Holiday Gift Guide
The holiday season is upon us! Holidays are my favorite time of year. It’s so much fun to find the perfect gift for everyone. I made this holiday gift guide so you can too! What makes the perfect gift? Good listening. People usually tell you what they want, although they may do it indirectly. All year I keep a special note on my phone or planner. It lists the little wishes each person in my family has when we meet up for one occasion or another. It’s totally worth minding these details to see the surprised happy expression when they open a gift they wanted, but didn’t remember asking for.…

Casual Fall Style
As the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaches, so many of us travel home to visit with the family. If you’re like me, you’ll opt for more casual fall style so you don’t have to be so uncomfortable on a long weekend. This long tunic blouse is perfect for running around all day (I see you Black Friday), lounging in the house (I see you Cyber Monday), or spending time with family cooking up a storm (hey, Thanksgiving!). I never thought I’d find something more cozy than yoga pants, but these jeans are pretty amazing. If I had to hop on a flight though, I’d go for the yoga pants. Every time.…

Fall Capsule Wardrobe (aka Black Friday Wishlist)
Have you heard of a capsule wardrobe? The idea is that you limit your wardrobe to a certain number of items for 3 months, and purge the rest. This appeals to me for so many reasons in theory, but… I don’t know. To test it out and see how this may look for me, I put together this fall capsule wardrobe, which could also be thought of as a Black Friday wishlist. The details of capsule wardrobes vary. Project 333 invites people to wear 33 items or less for 3 months. Into Mind is a similar minimal style project. Caroline Rector, one of my favorite capsule collection bloggers, uses her…

DIY Cat Ears
Does anyone else see cat ears everywhere these days? They are so cute! These diy cat ears were made with a beautiful eyelash lace over a stretchy knit, but you could easily make them with or without the underlayer. They would also look really cute with a different kind of lace underneath so the light could shine through the ears. This is officially my favorite DIY to date! I’d like to make multiple versions – even to leave off the lace and embellish the frame with pearls, rhinestones or flowers for a playful everyday (night) look. DIY Cat Ears Materials 2 8-Inch Lengths of Floral Wire (Jewelry or industrial wire…
