4 Ways to Upgrade Your Winter Work Outfits

January 13, 2022 by Katie Haller

4 clothing items that you can add to your work wear wardrobe to give your everyday work outfits an upgrade.
The holidays are over and now it’s time to head back to work.  I always like to start off the new year refreshed and motivated.  Some of you may have made a new year goal to dress cuter.  I always feel like my outfit can help me have a more productive day, so when I was working I made it a goal to always wear something that I felt cute and confident in.  Winter can be hard to stay creative though.  I always find myself in an outfit rut in January.  That’s why today I want to share 4 different wardrobe pieces that can help upgrade your workwear wardrobe this winter!

5 Tools I Use to Stay Organized as a Mom & Style Blogger

January 10, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

Organizing tools for mom and style bloggers
 
 
 Every year I strive to be a more organized person.  It’s something that doesn’t come naturally to me.  My brain is all over the place.  It’s filled with ideas and thoughts and having mom brain 24/7 doesn’t help me at all.  When I was younger I struggled to stay organized and on task, but as I have gotten older I have learned ways to help me stay focused and be more efficient.  My goal is always to work smarter not harder, yet sometimes that is much easier said than done.  This is why I have created organized systems in every aspect of my life.

Cute and Comfy Outfits for Winter

January 6, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

A round up of cute and cozy winter outfits for women
Welcome to 2022!  I spent the last 2 weeks relaxing with my family.  The days leading up to Christmas were a little rough for me.  There was too much anticipation and excitement that I was struggling to hold everything together at home.  I decided that I would take a little break or at least a break from caring.  I stop caring about posting holiday outfit reel to Instagram or getting on my phone to check how my posts were doing or responding to the emails that came my way.  Instead, I listened to a book and started watching the second season of You on Netflix.  I did the things I never do in my free time, instead of the things I thought I should be doing and it was amazing!  I spent more time being in the moment with my kids and enjoying them.

My Favorite Thrift Finds of 2021!

January 1, 2022 by Katie Haller

A round up of my favorite thrift finds of 2021
At the end of every year, I usually put out a post of my favorite finds from the previous year.  This year I am switching it up.  As I was going through my list of favorite purchases from the year, I realized that most of them were thrifted.  Instead of sharing them all, I decided to break apart the post and share a round-up of my favorite thrift finds of the year separately.  There were just too many good purchases from the year to narrow them down into one post.

Favorite Beauty Finds of 2021

December 31, 2021 by Katie Haller

A round up of my favorite beauty finds of 2021

 

As much as I love sharing clothes, I also love sharing my beauty finds.  That’s why at the end of every year I always like to do a review of my favorite beauty finds from the year.  This year I bought a lot of repeats of my favorite beauty products, but I also made a few new purchases that I wanted to share today.  I will also go through a couple of misses that I didn’t love at the end of the post.

Best Sellers and Popular Blog Posts of 2021

December 29, 2021 by Katie Haller

Round up of best selling clothing items and popular blog posts of 2021

I hope that everyone has been enjoying their Christmas break.  I have been semi-un-plugged this last week, meaning that I haven’t been glued to my phone as usual and staying up late to work on blog posts.  It’s been amazing!  I’ve spent a lot of time with my family and I have been loving every moment.  But I am missing the blog and I am getting excited for this upcoming year.  I’ve been taking a break from creating new content, so this week I just wanted to do some review posts of 2021.
