Natalie’s Notes: Matching Sunglasses to Jewelry?
Every now and then, I will get a question regarding style “rules” or how to wear a certain piece. I love these! They provide insight into how you all look at fashion and provide a fun challenge for me to answer them. Therefore, I thought it would be beneficial to start a blog segment dedicated to these questions.
On Trend: Sweet Lariat
One of my favorite new trends in accessories is the lariat necklace. Delicate and sophisticated, this versatile style makes a great layering piece or an adored staple. Dress it down with a tee and denim cut offs or fancy it up for a summer wedding. Here are a few of my faves…
1. Triple Mix Chain Lariat Necklace
2. Elevate Y Necklace
3. Purple Rain Necklace
4. Teardrop Lariat Necklace
5. Pamola Lariat Necklace
How would you wear the lariat?
On Trend: Summer Staples
Sometimes my closet overwhelms me.
It’s organized by color, style, and season with shoes in boxes and pictures of each displayed neatly on the outside. I have my accessories accessibly hanging cleanly and my sweaters folded like a department store on the shelves (for my favorite closet organizing tips visit here). And still, I stare at a closet full of clothes and get that feeling that I have nothing to wear.

Foodie Friday: Maple and Honey Granola with Pecans, Walnuts, and Almonds
Happy Friday, all!
I know it has been a long while since I updated the blog but I came across a homemade granola recipe that is too good not to share. It is filled with nuts, oats, and just the right amount of sweetness. I pair it with vanilla yogurt and blueberries and it makes the most scrumptious breakfast/snack/lunch/dinner? ( I won’t judge). So, in honor of Foodie Friday, here it is! Continue reading

Wear of the Week: White Pants and a Chunky Sweater
I did it.
It was early October and overcast and was just begging to be worn: I busted out the chunky knit for the first time this season.
One of my most favorite things to wear, an oversized chunky sweater is classic and comforting with a hint of boho-chic. It keeps you warm on a crisp day, is a great cover-up when you have had one too many holiday treats, and still looks effortlessly stylish.
When my mom and I saw this sweater at a quaint boutique last fall, we knew it was a must-have. The bold colors make it a perfect match with dark denim, brown cords, and (obviously) white denim. To add a bit of benevolence to our purchase, I bought my mom’s and she bought mine- charitable shopping at its finest.
What is one item you can’t wait to bring out for fall?
Sweater {Elan}, Jeans {Adriano Goldschmeid}, Boots {UGG}, Sunnies {Target}
