I will forever be a knee high boot fan. Even more than ankle boots, I tend to gravitate towards knee high boots and how they can look so chic with a ton of different looks. And they are more versatile than ankle boots because they can be worn under jeans/trousers and look like an ankle boot and then also still be styled with short dresses and skirts too.

Wearing different patterns is a great way to add in some interest to your daily looks. However, mixing different patterns together in the same outfit is a high-value styling skill many find intimidating. It’s definitely something that takes some trial and error to figure out the best combinations. But if you own a ton of classic prints (stripes, florals, animal print, etc), it could be easier than you think. Learning the right way to mix patterns can instantly elevate outfits and make your outfits stand out even more. Today’s post is going to be a guide on how to mix different prints in an outfit in a way that looks chic and stylish.

I was on the hunt for a new pair of white jeans to wear this spring. I looked at a ton of different styles but decided to take a chance on this pair despite not owning anything from this brand. The jeans just arrived and I LOVE them! The fit is great and the length is perfection for my 5’4′ height (no alterations needed).

Denim jackets never go out of style but this season there are so many updated shapes and silhouettes to choose from. Denim jackets are more structural making them a bit more of a statement piece rather than a jacket you throw on as you run out the door. There are so many chic styles to choose from so you can update your current denim jacket to a more elevated and polished option. Denim doesn’t have to mean casual especially with some of these shapes and silhouettes! 

As I get older, my approach to makeup has had to change. The products that used to work on me don’t look the same anymore. Mature skin definitely handles makeup differently and the less is more approach is mantra at this point. Heavy or fuller coverage foundations don’t work on my skin as well as they did years ago. I gravitate towards thinner formulas, skincare based skin tints and complexion products that give just a hint of coverage. I rarely use any traditional foundations anymore but I had a feeling the new Natasha Denona HyGlam foundation could be an exception. I already swear by the Natasha Denona HyGlam concealer especially for mature skin so there was a good probability that the foundation would be as beautiful. Spoiler alert: it definitely was. If you are in the market for a “special occasion” makeup that gives a bit more coverage and wear time compared to a tinted moisturizer or lightweight skin tint, this foundation could be perfect. Especially for mature skin!

Not my usual thriller genre but I really loved this story. Jane grew up in an isolated cabin off the grid in Montana. She remembers very little about her childhood and the only remaining parent is her father who is very elusive about their past. Now that Jane is nearing adulthood, she is beginning to wonder more about her life and why her father doesn’t want them to be part of traditional society. After Jane becomes complicit in a horrific crime perpetrated by her father, she realizes she can’t continue living like this and runs away. With nothing to her name and no idea where to go, she heads west to California based on the little information her dad gave her about their life before Montana.
