Madewell Sale, Spring & Summer Must-Have’s

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. I’m hopping on for Thrifty Thursday and sharing an unusual Thursday blog post rather than a Friday, as the Madewell 20% off sale in the Like to Know It app starts today and goes until the 13th. I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to grab some of my favorite picks you’ll wear all Spring and Summer on sale. 

You’ll love the pieces I picked out during a little try-on haul at Madewell in California this week. They’re perfect for Spring and Summer. These pieces can be mixed and matched, and they’re ideal for Memorial Weekend, BBQs, picnics, Travel every day, and Summer Holidays. I love the red accessories for a pop of color. View the Try-on HERE

I did this fun try-on with my girlfriend Danielle while in California, and I should have shared her try-on with you as well! I’ll share her picks below, as they looked darling on her and will on you, too. She’ll be shopping these pieces on the sale today as well.

On another note, my week in California was jam-packed, and I’ll share all about it next week.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing all things Spring, from Spring wardrobe basics, Spring Trends, Spring dresses, Shoes & Bags, Vacation looks, Spring Makeup, Spring sweaters, Spring denim, and what I’ll be wearing as well as what I purchased.

Trending items in fashion for 2024. has a little elegance, and you’ll see things dressed up with attention to detail. I also love the hint of romance that is coming, such as floral accessories; bye to Barbie Core, and welcome to Ballet Core. (think tulle and ribbons & and bows.) Metallic comes in more substantial, denim is on Denim, and leopard print is making a splash again. We’ll also see a lot more elevated basics versus less athleisure.

Colors and Fabric for Spring 2024

You will see richer hues and less pink. More Reds, Cornflower, navy, cobalt blue, shades of butter & sunshine yellow, and pretty greens from Olive to seafoam. As far as prints are concerned, leopards and stripes are taking the stage, and spring florals are taking a back seat. This is not to say you won’t see florals in the spring, but there will be less than in prior years. Stripes are coming in hot, perfect for the coastal vibe. Denim on Denim is a classic in my book, but we see it in accessories this spring as well.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great weekend. We finished our huge garage remodel and organization, and it looks so good! I’m glad that the project is over. I’m now moving on to getting my office/studio/coset finished. House projects have been consuming us as we are trying to complete everything and 100% remodel to get our home listed.

Now, enough of that, and let’s move on to what I wanted to share today. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time. 

One of this Spring season’s HOTTEST colors is cornflower Blue💙 paired with Camel and white… You can never go wrong with this color combo….Mix and match it anyway; it will look polished and put together. An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time: The right color combination can create great outfits, which makes it easy to shop your closet.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

 

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

I have styled an Amazon blue & white striped button-up shirt with Spanx white flared jeans and the “3rd piece” Camel-colored faux leather jacket. Perfect for the Office, a lunch date, a cute teacher outfit, or just grabbing a coffee with a friend. 

Tips that pull this look together

Tip: I tied the 3rd piece with a cap-toe ballet flat (the shoe’s base is Camel), which balances the jacket color. I also added a 4th color, the navy, in my bag💙 This adds a little texture to the look. Finish the outfit with gold accessories: A bracelet stack mix of Julie Vos & Lisi Lurch, a necklace stack, and earrings by Julie Vos.

Stay Current In Fashion: What I Won’t Be Doing in 2024 Part 2

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Monday, and I hope your week is off to a great start. Today, I wanted to bring to you Things you can still do in fashion and look current at any age without having to change your whole wardrobe just by making some little tweaks and not feeling like you have to jump on board with what you are seeing currently on trend or suggested on how you clean out your wardrobe. 

I have started a series called “What I won’t be doing in 2023” In which I share baby steps in how you can accomplish a wardrobe that will have you looking chic and feeling good at any age without breaking the bank and having to start from scratch as well as helping you find your style while building a classic wardrobe that will fit your body type.

Each week I will be sharing “What I won’t be doing” along with the “WHY” and “TIPS” that you can use as suggestions to help you make decisions in your wardrobe, which I think can be helpful for you to follow, clean out and purchase smarter.

  • Feeling the need to Clear out everything in my closet.

 ✨Won’t be getting rid of all my low-rise Jeans/Pants!

Here’s why:

Dress for your body type Not for what’s trending… Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t BE TRENDY…

What this means is to wear styles that are flattering on your shape and that you feel good in. So, if low-rise jeans/pants work on your shape great wear them. Keeping them current could mean picking a low rise in a straight leg or a flare, and maybe not a skinny.

Now if you love and look good in a skinny jean. Maybe try it in a Trending mid or high-rise style and see if that works on your body type.

It’s about balancing what looks good on you and what’s on trend.

✨Jumping On Every Trend in 2024✔️

Here’s why:

This has a lot to do with the above… It’s important to dress for your body type and feel good in what you wear.

Another way to Stay current with your wardrobe & wear what looks good on you is to pick a trending color or wear one trendy piece you do feel & look good in.

Tip: You may not like every trend, and that’s ok. it’s a suggestion on what’s current but not a must!

