Who doesn’t look forward to summer? After a long season of rainy, dull days, I’m ready for sunshine and hot weather. I transition my closet throughout the year so that what’s visible and readily available is exactly what I’m wearing in that season. For example, I’m diligent about putting away off season clothes I’m not […] Read more…
If you have Netflix, you probably got on the Marie Kondo train this past January when they released her show. I kept hearing how watching it would spur on the urge to organize, but I doubted it would affect me. I’m pretty organize and already love closet tips, but by the end of the first […] Read more…

I’ve written about this topic before, and wanted to bring it back up since now is a great time to get a coat on sale. Living in a cold weather state, I have an extensive coat collection. The winter season is so long, I get to wear each and every one of them multiple times. […] Read more…
The photo above is from November 2017 – I was pregnant and L.L. Bean was very kind to give me one of their sweaters to style in a larger size to accommodate my growing belly. I adore this sweater, and this past fall when I got it out it was way too big on me. […] Read more…
Congratulations on receiving your new favorite pair of boots! Bean Boots are a wonderful piece of footwear that can be worn for years when properly maintained, and only get better with age. They’re my “everything” boots that I slip on most days whether for work, running errands, or going on a long walk outside. They […] Read more…
