It’s about time we officially met.. 👋🏻

Hi, I’m Amber! After 12 years in the fashion industry (NYC to LA), I traded the coasts for the Midwest to raise my family. I’ve spent the last 10 years as a stay-at-home boy mom, and now that they’re a little more independent, I’m finding space for *me* again.

Now I’m back to sharing what I love most:

✨Styling tips for both fashion and home
✨Finding the best dupes for a designer look (without the price tag)
✨Beauty products that make us feel like our best selves
✨And of course the chaos that is mom life

I’m passionate about helping women feel like the best version of themselves—confident, seen, and inspired in every area of life. So excited to connect and share this next chapter with you. Thank you for being here!

Denim shorts and I are officially on a break— I don’t care if it’s 100 degrees outside. 😅

These ivory drawstring pants are what I’m living in. No tugging, no rigid fabric, no sizing up, no fighting my body to get dressed. IYKYK. 👖🫠

Follow if you’re tired of fighting with your clothes! We do comfy elevated options around here.

I’m not one to post myself in a swimsuit, but this one was just too good. Had to share. By @cupshe on Amazon.

In a size medium and I’m a 34 DDD

#LTKOver40 #LTKSwim #LTKootd

Love bold colors and prints for warmer weather. This fabric is thick and substantial with added scallop detail. No styling needed, just throw it on and go. Dress up or down. By @Commense

I bought a size medium, and if fit perfectly

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

The cutest nautical matching set for Summer. This could be worn every day or on vacation. Dress up or down depending on your shoe. The top has a drop shoulder so has a boyfriend fit. By @Commense

I ordered in a size medium, and it fits perfectly.

We don’t need a bigger budget.. we need a different approach.

I spent 12 years in fashion— merchandising, styling, retail— and the biggest thing I learned? Most of us aren’t short on clothes. We’re short on ideas.

That’s what this page is about: Minimal spending, but maximum outfits. Styling what we already own. Looking put together without the price tag. Feeling like yourself again, even on a Tuesday in the school pickup line.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you’re tired of staring at a full closet with “nothing to wear.”

And follow for more real-life mom style. ✨

#millennialmom #sahmomlife #momsofinsta #reallifeandstyle

I’m not the rich SAHM.. I’m the broke one. But after years of figuring it out, I’ve learned how to look and feel put together on a tight budget.

These are my go-to affordable self care tips—no crazy shopping hauls, no big spending. Just real life stuff that works.

Which ones do you already do? Comment below. ⬇️

The cutest matching Summer set @Commense that can be dressed up or down depending on your shoe. I have it casual here. 😍 I bought a size M and fits perfectly.

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

Walmart does it again with this romper. Waist hits at the perfect spot. I’m in a size M.

#LTKOver40 #LTKActive #LTKmomlife

If you have blonde or light lashes like me, you know the struggle. 😩

Most lashes look great on darker lash lines… but on us? They can look disconnected, unnatural, or just not quite right.

These @lilacst lashes finally solved that for me. Full coverage without looking fake or heavy. They actually blend with my natural lashes instead of sitting on top of them.

Game. Changer.

Some days, I don’t feel like doing anything for myself. But I’ve learned that showing up small still counts and does WONDERS for my mood, mental health, productivity— all the things.

So how do I show up for myself on hard days?

✨ I shower. It may seem like a given, but IYKYK.

✨ I get dressed. Even if I have nowhere to go and I’m home all day with the boys, I put on a fresh set. And perfume.

✨ I get outside for a walk, even if it’s just 20 minutes. The sun on my face makes me feel like a new person.

✨ I play music in the background, because music is life and proven to reduce stress hormones.

✨ I read a devotional. Each read is 5 minutes and pours so much into me.. it’s makes a huge difference in my day.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about being intentional.

We’re not just learning how to dress our new bodies..
we’re learning how to show up for ourselves again. Or maybe for the first time ever.

But seriously…
Shorts season is coming and I’m not letting that voice win this year.

You know the one. The “I can’t wear that” voice. The “my legs aren’t good enough” voice.

Here’s the truth: Your legs carried you through pregnancies. Through exhaustion. Through showing up for everyone else.

Whether you choose shorts, a flowy midi, or linen pants that breathe, the goal isn’t to “fix” anything. It’s to get dressed without the mental battle.

And if you still prefer to wear something with length— I got you. Warm weather content coming next. ☀️

Save this for when you’re staring at your closet dreading shorts season. 👀

These are some go-to outfit formulas when you want to feel covered, but also cool — without hiding in jeans all summer.

The goal? Get dressed without the 30-minute mental spiral.

Fun fact: word on the street is “matching sets are OUT.” But I’m not hearing that— not as a mom. A cute set is truly a mom’s best friend when their babies are the top priority. And we keep it real around here.

Linking my favorite, no tarnish Amazon jewelry.

#LTKmomlife #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

Spring on the horizon makes me want to refresh all the spaces, even the kitchen. What I loved most about this champagne bronze collection is the matching latch! Such a high end look and reminds me of my favorite interior designer.

Pro tip: I went with knobs on all the doors and pulls on all the drawers (various sizes). Then I chose a few focal cabinets for the latches, like above the fridge and under the sink. I couldn’t love them more.

This is for the version of you that keeps going quietly.

We do it sad.
We do it broke.
We do it tired.
We do it alone.

And even when it seems impossible— we keep going.

Because we refuse to settle.
Because we trust the process
Because we have faith in the timing.
Because we are breaking the cycle.

Maturing is realizing no one is coming to validate the hard parts.

So we validate ourselves.
And we keep building anyway.

Our home is a work in progress since we purchased an old fixer upper near the lake. Obsessed with finding budget pieces that look expensive and these do not disappoint! Love that they have the matching latch. Also linking a few other look-for-less finds.
