Cold Weather

Shuffle Off to Buffalo

December is one of my favorite months to dress for. There’s just something so festive about the month and the cold air still feels exciting not miserable (yet). I partnered with Nordstrom for this post and it may be my favorite holiday look yet.

Gift Guide for the Girl You Love

These are some of my ideas for great gifts, all of which I’d love to receive myself. So bookmark this page or send to someone to drop a not-so-subtle hint!

7 Treats to Make this Holiday Season

My mouth was watering as I read the draft of Louisa’s post for today. And it was perfect timing. I’m starting to put together a list of all the people I want to give little holiday “thank you” notes to (the dogs’ vet, their doggy daycare, our apartment concierge, gym instructor, etc.) and wanted to…
