Summertime Essentials for a Staycation at the Lake

July 22, 2020

This summer, it’s all about the staycation! That’s why I was so excited for a little weekend relaxation at nearby Lake Roesiger, where my friend Megan’s family owns the cutest little lakehouse. Of course, I had to pack all of the summertime essentials for the perfect day away from home!

Summertime Essentials

It was a beautiful warm sunny day as I packed up my car with a giant pool float and a bag overflowing with my summertime essentials to enjoy lakeside! On the list are the obvious, of course: a cute swimsuit, a giant beach towel, a sun hat, stylish sunglasses, SPF, and a change of clothes for later. However, I’ve rounded up a few additional things that made this warm summer day even more enjoyable.

For everything you need for a day at the lake and all of my must-have summertime essentials, keep reading!

February 14, 2020

Between my birthday, my friend’s Bachelorette Party, Galentine’s Day, and Valentine’s Day, it’s been a busy month of fun commitments with friends. The only problem? So many events mean A LOT of special outfits and not a much time to shop. Fortunately, there’s a service dedicated to helping you find the perfect occasion outfit and I’ve given it a try in this Allume Review!

How I Stay on Trend By Renting from Haverdash

January 17, 2020

The start of a new year means hitting the refresh button. I know many of you have made New Year’s resolutions, but does that extend to your closet, too? If you’re anything like me, then you’re trying to cut the clutter and reduce the overwhelm which extends to my wardrobe, too.

Haverdash Review // Wearing Modcloth Mock Neck Woven Floral Dress

In 2018, I was first introduced to the concept of renting my wardrobe. And then in 2019, I met Haverdash. Haverdash is a newer clothing rental subscription service providing unlimited access to the latest looks from boutique brands like 1.State, cupcakes and cashmere, French Connection, BB Dakota, Comune, J.O.A., and many, many more. I love keeping up with the trends and mixing up my wardrobe, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve purchased something to only wear it once or to find it hanging in my closet with the tags still on it. 

While I have worked to reduce these bad habits, renting my wardrobe helps me eliminate this problem completely. By borrowing the trend first, I can see if I actually like the style and try it with the rest of my wardrobe. It’s kind of like the revolving closet from Clueless that so many of us dreamed about when we were younger. (Who am I kidding, I still dream about this!)

If kicking off the New Year by renting a wardrobe with the help of Haverdash sounds up your alley, then read on for all of the details!

5 Easy to Create Carrie Bradshaw Costumes

October 29, 2019

I came down with a summer cold at the end of July, and to get me through my boring weekend of canceled plans, I began re-watching Sex and the City. I’ve always fancied myself a bit of a Carrie. While I don’t have the wild curly hair, a bad smoking habit of smoking, and have not been on nearly as many dates as Carrie Bradshaw, her creative fashion, carefree spirit, and freelance lifestyle have always appealed to me.

When it came time to think about Halloween costumes, I instantly knew I had to create some of Carrie Bradshaw’s amazing 90s and early 00s outfits. Today, I’m rounding up 5 easy Carrie Bradshaw costumes that you can re-create for your Halloween soirées, or like me, for answering the door for trick-or-treaters. Best of all, these costumes are all created from real clothes that I either had in my closet, thrifted or purchased on a budget making them truly do-it-yourself!

As we count down the days until fall officially begins, I can’t help but get excited for the cozier fashion options that await us!

Who says you can’t be comfortable and stylish in your favorite hoodie this fall? Incorporating this piece into your daily wardrobe is possible by styling it with other athleisure pieces, or flip the script and dress it up! While I wouldn’t recommend these outfits as business formal attire, they are perfect for weekend errands and get-togethers.
