Remember our blog post in April about the new Roar

Remember our blog post in April about the new Roaring 20s? Turns out our prediction was correct and parties are in full swing. We have had a few appointments this month dressing clients for their upcoming weddings and galas!

Do you have any events coming up? And do you plan to shop in person or online? Let us know, we’re curious! There has been a lot of buzz about the decline of the department store lately, but we know there is a huge divide between people who love shopping online and those who hate it.

If you’ve seen my stories this week, you know th

If you’ve seen my stories this week, you know that we’re currently on vacation in the #PNW. And for the first time in my adult life, I set an #OOO email auto-responder for two weeks to take time off and relax with my family. Despite knowing that time off makes me a better parent and entrepreneur, I can’t help but write my weekly newsletters and answer emails during my vacations! Do you feel similarly?

Read this week’s blog and use this as your sign to take a #mommysabbatical. Take that weekend off, book a night at a hotel, explore a nearby city or attraction. If I can do it, you can too!

Last day of first and third grades yesterday. Thankfully the last of their four school terms was able to be conducted safely in person. 4 days a week anyway! May I never hear the term virtual school again.
We made it!

☀️ We are fully embracing summer in my househo

☀️ We are fully embracing summer in my household. We’ve been spending a ton of time outside on our newly redecorated balcony and at our community pool, which of course called for new summer outfits and the dreaded bathing suit shopping. If you also hate bathing suit shopping, here are my tips.

1. Order online! Fitting room lighting is brutal, so just skip all of that nonsense and head straight for the computer.

2. Find a trend or color-combo that inspires you. I was so in love with the aqua/turquoise color combo offered in the @LandsEnd one-piece, that I was excited to order and try on the suit and matching ombre cover-up dress pictured here!

Head to our blog to view this year’s bathing suit trends and get excited about a summer of normalcy where we can swim, have BBQs with friends, and go to the beach!

Do you have new standards of comfort from being at

Do you have new standards of comfort from being at home that you’ll bring with you back to the office? You’ve probably gotten used to elastic waist pants, stretchy and soft layers, and comfortable (or no!) bras? We get it, and we agree. We rounded up our favorite wireless bras based off our favorites, our clients’ favorites, and our magical lingerie expert Cynthia’s favorites! Whether you need more support or just want a comfortable bralette, we have options. Click the link in our bio to read!
