Recent Netflix Binge Shows
In the past 1-2 months I have put a decent dent in my Netflix list of things to watch. Since I’m always so curious to know what other people are watching on Netflix, I thought I’d write up a quick post of what I have watching/what I’ve been watching since late July. First, Supernatural. I have watched Supernatural since the beginning and this fall the final season (season 15!) begins. Although I have been a big fan since it started 15 seasons ago I did fall behind 2 seasons ago. What had happened was I had episodes saved on my DVR to catch up on and lost the episodes and then…

Metallic Stripe Puff Sleeve Top
Things are slowly moving along with my condo. I had the hot water heater replaced and my new dishwasher was delivered. I went to pick up samples of quartz for new countertops and floor samples for new vinyl flooring. Hopefully I’ll have some more updates soon! Once things really get done I can do some proper home/home decor posts. Anyway, last month I went in to Express to happily spend my birthday coupon. When I saw this black puff sleeve top with multicolor metallic pinstripes I had to try it on. I loved it immediately and decided to get it. The top has a slightly cropped fit to it so…

Cranberry Apple Pecan Wild Rice
I’ve been holding on to this recipe post until we were closer to fall since it is so perfect for fall. Well, the weather is still on the warm side most days but we’re getting in to the second half of September so I thought I might as well share it now! This is one of those recipes from Pinterest that are 100% a success. It is so good! I’ve made it multiple times last fall and winter and I can’t wait to make it again this fall. I used this recipe and followed it. The only note I have is that I cooked it for a little less time…

Brushmarl Dress
You might be wondering what exactly brushmarl is. It’s actually exactly what it sounds like. A lightweight marled dress with a brushed finish. I’m a big fan of the Lou & Grey pieces that LOFT carries. They are the softest clothes! They make amazing loungewear, but I’ve gotten some great pieces from them that could be casual or work wear appropriate. This brushmarl dress is one of those pieces. I can wear it with sandals out and about or to work with wedges or flats and some accessories. I wore this grey button down dress to work with a Kendra Scott necklace in my birthstone. Love the split neck and…

https://www.pexels.com/search/cozy/ With a cool crispness in the air and darker evenings closing in, it’s time to start heading back inside and spending some cosy days and nights in our homes. If you’re looking around and your home feels a little stark, unloved or it’s just lacking that cosy factor then it can be difficult to properly enjoy the season. Here are some of the changes you can make. Change up the layout First things first, the room might not feel cosy and comfortable because of the current layout. Either change things around to see how it all looks, or play around with a 3d room building tool so you…

Octagonal Hoops
Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through the week and it’s been a busy one and will continue to be so it’s just a quick blog post from me today. Months ago I talked about (either on here or on Instagram Stories) that I was looking for a pair of hoop earrings. Dainty, not chunky, but medium to large in size. I bought , what I thought, were really pretty hoops from Francesca’s, but they broke! They broke the first time I tried to wear them. So I was on the hunt for a new pair of earrings and I came across these unique ones from Baublebar. The octagonal shape is so…

Olive Button Shorts + Strappy Bodysuit
Often times I put together an outfit in my mind and just hope that it will look as good in real life as it does in my head. Usually it works out, in my opinion, and this outfit turned out better than I imagined! I paired my pull on olive shorts with button detailing and a black ribbed bodysuit with a strappy back. I love the way this bodysuit fits. It is so flattering and isn’t too skin tight and uncomfortable in the least. I also love the straps and square neckline. So on trend! And since it’s a bodysuit it’s so easy to just wear the pull-on shorts with…

Warm Saffron Smocked Jumpsuit
Monday again and this time a full week of work since last week was just a 4 day week. I’m hoping to get the ball rolling on my multiple home projects this week so I can start to see an end in sight – even if it’s in the distance. I don’t mind if things take a while to get done as long as I know they’re getting done, if you that makes sense. The weather here has been really nice. Not hot, but not cold. Just really pleasant. I think we’re supposed to get some rain this week, but hopefully it’s nothing too bad. This smocked jumpsuit is the…
