Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...
How to Refinish Old Outdoor Wood Furniture And Give it a New Life
Justin and I got this outdoor wood furniture set as a hand me down about a year ago, just in time for Mason's 3rd birthday party. It has been my idea ever since we got it to refinish it and give it a new life. All I could do before his party last year was order new seat cushions (arm chair cushions, loveseat cushion) which was a major update in and of itself but was supposed to just be a quick fix and not the final product. I finally got around to tackling this project this past weekend. It ended up taking me 3 days to complete. I ... Read more...
Chic in Every Shade: Styling Distressed Denim Shorts
And just like that July is almost over! This year sure has been a weird one so far. I'm getting all these notifications of what we were doing last year as a family at this time and looking back on all the trips we took, is making me sad that this summer seems to be flying by and besides a camping trip over the 4th of July weekend, we've been stuck at home. The weather just like everything else going on has been all over the place. I live for the warm summer days when I can wear my shorts and tanks as well as all my summer dresses. ... Read more...
How to Dominate the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Alrighty, this is not my first rodeo! I have been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for the past few years and feel like I have a pretty good handle on things, including best practices for shopping the highly anticipated 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This year is the first and probably only year where shopping in store is not even going to be an option depending on where you live in the country. Our indoor malls have shut down again in most areas of California. I believe some Nordstrom's are still doing curbside pick up ... Read more...
Date Night Style: Faux Leather Pants
I haven't worn faux leather pants in YEARS! My first pair was from the Gap, way back when I was still a high school student. The closest I came to faux leather pants was a pair of paperbag waist faux leather shorts I bought for NYFW a few years ago and my faux leather mini skirt that I am obsessed with!! I bought these pants pre-quarantine and got them just in time for our family trip to Disneyland. I did get to wear them on that trip, but they've been sitting patiently in my closet ever since. I decided to wear them the other night ... Read more...
Smocked bodycon dress + One Day Sale!
I had my sights set on snagging this smocked bodycon dress as soon as I saw the preview for it. The multi-color floral print and ruffle details at each of the sections is beyond darling. Not to mention the ruffle hem and tie straps. Pretty much everything about this dress was calling my name. It was a limited quantity drop from Target for their summer designer dress collaboration. I know I've shared a number of the dresses I scooped up during the release and since purchasing them back in June, I have been taking any excuse to dress up ... Read more...
