The Best Spring Dresses to Shop Right Now

And the Top Dress Trends

As the spring season approaches, I’m excited to share some of the best spring dresses. From midis to maxis to everything in between. Spring is my favorite season, and I love embracing the floral prints and beautiful pastel hues. Don’t you love the feeling of finally shaking off the winter chill for spring’s warmer temps. The months between March and May spark so much joy, and the fashion always seems to match that next level energy.

Our Top Criteria for Buying a Lake Home

Key Factors in Our Real Estate Search

Have you read my recent “99 real estate problems” post! If not, I’d recommend reading it before diving into this blog post for more context! Within it, I discuss our initial challenges with our current real estate search for a smaller second home. Everything from dealing with all cash offers and this crazy hot market. Today, I wanted to walk through our list of lake home criteria. After all, beyond the market concerns, we also have a laundry list of expectations. Shocker, haha!

A Tory Burch Fall/Winter Look

Typically, I err on the side of matchy-matchy, but when I came across this Tory Burch fall look, it was an immediate “yes.” I love the eclectic blends of ivories, blues, blacks, and reds. Best of all, each piece is versatile in and of itself.

I’ve Got 99 Problems and Real Estate is One.

What to Do When You Struggle with Real Estate

Confession – I suck at real estate. Clearly it’s not my full-time job nor am I am a licensed broker. But in my “dream” scenario, I’m wheeling and dealing with the likes of Josh Flagg and Tracy Tudor. The offers, the contingencies, the negotiations – oh my! 🙂 But no, that’s not my actual reality.
