Lob with Bangs: Fall 2016 Hairstyle

November 18, 2016 | 4 Comments

My hair is in an awkward stage. The angled a-line bob is now growing into what I believe is called (attractively) a “lob”… but it needs some serious shaping. I’ve been hanging out in this limbo land for a while because I’ve been trying to decide whether to cut it again or let it grow…

Beach vacation must-haves

May 23, 2016 | 1 Comment

This year marks a milestone for my husband and myself. We’ve never been on a true “beach” vacation together… in the past, we’ve always done big city vacations like Chicago and Portland. But this year is our ten year anniversary and I told the Mr. that we are going to sit on a beach and…

What I Wore: April Edition

April 19, 2016 | 1 Comment

Happy Tuesday!

We keep having funny weather here in Colorado, which is making my wardrobe completely schizophrenic. One day I’m wearing a dress and sandals, and the next I’m in a sweater, jeans and boots. It can go from 75 to 39 overnight – from sun to snow. It’s all very confusing.

Since I can’t pack away all my winter clothes just yet and my spring/summer clothes are already out for those random warm days, I am taking the opportunity with this very full closet to mix and match in new ways.

Fall has officially arrived! Not only is it fall according to the calendar, but our temps have finally dropped and we’ve been having rain and chilly nights. I didn’t think I was ready for the cooler weather, but oh man, I am loving it. Sunday was one of our rainy, cold days, so I got…

Lace shorts for fall transition (WIWW)

It’s been a long time since I posted fashion photos. Contrary to what you may believe, I have still been getting dressed. And I do still love me some shopping and putting together outfits. But ever since we moved to a new place back in April, I realized I haven’t taken the time to snap…

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
