Last year we bought a vacation rental in Florida and I had polled on Instagram stories if people would be interested in a packing list. Renting a vacation home is a great way for families to get away together but it’s not like staying in a hotel! In this post I mentioned how I used my Walmart+ membership to let a few essentials get ahead of me on the trip so I wouldn’t have to pack them. Today I’m sharing…
Crate and Barrel Lounge II Sofa Review
February 25, 2021Whenever I post photos or our living room on Instagram our Crate and Barrel Lounge II sofa always get a lot of questions about the color, comfort, and durability. We bought the lounge sofa over 5 years ago so I’ve had plenty of time to formulate my opinion, which is, THAT IS IS AWESOME! shop the room: The Lounge 2 sofa is quite deep. It’s definitely a sofa for lounging on. We don’t eat or do work on the sofa…
As a tall gal, I often get questions about “long torso” friendly clothing. There are more and more options for us tall girls and long torso ladies. I share lots of options for tall jeans and dresses, but I thought it would be helpful to put together a roundup of swimwear designed not to tug up or town because of a long torso. If you’re not headed to a sunny place anytime soon, it’s still nice to dream though! Below…
Walmart’s eco conscious clothing line Free Assembly just launched a bunch of affordable spring basics so I wanted to highlight a few of my favorites. THESE PIECES ARE SO GOOD!!!

These skinny jeans are true to size. I am 5’11” so the length is an ankle fit…
Spring Casual Capsule Wardrobe 2021
February 20, 2021The idea of a capsule wardrobe is to invest in versatile pieces that can withstand the test of time. For example, you can visit past year’s spring capsule wardrobe and you will see that they are all pieces that are still in style now in 2020. Gap has a great selection of classic, timeless styles which is why I’ve built this year’s spring capsule wardrobe entirely from their women’s section. How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe for Spring 2021 When…
Happy Friday! Express is having a site wide sale with markdowns from 40-60% off. I thought now would be a good time to share some neutral outfits that will be great for springtime. First is this wrap front sweater – it’s nursing-friendly! I love the ribbed texture. It’s super soft and not itchy at all. It looks great paired with white and blue denim. I’m wearing xs. A pair of white skinny jeans are spring closet staple for me. This…
In honor of my 39th birthday I wanted to share my February Forever 21 haul! Forever 21 is a store I’ve been shopping at since well before, and clearly well after the big 2️⃣1️⃣ passed me by.

If you’ve been following the last few years you know I am a fan of hair extensions. I’ve tried several types and most recently got hand tied extensions applied by Sam at Lux Hair Co in my hometown of Avon, CT. The team at Lux (Sam, Shaun, and Samantha) created a method that is a combination of 3 steps that gives a hidden, minimal point of contact look. They are in the process of patenting this technique to train other…
