Through working at Nordstrom and shopping from them for years, I have uncovered a lot of really cool things that set Nordstrom apart from other retailers, and I want to help you discover a new brand too if you do not already shop there! Debunking a few misconceptions & sharing why I love to shop with them too!

So many of the items for Fall on ModCloth.com were so on trend with what we are seeing as popular in the next few months in fashion. They have a huge variety of midi skirts and dresses, bold prints in mustards and muted Fall tones, chunky booties & easy to style blouses. The variety of styles and sizes is what really caught my eye!

Old Navy is popping up everywhere with all of the cutest clothes this Fall! I have always loved that their clothing caters to SO many women; lots of inclusive sizes and flattering fits. They recently relaunched all of their denim with one consistent Rockstar fit. They took that same amazing, curvy, fits-in-all-the-right-places style and made it as the base for all of their denim. Styling the same pair TWO ways.

I love shopping at Urban Outfitters because they always have unique items and styles that you can’t find at any other retailers. I love that they are edgy and fun, have bold prints and designs, and you can also stock up on a lot of basics too! Some of my favorite pieces of clothing have come from Urban over the years and whenever they have a sale I always want to share it, because they have so many good things.

With Fall, of course, comes all the fun fashion & new styles. I love trying out new styles & finding ways to wear classic pieces in new ways too! When I came across this leather skirt on Bloomingdale’s website I literally fell in love with it haha. I loved that it wasn’t your typical black leather skirt; the deep maroon color is gorgeous and can be worn just as easily as a black skirt too. I love finding new ways to wear classic trends.

I think it is amazing that Nordstrom has chosen to create an in house brand that gives back and creates product with purpose. Treasure & Bond gives back 2.5% of ALL of their sales to different causes throughout the year. Right now they are giving the 2.5% back to WE, a program that empowers young people to create big changes in their communities.

I love the mix of sporty, casual, and street style that really gives such a variety of options for EVERY girl shopping at Abercrombie! And since I am on a this crafty/DIY sort of kick haha I have a few ideas for YOU to spice up your wardrobe! Wether you are looking to revamp and find the best deals on new clothes, or get creative with what you already own, I have some great ideas to have more fun with your style!

In the world of fashion, bold prints like leopard, snake and jaguar have taken over in the past few months, making them a clear front runner for prints of choice this Summer & Fall. We see leopard print in skirts, dresses, shirts, bags, and lots of different styles of shoes. I love that these bold prints can be worn as neutrals too!

I love to try new things & get outside of my comfort zone, and find ways to take style inspiration and make it my own. I love that fashion can sometimes get us to try (and fall in love with) new styles as we learn how to make them our own. Victoria Emerson bracelets and wraps are so fun because you can really find any style or color that best describes & represents YOU, and incorporate that into your daily style.

Okay I am having a major throwback moment as all of the retro sneakers have been coming back in to style this summer! Any time I wear my chunky “dad” shoes or these “grandpa” shoes my parents laugh and say, YUP we wore those too haha! Isn’t it pretty funny that every style comes back around at some point?

SO here is the deal.. TULA just came out with a brand NEW Super Calm Gentle Milk Cleanser & Super Soothe Calming Moisturizing Lotion just for you! This face wash + lotion duo is specially formulated to cleanse & hydrate even the most sensitive skin.

In the last two or three years skincare has become really important to me, because I have started to realize that it can really so so so much for the skin on your face. Not only does it help you look younger and more youthful, but finding a good skincare routine can help your skin be the strongest and most healthy it can be.

I asked YOU what your thoughts were on the Billie razor, and oh my goodness you ladies showed up with the responses!! Whenever you try a new brand I feel like there is always some hesitation in wanting to be like, “this is my FAVE product” because you usually don’t try something once and fall in love haha. BUT this razor is the exception!

When you wear makeup all day long, every day, your skin can get clogged and pores get filled with makeup that won’t come out with just a makeup wipe. I didn’t realize the importance of cleaning your skin, and most importantly, cleaning it with ingredients that were working for better skin.

In the Summer I always want something that is lightweight, low coverage, & that has SPF. I love the idea of applying a little makeup after leaving the lake, or going on the boat, or even applying it beforehand & not worrying about it looking like I’ve got a face full of makeup on!

I know a lot of you live in Seattle or the surrounding areas but have never been to Bellingham before, and I always get so many questions about it whenever I am there. I think if you have the chance to explore this quaint town about 1.5 hours north of Seattle, it you will really fall in love. Whether you are just making a day trip or want to stay a few nights, here are my suggestions for making it an amazing getaway!

Fashion Week is really an amazing opportunity to gather together to create, share ideas, talk about the future of fashion, what trends we see, get content, and create relationships! It gives us a chance to meet with brands in person, talk about clothing and style and share inspiration with one another for the next season.

Being intentional about setting aside time to recharge will help you feel more in control of your day. A lot of stuff comes up every day, but when you can learn to create some margin and space where you can relax and recharge, you are going to feel much stronger when you are going in to your day!

This Summer, Matt and I are making it a goal of ours to spend more time exploring the area around us; where we call home! It is pretty funny to think that we spend so much money, time and stress (to be honest sometimes it can be mostly stress haha) on traveling & exploring other cities, but we rarely think to explore our own!

I just got back from Malibu, a Young Life camp on the Princess Louisa Inlet in Canada, late last night! This is my 5th time going to this camp, and I thought since some of you have followed along with me for some time now, I would go into more details on my journey with Young Life & what camp looks like too!

If you are like me & live in an apartment, or even just want an easy hack for hanging curtains without damaging your walls, this is the perfect DIY project for you!

As Matt and I are coming up on our third wedding anniversary, I thought it would be fun to share a little bit more about our wedding & the details I get asked the most often about. I have to say, the biggest question I get is, “Where is your dress from?”

I love any gift that is meaningful, fun and unique. Here are some ideas that Matt and I have done for each other over the last 8 years that would be perfect for any holiday or celebration.

Around this time each year, we start to gather gifts for the people in our lives we love most! I love the tradition of giving gifts because it is a simple way that we can show love & generosity and thankfulness to the people in our lives who we are closest too.

Every Black Friday, Macy’s puts on a Holiday Parade right in downtown Seattle. I have always loved the hustle & bustle of it all because it really feels like that is what kicks off the holidays!

Sharing some Christmas and holiday inspiration! Tis the Season!

It is so important to get away and spend time together to really relax. A Friday-Sunday stay is just enough to get to experience Leavenworth, relax together, and explore Washington’s Playground.

Fashion Week in NYC has always been a dream for me! Taking you along the behind the scenes, and sometimes not so glamorous daily life during NYFW 2018!

Every September we have a tradition of going to the fair together! Sharing memories & photos from the years past.
