The Power of a Statement Piece

November 14, 2016

How To Style a Statement CoatI spend a lot of time reminding my clients and writing in this blog that you should be planful with your purchases each season.  When I organize other’s closets (including my own); I advise that you should take stock of your wardrobe, and then make thoughtful purchases based on a prepared shopping list. Premeditated shopping trips keep you on budget and help you maintain a curated wardrobe.

However, I also advocate for leaving some room in your shopping budget for those special treasures you may find unexpectedly.  A great example of such a find would be this sweater/jacket.  When I stumbled upon this jacquard jacket at Nordstrom Rack, I knew that it would be a show-stopping addition to my wardrobe.  So easy to wear casually (with jeans and a tee shirt, as I have done here), but also a great piece to dress up over a dress or pair of slacks and a blouse.

Tory Burch Merino Jacquard CardiganStatement JacketKelsi Dagger Kendall PlatformEmbroidered Knit JacketTory Burch Knit JacketSeattle Style Blogger Pike Place MarketI had so much fun exploring Pike Place Market on this rainy morning.  I live so close to the market but don’t get down often enough – parking, tourists, the weather all discourage me.  However, when I do come down, I am never disappointed.  Everything is so fresh; flowers, fish, artisan baked goods, and the best Greek yogurt you’ll find.  Since this trip, I am making a more concerted effort to head down when I can (it is literally a 10 minute drive from home).  If you are in Seattle and come to the market, be sure to grab a cup of coffee at Storyville Coffee (up above the market on 1st Avenue). The view is phenomenal and the coffee amazing.

What I’m Lovin’: Shopbop Friends & Family Sale

October 14, 2015

FP_sb_20151013_friendsfamily_1-0

Exciting news, especially for your fall wardrobe!  The Shopbop Friends & Family sale is live now thru October 15th.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on basics as well as invest in pieces, such as coats and boots, that will see you through the season.  Hurry, prices go up in 2 days and inventory is limited.

One word of advice on shopping a site-wide sale such as this one – use the search function to narrow your criteria; this could be by item type (ex. suede skirt), brand, and even size.  Or, shop my picks below.  I either own several of these pieces or currently have them in my own shopping bag!

Friday Favorites: Comfort Chic

September 5, 2014

Rarely get out of your yoga pants? Not to worry because fashion is now taking a cue from busy soccer moms, comfort aficionados and workout enthusiasts alike, as chic casual attire becomes street-wear worthy.  Designers like Alexander Wang and Tory Burch are designing athletic lines in an attempt to capitalize on Lululemon’s yoga-pant success.  And, with the resurgence in popularity of old-school sneakers and lux fabric updates to the track pant silhouette, your comfort attire is completely in vogue well beyond the gym.

Below are a few of my most favorite casual, comfortable yet utterly chic pieces.  Wear them together for a cool, relaxed look or mix and match with your more “formal” attire for a cool mix.  For example, pair the printed sneakers with a crisp pair of skinny jeans and a blazer for casual Fridays in the office or add heels and some oversized jewelry to the track pants for a fun date-night look.

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.
