Pom Pom

Never underestimate the magic of a pom pom. Silly and often a little over the top- I'm kind of addicted to the unexpected use of pom poms. Stick them on a scarf, or a pair of shoes, or even a keychain to hang off your bag. I promise they will bring you joy and make you smile.

Cool Spring

Depending on where you are in the world, spring can mean many things. In Wyoming seeing 'chance of snow' pop up on the weather forecast is the norm and so is dressing in layers to accommodate the fluctuating temps. I actually love the spring and fall for this very reason. It's a great time of year to wear in between pieces. So while I wait for summer to kick into gear, I revel the short window to layer up.

Sloane Girl

It's London Fashion Week and it feels appropriate to share an eco outfit post from my time there this fall, roaming the streets of Sloane Square with Kit Lee

One of the things I love most about London is it's encouragement to dress up. You can go from a corner pub to a five star restaurant wearing the same thing because everywhere you go everyone else it also dressed to impress. Do they dress up from themselves? Or each other? I'm not sure. My answer is: both. This summer I started putting more into my everyday looks, and doing even a little makeup or styling of my hair before leaving the house. I did it for me. To feel my best and what I found is it actually made life easier because I was able to go from one thing to the next appropriately attired. Hmm, those Brits are on to something...

This was one of my favorite looks that we shot while I was in LondonTown. It just feels completely and utterly like ME. Many of you know that I lived in London while attending university and I always say that London is where I found myself. My sense of style and being-ness as a woman. Maybe that is why it will keep a piece of my heart forever, and remain one of my most cherished places.

Outside View

Chatting with a couple of friends the other day, it became clear that we don't always see ourselves the way other see us. In particularly, we don't always see the value we naturally give. For whatever reason we tend to see our shortcomings more readily than the areas we thrive. Not only that, we can question our contributions as being worthy or not. That's when a little outside perspective comes in handy.

In a safe space with people who accept and support you, there's an opportunity to share your truest thoughts about where you are and what you want to do. And in that space is also an invitation to ask for feedback. We did this with a small group the other day and it was incredible. What struck me most was how clearly others see you and your value, while you might be questioning what you can give to the world. Sometimes we know what we want or need to do, but just need someone outside of ourselves (and minds) to say it, or to see the value we are ready to offer. Have you had this experience? I encourage you to share what you are up to and ask for feedback if you are unsure of how you want to proceed. Many minds are better than one, and may also see you more clearly than you see yourself.

My first day in London I met my friend Mona Lisa Godfrey for a stroll around Notting Hill and we stumbled upon a pop-up shop called Ethical Collection. I was beside myself with excitement! And my enthusiasm turned to sheer joy when I met co-founder Annina Youngblood who graciously allowed me to pull pieces from her lovely store to style. 

Absolutely everything in the store was curated to appease the most discerning fashionista and her ethics. It was a match made in heaven, and the best part is you don't need to be in London to shop their lovely collections- all you need is to follow this link. xx
