The Good Ole Days (But Make It Cute) – 3 Pieces I’m Loving from Hanmade Goods

April 17, 2025 No Comments

This Hanmade Goods’ The Good Ole Days collection hits all the right notes. They’re giving vintage charm, small-batch cuteness, and they come in such fun colors!

The graphic tees have that perfect worn-in feel with prints that make me smile every time I throw them on. One’s a little cheeky, the other’s sweet—BOTH are easy to style with denim, a good crossbody bag, and gold jewelry (you know the formula).

And then there’s the “mama” crewneck. Subtle embroidery, ultra-soft, and just the right amount of slouch. I also love the bright purple/indigo color— It’s such a comfy and easy go-to crewneck. It makes me feel like me, but cozier.

If you’re looking for comfort, nostalgia, and small business love, this collection is such a gem. These pieces feel like a little nod to the past, but they fit right into my everyday life.

Fall Outfits from Baltic Born

October 15, 2024 No Comments

I did a little fall collaboration with Baltic Born and wanted to share the pieces I chose! They’re a great place to order from if you need wedding guest options, family photo outfits, or any type of outfit for a fancier event (but please be aware that their return policy only lets you return for store credit).

I’m wearing size xs in everything except for the brown dress (it’s size small because it doesn’t come in size xs).

You can use MARISSA15OFF for $$ off from Baltic born.

I thought this little green sweater was so cute! I paired it with jeans here, but also wore it with a denim skirt & tall boots this past weekend and it was so cute.

I love a midi/maxi dress and this one has a really comfy fit and adorable sleeves! Paired it with brown accessories for a cohesive look.

This dress is the perfect fall floral print! I paired it with black leather/faux leather accessories.

It’s hard to tell in this picture, but this sweater has cute little colorful speckles in it! It’s also very cozy and warm.

The sheer sleeves on this dress are gorgeous and it flows so nicely!

Newbella Shoes Try-On & Review (two pairs of slip on shoes)

October 3, 2023 No Comments

We’re having a bit of an extra-long summer where I live, which means my warmer weather clothing and shoes get an extended stay in my closet and more chances to be worn. I’m totally okay with it though, because I love slip on shoe and sandal season. I have two great pairs of slip-on shoes to share from Newbella (shoes were gifted, but all thoughts & reviews are my own).

This first pair is an open toe mule style sandal. They’re the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Chunky Mule Sandals. I’m wearing them in the yellow, which adds a fun pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. I had a hard time deciding between the green and the yellow– both colors are so fun! They’re soft and stretchy and the square toe is currently very on trend. They have a small block heel which makes them perfect to wear for all occasions–with dresses, skirts, jeans, or trousers!

The second pair of shoes I want to share are the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Flat Sandals. Again, they’re a comfortable slip on shoe and they’re made with a soft stretchy upper and a rubber sole. I chose the neutral apricot color, but again the green was a contender, and I also loved the look of the black. These are the PERFECT pair of shoes to slip on with any type of outfit. I paired them with jeans and a long duster cardigan, but they would look equally as cute with a dress or a skirt.

Wardrobe Essentials for Spring (Jeans and Tees)

May 2, 2023 No Comments

*the items I am wearing in this post were gifted by Mott & Bow, but all thoughts & opinions are my own*

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that basics make a wardrobe. Without good basics, you will feel like you consistently have nothing to wear & you won’t be able to create a cohesive feel in your wardrobe.
Some of my go-to basics include good jeans, neutral tees, layering pieces (lightweight for spring/summer & heavier for fall/winter), shoes in neutral colors that go with everything, bags in neutral colors, & gold jewelry.

Some of my favorite basics in the last few years have come from Mott & Bow. I own a couple pairs of their jeans & my husband does as well. My newest pair of jeans are the Slim Boyfriend Charlton Jeans in light blue– they are a mid-rise (which I LOVE because I’m petite), medium wash, lightweight jean. They are 98% cotton with 2% elastane, which means they are a slightly rigid denim, but they have some stretch to them. I have found them extremely comfortable to wear in my normal size.

Other basics that I love from Mott & Bow are their tees. The one I am wearing here is the Fitted Crew Marcy Tee in military green. I love a good crewneck tee & this one is soft and comfy. I sized up one because I don’t like to wear tight-fitting clothes & it fits well. The green is perfect for me, but it also comes in 12 other colors.

My other favorite basic tee from Mott & Bow is the Boxy Semi-Crop Noble Tee. I already own it in black & in white & I am SO glad to have the grey to add to my wardrobe since it is SUCH a staple for me. It is a preshrunk 100% cotton & hangs so nicely. I wear my true size & love how it looks tucked or untucked!

In these photos, I am wearing the Slim Boyfriend Mercer Jeans in the bone color, and they are a great white denim option. They aren’t see-through like a lot of white jeans & I am wearing them in my true size & they fit more loosely than the Charlton Jeans. These jeans are also made from 98% cotton & 2% elastane, making them a more rigid denim that still has a comfy amount of stretch to them.

If you’re in need of some high-quality basics to help build your wardrobe, definitely check out Mott & Bow. The quality is so good & their items will last for years to come.
