Wedding ready 💒! We had a wonderful time at a family wedding this weekend. I’m really happy I went with this gorgeous, structured dress—it was such fun to dance in, and I got so many nice compliments!
I'm wearing a size 6P. The length was perfect, no hem needed.

Today, I’m out running errands wearing my comfortable soft pinstripe wide-leg jeans from LOFT, paired with a relaxed navy blue top. I’ve styled them with patent leather-tipped navy flat shoes and a timeless bag for a polished touch. My Radley of London leather bag, which I’ve had for several years, remains a favorite—spacious and with classic lines that never go out of style. I’ve also tagged the Arlington style, which is a close second and has silver hardware if that’s the look you’re going for.
To complete the look, I’m wearing my tortoise shell glasses, which add a nice finishing touch.

❄️ Winter Style

When you buy the same sneaker THREE times… you know it’s good. 👟🤎

These are hands down one of my favorite Adidas styles. They have that updated retro, ’90s-inspired look that’s everywhere right now, but with the comfort of a modern sneaker. They’re super cushy and seriously feel like you’re walking on a cloud.

And can we talk about this COLOR?! 🤎 It can be surprisingly hard to find sneakers in beautiful Autumn and Spring-friendly shades, and this warm cognac/rust is such a good crossover color for both palettes.

One thing I’m always careful about with sneakers is bulk. I have tiny ankles, and some chunkier styles can make my legs look like little toothpicks sticking out of my shoes. 😂 These have just enough substance without overwhelming my frame.

This is my THIRD pair in the Grand Court style, so that probably tells you everything you need to know. 🙌🏻 Comfortable, cute, on-trend and so easy to work into a warm-toned wardrobe.

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐 We're spending the weekend visiting family for a graduation, and we decided to stay an extra day to celebrate this special occasion. Now, we're getting ready for a lovely brunch. Wishing everyone a warm and joyful Mother’s Day!

#LTKMothersDay #LTKmomlife #LTKootd

Spring's vivid colors continue to brighten storefronts and find their way into your wardrobe. Cardigans and cropped pants remain popular choices. At the gym, these color trends are slightly more vibrant. Neutral accessories in cream, gold, brown, and taupe complete the looks.

🌸 Spring Style

Embrace the beach vibes with the current trending summer colors in lilac and light blue. This scoopneck ribbed T-shirt from Talbots is my absolute favorite staple in my wardrobe—I've got it in so many colors! It always fits perfectly and radiates that perfect summer vibe. Just add a comfy pair of flip-flops to keep that relaxed feel. I’m wearing a petite small. Also, light wash cropped wide-leg jeans are right on trend and give off that fresh summer look. Remember to pair them with flip-flops to keep the style easygoing and fun. I'm wearing a regular size 4.
Flip flops in size 7, I'm

Yes, these Brami tops from OGLmove are supportive! I’m a 34D, and you can see from the side that there’s no sagging 🙌🏻. I was a bit skeptical when I placed my order, but now I’m convinced. I’m wearing a size small. The top is well-made, thicker than I expected, ribbed, very soft, and comfortable with plenty of stretch. When it arrived, one of the cups had a dent in it. I quickly contacted customer support, and they provided instructions on how to steam the dent out of the cup. It worked perfectly. I also bought two other items that didn’t fit quite right, and Customer Service was fast to assist. If you’ve been hesitating, don’t wait any longer. I recommend sizing up if you want a bit more room in your top.

We're finally on vacation and heading to a lovely dinner at Narcoosie’s at the Grand Floridian in Disney World. I really love how easy and comfortable this dress is — it’s perfect for a casual yet dressy look. Made from soft T-shirt material with a little stretch, I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it. The beautiful blue and butter yellow print pairs perfectly with the navy blue, making it even more stunning.
At 5’3” tall, I am wearing 4 inch heels to keep this dress off the floor. So if you are petite like me, keep that in mind.
i’m wearing a size 4.

The hottest fall colors… right down to your nails. 🍂💅

Olive greens and brick reds are making a big appearance this year, and these are two of my absolute favorite picks.

I’ve had the hardest time finding the right brick red—warm, rich and earthy without turning too burgundy or too bright. This one finally nailed it. 😍 And that olive green makes the perfect fall accent. 💚

Fun fact: I actually make my own press-on nails! I use blank press-ons and long-lasting polish to create my own sets, like the one I’m wearing here.

The olive green is a quick-dry formula, and that gorgeous brick red is a one-coat wonder 🙌🏻 — which makes doing my own press-ons even easier.

I’ve tagged several ways to get the look—traditional and gel polishes, ready-to-wear press-ons, plus the blank nails along with the tools I use if you want to create your own. 🍂#FallNails #FallColors #AutumnStyle

Autumn colors in the summer 🍂☀️

Who says rich Autumn colors have to wait until September?

I paired this linen wrap skirt from LOFT with a V-neck crochet-trim tank from Talbots for an easy summer look in some of my favorite warm, rich shades.

The lighter fabrics, bare arms and simple sandals keep these deeper colors from feeling heavy—even in the middle of summer.

And these Talbots sandals are from a previous season, but this is exactly why I hang onto pieces I love. Paired with the right colors, they work beautifully year after year. 🤎

Your season is your palette—not your calendar. 🍂

I’ve linked the pieces that are still available along with similar options!

This is a comfortable, casual Valentines Day outfit to meet up with your friends or to go out on an adventurous date.
I’d wear this outfit several times over the cooler months.
The Vera Bradley tote is perfect for holding all your mom items or boxes of chocolates to give out 💕 I love how much my Vera Bradley tote holds!

The denim suit. Always a classic.

I’m wearing my favorite denim jacket with my new pinstripe wide leg jeans from LOFT, and a classic off-white button-down shirt. I’ve got my favorite Vera Bradley tote in tow. I have loved wearing my navy shoes from Talbots this season. They have a little bit of a wedge and are very comfortable. I’ll tag something similar since these were from a few years ago.
Thin belts are coming back into style and the one I’m wearing comes in a pack of three! Affordable, versatile, and they stretch.

I’ve been talking about this jean jacket since the fall. It is fitted, without a collar, classic lines and very comfortable. I love the color. It is dark but bright and warm.
I love the pinstripe wide leg jeans. They are light enough to wear when the spring and summer comes. We live in a warmer climate so I’ll get a lot of use out of them throughout the seasons. These are very popular right now and selling fast.
I’m thinking about purchasing another Vera Bradley tote because I love the quality, durability, and versatility it provides. It’s not only the perfect Mom tote, but I love it for running errands, and throwing my iPad in for when I want to write on the go 💕

All of these pieces will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe and pair nicely with everything you own.

Two top trends this year that are heading into 2026: Lace and sequence
When paired together in the same undertones, warm or cool, you create a harmonious look. A tan or nude shoe elongates the legs and keeps focus on your ensemble.

Meet your new favorite versatile, on trend outfit. Lace and wide leg pants are all the rage this year. These pieces are not only on trend, but they look classically styled.
I love the bell sleeve lace top. It is very soft. The sleeves are just enough without overwhelming me. I’m wearing it in a size medium as this top tends to run small. As I’ve said in other posts, you need a cami underneath it. I’m wearing a white one under mine in size small.
The pinstripe wide leg trouser jeans are a blast from the past with an updated modern look. I went with the average length which is a tad bit long on me, but I felt the petite was too short for me. I purchased an average 4, but I could have sized down to a 2 so be mindful of this.
This outfit is a great way to get some pieces that are trendy, yet can be worn many different ways, and for many different events.
Separate them and wear them with the other pieces in your wardrobe.

Magic Kingdom day called for some layers and waterproof pants. I’ve got a pair of Palmer shorts underneath my LOFT Wanderweave pants. These have those great zippers at the bottom so I can quickly take my pants off when it gets warmer.
A lightweight top with a cami underneath is a stylish way to layer. No need to remove the top layer, but I could if I wanted to.

Not shown in the picture, but definitely something I highly recommend, the backpack that I tagged. It was recommended in many travel groups, and I’ve gotten a lot of use of it on our trips. It has an inside insulated pocket to put your water in and it’s extremely roomy for putting those extras you’ll need during the changing seasons.
Tip: Bring a lightweight rain jacket, because you never know what Florida weather you'll encounter this time of year. It’s perfect for Tatiana‘s Bayou ride as well if you're going early in the morning and want to avoid walking around the park wet and cold.

I decided to try out this new trend I’ve been noticing at the gym over the past few months—showing off compression socks. I’ve seen both men and women wearing them with gym shorts, over their leggings, or with cropped leggings like this. Actually, it’s not so bad! My tank top also got a fun update thanks to my daughter and her circut machine, with a funny saying and picture that I love.
Will you be trying this new trend?

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKActive

I train every day of the week, but I prefer walking on certain days. On those days, I like to wear my long sleeve tops with comfortable workout pants and my Brooks running shoes, which are my favorite sneakers. Many people who teach at our gym also choose Brooks because they offer excellent stability, comfort, and durability through many heavy workouts. I’ve had my top, bottom, and sneakers for several years now. Investing in quality workout gear like these can really last you a long time and make your workouts even more enjoyable.

I had the pleasure of trying on this dress. It is true to size, very soft, well-made, and has built in cups. If I had a special occasion to wear this dress, it would be hanging in my closet right now. If you’re looking for that perfect gown, this is absolutely gorgeous!

