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,...

After scouring the store, Instagram, and the boxes and boxes Sophie gets in, I have decided. The following items are my FAVORITE in store right now.  Flower Dream Top $44.50 l Divania 2 (sandals) $39.50 l Sarah Cut Off Hem in Barcelona $69.50   I think I love everything about...

I believe it is important to put away some time during your day or week to be creative. My days are filled with driving to work, getting some shi* done, cooking, cleaning, talking with coworkers and friends, watching tv, and a bunch of other seemingly menial things. That routine can...

Easter is the perfect time to buy a bright, new, and fabulous dress. I'd argue that any time is the perfect time to buy a nice dress, but I'll save that for another time.  Whether you're headed off to church, spending time with your family or friends, a spring-y dress...

We all love eating, right? I am constantly searching the web and Pinterest for different recipes to try. (I'm one of those people that needs variety in their life). I love these recipes so much I have made them multiple times. My mouth will water just thinking of them. They're not all...

There are some weekends and free days that I really don't want to do chores or sit on the couch. Sometimes I actually want to plan a day filled with fun activities. Sometimes I need to get out and feel like I'm doing something someone can be jealous of. Sometimes...

Spring means variable temperatures, frigid mornings, sunny afternoons, chilly rains, hot afternoons, and the precarious balance one must find in clothing. My biggest struggle in spring is actually three big struggles: how do I limit the exposure of my incredibly pale legs, how do I stay warm enough in the...

Want to unplug? Sometimes I do.  I work a standard desk job, which means I'm staring at a computer screen for about eight hours every day. And then when I take lunch at my desk, I'm on my phone looking up YouTube videos and checking social media. On the weekends...

Oh the delicate loveliness. I am a huge fan of Shira Melody Jewelry because of the quality and simplicity of their pieces. Shira Melody Jewelry pieces are designed by Shira McManus, a woman who quit her day job seven years ago and never looked back.  With this line, every accesory-lover...

Monday Wake Up an Hour Earlier Than Usual I'm always surprised at the outcome of my day when I decide to wake up earlier, to give myself a little bit more time. Sure, hearing the alarm go off at 5:30 instead of 6:30 is painful, but a productive morning makes...

So Valentine's Day is usually on a weekday, making it hard to celebrate the way most of us want to. It's a rare occasion when you get that perfect Saturday V-Day with your beau, but such is life.  Many people are blessed with open schedules and relaxing week nights, but...

With the rainy, muddy, and warmer season heading for us (or at least that's what it looks like), this is when I play it safe with practically every walk I take outside. Boots! I am so lucky that Sophie offers some truly adorable styles of rain boots that keep my...

Oh the struggles of an adult life.  Not actual struggles, mind you, but goodness sometimes they feel like it.  This week has been a multitude of work, money, and household stress and that inevitably comes with a frustratingly stubborn conviction that I should be lazy. Great time for it, right?...

 Sophie started as a shoe and handbag store. Gradually, accessories were added to the shelves. After continued success, Sophie became a clothing store. The Sophie of today is mostly known for its clothing and shoes. Even though clothes and shoes are Sophie's biggest sellers, this store is full of interesting finds...

Feel free to disagree, but last weekend I enjoyed the perfect Saturday. It was filled with relaxing and coziness, warmth and togetherness, self-indulgence and happiness. Sounds fabulous right? This is the ultimate Saturday for me. For you it might mean excitement and entertainment, but I would say that whether you...

The season of giving to others is now over. Now is the season where we typically look inward. We still write lists, but this time those lists are about how we want the next year to look for us. What we want to change or what we hope to gain....

Winter is seen as one of the more depressing seasons, even with the joy the holidays tend to bring. But gray weather, the inability to spend long amounts of time outside, the sometimes constant chill can bear down on our emotions. I've caught the winter blues a few times now,...

With Christmas approaching, it is time to start thinking about what to wear...since that is obviously the most important thing regarding the holidays ;).  I scoured the store and found the perfect outfit for your holiday outfit.  Willis in black $79.50 & Club House in green gables $49.50 For me, Christmas...
