Well, hello there - It's definitely been much longer than I intended since my last update. I miss shooting, writing, and content creating a lot, but between working full time, exercising, a bit of socializing and general adult responsibilities, I've honestly found it all too easy to put this little corner of the internet on the back burner. I definitely miss being more active here and interacting with you... so if you have good time management tips please share them with me; I'd love to hear …
One Sweater, Three Ways
When I began narrowing down my wardrobe a few years ago, I started to be on the lookout for clothing companies that were worth following. In a world filled with messages about always getting what's shiny and new, Vetta immediately caught my eye as a refreshing brand to watch.

Top 5 Updated: My New(ish) Wardrobe Workhorses
Earlier this year, I compiled a "Top 5" of the pieces I'd found myself putting on over and over again during the course of the winter.

Whatever it is, I'd say this all started with the tradition of back to school shopping and has carried over for many years since. I've been trying to change this (with various degrees of success), especially …
Essentials Only
For the past several years now, I've gotten into the habit of doing bi-annual wardrobe cleans: the kind where every single item is taken out, sorted through, and either donated, sold, or put back into the closet. It often takes a good part of a day, and takes more effort than I'd like to put in, but it's also always cathartic going through my closet and finding new homes for things that are no longer being used as they should be. I did my fall closet clean a little early this year, and was …
