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...
Day to Night Styling a Graphic Tee
I know I just did a day to date night post this week but as of late I've been really focusing on how to rework pieces so that I can get the most wear out of them. I've also done some work to weekend looks and they seem to be well received so I figured why not do another one. This time styling a graphic tee. I know I could probably break these looks into multiple posts but this way you get the side-by-side and can see how you can take what you already have in your closet and make it feel fresh and new. This graphic tee is also part of ... Read more...
Day to Date Night Styling an Under $25 Amazon Dress
So you all know how much I love shopping on Amazon for clothes! I have scored so many amazing pieces for under $30. This dress is a dupe to a Leith dress that is oh so popular from Nordstrom. I have it in the sleeveless and long sleeve version and so I was really curious how this under $25 Amazon dress would compare. I have to say that I am so impressed by the quality. The material is thick enough that it feels like it holds you in a bit. The ruching is very similar to the Leith dress and I love all the color options for it. I ... Read more...
Family Fun at North Lake Tahoe
A few weekends ago Justin and I took Mason to North Lake Tahoe for the first time. We've been numerous times by ourselves, going on an annual trip with our friends, sans kids, so we decided it was time to see Lake Tahoe as a family. I knew this trip would be way different than our previous ones and I was looking forward to experiencing all the family fun that Northstar and North Lake Tahoe have to offer. I love Lake Tahoe during the summer. Probably more than I love it in the winter. While it is a beautiful winter wonderland I'm ... Read more...
Transitioning From Staying Home to Working Outside the Home
I know this is a slightly different type of post than I've been doing lately but since it is where I'm at in my life and my motherhood journey, I figured it best to share. I know I'm not alone in experiencing transitioning from staying home to working outside the home. I have been blessed to have stayed at home with Mason for almost 3 years. It's not like I haven't worked though, as I've been running Have Need Want "full-time" or as close to full-time as I can being a full-time mom. Mason has always been my number one priority and at ...

Long Shorts Trend: Styling tips for Wearing Now and in Fall
I've been loving longer shorts and I am so happy to see so many styles and at all price points. The one thing I probably love most about them is their ability to transition into Fall. Short shorts are cute in Spring and Summer but definitely harder to wear as the temps start to come down. I've worn this pair so much since I bought them back in March. I've dressed them up with heels and down with a v-neck and sandals and have even styled them for workwear with a blazer. Summer Style - T-Shirt: Universal ... Read more...
