Leopard. I am seeing it everywhere and I cannot get enough. Leopard and animal prints continue to be on trend and will continue through to the fall season. But the…
Memorial Day weekend isn’t just an extended holiday weekend for me and my husband Michael. May 25th is our wedding anniversary and it almost always falls on the holiday weekend. To kick off the celebration of seven years of marriage, I planned a weekend that we would both enjoy; a night at the Iron Horse Hotel and a weekend of brunching and exploring Walker’s Point. Michael has been dying to get to the Iron Horse and the hotel was kind enough to partner with us to start the weekend off great.
I found this beautiful funky sweater at TJ Maxx. It was on sale for $28.00, and had only one issue… it was size 1XL. My friend suggested I try it on anyway, so I threw it on in the aisle over my blazer/tank combo and thought it was so cute. Do sizes reallllly matter though? I usually look at sizing at normal retail stores, but I can tell you when it comes to vintage shopping, I NEVER look. And it’s funny when people ask what number size I am… I have NO idea.
Are you weird on sizing too?

It’s wedding season baby! The anxiety has kicked in.. what do I wear to my co-worker’s wedding where I don’t know anyone? Is it appropriate to wear red to a conservative wedding? It’s a good friend’s wedding, can I rock off the shoulder? YES!
The dress I am rocking is from Lizzibeth here in Milwaukee and would be perfect for a summer wedding! What I appreciate about shopping local is you are most likely not going to be wearing the same thing as anyone else because boutiques only have a few sizes! You can find Lizzibeth in the Historic Third Ward and also shop her pieces online here!
Do you have any favorite wedding dresses? Anything but white, people!

I have some exciting partnerships happening this Summer! One is with Harley-Davidson footwear! I was thrilled when they reached out to me about their newest Spring/Summer collection. As some of you may not know, my husband is a Mechanical Engineer for Harley Davidson, so I thought this would be a blast to team up! Not to mention, my husband is not a fan of photos or social media so some amazing boots were a good bribe to get him to take a few photos.
