ThredUp is Popping Up Near You!

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 22:35:27 +0000

ThredUp is Popping Up Near You! It’s no secret that I love to shop. Let’s be honest, I borderline have a problem. But if any good comes from my extensive shopping knowledge, its sharing my finds (good and bad) with you guys. When it comes to shopping, I don’t discriminate. I will shop designer, consignment, at Target, or Forever 21 and I always find something great. When I heard that thredUp was popping up at Peebles, the store that I grew up shopping in, I knew I had to stop in. I’ve also been a huge fan of thredUp for years because you can get like-new top designer fashion at up to 90% off retail —right in your neighborhood! Within the pop up shops, you can find great deal on brands such as: J. Crew, Zara, Forever 21, Banana Republic, H&M, Express, Ann Taylor LOFT, Old Navy, Gap and more! Peebles was seriously the only store in Warrenton when I was growing up, so most of my childhood wardrobe came from there and the obvious hand-me-downs from my older sister. To bring the entire shopping story full circle, I brought my niece, Maddie, with me to help me shop. She helped me pick […]

5 Quick Tips for easy Transitional Dressing

5 quick tips for easy transitional dressing from Summer to Fall … This is a topic I know all too well. Living in LA, it can be a bit more challenging when it comes to transitioning from Summer to Fall attire when temperatures continue to soar. We all love Fall, right? There is no denying the styling and effort can’t be beat. But how does one achieve that effort with out all the layers that come with it? I’m sharing 5 quick tips for a smooth transition this Fall. Loafers: I love loafers. They are timeless and the perfect shoe to opt for rather than a boot that can feel a bit forced during that awkward period. Silk Prints: A printed silk in itself is a statement. No need for extra layering and texture when the print does the work for you. Accessories: You may not be able to layer your clothing just yet so why not stack and layer the jewelry? To me your accessories are like the icing on the cake. And you never want to have cake with out icing, so the more the better! Color: Whatever the color is for the season, invest and impress! I love the […]

Trend Alert: 3 Ways Rock The PJ Frock

Trend Alert: 3 Ways Rock The PJ Frock Sorry I have been so MIA lately. With baby, work, the new house and the fact that it is Summer with so much going on and oh so little time, blogging unfortunately took a back burner. But we are back and ready and full of fashion inspo after that much needed pause. Life update: Baby A continues to be a fire cracker with a whole lot of sass and even more personality. I love watching every second of her growth and progress as she went from a baby to a full on toddler over night. Mother hood is becoming a bit easier now that she is a bit more independent but the lack of sleep, pure exhaustion, constant eye twitch and nightly full pour of mama juice stays real. A favorite fellow mom blogger, Cella Jane, put it nicely that Parenthood is simply surviving until the end of the day when you put the kids down just to watch your favorite show for 5 minutes then pass out. So true. By the end of the day, I love nothing more than to put on some comfy pjs, turn on my current binge Netflix show (very much in […]
