The Official Color of Summer 2018: Lilac
It was absolutely everywhere during the Spring 2018 collections and now it’s official: Lilac is the color of the summer. Also the trend doesn’t seem to be a hint of the color like with most bold trends. Instead the preferred way to wear lilac is head to toe, which is exactly the kind of statement I can get on board with. Why Lilac is so Popular Pastel colors have been very popular as of late but that doesn’t mean they are easy to wear. Yet somehow lilac seems to flatter a large variety of skin tones. Perhaps this is why the appeal of lilac is so vast, anyone can wear…

Life Update: A Month off and What’s Next
It has been just under a month since I wrote my last blog post. Just under, because I actually published it late for reasons I am about to discuss. For the month of May I took my first ever ‘intentional’ month off from blogging in over 4 years. I wish I could say it was for ‘self-care’ or relaxing, but it wasn’t. It was out of pure need and a bit of desperation, but all is well that ends well. For those of you who don’t know, last year in March when I quit my day job to pursuing blogging full time.

The Best Skirt EVER from Ganni
There is a cult following behind the Copenhagen-based label Ganni, and for good reason. Everywhere you look you see ‘cool’ women throwing on their easy sweaters, dresses and separates like they were their favorite pajamas. ‘Effortless’ is a Ganni description of their Ganni Girls, a Copehhagan girl squad of women we all aspire to be.

Your buying options are Pipe & Row (thank you for carrying them!) or the internet, so when an opportunity arose to visit their Pop-In during Fashion Week in NYC I took…

Carats and Coffee
*Disclosure* This post was sponsored by JTV. I was paid for this post and received JTV jewelry pieces as compensation I am a bit of a cliche when it comes to living in Seattle and loving coffee, I can drink up to 5 cups per day and on average never consume less than three before the day is through. When it comes to espresso I am picky as well, the milk has to be steamed just right with nice fluffy foam otherwise what is the point? There is one thing though that I love just as much as coffee and it happens to also be a perfect accompaniment to it: jewelry.…

Spring Transitions with a PAWS Graphic Tee
One of my favorite things about fashion is its versatility especially when it comes to your expressing your mood. Fashion can be serious, bold, playful and downright outrageous. In the endless winter we seem to be having it’s that playfulness that I have been craving. One of my favorite items to add levity to a look while helping it navigate the seasons is this PAWS graphic tee. The graphic tee is a great piece to help transition your wardrobe from season to season. In cold weather it is an easy layering piece, when it warms up it becomes the center of your look. This year Spring has been a fickle…
