Must Have: Loft

I'm not sure when it happened, but I basically only want to buy pants at Loft now. Part of it is style, but the other part is that they carry petite styles in the store. I don't have time to be ordering pants online anymore and I am sick and tired of tailoring every single pair of pants I buy.

After deciding I needed some new work pants and riding out a month long spending fast, I swung by Loft and came home with these:

Essential Skinny Ankle Pants in Marisa Fit

A few more marisa fit pants I have my eye on: petalwork | rust pink | foulard

They fit perfectly. They are tailored, but not too tight, and they move like a dream. I bought a pair in navy but am seriously considering picking up another pair in black. They are currently $20 off regular price!

Must Have: Perfect Curvy Petite Skinny Jeans

I have been on the hunt for the perfect dark wash petite skinny jeans for an eternity. I don't think I have ever been able to just buy a pair that didn't need some sort of alteration. And then I found these:

Petite Curvy High Waist Skinny Jeans - $70 ($42 with the current 40% off promo)

I have worn them about 12 times in two weeks. They are so perfect, 

I found a few other things that I'm loving at LOFT right now:

Blocked Merino Wool Jacket
Lace Sleeve Tee (on sale)
Roped Crystal Statement Necklace
Drapey Split Neck Blouse
Curvy High Waist Sailor Pencil Skirt

House Tour: 625 West

I promised to post a house tour months ago. And then the house sale got complicated. Super complicated. And I just couldn't find the mental energy to post about our house that had "sold so quickly" when the entire thing seemed to be crumbling under my feet. It only took 5 good offers and 3 different contracts to get this house sold.

I loved this house so much but by the end of it, I couldn't even look at it anymore. The process of selling it began to feel like an active betrayal. "I loved you so much! I put my blood sweat and tears into you. Why are you doing this to me!?" Which sounds completely insane. But that's the thing, you guys. Selling a house makes me insane. They can pull my corpse out of the next house when I am dead and gone.

So, many months later, here is the house tour. There were many projects I hoped to complete and didn't get to, but I am incredibly proud of the things we accomplished.

Inspired: J.Crew Factory Looks for Fall

Some of my favorite fashion comes at the transition of seasons. I love how cozy a sweater feels after the leaves begin to fall and how great a new pair of boots are just as it starts to snow. I am getting jazzed for cold weather fashion. After two long years in the land without seasons, I am still excited that I actually get to experience fall and winter. Don't take the seasons for granted, kids.

I am especially loving that toggle coat, printed dress, and fabulous gold cap toe pumps.

J.Crew Factory is offering 25% off everything right now. 

Here are a few of my favorite things right now (all under $50):

colorblock ponte dress

waffle sweater in colorblock
