My Newest Shoe Obsession While scrolling through Instagram, these green heels with black and white stripes stopped me in my scroll. Yes, I[...]
Happy Friday! How was your week? I'm assuming we are all on the same page because I'm absolutely thrilled it's Friday! Eager for a little downtime. This weekend we have no plans which is AHHHHHHHmazing. You'll find me on my yoga mat, spinning in my home gym, or playing dominos with The Boy and kiddos. Plus, I've picked up a new hobby! I'm[...]

Oooooph, whoever is challenging 2020 needs to stop. It's been a rough ride, so I'm going to begin this Beautiful Distractions with a video of tiny goats visiting river otters.

It was so bad that I thought for sure Mercury was in retrograde...ummmm, it wasn't...I checked...it just happened to be a shit sandwich day that required a helmet. To brighten[...]

I’m addicted to shopping, I can’t help myself. just when I think I couldn’t possibly want or need another lamp, shirt, necklace, or chair, boom…I see it, and I need it more than life itself. A bit dramatic, sure, but there’s no judging here at House Of Hipsters. Lately, I’ve been trying to control my urges, so I’ve been mak[...]
