Friday Favorites: Spring Break Boho

February 27, 2015

10124a168b5d4837892b833b1fa6f0ea

Warming temperatures and longer days have me craving a fresh spring look. However, the sunny days don’t necessarily mean it’s time yet to break out your sandals. Don’t despair, you can still wear your new spring frock with just a few more layers than you will be wearing in the summer months.

I’m off to Arizona for a long girls weekend! As I’m preparing to pack, spring dresses and swim suits are sadly not making it into the suitcase. With temperatures in the low 60’s, there will be no lounging by the pool.  Instead, we plan to spend our time hiking, eating, watching girlie movies, and (most importantly) catching up.  Stay tuned next week for some desert-inspired fashion, just in time for all of your spring break plans!

Happy Friday and thanks for reading! As always, all comments, suggestions, and praise welcome. ~Jenn

Outfits: Daytime Leather

January 29, 2015

My husband takes my photos (and provides unsolicited commentary on my fashion choices). When he asked what the focal point of this outfit was, I replied the leather pants…of course.  He then suggested that I make the rest of my look more “fancy.”  But, while I certainly can get behind “fancy” attire, it’s just not practical for my everyday life.  Yet, I still want to wear and enjoy special stand-out pieces such as heels, statement earrings, and leather pants.

P1100885

One of my best friends wears her most favorite and expensive perfume everyday and serves her family their meals on her wedding china…because these things bring her joy.  I try to apply this philosophy to my daily life as well.  This outfit is evidence of that. Don’t reserve a special investment piece for rare occasions.  While these leather pants could easily make a statement with a silk blouse and strappy sandals for a night on the town, they can also be woven into your daily wardrobe.  For the office, wear leather as you would your denim jeans.  Add a blazer for a touch of sophistication and swap heels for your favorite bootie.  For weekend brunch (or even a playdate), pair them with retro sneakers and a slouchy sweater for a downtown cool yet casual look.  Regardless of the occasion, channel your inner Kate Moss and wear your leather pants with confidence!

Outfits: Leather Leggings {A Wardrobe Staple}

October 29, 2014

P1090697
Leather leggings, a closet staple you may ask? This is my second winter obsessing over these comfort pants that are totally rock n’ roll (definitely not your standard-issue yoga pant).  True cow, vegan leather, pleather, or “leather-like”…whatever your preference and price point, there is a pair out there for you.  For example, the sheered pair featured in this post are surprisingly flattering and so easy to wear.  These leggings dress up your usual tee and cardi or, when paired with a heeled bootie and a sleek top, can even make an appearance after hours.  Keep reading for a “Legging 101” below.

P1090743Leggings are surprisingly easy to wear (and I’m not talking gym-class “easy to wear”).  Below are three simple things to keep in mind when sporting a pair of leggings:

  1. Contrast the proportions of your outfit.  The leggings will cling to your body, so be sure that you wear a loose shirt or long sweater on top to balance your proportions.  If you read my blog with regularity, you know that I am ordinarily a huge fan of tucking..when wearing a pair of legging, DON’T TUCK.
  2. Layer.  Leggings are a great foundation; pair them with a sweater, coat and/or boots to add interest to your look.
  3. Dress leggings up.  Be mindful that your look doesn’t read too casual (unless you really are just coming from the gym).  Instead, be sure to add dressy extras like the finishing touches in this look (pearl earrings, polished booties and a croc-embossed clutch).

P1090774
All of the clothes featured in this post can be found at Queen Anne Dispatch.  This is my favorite local boutique for everything from special occasion dresses to greeting cards, from one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry to thoughtful hostess gifts.  If you are in the Seattle area, you must make your way in to check out their uniquely curated selection.  And, next Friday, November 7th, they are hosting a Friends & Family event from 6-10pm featuring a live DJ, drinks and small bites…and 20% off the entire store! Be sure to stop in and shop with me next week.

Thanks for reading! ~Jenn

Outfits: Summer to the MAX

July 31, 2014

P1090123

As the temperatures climb, nothing can be more carefree and cool (literally) than a maxi skirt.  I reach for mine all of the time; therefore, I dedicate this post to wearing the same maxi skirt two ways: casual and dressy.

Look #1: Casual

The trick when pairing a maxi skirt with a slouchy tee is to define the waist.  Here I have tied a knot but tucking would have worked just as well.  Leaving the tee out would create unnecessary bulk – loose tee and loose skirt, if left unstyled, could look sloppy.  Then I added an easy sandal and long necklaces to polish an otherwise laid-back look…bright lipstick doesn’t hurt either!

Necklaces: Lucia K Jewelry (email Kirsty), Mary Louise Designs & my sister’s creation | Sunglasses: MICHAEL by Michael Kors | Lipstick: Dior ‘New Look’

P1090115

P1090126

Maxi skirt (worn throughout): Heather (similar) | Tee: Leith | Clutch: Clare V | Sandals: Madewell (similar) | Bracelets: Queen Anne Dispatch (worn throughout), Giles & Brother, Madewell

Look #2: Dressed-Up

Same skirt just added…(drum roll, please)…a crop top.  A high waisted skirt like this one, can look polished with such a top; whereas a low-rise skinny jean, for example, would bare too much and end up looking…young.  Since my outfit was all black, I then added some interesting accessories – a striped d’Orsay flat and pops of color with a clutch and jeweled earrings (and matching nails – that rarely happens!).

