Fashion
What are your measurements?
How do you typically wash your clothes?
I wash everything on delicate cycle in cold water and air dry!
How do you wear jeans with booties? How do I know how to cuff?
Check out the Complete Guide to Jeans for all the details on jeans and cuffing!
Do you keep all the clothes you post?
The outfits that I post include pieces that I truly love and wear. Unless it is me showing a piece that I explicitly say doesn’t work for me, yes I do keep them!
What are your top closet organization tips?
I highly recommend organizing your closet by color and type of clothing! This has helped me a ton in planning outfits and being intentional about wearing! Stay tuned for a post where I share a look inside my closet(s) and how I stay organized!
What is your favorite everyday bra and strapless bra?
I love Third Love’s 24/7 T-shirt Bra and wear it all day everyday!
This strapless bra from Wacoal is my absolute favorite strapless bra! It stays in place all day or night! It’s magic really.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
I love shopping at Nordstrom because their free shipping and returns make my life easy! Other stores I love are Zappos, American Eagle, Express and Target to name a few.
How do you decide when to get rid of clothing?
Every six months or so I go through my closet(s) with a fine tune comb and evaluate each piece to see if it is something I have worn recently, is still in good condition or ask myself if it is something that I love or not. If it is a no on any one or two of those, off it goes!
Is there one place that I can easily shop all of your outfits?
Yes! You can head to my shop page right here!
What is your favorite white tee?
We are currently working on an entire blog post where I ranked 10+ white tees from quality to price, sheerness and fit – this post is coming very soon!
Life
What kind of camera do you use to take your photos?
Sony a6000 typically with the standard 16-50mm lens or my iPhone 7 plus!
How do you handle anxiety?
I wish I knew how to! For me prayer and just being still for a little bit of time can go a long way. If that doesn’t work either wine or these all natural pills help do the trick 😉 I don’t think it is something I will ever have a full grasp on!
What do you do in your downtime?
I am definitely an outdoor girl [in the sense that I like laying in the pool or on a boat]. We spend a lot of time either in the water, on the water or by the water. I also love quality girl time so grabbing drinks with friends is usually on the weekly schedule. And cooking dinner! I haven’t found a more relaxing task yet [that’s a lie, baths win].
Do you want children?
This depends on the day you are asking. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You can read more about that here.
Home
Where do you typically shop for home decor?
Homegoods, Target, Joyfully Said Signs and Hayneedle just to name a few!
What is the name of your sister’s sign shop?
Her shop is called Joyfully Said Signs. The signs of hers I have hanging in my house are Let’s Stay In and Nowhere To Go.
What is the paint color in your kitchen?
It is Wedgewood Grey by Benjamin Moore.
What wood is on your ceiling?
It is natural pine planks, tongue and groove. Shawn and I hung it all ourselves!
Where did you find your kitchen island barstools and light fixture?
I purchased the barstools several years ago from Target online! You can find a similar version here. The light fixture above our island came from Menards and was quite affordable!

![Working out is not a chore, it’s a privilege. I read something recently that stuck with me — it was about how we have a responsibility to take ownership over our bodies and our mentality around it. I think when we can truly grasp just how amazing it is that we have bodies that are able to move, we can approach working out with gratitude. I keep thinking about my dad and his bike accident last summer - he could have easily ended up paralyzed [it’s still such a miracle he didn’t] not able to ever move again. When you put that thought into perspective, it does things to you inside. What if you couldn’t move tomorrow? Go do something good for your body today, not because you should but because you can 💪🏻 #liygratitudeseries](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/d502abc8d832c4191045dd278d7c3cec/5DDDFFEB/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/67527387_2393675424239714_2508556016393568289_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "Working out is not a chore, it’s a privilege.

![Caught in the act 🧘♀️ I recently [as in this week recently] started practicing meditation and those 10-20 minutes are some of my favorite from the day. Last night I was laying in bed and it hit me mid-thought, just how out of touch with gratitude I’ve been. My mind has been in an exhausting state of “everything needs fixed, nothing is right, I need to improve this, that and the other” while 100% dismissing all of the amazing that surrounds me. In 2010 I wrote in a gratitude journal daily and I remember feeling so alive, joyful and ready for life’s opportunities. It was as soon as I was done with my 365 day journal that I decided to start living in yellow, a place to document my days and all that makes me happy. I miss those days of gratitude and I’m on a quest to get back to that place. My goal is to share here daily something I’m grateful for in hopes of shifting my mindset, looking for the good and hopefully inspiring some of you that may be in a similar mental rut to do the same. So here’s to day one - I’m grateful for quiet moments and an open mind. What are you grateful for today? #LIYgratitudeseries](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/46cd2ee43d6bfd76d9d15d919f9dff7e/5DD4105D/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/67614090_2358194307640487_4250787473210887536_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "Caught in the act 🧘♀️ I recently [as in this week recently] started practicing meditation and those 10-20 minutes are some of my favorite from the day.
