I couldn’t wait to get out in the fresh snow that just fell in Pittsburgh a few days ago! Last year, we had snow for Christmas, but this year it didn’t snow until mid January. I knew that as soon as it snowed I wanted to get out to shoot some photos because I didn’t get the chance to last year! It was freezing but Schyler and I layered up for a quick photo shoot! I wore my coziest jacket and fuzzy accessories to keep me warm, must haves in my Pennsylvania winter wardrobe.
I have been wearing Lotta From Stockholm clogs for years and recently added this new pair to my closet! The brown on brown color combo gives me retro vibes which I love. My old pair of clogs are closed toed with a strap but I love how easy this clog style is to slip on. They are super comfortable, even more so with a cozy pair of socks, the perfect piece to style them with in the colder months of the year. I wouldn’t take these out in the rain or snow, but if you don’t get a ton of that than they are a great all year round shoe!
We have been trying to squeeze in as many Christmas activities as possible during this busy, holiday season. That means I’ve been bundled up at home quite a bit in comfy loungewear of course. I’m obsessed with my new loungewear sweat set from Parachute! This warm brown color “Raisin” reminds me of hot cocoa. One of my favorite holiday traditions is decorating a gingerbread house and this years was a fun kit I picked up at Trader Joe’s, along with these fun gingerbread man cookie hangers.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I thought I would share some outfit ideas that you can wear all day while shopping for Christmas presents, heading to a Friendsgiving, or staying in with your loved ones. These years I look for pieces that are comfortable, good quality, timeless + can easily work with several pieces in my closet. I styled two looks that are exactly that with pieces from ABLE that can be dressed up or down for any event! ABLE is a Nashville based brand that specializes in quality products that are thoughtfully designed and made by women around the globe.
Now that we are going into the colder months of the year, we are going to be spending much more time at home and that means I need to be comfy! I love cozy loungewear sets and pieces that still look chic enough to spend the day in, bonus points if they be can mix and matched. I’m drawn to earth tones and linens so I was so excited when I saw that Parachute was launching a linen loungewear line! I love their clean, modern aesthetic and that their products are safely made without any harmful chemicals or synthetics. Timeless, well made pieces are what I’m drawn and want to fill my closet/home with. I just had to get my hands on a few of my favorite pieces 😉
The beautiful city of Pittsburgh never ceases to amaze me! My fiance Schyler and I are originally from Washington but we have moved all over the country in the past 8 years that we’ve been dating. Portland, Nashville, and now Pittsburgh! We have lived in Pittsburgh for a little over a year now and still have so many places to explore. We’ve checked out a few parts of Schenley Park and Phipps Conservatory of course but we didn’t know about this trail located next to the Schenley Park Visitor Center & Cafe. We decided to check it out to admire the beautiful fall leaves that have started turning all over the city!
If you are looking for some easy, last minute Halloween costumes, I’ve rounded up some fun ideas for you! I loved styling these 5 halloween costume ideas over the month! I’m very frugal and I like to pick Halloween costumes that I can DIY without having to buy anything. That’s why all 5 of these characters had to have style that would be easy to re-create with closet staples/basics. Most of the pieces in my closet are actually thrifted so you can easily find similar pieces at your local thrift store, but I’ve also linked similar items below for each outfit that you can get on Amazon! I’m sharing one look for each character here but you can check out the full blog posts for more looks: Wednesday Addams, Monica Geller, Audrey Hepburn, Lorelai Gilmore, and Selena Quintanilla.
This fall I wanted to style some fun Halloween costume ideas to share with you guys! I’m very frugal so I like to pick Halloween costumes that I can DIY without having to buy anything. One of the icons whose style I wanted to re-create was Selena Quintanilla! My mom bought me the movie about her life for my birthday when I was little and I was obsessedddd. I love her casual 90’s style! Her concert looks would have been a little hard for me to re-create with pieces from my closet but her 90’s style is easy to replicate with closet staples. Most of the pieces in my closet are actually thrifted so you can easily find similar pieces at your local thrift store, but I’ve also linked similar items below for each outfit that you can get on Amazon! If you are looking for another easy costume idea, check out my Wednesday Addams blog post here, my Monica Geller blog post here, my Audrey Hepburn blog post here, and my Lorelai Gilmore blog post here.

I’m a few days late but I wanted to share something for #nationalhispanicheritagemonth! My mom and her family are from Colombia, a beautiful country in South America that I have been fortunate enough to visit a handful of times. The beautiful necklace I’m wearing in this photo was my abuelita’s, one of the few pieces of her’s my mom gave me. My parents have also given me cowhide rugs, throw blankets, rugs, + other decorative pieces like this wind-chime that I love the style of! I’ve kept these pieces with me through all the moves over the years and they were a huge influence when I was decorating the space. They make me feel more connected to my Hispanic heritage! There are many beautiful areas of Colombia that I would love to explore and I definitely plan to travel there in the few years.
