If we had to choose a capsule wardrobe to wear every day in the fall, it would probably be jeans with a tee and a cashmere sweater. Casual luxury that looks put together and is comfortable. Throw on a nice pair of shoes (loafers are big for fall, as are ballet flats and clogs) grab […]

My ideal vacation revolves around hiking, eating, shopping, and friends so when the opportunity arose for a backpacking trip to the Dolomites in Northern Italy I jumped all over it! Hiking in the Dolomites:   How to Get There: Our home base for the backpacking trip was Cortina, about a 2 hour gorgeous drive from

We love a good Target run! We both popped into our local Targets this week and wanted to share some good finds. Whether you’re looking for back-to-school items, homewares, or something for your wardrobe, they have some good options worth a look right now! Note: We are not necessarily adding all of these to our

Many of you have children headed off to/back to college. Now that Bed Bath & Beyond is only online (sniff, sniff – I guess I need to finally throw out all those 20% off coupons we’ve tucked away for years ‘just in case’) and you don’t have the easy ‘order everything you need and pick

Prime Day offers some great deals, whether you’re looking to stock up on basics or get that ‘something special’ that goes on deep discount.

Most of us do not ‘need’ much in the way of material goods. Our closets are full, our homes are furnished and decorated and our kitchens and pantries are stocked. But sometimes something new is needed or wanted. A gift for a birthday. A new dress for an upcoming wedding. A new pair of summer
