Shop My Outfits Daily + Cute Comfy LEGGING Look

October 10, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am not a huge legging girl. Don’t click out. I do love them, but I usually wear jeans or trousers, HOWEVER, this fall I snagged a couple of really precious legging-friendly pieces that look a bit more elevated and stylish than the typically zip-up with legging combo [though that is iconic, isn’t it?] I share my outfits every day on my Instagram.

Nike Air Force 1 07s – These are iconic, and classic, and go with so many things! I wear them with leggings, jeans, dresses, and trousers!

Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece – This is SO comfy and the vegan leather makes it seem much nicer than if it was just a plain fleece. Because of the vegan leather, I plan to baby this when I launder it and do so by hand and when possible just Fabreze it 😉 I try to do this with sweaters to extend the life of the garment (but don’t worry, not if I am sweating or stinky!) I SIZED UP one so that this was legging-friendly, if you’re shorter you may not need to size up but at 5’7 I needed the medium to get it to completely cover my bum.

Point Split Hem Flare Pant – Call them what you want, in my mind are super thick nice elevated flared leggings, or as we called them in college, yoga pants.

Winter Boots From Walmart?! | Time and Tru Winter Boots Review

September 12, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

You will not believe the Time and Tru winter boots I found at Walmart! Last year I finally purchased a nice pair of Sorel Explorer Carnival II Boots and I wore them every day from November until May (that’s Northern MI for ya). When we packed up our home and made a large move this summer, a lot of things ended up in our storage unit and it’s packed so tight that nothing is coming out until we buy a home because it’s a literal hazard to try to get it out. I knew I needed something for this winter, but didn’t feel comfortable spending a lot since I know that I have a beautiful pair in storage. I was grabbing a few items for grocery pick-up last weekend and found these Time and Tru winter boots and I have to share them with you.

TIME AND TRU WOMENS WTR LACE UP DUCK

How cute are these?! Less than $40 and they are so darn cute in person. I haven’t tested them in the cold temps yet, and while I don’t expect them to be as warm as my Sorel boots, the fact that they’re rated for -5° is promising and the memory foam is super comfortable.

Product details

The Time and Tru ladies lace up duck boot will keep your feet warm and dry in style this winter. Featuring a warm faux sherpa lining & sock, and a quilted flannel upper, this boot is temp rated to -5F.

  • Womens Time and Tru WTR Lace up duck
  • Temperature rated -5F
  • Skid Resistant
  • Memory foam
  • warm lining
  • Polyester quilted upper
  • Fleece boa lining
  • TPR shell bottom
  • D-ring lace up closure
  • Polyester
  • Made in China

They also have a ton of other cute options like these Faux Fur Winter Boots (swooning!) and these Faux Fur Quilted Boots.

Do you have a pair of winter boots? Which brand do you have? I would love to hear from you!

THE *BEST* BODY SPRAY EVER? | ARIANA GRANDE CLOUD

August 29, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have heard that Cloud by Ariana Grande is a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540, the iconic and incredibly expensive perfume that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. I do not own Baccarat Rouge 540 but knowing that Cloud by Ariana Grande was considered to be a dupe made me excited to try the Ariana Grande Cloud body spray.

I wanted a bodyspray because I enjoy having a body spray to spritz on myself when I want a very light fragrance or in the evenings (especially after sunless tanning) when I want to smell and feel nice but don’t want my everyday perfume fragrance. I will say this body spray does fade quickly, but for my needs, this still works. My husband LOVES this scent, and I think I’ll end up getting the perfume. The base notes are musky and woodsy and the softer notes are sweet and vanilla.

Do you use body sprays? Let me know your favorites!

How-To Look Pulled Together as a Mom

August 1, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As a mom, you have to go from soccer camp to a meeting to (if you’re lucky) girls’ night and back home to make dinner and it can be hard to look pulled together since all of these things require a different wardrobe. Today I want to share my best tips for looking like I have it together as a mom, even when I don’t.

Create a Capsule Wardrobe

I started dressing in neutrals several years ago, and have been working overtime to be more conscious about what I’m buying. I began by grabbing things from Target and H&M, places I still love especially for basics, and now try to buy investment pieces as sustainably as possible. Having a capsule wardrobe means almost everything I have matches.

Plan Your Outfit the Night Before

I know, you’ve heard this before but it’s a GAMECHANGER! Each evening I think about what I’ll be doing the next day, what the weather is, and set out all of the clothes the night before. And I mean everything, including undergarments and socks. If I’m running I set out my running gear, and whatever outfit I’ll wear. If I need to change midday, I’ll grab those items too.

Add a “Third Piece”

A shirt and jeans are clothes, but toss on a hat or a great blazer and you’ve got an outfit.

My FAVORITE Blazer

Gorgeous Wool Hat

Steve Madden Bootie

Do you have a go-to style? Or a wardrobe piece that is a can’t-miss?

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I love a hat, and a summer straw hat, but when I’m at the beach or the pool I want to be able to have my hair up AND have my face covered by a cute hat. I found this woven sun visor that rolls up and is less than $20 and is available in tons of colors and I’m telling you, it’s a MUST HAVE.

The BEST Light Coverage Brightening Concealer | elf Flawless Brightening Concealer

July 18, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s summer and I am wearing very little makeup. I’ve switched up my concealer to the elf Flawless Brightening Concealer.

elf Flawless Brightening Concealer

About the Product

  • Hyaluronic Acid – helps provide hydration by locking in moisture and reducing water loss resulting in a plumped up, bouncy complexion.
  • Vitamin C – Antioxidant that helps brighten and rejuvenate the skin.

Luminosity is a click away! Create a brightened, flawless complexion with a flick of a pen. Use this buildable, brightening concealer to highlight all over your face. This luxurious but lightweight formula brightens and highlights your key features. Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, this formula works to conceal uneven skin tones.

All e.l.f. products are free from phthalates, parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone. All skincare is also free from sulfates.

My Thoughts

I love the clickable pen and I love that it isn’t thick or heavy for summer. I put it where I have undereye darkness and a bit on the outside corners of my eye. I use a brush to pat the concealer in and then like to set it with a pink powder. I wear Fair 10C

Have you tried this concealer?

Arched Mirror | Amazon Find

June 27, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have an office. This is huge. And I have to decorate it. I started with an arched mirror. I LOVE the anthropology mirror [me and apparently, everyone else, maybe I’ll get over it before we buy our next home] but for my office at our Gumseat Productions shop, I knew it was time for a mirror. Let me explain.

I create social media content for a living, and I’m taking a larger role in our screen printing and embroidery business, so having a large mirror that I can use to film reels for social media tips, fashion styling, and business content. I didn’t want to spend a lot but wanted something that looked nice and would function well. I read alllllllll the reviews on affordable arched mirrors and I am so happy with what I ended up with.

Amazon Arched Gold Full Length Mirror

I love that this mirror is full length, can be mounted (has D rings), or stands very well with the folding stand that has an anti-slip mat.

Do you have a full-length mirror? What’s your home decor style?

How-To Wear a Jumpsuit | Jumpsuit Styling

June 20, 2022 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am currently in the chaos of our move and I wore a jumpsuit the other day because most things are in boxes scattered all over our new bedroom floor and it was easy to grab a one-piece and toss it on. I received multiple compliments on it, which was nice especially because I felt anything but put together.

Jumpsuits are wonderful because they can be dressed up or down. I wear the same jumpsuits with casual sandals, heels, and sneakers. I will link a few of my favorites below!
