Redefining Casual – Shorts
The only thing that looks worse on me than jeans is shorts. Okay, capris look bad too but I think they look bad on everyone so I don’t even consider them an option. The thing is I’m short, like barely 5’4″ on a good day, and I’m a little on the chubby side with strong,…
Weekly Weakness
Warmer weather is slowly creeping in and I love the fresh new feel it gives me. I love spring! I love the feeling of newness and that adventure awaits.

Ballerina Fashionista: Vintage Inspired Swimwear
So my mom and I were talking fashion the other day and something she said resonated with me. She mentioned how no one really dressed beautifully anymore like in the 50s when women wore dresses and pearls and men wore business suits and ties. Being young, I never really noticed this before but I would…

5 Best Boots for Winter
I think it’s kinda funny that stores are breaking out their spring line when we have at least 4 months of winter weather ahead of us. Here in Idaho, it’s not uncommon to have snow into May and even in June in the mountains. The good thing about this is you can score some…
Ballerina Fashionista: Buffalo Check and a Floppy Beanie
It snowed on Christmas Eve, and then snowed some more…and some more…and some more. It was so magical on Christmas but the day after I was over it. The thing about snow is, it’s cold! Like why do I live where the air hurts my face? And the saddest thing about winter in Idaho is…
