Ready for the crisp air and cozy homes. And once again the fall 2022 shoe trends make me want to stack my closet with new shoes. Platforms are in and in a lovely array of colors.…

    Fall Fashion Finds

    I miss this blog. So much has happened and I have so much to share and many blog posts in the works, but for now I thought I’d do a quick roundup of some fall fashion finds.  …

    What the Desert Taught Me

    I pull my bike out of the back of my dad’s Subaru, mulling over the fact I should really buy a bike rack for Arizona. The dusty tire marks are all over the back of the car: the windows and the side walls. Not much to be done for that when you’re in the desert. Leaning the bike against the car, I decide on the final route I’ll ride this evening while I start my Apple Watch exercise tracker as well as Strava. Did you even ride if you didn’t track it? I tuck my phone away in my hip pack. I’m vaguely aware of the cars on the highway immediately behind me, and I’m continually scanning the new arrivals at the lot. It’s not lost on me that this sport is primarily dominated by men. I have a knife in my hip pack just in case. I’ve never felt unsafe while riding alone except for that one time I got catcalled while heading into the trails, but I am always aware. Just in case. I pull my knee pads up, lock the car, another quick check that my hip bag is zipped, and that I’ve got both bottles of…

    The Witch’s Bedroom

    Quite a bit has changed in the last few months which I’ll not detail here, but I’m in a new space and fully embraced the interior designer in me and have slowly started to put the space together.

    Femme Luxe Finery: Spring Style Picks Review

    Hello readers, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything mostly due to how busy I’ve been with work and travel (at least up until the past month!) Femme Luxe Finery reached out to me to do a blog collab and it’s been fun to dive back into styling outfits and it’s honestly been a nice distraction from everything happening in the world at the moment. Femme Luxe Finery is an affordable U.K. based brand (with a U.S. online store) with a large range of stylish, chic and sexy clothes. In the last few months I’ve started to look for more feminine and chic pieces, and Femme Luxe Finery has what I’m looking for. They reached out and let me pick four pieces to review for the blog and these are the pieces I chose. And they are all black because I live in Seattle and we don’t wear bright colors here (I’m kidding, but I love black, black, black.) Black Polka Dot Mesh Top Mini Dress The first item I chose was this black polka dot mesh top mini dress. I paired it with a blazer as the top of it is mesh so it is a bit sheer.…
