/August issue of KC Homes and Style. This dress is a really simple cut: a shift with a muscle tee shoulder. The cotton has a little ribbing, which gives it a lux touch. It’s not bodycon ..read more

A bright green power suit leverages a vest as a top for a warm-weather vibe. This post contains affiliate links. As much as I love a neutral moment, there’s something about dressing head-to-toe in a bright color. And brights just feel like the right move as we move into warmer weather. A Kelly green vest and trousers pair perfectly with all the green outside as nature comes back to life, and these pieces combine for a serious power suit situation. After scoring this suit at Mango (in Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, how appropriate), I had to bust it out for the May issue of KC Homes & ..read more

Spring-ready in this gorgeous baby blue tweed blazer. This post contains affiliate links. Even though the weather hasn’t fully turned in KC, I’m definitely ready for some spring style. So ready or not, I’m breaking out the spring hues with this baby blue tweed blazer. It’s so pretty, I had to make it the centerpiece of the outfit for the March/April issue of KC Homes & Style. A pair of beige culotte jeans and a cream tee provide the outfit’s base. These pieces feel winter white in December, but Easter ivory when worn in March. To end cap the look, I wanted a statement shoe. These velvet We ..read more
