Over the next several weeks, you will notice that our social media is going to be themed! We picked items to focus on every couple of weeks so you can see how each stylist chooses and styles in their own unique way. This week we are kicking off fall with SNEAKERS! Athleisure continues to be such a priority as many of us are working from home and keeping a more cozy aesthetic. Although I am not working from home these days, I am still loving the comfortable vibe. When it c

How is it the end of August already? Where has this summer gone?! It's crazy to think that fall is right around the corner and when I think of fall, I think of jeans. Heading into fall is the perfect time to shop for jeans because after months of wearing shorts or dresses, your body shape could have changed and refresh is needed as we head into the cold months. Jeans are so hard to shop for. I have two go-to brands that I know will fit me very well, Good American and Madewell

I am thrilled to be back shopping at Mall of America with some of my clients!! Online work is convenient but there is nothing like being in the space, touching the fabric, and actually trying it on. I feel so much more successful as a stylist when I can make all of these elements happen. The education people get from an in-person shop tends to be rather eye-opening, too. As much as a majority of our clients dread physically shopping, they are pleasantly surprised after ge

Two months in and I am thrilled to write about my new twice daily work horse, MaeLove Glow Maker. I read about it via Emily Henderson's blog months ago and added it to my google doc of "beauty products to try". I do this so I don't instantly buy something I don't need, but so that I have an ongoing list of items I would like to try at the ready if I need a change/something new beauty wise. I am LAZY about face care, but the older I get the more important it has become to me

In May, I started graduate school! I am getting my Masters in Counseling and Psychological Services from St. Mary's University of Minnesota! I am beyond excited for this new journey. My first class is coming to an end next week and there is something I want to share with you that I am so grateful for. My class was online. My classes going forward will be online, thanks to COVID. My textbook for this recent class was actually online as well. So I was getting a lot of screen ti

This is personal. My niece just rolled out her jewelry line in honor of her late mother. This line is her way of honoring her mom and bringing a spotlight to mental illness. Every purchase gives a portion to organizations focusing on suicide prevention and awareness. You can read a little about her story on her web page and meet my beautiful niece, India. What a lovely way to remember my sister-in-law and make a difference. And... I love the jewelry my niece is creating!

I have joked here before about my husband's *excellent* gift giving. Among friends, they know I mean this as a joke as it is often a huh?!? reaction from me that sometimes is an out of the park home run and sometimes will forever be a joke for me (and a series of Michael covering his tracks and feeling sad that I am joking about it). He tries REALLY hard, which I always appreciate, however I also write a blog and newsletter where I constantly link things I like (wink wink),

What: Freya Swimwear (Sundance Sweetheart Bikini Top---I purchased in white) Freya does an excellent job of making swimwear specific to bra size. I have purchased bras in this brand previously and the consistency is always there with sizing. Where: Bare Necessities This is an online retailer specializing in intimate apparel and swimwear. Cost: $7.99-$98.00 Wear & Pair: Swimwear can be so easy to mix and match. Once you have a solid few pieces, play with color and pattern to

I hadn't shopped for myself for awhile and decided to browse one of my favorite local boutiques, Style Niche Boutique, in Rosemount on Hwy 3. I tried on a number of items but, the first find I found was this black "Dex" brand one-piece jumper. I have a boiler suit (similar) but, this is my first jumper since I was about ten years old. I found this one to be soooo comfy! It has a faux wrap top with a full leg to mid-calf. I'm very straight and I like the illusion that I h
