Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

We are starting to slowly but surely starting to get chillier days here in the midwest, and that means that I’ve started wearing some of my favorite fall pieces again. I love clothes and I love fashion, but I’m also very realistic about my fashion choices because I am a mom of little kids and whatever I wear on a daily basis needs to withstand a lot! I need a wardrobe that is fashionable, affordable, and comfortable *without* looking frumpy! Whether you’re a mom like me who needs clothes that can go from the store to the park and maybe, just maybe, out to eat, or you’re just settling into your career and you haven’t quite made it to your dream clothing budget I want to share my favorite places to buy clothes!

HOW I SHOP:

I like to have a mix of high quality never-go-out-of-style pieces and trendy pieces. My style is classic and I love girly details. I like to throw in more trendy and edgy pieces that I’m drawn to, but I don’t wear every trend that comes down the runway. I often mix and match high end things, and very budget friendly things. I think that if you truly only buy pieces that you LOVE, you can make a $20 pair of boots look like a $200 pair and you can feel like a million dollars without going into debt. I try to buy things that are easy to wash at home and that I am comfortable wearing, but I definitely like dressier things for the rare occasions that I do get to go all-out. And, I would always rather be slightly “overdressed” than underdressed.

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that all of you had a wonderful weekend! I had one of those days yesterday where I didn’t realize it was Sunday until about 8p.m which is always a letdown ; ) But it was an incredible weekend! I haven’t done a lifestyle photo post in awhile, but I think that this event deserves one! My husband, Stephan, turns 30 on the 12th and he thought that him and I were celebrating on Saturday with a nice dinner out while my parents watched our little loves…all of this was true, but he didn’t know that 16 of our nearest and dearest were waiting at the restaurant to surprise him! He was SO shocked! His reaction was caught on film (thank you Nicole and Kayla!) and it is priceless! It would not have been possible without the input from our friends who thought of things I wouldn’t have, and helped me keep the surprise for months and months! And thank you to my mom, who helped me with all of the details and had it all set up perfectly. Stephan told me that it was the nicest thing that has ever happened to him. Thank you to everyone who took time out of your busy lives to be there for us and to celebrate this milestone birthday with my guy! I originally had guessed we would have about half of the people I invited show up, but actually nearly everyone did and it was awesome! We are very lucky people to know such incredible humans! I hope that you enjoy these pictures and if you’d like to watch his reaction the video will also be down below : ) If you’ve enjoyed this please don’t forget to subscribe and share! xx
