I ordered Naadam's sustainably made Balloon Sleeve cardigan, and I know what you're thinking: "S? You feeling OK?"
I get it. My long-stated position is that I'm NOT a cardigan girl (I think it was the combined six years of nursing that did me in), so why on earth would I buy a cardigan? In a soft lilac color no...
Agolde seems to be one of the most-loved brands when it comes to denim shorts. They have been on my radar for years, and finally, after most of my shorts got too small for my post-quarantine body--or maybe my summer clothing storage box had shrinking powers--I had to find new pairs I loved.

Jackets and I have a volatile relationship. I either look like I'm about to morph into the Hulk (gotta love those swimmer's shoulders) or like I'm borrowing my dad's jacket, but not in a cool way. Layering with cute jackets always felt out of reach for me.
Until I got my hands on the Free People Rumors Denim Jacket.

I ran across this gorgeous ivory blazer from Ann Taylor when I was recently pulling together my spring and summer workwear capsule. Being the blazer fan-girl I am (and I don't just mean the Portland basketball kind) I had to try it. Turns out it was worth the try! Wowza. I love it!

I love Everlane's jeans, you guys. I found two pairs of those perfect not-skinny-but-not-mom-jeans that are so hard to get right. And they go with everything.

One is their Super-Soft Relaxed Jeans that I'm wearing in white (well bone, technically) and the other is their Way-High Jeans that...
I love a trend, especially a '90s shoe trend. When Steve Madden brought back their legendary Slinky Black Sandals I squealed with delight and was immediately transported back to boy band wars, Trapper Keepers, and trips to Claire's to see how far my $20 in babysitting coin could take me.
Unfortunately, nostalgia did not supersede reality and the sandals...
A lovely reader wrote in recently asking for help with summer workwear options. While I haven't worked in an office for quite a few years, I have a deep love for gorgeous pants, blazers and pretty color combos when it comes to workwear. I found myself pulling this together and wanting to find some occasions to wear these to...
I've found that raincoats tend to be either water-resistant (therefore eventually succumbing to the elements)...or, if they're really-for-real waterproof, the jacket is often a little stuffy, rubbery, stiff, or--at best--not that breathable. Truly waterproof raincoats haven't been--to date--the the most comfortable thing to wear next to my skin.
So when Mike and I found ourselves back in Philly, in...
This makeup brush is a game-changer, friends. It applies foundation (and blush and highlighter) flawlessly...with zero learning curve. Adiya Dixon Wiggins, creator of Yubi Beauty, originally made the Yubi brush to simplify her makeup routine. She wanted a way to apply makeup that was fast and easy and didn't require a bunch of different tools.
The Yubi brush is...
I've referred to it a time or two since, but if you weren't around last spring, you may have missed that time when I broke up with Madewell. As a long-time fangirl, it was a rough realization that maybe their clothing just isn't right for me??
Madewell jeans have been my absolute go-to over the years...before I was brave enough...
