October 26, 2022 by Katie H.

Coated black jeans outfit ideas

One trend that I am loving this fall is coated black jeans! What I love about these jeans is that they have a shiny finish, giving them the same appearance as leather pants.

How to wear tall boots for fall

I often get questions from millennial moms like myself about what’s in style and what’s out of style. I recently got asked on Instagram if tall boots were still in style and my answer was yes.

The Most Versatile Summer Sandals

How to wear summer sandals

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question, or at least that’s a question that I get asked from time to time. Can you splurge on fashion and still have an affordable wardrobe? If your budget allows it then, of course, it’s okay to splurge! Before you make a splurge purchase it’s important to think about the value that the item will hold in your wardrobe.
