I hope you all had a nice holiday weekend. Ours was the same as every other weekend lately — except with about 10 gajillion fireworks going off all hours of the night. But the most exciting part of the day for me was going straight past the festivities and into bed at 9pm. Not even…
Well. It’s July. I don’t really know how I feel about that. On one hand, this is shaping up to be a terrible summer, but it’s still going by pretty fast. And the faster we get this year over the better! Haha! Stevie is finishing up his last week of summer school, on the heels…
Boy oh boy, have I been feeling homesick lately. Not for home — lord know we’ve seen nothing but these walls the past 3 months — but homesick for anywhere BUT home. Homesick for the feeling of wandering. Packing a suitcase and leaving our troubles behind. To be honest, I’m not even a great traveler…
I didn’t dip into my capsule much this weekend at all — mostly because my new lounge wear arrived. As soon as it got delivered Friday afternoon, I tried it on. And didn’t take it off until after I cleaned the house Sunday. It’s that good. I normally recommend avoiding impulse buys, but I’ve had…
I haven’t had much energy to try and look especially put together this week — I think I only got dressed twice. I do find that I’m fighting with myself, feeling kinda all over the place. We got news that Stevie’s school in the Fall will definitely not be full-time, so we are looking at…
The internet (or at least the slow fashion community) is all abuzz about Everlane… again. The brand has come under fire quite a few times for missteps in their business practices, and I wanted to share this latest information with you. Please see this post for the details. It’s upsetting to read isn’t it? I…
I haven’t talked much about shopping addiction lately, because… well, I haven’t been struggling with it. Yay! After accepting quarantine life and putting together my summer capsule, it was pretty clear that I don’t need anything, and I felt so surprisingly satisfied with that. In fact, it was roughly 10 days ago that I told…
Every so often I will get a gifted article of clothing from a brand. It’s not something that happens regularly, but occasionally I will find something that fits my lifestyle and needs. As of late, I have started to approach gifted items the way that I approach shopping, and I use #thefourshoppingrules before picking anything…
Before I talk about Birkenstocks, let’s talk about what’s going on here in the ol’ Jaana brain. Just when I think I’m getting used to quarantine life, it hits me that summer is only beginning. The days are so long, and with Stevie being high risk, we are in no hurry to get out and…
I have heard chatter over the last few years that a chambray shirt is no longer in style. It is OUT! Is that true? Or are we just bored with the idea? Styles come and go so quickly these days, sometimes we don’t even have time to let a trend catch on before it’s gone.…
