The time has come as we now turn the page to perhaps the most eagerly anticipated holiday of the year...Christmas.  From the smell of fresh cut pine to baking up delicious morsels in the Christmas kitchen, the holiday and its entire season evoke the most magical of precious memories deep within me.  Sharing that joy comes in many forms and fashions with gifting friends and loved being but only one of them.   Today I am celebrating that facet with a well-curated capsule of some of the most-loved gift options the women in your life will adore.  Cosy jumpers, hand-warming gloves, the most delicious winter warming scents, a classic handbag and, of course, a few spoily presents for yourself make up my classic holiday gift list.  

I truly hope you find something you love here.  But, more importantly, I wish you a blessed Christmas season that is filled with the truest gifts of all...family, good health, memory making and time to spend enjoying all the things you treasure the most.  Cheers to it all!

September rolls in on the heel's of August and summer's golden hour.  Now that the autumn harvest is upon us, it's time to unearth all of those gorgeous soft, cosy knits and warmer layers. And while their intention may be practical, their aesthetic will always be collegiate style against the backdrop of apple orchards and farmer's markets along the countryside.

Barn jackets, classic denim and time-tested cardigans make for my idea of the best laid style plans, steeped in comfort and rich in history.  Each piece, a treasure in its own right and together, a true reflection of one's affinity for an effortless signature look.

The beauty of such iconic pieces is how simple they are to pair and the endless ways wear them.  With so many fun and lovely ways to enjoy the days this season, items like these are a welcome way to meet each moment with poise and ease.

Below I have linked pieces here or ones similar.  I hope you find the ones that feel like home to you.  Happy autumn!

Sweet, glorious, sensual American sunshine.  It fills our days and lifts our spirits all year long but never more so than during the summer months.  Today I'm celebrating the solstice season with these sun-inspired items that work together or on their own to help you bask in the beauty of these summer months.

Yellow is having a moment this season and I believe that is with good reason.    This happy color looks good on so many skin tones as its hue is easily adjustable to fit with your personal color story that flatters you best.  It also signals positive messages to our brain that make us feel a sense of joy whenever we envision it.

Here I've chosen a variety of pieces with which you can build several different looks to suit your needs.  I know for me, I love a pretty sundress as it easily drapes across the body while enhancing one's curves in the loveliest ways possible. They are easy to wear and you can simply dress them up or down according to where it is you wish to go whilst wearing them.

Another item I can never stop donning during summer are smart, tailored shorts.  Unlike some of the styles that are known for being less than desirable, these are beautifully designed to flatter and always look effortlessly polished.  Classic tops as well as those with a bit more whimsy round out the outfit in a way that best suits your style and look you are going for.  I love finishing things off with a classic pair of sandals or ballet flats.  Each look equally refined and can adjust to the time and place at hand.  Simple jewelry, a straw tote and sunglasses finish it all off and have you looking like you have given such care and attention to yourself, which you have but in the easiest of ways.

Simple pieces and classic styles can transform the everyday into a moment of poise and polish which is something I absolutely love.  These tips are adaptable to so many looks and will work for you no matter your preference of style.  I've linked the pieces mentioned here for you down below.  Let me know how you get on with them.
