Hey guys! I have some exciting news to share. I finally made the jump and expanded Life of Style to Youtube!! It is something I had been thinking about for some time. Even though the majority of stuff I share on this blog is fashion related that is only one part of my many loves. For years I have been an avid crafter and DIYer. Last Fall I shared a pumpkin craft HERE on the blog and even though I was able to share step by step instructions with pictures it is just not the same as being able to really show you how like in a video. That’s why it just made sense to expand to Youtube. As of this post, I have several craft videos for Fall and Halloween already uploaded! I am so excited to be able to share more in the future like recipes, decorating…
Good morning and happy Monday everyone! I wanted to round up some of the best loungewear pieces that are going to be available in this years Nsale. I am in love with this Ugg robe! As well as these Barefoot Dreams socks, they are the softest material. Honestly anything from Barefoot Dreams is amazing, and the Nordstrom Anniversary sale is the best time to shop this brand since it can be a bit on the pricey side. This is also a wonderful time to treat yourself to some new pajamas. I don’t know about you but I definitely wake up in a better mood when I go to bed in some cute PJ’s lol. All the items are listed below. To find out when you are eligible to shop the sale check out THIS post. I have a chart of when you can shop based on your…
Here are my top picks for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. There are honestly so many great options but these were the ones that kept catching my eye. The Nsale really is a great time to get a new coat for the upcoming seasons. I always end up picking up a couple because the sale prices are great and there are always some trendy pieces but timeless classics as well. Everything is listed below. If you see anything that catches your eye add it to your Nordstrom wishlist so you can shop the sale as soon as it goes live. If you need any information on the Nsale everything is laid out in THIS post. 1.Houndstooth Coat 2.Double Breasted Wool Blend Coat 3.Cole Haan Wrap Coat 4.Ralph Lauren Faux Shearling Moto Jacket 5.Faux Suede Moto Jacket 6.BLANKNYC Faux Suede Crop Trench 7…
So it is that time of year again, the famous Nordstrom Anniversary sale, or Nsale as it is affectionately know as, is almost upon us. This year things are running a little bit differently. All the info you need is right here. So what has changed? Well for starters there is no paper catalog this year, BUT you can browse the entire online catalog HERE. There are also different tiers this year that tell you when you are eligible to shop the sale. I’ve included a chart below. If you do not have a Nordstrom credit card and do not plan on getting one before the sale do not fret you can still shop the sale on August 19th. The only downside to waiting for the public access is that popular items will go fast and you run the risk of those items not being restocked. This is just…
Hey all! I’m back with another recipe 🙂 This is seriously one of the quickest and easiest things you will ever make! There is one caveat and that is that you need a Vitamix blender. You can absolutely try this recipe with an immersion blender or a regular blender but I’m not too sure how the texture will turn out. A Vitamix is a big investment but I honestly can’t recommend it enough. I have so many incredible Vitamix soup recipes I would love to share with you all. Because the Vitamix is so powerful you are able to get an incredibly smooth texture without the use of potatoes. I love this recipe because it is super quick, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and it is pretty low in calories since it is mostly just corn. You can get this chowder on the table in less…
exercise ball with base // Fitbit smart watch // Pilates toning bar // Apple Airpods // yoga mats // kettle bell //Exercise Bands and 2 Exercise Sliders // HydroFlask water bottle So there is no denying that the quarantine 15 have come knocking at my door. Okay maybe not “15”, but it is safe to say I’ve put on a good 5-8 pounds during these past few months. By no means is this the end of the world, but it has made me feel more sluggish and unproductive. Not only have I been guilty of snacking a bit more than usual but sitting on my bum everyday certainly has not been helping my cause. With my gym still being closed due to the virus working out has not been the easiest. I feel so unmotivated to workout at home, and I know I am not alone here! With so many other things to do…
Good morning everyone! Yesterday while trying to have a relaxing day in the backyard a pesky problem kept roaring its ugly head, mosquitoes! I love the summer but I really do hate the mosquitoes that the summer brings. I am actually a bit of a bug lover with one big exception. These mini vampires really get under my skin, literally 😉 Not only are they annoying but the fact that they carry so many different diseases is truly terrifying. So I finally had enough and went to Google to try and find some solutions. After much searching I’m confident that I’ve found some real gems. Armed with some of these I really think my backyard will finally be the mosquito free oasis I’ve been hoping for. 1.Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repeller 2.Radius Zone Mosquito Repeller 3.Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Lantern 4.DynaTrap Insect Trap…
To say I was sad when I found out that the Gal Meets Glam collection is coming to an end is a bit of an understatement. If you haven’t heard of this brand before it was created by style and beauty blogger Julia Engel. It is a collection that has been near and dear to my heart because I feel like it truly captured the spirit of girly femininity that speaks to my own personal style. In a market where clothing trends and fast fashion seems to be ever popular, Gal Meets Glam set themselves apart by being a brand that stood by classic silhouettes that stand the test of time. But due to creative differences Julia has decided to end this collection for the time being. But when life gives you lemons you have to do your best to make lemonade! The lemonade is this situation is…
How is everyone’s summer going so far? I have to say this is one of the weirdest summers I can remember. With the quarantines and limited gatherings it just doesn’t really feel like summer to me. But even with everything up in the air and all of our summer trips and plans canceled there is one summer tradition I am adamant about keeping and that is my summer reading list. Reading is absolutely one of my favorite pastimes. To be transported to a new place with new people, events, and scenes all by the words of an author is truly a gift. So grab a fruity cocktail, put on your bathing suit and get ready to be carried away by a good book (even if the only beach you’ll be seeing this summer is the one in your imagination 😉 ) 1.

So I was browsing Amazon yesterday, we needed some new kitchen utensils, and I came across the most lovely and girly kitchen accessories I’ve ever seen! I seriously fell head over heels. I told my husband if I were single this is what my kitchen would look like, hehe. Unfortunately the kitchen we have right now is not in this color pallet at all but a girl can dream. I will definitely be snagging that cake plate though, the natural wood goes with any kitchen. I might have to pick up some new measuring bowls as well since they are just too cute to pass up. So for anyone out there looking to add just a bit more glam to your kitchen this one is for you 😉 1. Peach Scallop Melamine Serving Set 2. Batter Bowl Shaped Measuring Cups 3. Hand Soap Double Dispenser 4. Kitchen Gadget Set 5…
