Chambray Stripe
Does it count as variation when I throw in a vertical, chambray blue stripe top amidst all of my horizontal, navy blue stripe ones? Probably not, but this is one of those tops that would catch my eye every time I would pass by the store (I have an Anthropologie dangerously close to my house). I love the cut and […] Read more…

Spotted Shift
Being a lawyer I often need to dress in a fairly conservative fashion, but I always like to have an interesting pattern or a pop of color even in the most basic and classic of styles, like this shift. The conservative cut, neckline and length of this dress make it completely okay if I throw […] Read more…

Thankful
Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and long holiday weekend. I have so much to be thankful for this year, and I’m long overdue in an update to you! We’ve had a busy fall at the Olson house, with lots of exciting changes. Taylor started first grade and Ella joined him at the same […] Read more…

Although our friends are pretty great, and completely cool with dirt under foot and giant rafts used as patio seating, this summer we wanted to […] Read more…

Fried Apple Sundae with Pie Crust Crisps
Remember this post from last fall? We have a tiny Honeycrisp tree in our yard at the cabin, which produces the most beautiful, delicious fruit…and we have no idea why or how. We don’t touch it all season, it’s subjected to some pretty fierce wind, and it’s all by it’s lonesome (which was confusing to […] Read more…

Elote (Mexican Corn)
This time of year I fluctuate between wanting to never see another ear of corn again to wanting to eat as much as possible before the roadside stands switch over their stock to pumpkins (which will happen before you know it!).To take a break from the usual butter and salt routine, I’ve made this version of corn […] Read more…
