Brian Mattinson Photography Fun at The Pfister Hotel A couple months back, during an unseasonably warm Wisconsin weekend, some blogger babes and I booked ourselves a little stay-cation at Milwaukee’s famous Pfister Hotel. In the heart of downtown Milwaukee, this architectural stunner definitely stands out with very regal feels. Once inside, the amazing classical interiors

Date Night Dress
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

Long Camel Coat
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

Blush on Blush
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. You can’t even wear blush pink!” But both items looked so winter-y pretty, I bought them anyway. I mean, pink chenille and pink pleated crushed velvet. Sold. I tried the skirt

Trend Lightly
“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

Cropped Crushed Velvet
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.
