When I first discovered Oak + Fort’s sleek, simple fashions, it was like stumbling upon a minimalist’s gold mine. The Canadian label is much-revered for their architectural approach to apparel, and I’ve gotten a ton of mileage from the pieces I’ve scored there. Think dresses with striking tailoring, pants with unusual pleating and proportions, and […]

Fun fact: For decades, my grandparents ran the only rug store in Reno, Nevada. To say that my grandmother—and subsequently my mother—was rug obsessed would be putting it mildly! I remember going shopping for vintage rugs with them, flipping through the stacks upon musty stacks in hopes of finding woven gems. The process was arduous, […]
There’s nothing like the start of a new year to inspire a fresh start! Especially with a baby on the way, I’ve been working hard at getting organized in 2020, in every area of my life. That doesn’t just mean I’m cleaning out the linen closet and labeling all my spice canisters; it applies to […]
