Two Brands I'll Be Wearing All Summer

in

The first time my husband and I visited Seattle together was in May 2014. Ten years ago! We had just decided to uproot our lives in Chicago and make the big move out west. We arrived with hopes to find a place to live which was SUCH a mad dash with some more than interesting experiences learning about the crazy Seattle market! We also enjoyed a lot of adventures and started envisioning our lives here.

Flash forward ten years, we’re really feeling settled. It takes forever. MAN, does it take forever! We rented and moved around and started having kids and changed jobs and everything has been up in the air like crazy, except that right now we are just cruising, and it feels really good. I love our house that we’re renovating slowly but surely, and I’m loving our neighborhood which has this incredible spot, Kubota Garden, just a few blocks away. This time of year it’s downright Seussical with its big rhododendron blooms and bursting greens.

Today I enjoyed a stroll around the garden in some new pieces from some of my favorite brands, Tradlands and Freda Salvador. Both are women-owned sustainable brands with incredible attention to quality and craftsmanship. I’ve partnered with them for a little while and am really proud to be a part of their community.

Your Fall Everlane Capsule

in ,

Something happened yesterday, and all of a sudden I felt like a little fish that was scooped up from one tank and dropped into another. I checked my horoscope to make sure Mercury wasn’t in retrograde (which LOL it begins today), so there’s that. But isn’t it always in retrograde? Aren’t we all always struggling a little in one way or another, even amidst thriving? Fall presents an opportunity to dig into our goals and passions a bit and to redirect the energy we’re spending if needed. A fresh few core wardrobe pieces always helps act as a physical reminder that we are evolving beings and that we can layer on or off elements of ourselves as they’re serving us (or not).

So take a look at this roundup of fall capsule pieces that I think you’ll love, and that I will be styling in a million ways nonstop this fall. Tell me which is your favorite in the comments!

Welcoming Spring with Everlane

in

I’ve loved Everlane for years for their quality basics that feel timeless. They have such a knack for classic design that feels elevated and casual at once. I was really excited to level up my spring wardrobe with a few additions. Seattle springs can be a slow crawl, and layering is always key. I was excited to trade out my raincoat for this fresh trench in a classic checkerboard pattern. It makes a plain white tee and jeans feel really special!

As a stylist, I love being able to reach for essential, wardrobe-building pieces like these for myself and my clients. Everlane pieces are core building blocks for a wardrobe. Once that foundation is built, you can add in pieces and shop easily without having that “but what will I wear this with?” moment.

Here are the pieces that Everlane kindly gifted me:

Trench

Tee

Jeans

Flats

The trench was perfect for pastries and a stroll when my friend Lora came to visit!
