GET THE LOOK: Sunglasses | Sweater | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Lipstick One thing I love is an all black ensemble. There is just something so chic about it, plus you will always look put together. The genius part of wearing something like a simple sweater and jeans is, you can dress it up or down just by swapping out your flats for heels and popping on a bold lip. ... Read the post
My Favorite Chunky Cable Knit Sweater
GET THE LOOK: Hat | Sunglasses | Sweater | Shirt | Jeans | Shoes | Bag I'll admit, it's been a bit tricky trying to find a good rhythm over the past month since there has been so much transition in my life lately, but luckily this past Saturday, my Dad I decided to carve out some time to head into downtown Ballard and take some much needed outfit photos. Photographing fall clothing and content is always my favorite and I left feeling energized and inspired, which felt so great. One of the issues right now is that I don't ... Read the post
Blog Birthday: My Style Pill Turns Nine Years Old!
(This photo is from the night I told my best friend Liz that I had started a blog.) Nine years ago today, I published my very first post on My Style Pill. As I sit here and reminisce, I still can't believe that it's been that long. It was in the middle of the recession and people were losing their jobs like crazy. Heck, at that point, I had already lost one editorial job in December 2007, before getting hired at Women's Day Special Interest Publications in the early spring of 2008. If any of you remember Martha Stewart's ... Read the post
Outfit Remix: French Connection Striped Dress, Two Ways
Photos by: Lydia Hudgens Outfit Details: Left: Hat | Jacket (ON SALE - gifted) | Dress (gifted) | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses | Scarf Right: Sunglasses | Jacket | Dress (gifted) | Clutch | Shoes | Necklace | Lipstick This striped dress is probably one of my favorite casual dresses I own because of how comfortable it is - the stretchy material allows you to move around freely but doesn't ride up or feel too constricting. Plus the striped pattern makes it super versatile and a perfect transitional dress. Here are two ways I ... Read the post
Home Office Makeover: The During
My days here have been flying by and I have really been trying to focus on getting this space finished and start working on some projects I have in mind. I'm also currently expanding my styling business out here so that has been my other main focus as of late, which is why I've been taking a little break from outfit posts. But I thought I would give you guys a little update on the office and share where I'm at with it all! I picked a super white paint to brighten up the space and freshen up the walls since this is where I ... Read the post
Home Office Makeover: The Before
Happy Tuesday! Last week I shared some of my office inspiration with you guys, but I definitely wanted to make sure I shared what my soon-to-be-studio looked like beforehand, because I think before and after projects are so fun to watch, don't you? This space in particular never really had a purpose other than being used for random storage, so the flow and aesthetic didn't have a cohesive feel to it, but I've made great progress on it so far, which feels great. Anyway, many more photos of the during and after to ... Read the post
Home Office Makeover: Finding Inspiration
(via) If you've been following me on my Instastories (@mystylepill), you know that I am in Seattle right now, and am currently in the process of expanding my styling business here (well, really all over), and am going to start splitting my time between here and New York. That means I need to create a functioning work space while in the PNW, so I'm starting to poke around Pinterest and Instagram to get some inspiration, and am getting really excited at the idea of creating a fresh place to create and film ...
