One of my favorite Portland jewelers just released a new, plant-inspired collection. I love the Abstract Monstera earrings and the Monstera Necklace.

Madewell is having their Stars and Icons sale this weekend. This means 20-25% off depending on your Insider status. I had my eye on a pair of full-length bootcut jeans so I snatched them up at a considerable discount.

After a long hunt, I found what I think might be the perfect puffed-sleeve top. I am so picky about these types of styles, and I chose this one for the cuff detail, extra shirring around the collar plus its ‘wash and go’ abilities! (Hopefully, this means no ironing!)

I came across the Celine Fall 2021 ready-to-wear fashion show on Pinterest, and WOW, I pinned the heck out of these. The subtle equestrian vibes and faded jeans captivated my attention. The styling on these looks is outstanding.

Lo’s Fall 2021 wardrobe inspiration features all the things I want to wear. (Except maybe the color blue.)

Did you see my latest YouTube video? It’s all about my favorite Fall 2021 trends and how they’re shaping my fall wardrobe.

Last week I found myself wanting to buy alllll the things. This tends to happen to me around the start of a new major season (hello fall!), but it also happens when I start to lose focus of my style. Thankfully, I came across this old blog post I wrote a few years ago –5 Steps to Define Your Style, and I spent some time taking my own advice.

Wardrobe declutter: 8 things you can get rid of today

The more I learn about fashion, the more I realize I don’t know about home decorating. Good thing the experts have me covered. This piece on dining room rules has given me several takeaways as I consider changing out my lighting and adding art.

How is the single-use plastic situation in your house? We’ve been trying for years to cut back on this (and have had many successes), but one place I’ve struggled with is hand soap. I recently came across Cleancult on Amazon and promptly ordered a reusable, shatterproof glass bottle and hand soap refill bundle. So far it’s been a big hit because of the non-slip base. I hope to continue to swap out the rest of the hand soaps around my house!
