Stylish & Functional Storage Solutions

This time of year always sparks a little reset around the house—decluttering, organizing, and rearranging. Lately, I’ve been loving simple storage solutions that are both functional and good-looking. H&M Home has a great mix of baskets, canvas totes, decorative boxes, and hanging storage that make it easy to keep everything in its place. Whether styled out in the open or tucked neatly away, these pieces blend right in and add a thoughtful, design-minded touch to the everyday.

The Trench Coat & Why I Love It

This rainy California weather has me thinking of the classic trench coat. No matter your style, this classic coat is a particular piece of outerwear everyone needs in their closet.

So, I am on the hunt for a new investment worthy one. Here is why I love it.

Mixing Up Your Whites for Fall

Is anyone else pulling out all of their whites and trying to wear them ASAP? While I fully admit to doing this, I am also pulling items I can continue to wear into Fall and beyond.

Dresses and Getting Dressed Up

via @misa

With dresses, I lean towards classic more fitted styles, but this past year I have been loving flowy and airy silhouettes. I am drawn to feminine, sometimes frilly looks, but I love a good neutral color, and most certainly won’t pass up a bold color or pattern.
