On the fray.

Sweater weather is finally here! I might regret saying this but I am very excited about brisk mornings and cooler temps. My friend and fellow Oak St. Social photographer was cursing me for saying this last week but there it is...I said it. 

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts and blog commenting last week. I was up to my ears in work. All good things but I just couldn't make this blog work. Let's see how this week goes! Be patient with me...and my giveaway ends tomorrow. Don't forget!

One of my favorite sartorial combinations has got to be frayed denim and sweaters - as exhibited here. It's perfect for mornings on set. When in doubt, layer it out. I can shed this sweater and just rock my cut offs with a basic tee by afternoon. Instant outfit fix!

I've been reaching for these J.Jill Frye boots often, too. After searching for years for the perfect, slouchy suede boot...I was thrilled to discover these. They're worn in just how I like and look equally as adorable with a long maxi dress as they do with shorts. You can never go wrong with a pair of Frye boots. I have a taller version that I've worn for 16+ years. They're the best!

Since it is Monday, just pair this whole look with a pair of oversized sunnies and you're ready to tackle the day. That's pretty much my cure for no sleep or lotsa sleep - it's the easiest accessory to rock on the hardest day of the week! 

Thanks for stopping by - missed you guys!

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!

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.
