Weekday Wardrobe in Quarantine

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Earlier this week, I shared our weekend, which included most of the things I’d normally include in my Friday Favorites post. So instead, I thought I’d do a bit of a funny take on what I’ve been wearing lately. It’s a cross between quarantine-chic style and what I’ve been wearing this pregnancy while WFH.

SUNDAY!

Making a pre-pregnancy shirt work just a bit longer. Invested in these comfy joggers from Amazon. Perfect for pregnancy and post-pregnancy.

MONDAY:

Ready for a morning of working from home. These slippers are getting worn pretty much all day. And my favorite maternity camisole that I wear under everything is super cheap at Target.

TUESDAY:

This is another pre-pregnancy sweater. I love the Emma 525 sweater. They hold their shape so well, and they come in soooo many colors.

And ironically enough, I forgot after Tuesday to take any more pictures. 🙂

I did a post on our Mother’s Day weekend HERE, which includes SO many of my favorites from this past week. Until next week, have a good weekend!

Friday Favorites: Current Favorite Curly Girl Products

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Last fall, I talked about all of the research I had done on the Curly Girl Hair Method. Almost six months later, and I’m still following this method. My hair feels healthier than it’s ever felt because I’m not washing it and styling it every day with heat. It’s like my hair is saying, “you’re finally figuring out what we like.” Along my journey, I’ve tried many products. And the one thing I’ve found about the CGM is that my hair is not the same month-to-month. The things that will work for me in the dead of winter with no moisture need to be switched up as humidity starts creeping back up as well.

Here are the products I’ve been loving in the low humidity this winter.

Let’s Look At…Your Winter Wardrobe

Posted on by Lauren Lane

It’s the day of the month that I link up with two of my favorite blogs: Mix & Match Mama and A Little Bit of Everything to share a little peak into life at our house!

And today, we’re looking at our winter wardrobe! I’ll link anything that I post below that’s from the current season and still available. My winter wardrobe consists of workout clothes, sweaters, and more sweaters.

When I moved to Michigan for college many years ago, I went up north with a wardrobe fit for a central Midwest winter. I had no idea what I was in for with a Michigan winter on Lake Michigan. What I found out was that snow was at least a weekly thing. And not just any snow, lake effect snow. Temperatures were bitterly cold from November through a good part of March, and my central Midwest winter wardrobe of long sleeve t-shirts and a handful of sweaters just wasn’t cut out for Michigan winter.

Learning the Curly Girl Hair Method

Posted on by Lauren Lane

I’ve started using the Curly Girl hair method, and I think it may officially be my most favorite hair style yet.

Let me back up…

I always knew I had wavy hair. Like the kind of hair that you can’t just walk out of a shower and let air dry and it magically is straight or curly kind of hair. Through middle school….high school….college….post-college life…ok, so I don’t change my hair much, I switched between straightening it and wearing it curly – like that gel-ly, ‘your hair still looks wet’ curly that was ever so popular in the early late 90’s and early 2000’s.

Friday Favorites: My Loft Favorites

Posted on by Lauren Lane

As we speak, Kendra, my sister, and I are on a plane heading out for a girls trip. And I. Am. So. Pumped! We are going to lay by the ocean, eat enough food that we have to unbutton the top button of our pants, and drink all the southern cocktails while we secretly scope for the cast of Southern Charm. 😉 Follow along over on the Insta.

Today, I’m linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea to share some of my latest Loft loves! Loft has long been my go to for work tops. I love the quality of the material, that they are machine washable AND dry, and that they’re so easy to dress up for work or dress down for a weekend or date night out.

Fall Transitional Clothing

Posted on by Lauren Lane

It’s September. And in my mind, September equates to fall. Fall weather, fall clothes, cozy fall soups and blankets.

Last week, I shared our family’s Fall Bucket List.

This week, I’m sharing my favorite fall transitional clothes. As I’m writing this blog post, though, it’s sunny and 90* out today. Ninety. I’ve got a fall state of mind: wanting to dress with all of the rich, warm colors of fall, but still be comfortable in a state that’s stuck in summer weather. Here are some of the items in my closet that I’m reaching for over and over again right now as we transition into fall:
