During one of our chats, my photographer Amanda, a Wisconsin native, suggested we take a trip to the Mitchell Park conservatory domes. YES! Great idea. Upon entering,
Photography by Amanda Vick Date Night Dress Sometimes a girl just needs to put on something more than a pair of jeans and boots for date night. Sometimes we want to feel more fancy… Put on some heels, show some leg, order a martini! Maybe going to your local/regular spot? Maybe you’re trying a new
I’m SO in love with my new Winter coat! You could say this was a Christmas present to myself. As my personal outerwear story is a tale of woe… After buying a bright yellow puffy coat in college I decided I wanted “pretty” coats and began my coat collection by charging a red wool peacoat
When Winter is in full swing and it’s freezing cold, all I want to do is stay as cozy as possible ALL OF THE TIME! Each year I buy and buy, sweater to cozy sweater. I feel like Sam of Quantum Leap, hoping that the next sweater will be the final sweater. The warmest sweater.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Henesy Family So excited to finally share our family holiday studio session! All of our friends and family have received their Christmas cards and with just 2 weeks to go, everyone is officially in the holiday spirit! I have to confess, at 36 years young, I’ve actually
Blush on blush. Texture on texture. Yes and YES! When I first thought of pairing this skirt and sweater together I thought, “Lauren, get real.

And that feels like more work when trying to get dressed. This sweater season though, I rekindled my love
A couple weeks back we had a babysitter planned and the opportunity for a much needed date night. Then the question was where to go for an adult dinner out for the first time in months? My husband works in downtown Milwaukee and heard there was a new restaurant in the Westin Milwaukee. I love
“Trend lightly.” My personal style motto. Also, the what and why behind my fashion blog. Trends will come and go, ebb and flow in and out of style. I’ve always been able to navigate the trends and wear them in regular, everyday life. I strive to share not just the “what”, but the “how” to
Photos by Double You Photography Just a few seasons ago crop tops made a very strong comeback. And very recently we’ve seen velvet and notably, crushed velvet, has also made a comeback. I think deep down I always knew it would be back in style. But the years in between, crushed velvet looked so tacky
~Photos by Vanessa Jordan Photography~ Fall fashion is upon us and that means shopping and wardrobe updates. Given my obsession with ribbons and bows, I’m TOTALLY loving this sash pant trend so much! You mean I can tie a pretty bow right at my waistline? Yep! I always shop the sale sections because the
~Midwest Winter Maternity~ My third trimester began right about the same time that the 2016 winter arrived. Other women have said that being pregnant in the summer is the worst because it’s hot, and you’re huge and sweaty. But the grass is always greener and at this point, I have to disagree.
