Hey, friends! I'm attempting the full-length jeans thing again and may have found a pair I love! I'm trying these High Waisted Rider Skimp jeans, which are straight leg and full length (on my 5'4" frame) but not baggy, and from our fav flattering jean brand, MOTHER. This pair is like the beloved Tomcats, but longer. In this video,...
It's been a long time (approximately one feral child ago) since I put together a packing list for a vacation. Growing up in New Jersey, we would make an annual winter trip down to Florida to visit my grandparents -- including the one pilgrimage to Disney World many northern children take in their lifetime -- and one week on...
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 Adiya Dixon Wiggins, creator of Yubi Beauty, originally made the Yubi brush to simplify her makeup routine.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...
Some of my favorite purchases start out with the phrase: "Well, these look stupid." I uttered those words before trying the infamous Nike Palazzo Pants i.e.: "The Original Stupid Pants." These Good Waist Palazzo Jeans by Good American were no exception.

These Good American flared jeans are stupid...in a...
Some of you may remember I reviewed these beautiful Emerson Fry block printed cotton caftans last year...but these lovelies always sell out...every year. (Not a bad thing though, because we love that EF does sustainable, small-batch productions.) BUT...there are a bunch of gorgeous options in stock right now so I thought I best get on it and talk about...
A few articles ago, I had a "bleh" (technical term) try-on of the '90s Cheeky Jean from Everlane. Oh how I wanted these under $100 jeans to work. "Might as well also try on the MOTHER Denim Tomcat Ripped Crop Straight Leg Jeans I've been putting off just to cap off this failed try-on sesh," I thought grimly to...
When I think about summer, I think of relaxing on the back deck and listening to the birds. I think about long days at the beach and fresh watermelon margaritas in the evening. I think about early morning coffee outside my favorite shop, ice cream treats before dinner, and deep restorative naps on the couch after a day in...
What's my trick for making any of my outfit pieces ready for spring and summer? The white blazer, y'all. It's been my favorite piece to grab for years for something a little more chic than a jean jacket and more upscale than a hoodie.
