A few things that have caught my eye:… Continue Reading Summer of Color
Okay, let’s talk about ruanas. I’ve loved ruanas for winter and always have one; they’re great to throw over most everything for warmth without bulk or restriction.

But this collaboration between Universal Standard x Planned Parenthood is not only really cool looking, but I love their take on motherhood.… Continue Reading Size-Inclusive Graphic Tees for a Great Cause: Universal Standard x Planned Parenthood
After writing about stylish wide width shoes for spring and summer, I thought it made sense to share what shoes I plan on wearing now that the world is opening up and the temps are rising.
