Romper Repeat – Now it Fits SO Much Better
Shop these similar rompers through my page on the LiketoKnow.it App or by clicking on any of the photos above. I posted about this romper previously because I truly did love the look of it. However, as I continued to wear it around the house, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I was not comfortable wearing it outside in public. It was too short and tight on my legs. Not to mention, every time I raised my arms, the romper looked more like a bathing suit, getting EVEN shorter. I searched and searched online but the site was all sold out in the next size up. Saddened because I…

If I were to Book a Trip…
Dress: Banana Republic (not the exact one – but this linked dress would go equally well); Shoes: Chloe Woody Flat Mule in Canvas; Purse: Gucci Disco Bag; Earrings: Bauble Bar (sold out, but very cute alternatives) If I were to book a trip, I don’t even know where I would go.

I could envision a little sight-seeing, shopping, and a delicious lunch…

Jean Jacket Flare!
Romper: Houston boutique; Denim Jacket: Old Navy Distressed Denim Jacket; Pins: WildFlowerAndCompany and Israeli Boutique (other Hipstory items found here); Shoes: Tory Burch Millers Spice up your next jacket with flare! I added these two pins. The Albert Einstein one is from a to-die-for boutique in Israel, and there are several public figures to choose from including Gandhi, Frida Kahlo, and Salvador Dali to name a few. Albert is all sold-out, but trust me, you will LOVE the other options. The HipStory collection is so unusual and so creative that that the Einstein pin was my must-have souvenir. Speaking of boutiques, I also found this romper at a little boutique…

Away: the New “It” Luggage, But is it Worth it?
Luggage: Away Medium in Black; Away Medium in Navy If you haven’t notice by now, I am very visually focused when it comes to making purchases. Translation: I’m first and foremost interested in the look of a product. After that, I will weigh price with quality. When I saw the Away brand advertised on (you guessed it!) Instagram, I was captivated by the brand’s marketing. The luggage looks sleek and luxe. Given the price, I forced myself to do a deeper dive into the products before making the investment. What really stood out was the lifetime warranty on the luggage. That was really all I needed to know plus instagram…
