hello, i live here now
If you had told me, one year ago, that at this time next year I’d be waking up in the Swedish countryside to this view, I’d have laughed in your face. Yet, here I am. As with almost everything in my life, this situation is only temporary (we are going to try to eventually buy […]

spring to do list
Is declaring a to-do list for the spring season on Feb 27 a bit premature? Probably, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue and all I can think about is SPRING. Fresh, bright, shiny spring. I’m looking so forward to longer days, warmer temps, and, just recently, the option of whether or […]

a little off-the-shoulder romance
I’m having a little love affair… That is, with a clothing item. Just to be clear. You may remember this top from my Valentine’s Day beauty post, and I’m happy to say I’m just as in love with it now as I was then. This black top is my new favorite item in my closet. The […]

the little black dress
An outfit post! At long last ☺ Temps are rising, and I am more than ready! I got to bust this little number out for a casual date night, and, let me tell ya, it felt SO GOOD to put something on and just go, without the usual gloves-hat-socks-boots-etc. routine. This dress is a cheapie […]

stripes and side parts
Glimpses of spring have been peeking out, and it feels amazing. As I outlined in my spring edit post, leopard flats are going to be a staple for me this season, and these beauties from Target ($6.00 on sale!!!) have already been in heavy rotation. Paired with a striped button-down shirt, black skinnies, and a […]

spring edit
Spring is my favorite month, fashion-wise. After all, it’s not too hot, all you need is a light jacket! <== name that movie!But seriously, it’s so much easier to look put-together when you’re a) not freezing to death or b) sweating buckets because it’s so hot. It’s the perfect in-between weather. My spring essentials are […]

spring to do list
March 1 marks the beginning of spring in my books. I know that, being in Colorado, we might still get snow in May (please, God, no), but I’m trying to be optimistic. I think Fort Collins is getting on board, too, with restaurants opening their patios, the sun staying out until 6:30 pm, and cyclists […]

key lime pie
An actual recipe post? Can it be? Last weekend, we were invited to a potluck and, on a whim, I decided to make and bring a homemade key lime pie. With it’s fresh lime flavor, key lime pie just screams ‘spring’ to me and once I got the idea in my head, I couldn’t get […]

spring blues
Last week marked the first official day of spring, and I could not be happier. Unlike those poor souls on the east coast, we’ve been having pretty typical spring weather – rain showers, sun, wind, chilly mornings, blooming trees, etc., etc. That’s been great and all, but the real reason I’m excited for spring? FASHION! […]

lately
It’s been awhile since there’s been a ‘lately’ post up here! Blame it on being busy, bad weather, laziness (most likely), bla bla bla…who really cares? Here’s a quick snapshot of what life has been like lately. {first signs of spring} {weekend baking = homemade lemon tart (recipe here)} {supporting the husband-to-be at this awesome […]