TIP: Trends are a great place to SAVE money when building your wardrobe… Don’t Spend a lot of money on trending pieces… Save that for the classic quality wardrobe builders. 

(Watch for my Save & Splurge) in Stories and over on LTK… I share them often!

Tip: Pick up Trending pieces at places like Nordstrom Rack, Target, Walmart, Amazon, TjMax,

Forever 21, H&M, or wait for a SALE.

By all means, if you LOVE a trend and you think you’ll wear that piece to death. Buy it🖤✔️ If you don’t pass on it✔️

✨Feeling the Need to Clear out everything in my Closet✔️

Here’s why:

When you build a great classic wardrobe full of good staple pieces, they don’t go out of style. 

That’s why they’re called classics, you can transition them from season to season year after year.  Read my Building a Classic Wardrobe post HERE.

I have pieces in my wardrobe I still wear that are 20 years old… Good quality pieces last, You can wear them year after year and I highly recommend you splurge on a few of them. This also means you don’t have to purchase them or clear them out as often

You may have noticed I have been sharing small tips on what you may want to keep and what you may want to clear out. I have a blog post coming next week on tips to help you clean out your closet. ( I might have to make this a series as well.)

Details on the outfit above:

This outfit looks and feels current. Yet the jeans are old (22-25 years old) The rise is lower, yet it’s a straight leg. Lower rise isn’t trending yet straight leg is, so they still feel current. I like the way my body looks in a lower rise, I am short-waisted so a lower rise helps create a waist on my body structure. The Straight leg keeps the jeans from feeling “dated” whereas if this low rise was a skinny jeans it would feel like a dated pair of jeans. Do you now see what makes a difference? 

Now, If you have skinny jeans you like and feel good in, what will make them look like current jeans is to have a midrise or highrise to them. Low-rise jeans aren’t “trending” and “skinny Jeans aren’t trending so those would look dated. Unless you wore a tunic or oversized sweater with tall boots. Like I did in the photo below.

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday! Is it me or do the weeks keep going by faster and faster? I’ve had the whole week to myself, as my guys went to Las Vegas for a Formal one-race week. I was supposed to go and decided I would really like to have time alone at home to get caught up and get things done. Although I did accomplish quite a bit, I didn’t get everything checked off my list, and a little disappointed that tie just flies by. Do you ever feel like that? Or do we just try to accomplish too much in too short of time?

What’s Happening today

Today, I decided to do a little different share for Friday, As all of the Black Friday sales are starting or starting soon, I thought it would be a good idea to combine a great gift guide that is all items on SALE. Who doesn’t want to purchase great gifts and get them on sale? A sales round-up with shopping links and discount codes to save even more was something I thought you would love.

My Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now, Some sales have already started and some are starting any day. I have shared the dates and easy links (just tap on the brand name and It will take you straight to shopping) Make sure to use the codes I’ve provided at checkout as some are stackable for more savings. Again thank you for using my links as I receive a tiny commission at no cost to you, which helps my small business. 

Below you’ll find a fun gift guide for her, of items all on sale, As well as a full Sale round-up of all the Brands I love and know you love too. Happy Sales shopping, OX

I’ve always been an old soul… 🖼️I started collect I’ve always been an old soul…

🖼️I started collecting antiques when I was 16… I didn’t want a car, I fell in love with an Antique dresser and mirror and asked for that as my Birthday present.

🪏I started gardening and baking along side my mom, probably in a high chair❤️

🍎Which lead to winning my elementary schools pie baking contest when I was in the 2nd grade..🍏Apple pie) with applies from our yard.

📚In the 3rd grade I won a hot air balloon ride for 📚reading the most books in elementary school that year.

🎨In the 5th grade I started a handmade card club at school to drop off a senior centers 

🍽️my love of entertaining, started in elementary school, For fun I would plan dinners(my mom and I would shop for them & I would cook for my family as well as set the tables pretty, have ready when my family came home. 

I had a mom who taught and shared her love of hospitality, creativity and “grandma hobbies” way before I could fall in love with Martha Stewart as a young teenager in the 80’s..

Not only did I want 17 magazine & vogue, I wanted Martha steward living, better homes and garden, Ina Gardens cook books, and anything made by Ralph Lauren .

I got my real first job at 15 (so I could buy (RL) at the cutest home decor and interiors shop, owned by the most creative and talented lady (Susie), who gave me my love of wallpaper, and playing with pretty things… I was doing her window displays at both her shops by 16… 

🌸So, I guess you could say … yes, I Skipped the midlife crisis, and  I’ve been doing “Grandma Hobbies”  my whole life!

Now… if I could just get someone to teach me Mahjong … I Really need a reason to buy these tortoiseshell scallop tile holders, pretty tiles and set a gorgeous table😉🤣

Fun fact -I grew geraniums in clay pots in my bedroom in high school… 
- I’ve had weekly fresh flowers in my home since I was 19 , even if i had to go pick wild flowers.  I’ve just lifts your mood, brings cheer to a space and makes me happy.
