A Feminine Take on The Overall Trend

I was really hoping to have enough time this past week to deliver an IF:Gathering recap for y’all on the blog today, but it didn’t happen. I think sometimes (okay…all the time!) I get a little too excited with all the content I’m hoping to share with y’all that I fail to realize what I can actually get done in a day. No matter how hard I try to properly…

What To Do When You’re Having a Meh Day

Let’s face it, y’all – “MEH” slash OFF days happen to us all. Heck, lately I’ve been having more OFF days than I’ve had ON days if I’m being honest.

My mom has an insane collection and I always loved the way she could make (aka complete) an outfit with a classic-looking (or totally funky) statement belt. Aside from her chic-as-ever Ralph Lauren concho belt (#goals), she’s got a few killer Gucci belts that I’ve always admired (and,…

How to style a gingham shirt

Gingham is one of those prints that’s been around forever and never seems to go out of style. While I think the print is super cute and flexible, I do think it can be a tad overwhelming. If I’m wearing gingham, I like to break it up, like I did here. It’s actually how I like to wear a lot of the plaid-family prints like flannels, etc. Doesn’t the vest…
