Introducing: The Den at Our Cabin

The Den

I can’t believe it was six months ago already when we closed on the cabin. You know what they say — Time flies when you’re trying to decorate a house! While many of the rooms still don’t have the first piece of decor in them, our den is 99.9% complete and if there is a phrase I swear by, it’s “done is better than perfect”. I’ve never had an official den in my possession so I was a little bit curious as to what we would do with this space, but I must say, it’s quickly become one of my favorite little rooms in the cabin.

Step in [and out] of the office in style

It’s something we hear all of the time — “I want an outfit that I can wear both at work and outside of work!” Think boardroom meets bar scene. I get it. When I worked outside of the home, whenever it came to making a new purchase I would first ask myself if I would be able to wear it at work and on the weekend. Versatility is oh so important when it comes to getting max wear out of your pieces [and helps justify all of those swipes of the CC, leaving all buyers remorse at the checkout counter]. When you know that you’re investing in outfits that can literally take you from your 9-5 straight into your 5-9, it’s a win/win! Extra bonus: your laundry load just cut in half when you make these genius purchases. You’re welcome. Today I’m bringing you an outfit that you can do just that.

You may have noticed, I’ve started turning to Ann Taylor for some seriously cute work wear recently. I have been beyond impressed with the look, feel, quality and cuts of their pieces and so when it came time to creating a look for the office that’s cool enough to go out in, I knew Ann Taylor was the first place I wanted to look. They are constantly running stellar sales so finding items within your budget is as easy as spilling your coffee all down the front of you while on your way into work for the day [or is that just me who always masters that task?] Regardless, Ann Taylor will have you winning best dressed in the cubicle and at that cute local bar down the street [I mean, all this leopard print – I die].

By now those of us with school age kids are fully involved in the back to school routine, loving those cute little projects sent home daily and reminiscing of our own school days while hearing the daily report from our kiddos. The leaves are changing, Friday Night Lights are in full effect and another year…

We’re Headed to Iceland… Every once in awhile that husband of mine gets a wild hair in him and does something very unexecuted and out of the blue. Insert Christmas of 2017. As I opened my last gift, I unfolded a piece of paper that showed pictures of Iceland. I was so confused. Iceland? What’s…

New Arrivals Hits & Misses [Amazon, L.L. Bean + More!]

It’s been a few weeks since the last round of Hits & Misses and believe me, there are some GOOD things to share this week [good = hilarious]. I’m excited to be adding in some new retailers to the mix and am loving these posts as it’s a fun journey to get me to try…

What to Wear for Fall Photos // 5 Families, 5 Color Schemes

Fall Family Photos It’s a question we receive constantly at LIY – “What in the world should we wear for family photos!?” As Becca put it last year, family photos can be a headache. You shuffle the schedule 13 times and finally find a one hour time slot where none of your kids have soccer…

3 Pattern Trends To Rock This Fall

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not the trendiest when it comes to dressing myself. I’m always about a year late to catch on to what’s hot [I blame living in Indiana for that one] and don’t really ever care a whole lot about what’s considered the next best thing. There’s probably…
