Everyday Budget-Friendly Jewelry

I definitely love a good jewelry and accessories moment as much as the next girl, and one of my favorite brands to reach for when going for that low maintenance but still very chic/cool look is Victoria Emerson. This is a tried-and-true brand for me and one I’ve been wearing for years. Their wrap bracelets are iconic in my opinion – I feel like I can always tell when I…

Plans for our New Kitchen

Hi friends! I’m so excited to finally share a few things have been going on behind the scenes. If you missed it, Duncan and I recently moved back to Dallas after living in Denver for the past 14-ish months. I know, *very* quick turnaround! But you know, life throws you curveballs sometimes. I wanted to share a few plans we have for the kitchen (nothing huge, just little changes to…

Winter Activewear I’m Loving

Hey friends! Continuing my theme of cute winter finds this week with some great activewear from Nordstrom. Activewear is basically all that fits me right now, so I’m leaning into this vibe very hard LOL. Nordstrom has lots of great picks per usual like this fleece jacket that works with my bump now but will also fit great after baby boy gets here too. This is KEY for me right now. I’m trying to buy fewer maternity items because in less than two months I won’t be able to really wear them anymore.

Up until late November, we had so many things were up in the air, so it was hard to make plans.  But now that we know we’ll be in…

What I’m Saying No to This Year

When I was brainstorming New Year’s content, this topic is something that came to mind and I was intrigued by it but didn’t know if I wanted to write it. Sometimes putting this kind of stuff out there is cathartic but also can add pressure because what if I do something I said I didn’t want to on IG Stories for all of y’all to see?? This mindset definitely goes back to me being a perfectionist but I thought, ya know what? Maybe putting it out there will help hold me accountable! And I already know I’m not perfect LOL, so I guess there won’t be any real letdowns there.

Cute Winter Stuff Under $100

As much as I wish I could say winter is almost over or that we’re in the home stretch of cold temperatures, that would be a lie LOL. Duncan and I have absolutely loved the snow, but sunny and 75 sounds pretty dang good right about now. Anyway, it’s winter (and will be for a while) so I thought I might as well share some cute winter finds under $100!
