Baby blues.

If an outfit could sum up last week's mood...this would be it. Kinda under the weather but wanting to appear pulled together. You could officially say preschool germ season is in full swing. Mama got her fill last week. Just to be able to taste coffee again seems like a luxury!

Let's talk about details, shall we? Because when you're in a rut...the details get you by! This bracelet lends just a hint of subtle pastel pop to my monochrome attire. It's also great for added texture!

If there's one die-hard sartorial rule I live by...it's always wear great shoes. They can transform any outfit. Even if you have a raw nose and kleenex spewing out of your pockets. Pretty right?

Since I'm from Chicago, it seemed only fitting that I break down and get a jacket for my lobes. An ear jacket that is! These Queenie Ear Jackets are such a conversation starter. I wore them two days in a row!

Snag both my earrings and bracelet from Cherrypick! It's the most adorable accessory site. Use my promo code 101THINGSILOVE15 and take 15% off your entire order!

I also want to introduce you to another great accessory site: Happiness Boutique. I can't tell you how many times I've thrown on my Charm Necklace to add interest to my ordinary chambray tops and just about any sweater in my closet. They offer free shipping as well as a customer reward program! 

There you have it...how to get by with a severe sinus infection. As they say...fake it till ya make it! Happy Monday babes! Only 5 more days until we can exhale again...

Hi! Long time no write. I was in a bit of a writing funk while simultaneously managing a heavy workload and well…you know the rest of the story! And while this is clearly not 60 days worth of outfits, I can tell you that these looks ranked the most popular in both affiliate sales and feedback. It only made sense to share!

Boot season is just revving up which means it’s time for you to start thinking about styling options within your very own closet. I shared 25 of my favorite pairs last month but today we are going to talk about the versatility of the infamous lug boot. This does not mean that you should donate your favorite combat boots, Chelsea boots, ankle boots or knee boots. Keep those!

Feel like a million bucks with these basics.

Okay friends, we know Fall is peeking around the corner and while I think it’s safe to say that none of us are ready to discontinue pool days…the reality is that we have no choice! I am officially embracing a new season. And it’s likely due to my kids starting school this week.

You have officially entered Gemini season. We’re a passionate group of individuals and it just so happens that one of my nearest and dearest friends was born the day before me. <I’m the older sister but I digress> And if there is one thing that Geminis embrace, it is change. We get bored very quickly which is a testament to the amazing men we married because they keep us loved and entertained beyond measure!

Spring is a time for new beginnings. And there are so many in comparison to last year’s Spring. While much of the world continues to be on the mend from such a tumultuous year, I continue to feel optimistic that better times are ahead. Don’t forget to support your local, small businesses so that we can make up for lost times!

A year later…happier dresses, happier times. We’re seeing more vaccinations, less mask mandates, more in-person get-togethers and overall, a heck of a lot more joy. This Spring is so very different then Spring 2020 and I am grateful for that.

Phew! We are back! It was all things wonderful and after many DMs, I am sharing the looks my family begrudgingly captured. Cue the grunts and groans!

Happy Shopping! xo

The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.
The print I will never tire of... houndstooth.

…and just to prove how extra I can be, I paired this ensemble with a houndstooth tote. A bit much? Perhaps. My coat is on super sale so grab it now! I’ve been wanting one for years and this oversized version fit the bill. It’s all about the details. The ruched sleeves, the oversized lapel and the large-scale pattern. I will never tire of houndstooth. This is a print for all generations.
