Oh Nordstrom, I just can’t quit you. Each time I venture to another retailer I find the prices are higher for the same things, the selection is smaller, there’s fewer pieces in my size, and the service just doesn’t compare. Add a sale of up to 40% off current items and I swoon. So on… Continue Reading What to Buy at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale
Why do we start good habits and let them slide? There’s no truth in the 21 days/31 days/3 months to make a habit bunk. I think we can all recall a diet, morning workout routine, plan to make our bed, or drink lots of water that went by the wayside. For me, it was dry… Continue Reading Friday Favorite: Dry Brushing
If you follow me on Snapchat (wardrobeoxygen), you know last week I went to California for a couple days. I was invited to be part of a project, and I’ll be sure to share it when it’s finished!

So I’ve been… Continue Reading Recent Fashion Purchases, Hits and Misses

No I am not going to, nor am I going to recommend you switch out all your skinny jeans for flares, toss your flats for sneakers, or teach a DIY on how to turn all… Continue Reading Easy Ways to Update Your Wardrobe for Spring and Summer
Stores sure like to take advantage of holidays to get people shopping! I don’t know how Mother’s Day and shopping are connected (especially if you’re reading this it’s too late to order that gift), but hey, all the better for us who are looking to update our wardrobes for spring and summer! Banana Republic has… Continue Reading Weekend Sales Alert
Karl has a subscription to Outside Magazine. In the March 2016 issue the article, “How to Eat Better” climber and photographer Jimmy Chinn mentioned the product HANAH ONE. This wasn’t an ad, it was a tiny mention at the end of the piece yet Karl and I both read it, intrigued. We went online to… Continue Reading Friday Favorite: HANAH ONE
