Winter Sheep

 

Old Navy sheep sweater (hurry!) / Old Navy tribal cardigan / Jcrew leggings / UO infinity scarf / Frank Sarto boots (what I wish I was wearing) /

Winter Neutrals

We had family pictures taken and then Jt wanted to take my picture. This blog may seem like it is just me, but Jt is almost a bigger driver behind than I am. Both of our hobbies combine here and it's pretty fun working together.

I love a fur collar on my coat in the winter- it produces cozy and glamorous feelings all at the same time. It was a little too cold to wear flats, but sometimes you have to match your necklace... and then I remembered why practicality comes first in Idaho winter. Purple feet people.

{P.S. If you are interested in my necklace, email me and I can order one for you!}

I'm trying a new layout with more options to shop the look. What do you think? Do you like having options or do you prefer to just know the exact piece?

Christmas Plaid

I pulled out the Christmas plaid to celebrate the first Sunday of Advent. It felt very festive.  Although, when I sat down in church, the middle-aged man in front of me might have been wearing the exact shirt. Plaid is one of those classics that apply to any stage of life.  You just have to wear like you own it. He was not pairing plaid with a crystal necklace so we weren't exactly twins.

Leopard Goodness

I ordered these pants to take to Europe, but they didn't come in time. Instead, it was a fun surprise to come home to them waiting on the front porch! And, they feel like I'm wearing pajama pants... crazy awesome leopard pajama pants. The waist is elastic coupled with a drawstring which is what cues pajama in my mind. Since the pattern is bold, I paired the pants with a simple black tunic and black wedges. Very easy to dress up or down!

After the husband took these pictures, we went and warmed up with fresh hot cider at a coffeeshop and watched the snow come down. We even brought Vincent because it felt so Christmasy.

Sailor Style

We absolutely loved cruising through Europe and would highly recommend it. It felt like we went on two trips- one where we toured Europe and one where we didn't have a care in the world. It's amazing seeing all the sights, watching history come alive, and experiencing another culture, but let's be honest, it can be intense. Walking for hours each day, being on your guard so you don't get lost, miss the cruise, pick-pocketed, or do something "American" that could be offensive can add up. (A very cautious couple in our group was pick-pocketed and lost $1000 and a couple people did get left at some of the ports.) So, coming back to the cruise where they wait on you hand and foot, pick up your room twice a day (I mean not only make the bed, but fold all your clothes and organize your shoes!) and serve you three course meals every night was a welcomed treat (read, totally spoiled). We could really relax and prep for our next day of sight-seeing.

We had a couple days at sea so we were able to snap this outfit post. It certainly helps to have a husband who LOVES taking pictures.

Chambray

Fur Vest (similar here) / Chambray Top Gap or Jcrew / Black Leggings Jcrew / Boots Steve Madden

When you want a comfortable and chic look, go for a loose chambray top paired with black leggings. Because when it is the middle of the week, sometimes you just need to get cozy.

Boyfriend & Burgundy

Boyfriend Sweater Jcrew or this one / Burgundy Pants Jcrew / Boots Amazon / Poodle Perky Ears Priceless

There something so comfortable about a perfectly over-sized boyfriend husband sweater. Not to mention the huge slouchy pockets that fit mine and the husband's hands.

A Fall Day & Thoughts on Blogging

I LOVE reading other blogs and seeing their outfit posts. I've also read over and over to share on your blog what you like to read. So, here is a fall outfit for a beautiful fall day. I raided JT's closet and decided to wear this sweater. It's so cozy and I love the oversized buffalo print. He used to wear buffalo print A LOT before we were married (he outgrew that wardrobe after marriage!) so it reminds me of when we were "young" (even though we are still young, but you know what I mean, right?).

Now let's chat.

I started this blog to share my design inspiration. I've wanted to blog for a long time now, but had been scared of what people would think of me and didn't know what to do if it didn't work out. Even after blogging for a short time, I have fallen in love with it. I love the surprise factor- you never know who will read your blog or where it will take you. I love being a part of the blogging community and meeting so many creative, generous people. I love getting new readers one by one. And, I love that the direction your blog takes you is not always the direction you had in mind. Which brings me to my point. My readers like fashion posts (see here, here, and here). Fashion and interior design are very intertwined. The elements and principles are the same no matter what the medium is. Fashion just happens to be more accessible. It's easier to buy a new top then it is a new sofa. You might think about the top for maybe ten minutes and a sofa is usually a couple year thought process. Fashion Week dictates trends for interiors and you can pick out the same trending colors and patters in both interiors and fashion. Tribal patterns, pops of neon, color-blocking, animal prints, ikat, bright pink, turquoise, metallics... see what I mean? What goes around comes around. I want to provide content to my readers that is relevant and accessible to them. Since fashion and interiors do go hand-in-hand, I will continue to post about both of them, but you will be seeing more fashion posts pop up (and let's be honest, I'm really, really excited!). My goal for my fashion posts is still the same as my interior posts. I want to give women confidence. To make them feel beautiful, important. I can't do this, but I can share the love of Christ and the gifts He's blessed me with. With Him, I can also help take away their fear of sharing their gifts. Because if I can do what I do, so can you.

I'd appreciate your thoughts!

Color Inspiration & Paint Palettes

One of my favoriate sources for design inspiration is surprisingly, not design. It usually comes from whatever is going on in my life and what I've been doing. Since we are busy planning for our trip to Europe (so excited!!), I have had the famous question of "what am I going to wear?" on my mind. Here are some of my outfit picks complete with a color palette for your space!
