How to Style a Blazer Three ways
Blazers! I could write an ode to them, functional, structured jackets that turn any look from put on to put together. When I polled the audience on Instagram blazers were voted #1 for ‘item in my closet I love but don’t wear often enough.’ The situation is the same for me as well. I narrowed down two reasons why these great items don’t get worn enough: First, blazers have a connotation of being formal and we don’t have anywhere formal to go so they don’t get worn.

The trip up was a delight. The views from a cable car moving through the trees,…

My Favorite Farmrio Pieces That Got Me Through Quarantine
Farmrio is one of those brands that once you learn about them you can’t imagine ever having NOT known they existed. Why? Their bold colors, print mixing and perpetual ‘I could be on a vacation right now’ vibe is positively addicting. This post contains Affiliate Links. My first experience with Farmrio came in Fall of 2019 when I absolutely HAD to have one of their puffer coats. I was so impressed I made a full try-on video that can be found HERE. When I moved to Germany in March I was in need of a pick-me-up and some warmer weather clothing. Long story short, I landed and went immediately into…
