One of my favorite fabrics to wear in the summer is linen. It's breathable, lightweight and totally chic; throw that in with some flirty fringe and I am all about it. This Fringe Tank from Duffield Lane is one of my closet staples this summer. The silhouette is like nothing I own and is fresh and new. I love the square neckline and thick straps, making it bra friendly - very ...

So now that I am 25 and still struggle with acne, it causes a lot of insecurity and shakes my confidence. I struggle with cystic acne usually around "that time" of the month on my chin. It's obviously linked to hormones, but ...
The most worn item in my closet...the button down. I am a button down lover! You thank my husband for that. I used to beg me to wear to button downs, and no I would say 60% of the time I’m in one. Initially, I hated the idea of wearing button downs, it felt stuffy and too buttoned up (literally). Now, I’ve gotten to a point where they are a closet must have and I can wear them ...
A few months ago, I shared that I had a hard time making new friends in my current stage of life. Although I may not have a bunch of close local friends I have 4 best friends in 4 different cities that I know would do anything for me!
