It’s official, I’ve jumped on the Chelsea boot, lug sole trend and am really loving it. So much so that I branched out from my usual black to a really pretty fawn color that I snagged during one of the recent sales. I wasn’t sure if they were going to make my feet look massive, due to the light color. Sometimes I find when styling a lighter colored shoe that has some height (both in the shaft and sole), a chunky sole and round toe, you can run the risk of it feeling a little clownish. But I am happy to report they aren’t as standout/overwhelming as I thought and I’m really excited to style the ..read more

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on this blog, but there a few reasons I’m sharing here today and that is because we have finally entered into my favorite season, which is fall! I know, that’s a fairly basic statement, but it’s true. I am crazy about autumn and everything that comes with it, and that includes the fashion. I love layering, and wearing chunky knit sweaters and plaid prints, but this year I think I have found the perfect fall uniform and it involves…the shacket. I have a friend who didn’t know what this was, so for those of you that are confused by that word, it’s a hybrid of ..read more

When it comes to shopping the big sales, I am usually pretty particular about what I buy and try to grab things I’ve had my eye on for a while. Usually that means the item(s) might be a bit on the spendier side, but that’s when I feel is the best time to take advantage of investing in something while saving money. Below I shared 12 of my tried and true, favorite finds from the Shopbop Black Friday sale (many of which I already own or just added to my cart)! Make sure to use the code SHOP20 at check out to save 20 percent on all Black Friday items. The sale ends Monday, November 30th at 11:59 E ..read more

I’ve had my eye on quite a few things from the sale this season and can’t wait until they show up at my door. I love this sale because it allows me (gives me an excuse) to gather up all the pricier items I’ve been “hearting” and finally pull the trigger, since the more you spend, the more you save! Case in point, this leather puffer is a piece I have been drooling over for months now, but haven’t been able to justify paying full price for something that I will probably only wear for a handful of months. Cue the percentage off when you spend over $500, I might be able to talk myself into it… An ..read more

Hi friends! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a couple days away?! My parents and I are going to take Murphy to the dog beach in the morning, then going to see the new Mr. Rogers movie in the early afternoon, before heading back home to prep for dinner. After that, the plan is to just relax, sip wine and watch some holiday movies post turkey dinner. So excited to unplug and spend some quality time with the fam since Friday morning is going a bit hectic… With that said, I’m sure you guys are incredibly aware of all the sales that are gearing up or that have already started, and I’l ..read more

After traveling to Copenhagen, India and Iceland for the better part of two weeks this past August, I had to quickly develop a daily uniform that was easy but also comfortable. For me, this consisted of leggings, a t-shirt, a comfy cardigan, a lightweight backpack, weather-friendly booties and a trusty hat. If you guys are in the market for similar items (that happen to be on sale!) then you are in luck! Shopbop is having one of their amazing sales, where they are offering 20 percent off orders under $500 and 25 percent off orders of $500 or more with the code STOCKUP19. It ends Thursday at 11 ..read more

A couple Sundays ago, Nate and I met my family at the quad on University of Washington’s campus to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. It’s a Seattle ritual and signifies that spring has officially sprung. I decided to fully embrace the blossom theme and dress in my new favorite floral tank, pink trench and white jeans, which I had been waiting all year to wear and was so happy the time had finally come. This outing totally inspired me to start shopping for the warmer weather and I found myself being drawn to light pastels, neutrals and the perfect pair of cropped denim in an off white or ..read more

Up until last week, I had patiently been stalking a certain pair of shoes that were basically sold out on Shopbop for months. And then, miraculously last week my size became available! I’m referring to the sneakers you see in the photo below. These red, white and blue Tretorns had my heart the moment I set eyes on them. The best part was that I knew they would live up to the hype I had created in my head, because I already own a pair in a different color-way, so I knew they would be comfortable and fit perfectly.

Hi friends, I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving! My family and I just got back from Leavenworth, which was so beautiful and relaxing, but I’m also looking forward to having a couple days left to hang at home on the couch watching Christmas movies and drinking hot cocoa, before Monday rolls around again. I am sure that you guys are probably getting bombarded with Black Friday sales, but I just wanted to share a handful of items I found (under $150!) from the Shopbop sale that are still in stock and super cute for either yourself or a gift for a loved one!

Truth be told, Nate and I began planning parts of our wedding before we were even engaged. We were friends for a long time before getting together so once we started dating, the whole process just happened fairly naturally. We didn’t know all the intricate details but we knew we wanted things to stay fairly simple and cost efficient. One of the first topics that popped up first was the guest list and whether or not we wanted to send out paper invites or use an online service. Luckily we both agreed that by sending them online, we would not only save money, but it was more environmentally frien ..read more
