Monochromatic: containing or using only one color. Outside of wearing all black on occasion I’ve never really done the whole monochromatic outfits much. However, there have been times that I’ve been wearing jeans and wanted to wear a blue top. But how do you style monochromatic outfits? Do you go for the same exact color…
Well, the big red jolly fellow has officially come and gone. Now, do you clean up the mess or sit and shop the best after Christmas sales? When I was a teen I loved getting money for Christmas and heading to the mall the day after and finding what I would’ve wanted under the tree…
There’s nothing I love more than relaxing on the couch with the fireplace going and enjoying my favorite Christmas movies with the family. Add a cup of boozy hot chocolate and my night is made. I’m not sure about you, but this year I felt like the same Christmas movies were on repeat on live…
You can just call me Martha Stewart this Christmas season. I didn’t have luck baking her cookies back when I was in high school [just ask my dad], but I’m all about the DIY gifts currently. I first learned about homemade vanilla extract from Darylann Denner a few months ago. I’m always a sucker for…
I’m not going to lie, I usually set out a cheese tray from the grocery store but wanted to try a Christmas tree cheese board this year. Pinterest came through with lots of inspiration and I couldn’t wait to give a tree-shaped cheese board a try. This year it was our turn to host Christmas…
This year for Christmas, Madison and I decided to make some DIY gifts to give out to friends and teachers. With the dry winter weather we decided that homemade whipped body butter would make a great gift! Trust me when I say that when you decide to google anything DIY tons of options come up…
Sweater season is here and it’s in full force. The button-style cardigans are a very popular style this season and a huge hit with many. But how do you style them? It’s super easy to add a little form to the sometimes boxy style sweater by giving it the appearance of a tuck. Ok, that…
Ok, the stockings are hung, the tree is trimmed and now it is time to decorate the table for Christmas. One of my biggest downfalls is that our dining room table is usually the catch-all for when we come in the door. As long as I have it set and decorated pretty we can keep…
I know, I may be a little late and most of the trees are trimmed already. I swear I prepared everything for this post before Thanksgiving when I decorated our tree, but time got away from me. I learned a few years ago that putting ribbon in the Christmas tree can really elevate the look…
Well, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and passed. To be honest, I feel like a tornado hit me. Aside from working non-stop, I was able to do a little shopping. I always enjoy going back and seeing what the top purchases were by Fashionably Late Mom followers for the biggest shopping days of…
It’s time to deck the halls up in this place. I usually try to take advantage of the warmer days before the frigid winter temperatures set in to decorate outside. There have been years in the past where our outdoor Christmas decor could give off some Clark Griswald vibes, but this year we went a…
The biggest shopping week of the year is here. Receiving hundreds of emails from different retailers and seeing so many ads pop up on Facebook can be overwhelming. Luckily for you, I thrive on finding the best Black Friday deals. Lots of coffee and wine helps… This can be your one-stop-shop directory that will be…