To see all my wish list, and favorite items, go to my gift guides. I have everything I love to use and wish I had in one place.
Brooks are by far my favorite sneakers to wear while working out. They offer stability, comforts, and the support I need on tough days. I own three pairs. Adrenaline is my favorite style because of the wider toe box.

I love my red V-neck sweater! Made to be oversized, I have the extra small. It pairs well with jeans, slacks, skirts, and it can be worn over a collared shirt.

OPI is one of my favorite brands of nail polish. Long lasting and wears well.

I have a feeling that gym bag is under my Christmas tree 🤞🏻 I did a lot of research and I wanted a bag that could hold my extra pair of shoes as well as my yoga mat and a large water bottle. This one looked like a winner and I dropped a few hints 😉

Love the fold up yoga mat, and the E.L.F. lip oils should be delivered by Christmas Eve.

I finally got a pair of Tasman slippers and cannot recommend them enough! The hard soul makes them durable and versatile. As always, very warm and comfortable.

I don’t have the oura ring yet, but my daughter wears hers all the time and loves it. She said it gives her the readings that make her workouts better.

And who doesn’t love a pair of fuzzy pants, especially Vera Bradley fuzzy pants!

Head over to my gift guys and check out more of my favorite items. You may find your new favorites.

Warm, knit, and textured baseball caps are this season‘s trends. They are a dressed up version of the average baseball cap bringing a polished look to your outfit.
I personally love hats with a brim. They block out, glares from the sun, as well as adding an extra layer of protection for your face from the elements. I tend to be cold even in the south. These keep my head at the perfect temperature, not hot at all, keeping the cold out. I tend to love neutral colors because they go with everything in my wardrobe.
If you love the pair of knit hats, they come in several different colors, including black.

As mentioned, this is such a simple routine, even if you aren’t going to the gym or don’t have a busy day.
The eyeshadows I use are the eye brighteners in the creamy formula with a little bit of shimmer. I think they are more forgiving on mature skin.

To get my natural look:
•I’m wearing brilliant eye brightener in Stella on the entire lid and Tara in the crease.
•Infinity Waterproof Eyeliner is Nalie
I use their mascara after going to the gym because I find it flakes on my face when I sweat for two hours straight. I would still recommend it for every day use. It defines and lengthens your lashes.
•A great alternative if you are looking for a waterproof mascara is Dior show. Love that one too!
•Long lasting Lipliner in Maureen
•Lip plumping peptide gloss in Bambi
•Mineral Foundation Powder in Light

Not mentioned, after washing my face and getting out of the shower, I finish my skincare routine before applying the rest of my make up. I will link that for you as well 💕

Tired of salon prices? Make your nails beautiful at home!
Several years ago, I ditched the Salon prices and started doing my manis and pedis at home.

Two years ago, I started making my own set of press on nails.
Once I got the hang of it, it was super easy to make a set and put them on.
I love the full gel tips I have listed. Those are the ones I use. Although they say no file, you still need to give them a little bit of a file on the tip. That’s something I did not mind because they are natural looking and durable.

I have tried many different brands of glue tabs and Olive & June far surpass any of the tabs I have tried. Not only do they keep my nails put for up to 10 days or more, they are thin and do not add bulk to your press ons.

Feel free to comment and ask me questions. I’m more than happy to walk you through the process of making your own nails at home after you purchase your items 💕🤗

Get organized in the new year!

A well organized closet saves time when getting dressed. If your shelves are looking a little messy, you need these acrylic dividers.

I love how streamlined my shelves look now! Read the descriptions on each set of dividers to make sure they will fit your shelves. The exact ones I purchased are a little more expensive than the others but they are well-made and fit my closet shelves.

Other mentionable items are the velvet hangers, necklace holder, multi size acrylic trays, and acrylic jewelry holder. I have all of these in my closet.

The velvet hangers give you more room to hang clothing and are nonslip. They don’t leave dents in the shoulders of my tops.

The necklace holder has two separate carousels. I hang my gold necklaces on one and my silver necklaces on the other.

I love how streamlined the acrylic jewelry holder is. It keeps everything organized and looks great.

I use the smaller pull out draw bins for my odds and ends.

The quad pull out drawers are large enough to store your scarves, hats, and gloves for the winter. They also make great storage for nail supplies and nail polish.

The small multi size trays are great in drawers. I use most of mine to organize my makeup.

A well organized closet is a time saver, especially on busy days.

We’ve been growing our organic, pesticide-free greens indoors for over six years, using a hydroponic tower garden system all year round. It's really important to us to know exactly what’s in our food. We began our journey before COVID arrived, and we truly appreciated having our own greens and vegetables so we didn't have to rely on the grocery store. It was such a great experience. You might say I’m a bit of a crunch mom now! Do you enjoy gardening or have a favorite hydroponic system you love to use?
