Fall on the horizon As we transition our wardrobe from the warm, full sun into the crisp air of autumn we not only change our clothes, but also our schedules. Being on the go doesn't exactly give us enough time to choose our entire ensemble every morning. We want the...

A bit early to be thinking about the holidays, right? Well maybe not. The holidays mean many things for many different people. Anyone under the age of 22 probably thinks the months of November and December are the best time of every year. Anyone over the age of 22 might...

Life throws some pretty frustrating emotions our way sometimes: anger, sadness, stress, exasperation, hopelessness, boredom, irritation, hurt, spite… the list goes on. I find myself being pulled into these negative emotions more often than I would like. I receive a frustrating email at work, someone cancels plans I was excited...

 I consider myself a good shopper. Sometimes. I think through my purchases. Sometimes. I imagine all the different outfit options a piece will give me and I never have regrets. Sometimes. Why the hesitation? Well, I could be buying better. I could be buying quality, versatile clothing. I am...

Have you read Tiny Beautiful Things? You haven’t? Shame. Not really, but a book that beautiful can’t not be read. Okay, so, it’s not really a book. Tiny Beautiful Things is a collection of responses to life’s funny, heart-aching, challenging, and nearly unanswerable questions. This column, “Dear Sugar” first appeared...

My weekends are a crazy jumble of “where to next?” In the house I do chores, read, nap, cook, and play with the furry babies, but I am constantly leaving the house for something. I take the dog out for walks, run to the grocery and recycling center, workout, meet...

The start of school is fast approaching, but we’re stuck with 90+ degree weather for another (most likely) two and a half months. When it’s Saturday and I am out and about running errands, I wear workout shorts. When it’s a Tuesday and I need to run across town to...

I can say without guilt or shame that my favorite brand in-store at Sophie is Z Supply. These are quality, comfortable items I find myself wearing again and again because they are versatile and, again, comfortable. Those things are what I usually look for when shopping. Sophie also carries tons...

Sophie is Local Shopping local has many benefits. For one, shopping local means more of your money will stay in the community. The money you spend goes out into different projects, including school funds, city parks, and government resources like libraries. Shopping local is also a way for you to...

Of course I have a favorite! I love to go into a store and find a full outfit, walking out, and knowing that tomorrow I will be covered in head to toe fabulousness. It's such a wonderful feeling. This is my favorite right now, because right now I am feeling...

I remember the days of sports team banquets and senior year awards where some lucky girl is awarded "Best Dressed." For my sister, this was the dream, the ultimate accomplishment. For me, it was my reality (haha sister :) sucks to be you!) And now as we get older, we...

If you’ve read any of my past blogs, you’ll know that I am from Minnesota so this whole Missouri heat thing is seriously kicking my a**. I have gradually had to cut down on my walks with my dog...to his dismay. Forgoing the noon adventure and pushing his evening walk...

I grew up surrounded by shoe boxes. My mom has a small fetish for Nordstrom and Zappos shoes. By the time I was 13 years-old, she started having me hide the Zappos boxes that were out on the front porch when I got home from school so my dad wouldn’t...

Summer is officially here and that means putting away my sweaters and leggings and pulling out my dresses and shorts. I have grudgingly acknowledged that I own a ton of clothes (I like to convince myself that I wear them all), but when it comes to summer and staying cool,...

Summer is officially here, which means it's time to accessorize for summer. This season offers the perfect chance to get outside and do something, so go out prepared with all the items you'll need to have the perfect summer. Sophie has you covered! As the heat turns up, come in and find something that...

All the time is reading time for me, but summer seems to be the easiest time to read for many. We love to sit by the lake or the pool with a favorite book, or find refuge in the air conditioning and read on the couch. As a child, my...

Mother’s Day is tomorrow! I am not a mother but I still know it’s a special day. The thing I often struggled with when I was younger, though, is that it’s not a special day for me. I am still guilty of being in that mindset where I really don’t...

Sometimes we need to look at things that only make us happy. Instagram can cause envy, Twitter can be obnoxious, Facebook can get political, even Pinterest might show you something too unrealistic (again, envy) or sad. I had a rough morning, and I am sure some of you may had...

I don’t think there are tricks or instant tips to automatically be happier or instantaneously improve your life, but I do think that when we adopt and practice small habits they become lifestyles. And practicing those small habits do help us to feel maybe a little bit better, or proud,...
