One good thing about living in 2024 is that you can truly find a look for less for just about anything. There are SO many options out there at all different price points. I haven't done a splurge vs. save post in a while, and I could have kept going and going with so many great options.
My philosophy regarding wardrobe pieces and accessories is to buy the best you can afford, especially when it comes to classic pieces and staples. However, I've noticed many lower-priced retailers like Walmart, Kohl's, HM, etc., doing a great job of offering ..read more

Happy Friday! Do you all have any fun plans this weekend? We are going to dinner tonight, and we will go to my aunt and uncle's annual derby party tomorrow! It has been HOT here this week, so I plan to spend more time outside! This weekend's wish list is very blue-focused; it's not what I intended, but it's just how it happened. You all know I love blue and white, which is no surprise!
Some items of note...
- The new arrivals from Lilly are SO good. I love ..read more

I've shared most of the outfits I wore in Mexico to social media and the LTK app, but this one has yet to make its rounds, so I'm sharing it here first in a good old-fashioned outfit blog post!
This is what I wore on the last evening of our trip. We stayed at our resort for the entire trip. There were many bars and restaurants on the property. This was my favorite bar, El Detalle, which is in building three, if you are ever at Atelier Playa Mujeres. We had dinner at the Mediterranean restaurant, Cala Di Luna ..read more

Happy Thursday, friends! Apologies about the lack of blog post yesterday. I rarely miss a day in all of these years of blogging, so that should really illustrate how crazy things have been! But I am back and getting into my routine again. YAY!
Our trip was so much fun. Too much fun. In case you missed it, we went to Mexico with family and friends for a week for a wedding! It was such a beautiful wedding, and we had the best time. I truly did ..read more

Steamer
I had to look back in my Amazon orders to see how long I've had this steamer, and it has been well over three years. I have been using and loving it!
I love crisp white linens on my bed. It's such a simple pleasure for me. I love washing my bedding and changing the sheets frequently for that fresh bedding feeling.
Whenever my sheets, duvet cover, and shams come out of the dryer, they are usually a bit wrinkly. Years ago, I would literally iron my bedding. It would take forever, and sometimes, I would just let it be wrinkly because the ironing was so tedious.&nb ..read more

Are you all having a great week?! We sure are! It has been fun to relax and unwind with friends and family! You can follow along via Instagram!
This past weekend was fun as we celebrated my birthday! We went to the science center since they had the Titanic exhibit. I think this was the last weekend for it to be open. I thought the exhibit was nice, but I don't know that I would highly recommend it. I thought it would be more interactive and immersive. It was a lot of just reading plaques on walls, and I felt like I could rea ..read more

I am diligent about sun protection but especially in the summer months when I spend more time outdoors. I have tried and use a lot of different sunscreen brands. I was packing up for a tropical trip and thought I would share some of the sunscreens that I am bringing with me that are worth highlighting!
Many of these are available at a bunch of different retailers but I'll l ..read more
