A few weeks ago I told you about a clothing swap I did with a few of my favorite bloggers turned real-life friends, Justine and Kayla. Well, the items they sent my way arrived and I’ve taken note of my first impressions below. Next week I’ll be sharing the final installment in this series, where I share how I styled each item. But for now, you’ll have to settle for a sneak peak! What I Thought of Justine’s Items Item … Read More
November Stitch Fix Review
Another month and it’s high time I did another Stitch Fix Review! I slacked on documenting my fix last month and returned my items before I had a chance to document what I kept and returned. I’m back on the ball for November. This month’s fix was a bit of a mixed bag. There were a couple items I really liked and a few that left me scratching my head. By far, my most successful fix was the box I … Read More
My Latest Stitch Fix Box Review
Right before we left for our trip to Italy, I received my latest box of Stitch Fix goodies. Perfect timing, right? I was even more excited about the fact that this was the best box I’ve received yet! I fell in love with three out of the five items that were sent my way, which I would consider a big win. Since the weather is starting to get cool around these parts, I was also excited that the items I … Read More
Hello, Stranger
Hello, friends! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Joe and I just got back from the most wonderful 10-day-long vacation in Italy and I’m just now sitting down to my computer for the first time in just as many days. It’s been one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever taken, and I can’t wait to share all about it! My mind is already swimming with ideas on posts about packing light (we only traveled with backpacks), amazing Italian recipes … Read More
My Stitch Fix Story
It’s no surprise I love Stitch Fix, is it? I know, I sound like a broken record. But I’ve had so much fun with the service, so when the Stitch Fix team asked me if I wanted to be featured on their blog with four other of their favorite bloggers I jumped at the chance! Of course, we all know that I’m not a fashion blogger, and sometimes I tend to fall into a bit of a rut with my … Read More
Dressed for Game Day: Vikings Edition
Do you ever suffer from that thing where you face is a little puffy for the first two hours after you wake up? Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one who suffers from this, because that’s totally what I’ve got going on in these pictures. This past weekend Joe and I woke up bright and early on Saturday to get to Mankato, Minnesota, for the first weekend of Vikings training camp. By now you’re well aware of our … Read More
This Month’s Stitch Fix Review
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great long weekend. Joe and I stayed close to home this weekend since Joe had to work on Friday and I didn’t. It was so relaxing not to have to travel and to enjoy a mini little stay-cation in our city. Major bonus? It was super quiet in the city! We ate at a restaurant that’s usually super busy and didn’t have to wait for a table, played a ton of tennis … Read More
Life Lately (Outfit Edition)
Happy Friday, friends! Do you have any big plans for the weekend? Joe and I had an absolutely crazy weeek! We started taking tennis lessions through our city’s adult summer recreation program and the classes are on Monday and Wednesday nights. On Tuesday I met a friend for a drink after work and got my hair colored (blonde, blonde, blonde!) and Joe played in a competitive yard game league (?!) on Thursday night. Tonight? I’m ready to sit on my … Read More
Stitchfix #2: My Review
I got my second Stitchfix last week, and after posting a couple photos of the tops I decided to keep, a number of you asked if I would do a review of my second fix. And since I am falling more and more in love with Stitchfix by the month, I am happy to talk about what I got in my most recent box. I was hoping, as I mentioned in my last post about Stitchfix, that my second fix … Read More
Vest Love
Happy Wednesday, friends! As I write this, I’m getting ready to head to California for a mother-daughter weekend in wine country. I’m posting from my phone so I’ll keep this short. I’ll check in later this week with updates! In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a few photos of my favorite vest. If it wasn’t strange, I think I would wear it every day. And the best part? It was only $35 dollars at our local department store.
Sweater Weather
Sweater: Sort of Similar | Jeans: Banana Republic Outlet | Tank: Banana Republic Outlet When Joe and I got engaged almost two years ago in NYC, I decided I needed to purchase something while I was there as an everyday reminder of the amazing weekend and our engagement. My sister-in-law, Amber, and I did some shopping and I came up with this cashmere sweater. At the time, I knew it was comfy, but wasn’t sure how much I would wear … Read More
Help! Style Me…
Espresso and Cream has never been, and will never be, predominantly a fashion blog. I have too many bad hair days and not enough items in my wardrobe. But I do enjoy posting fashion photos when I find an outfit or item of clothing that I think other readers might love, too. Last week, I got sucked into the clothing section of Target over my lunch break and bough this shirt on a whim. I was feeling frumpy, having a … Read More
