I’ve fallen out of wearing skirts lately with the holiday vacation and traveling with the family (pants are just so much easier when you’re toddler-chasing!). Now that it’s back to business as usual, my skirts are making a reappearance. Plaid has probably been my new favorite trend of the season and I paired my plaid skirt with some heavy winter staples — a chunky turtleneck and faux fur vest. If it weren’t for the polar vortex, I would’ve gone without tights to avoid the bottom half of my outfit from looking so dark. Today though, tights were non-negotiable! I hope you’re staying toasty and thanks for stopping by!
P.S. In case you missed it:
- Red Coat + Leopard Scarf – A bright coat to brave the cold.
- Giveaway: Win the sold out Zara Tartan Scarf!

I really can't think of anything you could change on your blog, I think it's awesome the way it is, but I really enjoyed your posts on Yoga and would be interested to see more about your workout routine and how you handle being a momma, working, and finding time to exercise (not to mention it looks like you cook healthy meals for your family to boot!)
Kileen says
Thanks Tiffany! Will definitely start doing some haul posts. 🙂

I like that you have a tutorial for a fun updo. I can do a top knot and that is about it. It's great that you have a post on paraben free make up. I have not seen much of that on other blogs.
Kileen says
thanks April!

I absolutely love seeing your more casual outfits, I'm quite a jeans-and-tank-top kind of girl, and that's one of the reasons I love those outfits, since they're more in my confort zone. I know you always say fashion is for experimenting and having fun but, truth be told, it freaks me out a little to experiment. I love your blog and I kept checking it the whole year you were gone, I was so worried about what had happenend to your baby and about to give up when you came back! So, I'm really happy to see your style back. Happy new year and my best wishes from Guatemala!

I like the hair tips! I'm a dummy when it comes to my long hair, so I love any ideas I can get. I love the styles you show, but maybe a little more how-to for styling hair!

Really love the style tips!!! They really help when trying to fit clothes together than you already have instead of buying
Kileen says
thank you so much for the kind words, Sara! my pregnancy was such an emotional roller coaster at the time that I couldn't juggle blogging on top of everything. in hindsight, I do regret stopping as I lost touch with everyone and everything in the blog world, but I'm hoping to slowly build it back up again. i wasn't sure that I was going to come back either after I stopped blogging but it's been so nice to have this outlet for myself again. I will definitely try to incorporate more casual wear on the blog (sometimes my weekday outfits towards the end of the week are more casual anyways as I tend to wear jeans and a loose shirt). thanks so much for keeping up with me through all these years! <3
Kileen says
oh I'm lacking in hair skills too! i basically only have a couple hairstyles that I always fall back to but i'll definitely share any styles that I figure out!
nicole webster says
