There are so many things that we wear and naturally stick into categories. For the longest time Fashion considered white after Labor Day a faux pas. However, now we know there are winter whites and also it depends on how you mix and match pieces.
The same goes with lace. When we think of lace, we tend to think of warm weather ,sandals,and taking strolls through a park on a hot summer day. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit! However, you get my point. Lace is such a pretty material actually one of my fave things to wear as you can tell by the name lol!
Here I wanted to show a couple of ways to wear it!
So my usual vibe is Boho all day long! One of the latest things I have purchased is this super cool pair of bloomers! At the time I had no idea how I was going to wear them but I knew I had to find a way! I decided I should keep the skin exposed to a minimum so that I don’t look like I’m wearing pajamas outside!
I paired my bloomers with an oversized plaid top, knee high boots and socks!
I purchased the bloomers on Etsy! Just search bloomers!

The great thing about the 4th of July weekend like so many other holidays; is that there are usually a plethora of sales! Since we are still in the middle of summer it’s great to have a mid season sale to freshen up your wardrobe!
When shopping a sale it’s a great opportunity to get that piece you’ve been longing to get and to try a new trend. It’s also a great time to snatch up a few pieces for the Fall season that may be hanging around in the sale section from last season!
Below I will show you a few of my faves from a few of my go-to stores!
Thanksgiving as you well know is this Thursday! If you still find yourself unsure of what to wear I have a few ideas that will hopefully ease those worries. Now I know we are only going to be walking from the living room to The dining room to the basement and back again! However, it’s great to look good while doing it!
My go-to is a maxi dress! A maxi allows you to move around freely and not worry too much about being cold. If you’re in a super cold climate like me(Minnesota) you should still opt for tights; however the long length adds that extra layer of warmth! Photo Credit: J.Crew.comPhoto Credit: J. Crew.com
Another personal favorite is the versatile midi dress! It’s long enough to say “hey I’m fancy” yet at the same time is short enough to were you aren’t having to walk around holding your dress up!
Classic lace is always an option! A lace dress is perfect for being your dressy go-to! You know that you’ll instantly feel fancy when you slip on a lace dress!
A slip dress is a great versatile option and would be perfect with a sweater layered over it! Make sure the sweater is a bit slouchy so go up a size if needed!
Note: Technical Glitch! For whatever reason the link to the slip dress and sweater below are at the top of the post! Both from J. Crew!
I’m loving the shoulder baring trend which is flattering on almost everyone!
This trend is one of my faves because the hint of bare skin is just enough to be flirty yet demure enough to be sweet!
Wearing Off-the Shoulder looks great casually or dressed up. For a dressy look that you could wear on a date or a night out try a dress with a clutch and strappy sandals!
No matter how you decide to wear the trend make sure to keep the look simple and keep accessories to a minimum. Most importantly have fun!
Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜

I love Spring! It’s one of the best times to play dress up because of the fun layering you can do! This outfit is simple yet has fun details!
For Spring layering I like to wear lighter pieces because it can be warmer during the day so you want to be comfortable and not overheat.
I paired a netted long sweater with a short sleeved sweatshirt to add depth and interest!
I kept the bottom half of the outfit simple with a strappy sandal and dark leggings!
I hope this inspires some Spring Layering!

The Hubby says I look like the perfect, milennial hipster in this pic! Yes, I’m a millennial. Therefore, I can laugh at myself; which I do often because what’s life without laughter! Moving Forward!
I, like a lot of people have embarked on a healthy eating journey this January. I actually have been doing a detox every January for the last 4 years and I have actually stuck it out each time and come away feeling better. This is not to brag, it is a challenge for me like most people to stick to a healthy eating routine. However, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make it a bit bearable! I will share one of them here!
I typically try to eat healthy Year-round, however, at Christmas time I indulge a lot! Therefore, January is the perfect time to reset my body and get it back to normal. For my detox I can’t have milk, which really cramps my style because I love drinking coffee, Tea and Flat Whites, it’s literally an everyday thing. I usually drink tea as a replacement for my coffee during this time. More specifically as of late I’ve been drinking Matcha. Which are green tea leaves crushed into a powder form.
I love drinking Matcha because to me it has a creamier texture on its own. It helps me deal with the lack of milk I can have. I also like how filling it is!
Click To Buy Matcha!
Click the pic for a link to buy Matcha. I bought mine at Lunds and Byerlys in Edina, MN.
Green Tea has many benefits one of which is it contains antioxidants! For me, I use it to help curb my hunger during my detox and it’s also a great way to take a relaxing moment to yourself.
You can read more about Green Tea benefits here: Green Tea Facts
Back to how I drink it!
I follow the instructions on the tea’s packaging.
Then I add: Stevia( 0 calorie all natural sweetener), Vanilla Extract, and cream when I can!
I use a honey spoon to stir my Matcha!
I hope you enjoy this yummy drink! I love to drink Matcha whether I’m detoxing or not because to me it’s delicious!
Have a great Week!

I absolutely love breakfast food and I was really craving this place called the Pancake House which serves incredible breakfast. However, it’s only open until 3PM and I knew I wouldn’t make it there in time to not be annoying to all the staff, so I employed my second option which was to make something myself! I decided to go with an Egg Bake because I wanted the meal to be hearty so my family and I could have it for dinner! This is perfect for a brunch and/or entertaining!
Prep: 5 min Cook: 1 hr This dish has about 6 to 8 servings
Supplies: 13 by 9-inch baking dish
Ingredients:
1 small-medium circular block of Brie Cheese
1 pound cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
12 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups sour cream
1/2 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 two-pack of Refrigerated Pillsbury Pie Crusts
Rosemary, White Pepper, Thyme
Butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter the 13×9” baking dish and spread one of the pie crusts to cover the bottom of the pan. You will have to flatten crust by rolling to accomplish this. Cut the Brie Cheese lengthwise and arrange flat thin slices to cover the entire pie crust in pan.
Whisk the eggs with the sour cream and whipping cream in a large bowl until blended. Season with pepper, Rosemary, White Pepper, and Thyme, blend it evenly . Pour the eggs over the Brie cheese and pie crust bottom into the pan . Spread the cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. Roll out and Cut the second pie crust into thin strips and do a criss-cross pattern if possible over the top, and bake in the middle of the oven until golden, about 45 minutes. Salt to taste. Enjoy with coffee and bacon!
Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜
