Trends to Try- Faux Leather

November 10, 2021 by Katie Haller

If you haven’t jumped on the faux leather trend yet, then it’s probably time that you at least start to consider it. It took me a while to get into faux leather. I find it a little edgy for my style, but I finally decided to give it a go a couple of years ago and I am glad I did. This isn’t a trend I see going anywhere anytime soon! Today I want to share with you 3 faux leather clothing pieces that you can add to your closet to give this trend a try.

Holiday Gift Guides for Kids

November 7, 2021 by Katie Haller

Christmas is so fun when you have little kids. Of course, you want to give them the world, but you also want them to learn that Christmas isn’t all about gifts. Material items only go so far so last year when I was trying to figure out what to buy my kids for Christmas I reached out to my Instagram followers for suggestions on how to simplify the holidays and not go overboard on kid gifts. The one suggestion that really stuck with me was to give your child something they want, something they need, and something to read. I thought that was a great idea and that’s why this year I wanted to break down my gift guides that way.

Real-Life Mom Outfit of the Day Roundup- October

November 3, 2021 by Katie Haller

I can’t believe that another month has past and it’s time to do another real-mom outfit of the day roundup. I honestly never know what to call these posts. I use to call them “What I Wore” posts, then I would say monthly posts. Lately, I have just been referring to them as real-life mom outfit-of-the-day roundups because that’s what they are. They are the real everyday outfits that I wear. I love putting together outfits, but when it comes to actually getting a chance to wear every outfit that I style for the blog it’s hard. I just don’t have that many exciting places to wear them to. That’s why I challenge myself every day to put on something that I feel good in.

How to Style Staight-leg Jeans in 2021

October 27, 2021 by Katie Haller

Straight-leg jeans seem to be a hot topic at the moment. Ever since this idea that you are old if you still wear skinny jeans came about, everyone either seems to be running out and getting straight-leg jeans or holding their ground strong and refusing to wear them. Now I am not saying that I will be getting rid of my skinny jeans any time soon. I still prefer them over straight-leg jeans, but I do like to have a variety of jeans in my wardrobe. This helps my outfits stay fresh.

9 Fall Outfit Ideas With a Plaid Shirt

October 19, 2021 by Katie Haller

October is the best month of the fall season in my opinion! Football, Cider Mills, Pumpkin carving, Halloween! It’s always a fun month. I feel like there is no better wardrobe staple to have in October than a plaid shirt. It’s even better if you can find a plaid shirt that goes with everything in your wardrobe!

What I Wore Then vs. What I Wore Now

October 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post from one of my favorite style bloggers Merrick’s Art. (If you are not following this blog you need to!! She shares the best style tips!!) She has a series on Instagram where she takes outfits that she wore in the past and updates them to how she would style them now. This post gave me an amazing idea for a blog post series. I want to take some of the outfits that I shared in my early days of blogging and show you how I would style that same look now with updated pieces in my wardrobe.
