I'm mixing and layering them with items already in my closet.

There isn’t really a good reason to dress up right now, other than remembering what it’s like to wear heels, makeup, or even a pair of denim. Maybe I’m just speaking for myself, but I’ve definitely been living in loungewear on repeat. And even though part of me is excited to feel more human again (one day!), it’s safe to say that I’ve become a big fan of comfortable clothing. Here are 8 loungewear brands I’ve lived in during quarantine over the past four months. What about you? Have you found comfy pieces that you don’t want to take off? Please share in the comments! Mate I am obsessed with this brand. They make pieces that are eco-friendly and so incredibly comfortable. I love that they are basic staples—no crazy patterns, no wild colors, just great basics. My pants in the picture for this post are sadly sold out, but these pants are another great option. This top is also super cozy. Eddie Bauer  I love a piece that is casual and can be worn outside and in. Eddie Bauer creates […]

Depending on where you live, there are no fireworks, no barbecues, no open beaches. But that’s all the more reason for a little retail therapy, in my opinion, so I rounded up 11 swimsuits I’m obsessing over this summer. Whether you’re a fan of one pieces, sporty suits, or bikinis, there is something for you on this list. I hope you take some time to relax this long weekend and maybe splurge on a new suit that makes you feel confident and sexy at the beach or pool (even if no one else sees you!)   EgoSwim Mya suit $45 We all need a little extra sunshine in our lives right now, and this yellow-and-orange suit is pure happiness. I love the plunging V-neck and side cutouts. It’s sexy while keeping everything secured. Ookioh Dominican bottom and Como top $98 High-waist bottoms are universally flattering and I like the underwire on the top. And more bright yellow…can you sense I’m trying to brighten my spirit through clothes these days? Tomboy X Swim 6″ unisuit $89  This brand extends to undergarments as well, and I […]

COVID-19 doesn’t seem to be easing up—cases in Texas are on a very fast rise—and we are all taking a hard look at ourselves and the racial bias in this country. It’s a heavy time, but I hope in a few years we can look back on Summer 2020 and be proud that we forged ahead with a more progressive, equal and brighter future. As I recently mentioned, I’m trying to do a better job of seeking out diverse companies and perspectives to feature on the blog. That change is reflected by what’s on my nightstand, so I wanted to show you some of the items I’ve been keeping close by. Of course, there are several books about racism and how to navigate a different narrative around being antiracist, and I’ve found a handful of beauty products from Black-owned businesses that I’m simply obsessed with. Read on to find out what seven items have a dedicated spot on my nightstand this month. And then let me know what’s on your nightstand right now in the comments below.

Some people love sunshine and beaches, but Jared knows that the way to my heart is a snowy mountain getaway. While everyone else is counting the days until spring, I’m all about curling up in front of a fire while wearing warm, cozy sweaters. It’s something I don’t get to do very often living in Austin! This weekend is going to be filled with snowboarding, skiing, and hot chocolate by the fire, and I am here for it. Packing was pretty easy because I have 7 cozy sweaters I’m living in this winter, and I’m bringing all with us! This pale blue Kohl’s sweater has quickly become a winter wardrobe staple. There are so many great things to say about it, the most important being that it’s reallllly comfortable. The material is super cozy and soft. And I love that the pretty pastel color makes it easy to wear into spring.  This Maggie Marilyn sweater has been another go-to for me this winter. The cut is incredibly chic and hugs my body in all the right places. Navy is my favorite color and this blue […]

It feels so manufactured to me, probably because it is! But I do think the Hallmark holiday can be a good reminder to celebrate love. And you can tell from what’s on my nightstand this month that February is all about love—and I don’t just mean love with a partner. Loving yourself by indulging with self-care rituals and celebrating the love you give and receive as a caregiver are equally important. The items on my bedside table this month, which run the gamut from a rejuvenating face mask to a ground-breaking book that examines the sex and emotional lives of women, are a mix of things that get me thinking about sex and self-love. Read on for the four items on my nightstand right now, plus an adorable sweatshirt that celebrates my biggest role of all: Mother. What’s On My Nightstand Moon Juice Sex Dust Add this blend of herbs to your morning coffee or smoothie to boost your sex drive, reduce stress, balance hormones, and even increase your creativity.

(Though if I’m being totally honest, I’d prefer to skip big holiday bashes. Small, intimate parties are more my jam.) Since I wear mostly jeans and T-shirts in my everyday life, I’m happy for any excuse to get dressed up. Breaking out a sexy dress, fancy jewelry, and sky-high heels? Yes, please! One of my favorite brands for holiday looks is Reformation. Their silhouettes are always effortlessly stylish and their commitment to sustainability is icing on the cake. Here are three of my favorite glam holiday dresses from Reformation, plus how I would accessorize the looks. Let me know in the comments: Which one would you wear to a holiday party? Lawrence Dress in Persephone I love the way this dress is cut. It has an A-line, mid-length skirt with a high slit that makes it sexy for holiday parties and versatile for the hot summer months. Wear it with this chic coin necklace and these thunderbolt stud earrings, both from ERTH. Dane Dress This dress is the definition of effortlessly sexy. I love that the long length perfectly balances the low-cut neckline, while the smocked waist and slightly puffed sleeves are also fun details. Sadly, this […]

The weather is finally getting cooler, which means I can pull out my boots, sweaters and jackets (layering makes me so happy!), watch as the leaves change from green to yellow to orange, and cozy up with my family over hearty stews and roasted root vegetables. I also love that it reminds me to be more present and enjoy family time before we launch into the chaos of the holidays—which inspired me to make a fall bucket list this year. Here are some of the things I hope to do this season with our family (or just for me). Check out my list below and let me know what your fall bucket list looks like. There’s even a graphic you can pin and print for yourself if you need some inspo! Spend one-on-one time with each of my kids As my kids grow up and participate in more sports and after-school activities, I’m finding it harder and harder to spend quality time together. And the older they get, I’m finding the more different they are and the more unique their experiences. For instance, Tom isn’t as vocal about what’s going on at school and […]
