Outfit

crop jumpsuit (runs large, chose one size down) // blazer // my bag in “cameo rose” or in black // sandals in “Rose Smoke Nubuck Leather”

If you read my blog often, you’ve definitely seen me talk about Vince Camuto. It’s hands down one of my favorite brands and I’m always keeping an eye out for new things to add to my closet from them. Their footwear is something I’m especially loving right now. The designs are fashion-forward and most importantly, comfortable! I mean, how cute are these sandals I’m wearing?
Honestly, I’m often on Nordstrom online browsing their shoes and will always stop at a Vince Camuto pair not even knowing its Vince Camuto. Their styles are that good! Maybe it’s their attention to detail, colors and flattering designs that earn their fan base. I must admit I am among them. One of my favorite pairs of booties in my closet is from Vince Camuto. It has a perfect pointy toe!
As far as the outfit I’m wearing, though, it’s so versatile! I love a comfortable jumpsuit – it’s practical for chasing after the kids but also stylish. You can also swap the tie belt for a large wooden buckle option. Plus, a good sandal is priceless in my book. And let’s not forget that nothing says spring like this blush jumpsuit, versatile white blazer and flattering sandals. How cute is this bag? I hope it doesn’t end up with cheerios in it.

Thank you Vince Camuto for sponsoring this post!


boots // bag c/o Furla and similar // jeans // top // blazer

Every Monday needs a power suit and I’m loving one in all white. Don’t forget the tide stick. Top it off with on trend snake boots, and a black textured bag. The jeans have a slight flare at the hem, perfect for featuring these cute boots.

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved wide leg pants. It’s the only thing besides a blazer that makes me feel like a true boss. I found these pants for a crazy price point recently and felt like I wouldn’t be a friend if I didn’t share. We are headed to Lake Arrowhead this weekend to enjoy the long Easter weekend. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I miss family and worry Levi doesn’t have any grandparents nearby. But thankful for this time of growth for our family and that HE IS RISEN! There is hope in the midst of whatever you are facing.

Wear the same color bottom (pants) as the top, it’s more flattering

Wear nude sandals or heels, they elongate the legs

Avoid super salty foods that makes you hold onto water

Fact: Everyone looks better with a tan (I find tan towels or towelettes easier to use but everyone has a different tanning favorite)

Happy Easter!

Just add snakeskin

by Shalice Noel

snakeskin blouse // white jeans // white mules // camel coat // snakeskin trench coat //

I’m giving leopard a break ftm, and giving the snakeskin trend a go.

There are a bunch of affordable options I provide below. Styling tip: pair it with neutrals like a camel coat and white or black jeans.

After all, a pop of snakeskin is a perfect addition to your spring ensemble. What do you think?

Stripe long sleeve top // Ankle strap sandal // Trench Coat // Wide Leg Pants (only $14!) // Chloe Faye larger or Chloe Backpack // Similar Chloe Sunglasses // Sandals

It’s that time of year when I’m scoping out everything spring. I was pleasantly surprised recently to find so many good things at Walmart.com! Have you checked out their selection? There are tons of fun pieces that are super affordable, which makes it really easy to try out new trends this season. I picked up quite a few pieces and wanted to share them to give you a little peek at what’s happening over on Walmart’s website.

More wide leg pant options:


My pants, stripe tee, trench coat, and sandals are all from Walmart! Loving the pants a lot because they’re a wide leg, which I wear all the time and love. The stripe tee is a good staple that I know I’m going to get so much wear out of. As for the trench, who doesn’t love a good trench coat? They’re classic and perfect for layering up during the spring. I currently have a few of them hanging in my closet, but if you need something affordable and basic, this option from Walmart.com is definitely the one to start out with.
What are you guys shopping for this spring? Are you looking for basics or trends? Whatever it is, if you want to keep it at an affordable price point, I highly recommend checking out Walmart’s online selection – there’s a lot of really good things happening!

Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post!

Anthropologie is having their 20% off everything sale, so I’m making a rare weekend appearance here on the blog to tell you. Anthropologie has been a long time favorite of mine from unique shoes, to throws for the cabin, gorgeous couches, and perennial favorite dresses. Did you know, one of me and Reid’s first dates was at his roommate’s wedding? I was wearing a black Anthropologie dress and so beautiful. Amazing how a good dress can put you in a good mood. Ironically, I caught the bouquet that summer night and we were married the following spring. So, is Anthropologie a perennial favorite of mine for around 20 years? Absolutely. Scroll down for some of my hand picked favorites for 20% off today. Which are your favorites?

I’m still NOT over leopard. Last week I scored this leopard duster on the Shopbop sale and haven’t looked back. The length was my main motivation for buying it and the softness, well that was the cherry on top! I got tons of compliments on it when I wore it Sunday. Since this one is in low stock, I’m posting more below:

Someone recently asked me, faux leather pants/leggings versus real leather and vice versa? I have to say, the curated wardrobe needs both. Here, I’m wearing faux leather leggings for soccer practice, a quick coffee run, and overall comfort. When I wear real leather pants , I’m usually going out. They’re more structured and the material is thicker. I wear them with a drapey tunic, or a sequin top for more drama.

Below are some cute trenches and plus one for the mister in your life:

If you are going to invest in leather pants, opt for high waisted. These are cute and I included some real leather options below:

Here’s my outfit details from today’s post!

If you subscribe to my newsletter, you may have already seen this. But if you’re like most people, we want to spend smarter in 2019. Do you agree? I did some research and found the 7 ways to spend less in 2019 from cutting your latte intake to staying in. Read on!

1. Say goodbye to joe.According to research, average American’s spends approx 1,100$ or $3 a day on coffee 

 Even if you just buy a $2 latte four days a week, you’d still have spent $6,149.98 after 10 years.

2. Stop collecting, start selling. There are some great sites out there where you can sell your goods: eBay, Poshmark, ReBag, etc.

3. Turn off the TV. According to research, you’ll save more than just on your electricity bill. You will be exposed to less spend inducing ads, end your cable coverage, focus on other things like a side gig, etc.

4. Stick to your list. Just ask Reid, I’m horrible at his, but when I stick to the list I save myself from the last minute impulse buys!

5. Break out the crock or insta pot. I just bought my first insta pot cookbook!

6. Going out or staying in. STAY IN! Save lots of benjamins when you stay in!

7. Cancel the gym membership you don’t use. download an app and do it with a friend for accountability

What about you, what ways are you spending smarter in 2019? I’d love to hear!

Nike’s on Repeat

So many of you asked about this outfit after I posted it on social this week. I love mixing high and low, casual and sophisticated. As for outfit details, my Nike’s are $90, worn with a trench, cropped jeans and a baseball cap.