 Earrings: BaubleBar X Anthropologie (similar) | Lipstick & Nails: NARS ‘Schiap’ (on sale!)

Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted t Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted the new year feeling inspired with a renewed intention for my account; to share with you the goodies I love, wear, try. Unfiltered and honest. That’s what I’m here for. But then...2021 arrived feeling much like her older sister, 2020. Instead, I’ve avoided a lot of social media; choosing to tune into various news outlets and into my family. So, HERE WE ARE. A post proving that I got dressed yesterday, wearing some of my new favorites (these @flamingosshoes white boots!) and steady stand-bys (year 2 wearing this @notmondaymercantile beanie on repeat). I took the kids out after school to run a couple of errands and connect with a business I love to support; we made plans for a spring share. Man, it felt good to get out! And now, I’m posting early before I’ve read the morning news. So, it’s happened.

Please stay safe, remain respectful, and true to yourself. Social media is a beautiful way to connect, create, and inspire...but can also be a dangerous rabbit hole of misinformation and an opportunity for people to behave in a way they ordinarily wouldn’t in person. Off my soap box. Have a lovely Friday!#wordsfrommyheart #realoutfitgram #flamingosshoes #whiteboots #notmondaymoments
Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you all but enjoyed a nice long break. Heading back home after some snow time and I’m feeling re-energized (for now). Isn’t it funny how a change in the calendar can make you feel different? Are you a “new year, new you” kinda gal or more indifferent? I do like a good reset. Even though we’ll be doing more of the same early this year, I’m feeling more optimistic. For now. Cheers to 2021!

Also, posted in stories a nearly identical photo of us from last January at the top of @schweitzer_mountain. While the photos look the same, it’s fun to think that we now are Sandpoint homeowners! A positive outcome of 2020. #newyearonthemountain #snowbest #schweitzermountain #skifamily
Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all the boxes this year. Thinking of everyone not able to spend time with loved ones this year. I’m so grateful for our little family but really missing my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, my in-laws.  Over a year seems far too long to be apart; but we all need to continue to be safe. It matters. #christmassweater #christmas2020 #staysafestayhome #vintagesweater
Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions ma Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions may look different this year; we have an opportunity to get creative and share in new experiences. Like the new-to-me homemade marshmallow recipe, @thekirstyfiles and I have the pleasure of bringing to you in partnership with @pacific_place. We encourage you to invite a few pals to a zoom date, pop a bottle of bubbly, and create these delicious confections together. I promise they’re relatively fool proof (I pulled them off!) AND a sugar-high afternoon spent with friends (even virtually) will be sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Tune in to Pacific Place’s IGTV or YouTube to see the full tutorial, including my gaff when my marshmallow began moving into the “hard ball” territory (note: this recipe does require a candy thermometer and the ability to read it!). Cheers to making the most out of holiday 2020! #homemademarshmallows #pacificplaceseattle #craftingtogether
Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a frie Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a friend. The belly laughs, chit chat, and groans (as we tried on a number of jeans) provided the escape from reality that I needed. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much you miss something until you get to enjoy it again!
.

Other things I love? Soft luxury cashmere, designer denim that fits like a glove, and packable hats (yes, packable!). All can be found @willaseattle; a small, women-owned boutique located in the heart of the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Be sure to check out our stories as @thekirstyfiles and I share holiday-perfect gifts for your sister, mother, girlfriends...yourself! Lucky for Kirsty and I, our husbands also know the lovely owner, Liz (and she has our wishlists on file)!

Also very near and dear to my heart, Willa is the epitome of shopping local. The shelves are stocked with unique, small business designs; including many Seattle businesses. When you shop local, you not only support your community but also curate a look all your own!

Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for you Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for yourself, aka #stayathomestyle. Sure, 2020 may be the year of the sweatpant (combined with a sleeping bag-like coat, as seen here). And yes, a mask chain is this year’s hottest accessory. BUT I still take care to actually get dressed each day. And while lipstick may no longer be a part of my daily routine (I mean, was it ever??), it’s still important to be pulled together..if only for my own mental health. And even if no one else sees it but the grocery clerk. #whatmamaworemonday #sweatpantsseason

On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope t On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope to inspire, remind, urge, and even beg you to ignore all of the crazy cyber sales that have been creeping into your inbox for the past week and instead SHOP SMALL this holiday season. Yes, perhaps it’s less convenient and even less of a “deal” but this pandemic is putting an even greater strain on the small and local businesses that are the absolute life blood of our communities. And, in addition to supporting an entrepreneur and neighbor, you’ll likely find more creative, individual, and unique gifts for your loved ones by shopping a small business.
