Hi, friends! Due to many requests, we are so excited to share with you our travel guide to Charleston, South Carolina. Emma and I recently enjoyed a long weekend in Charleston and fell quickly in love with this colorful, charming city! Now, I admit, four days is not nearly enough time to try al...

The Ultimate Jean Tip
Last Friday my sister and I went shopping to purchase our first pair of Madewell jeans. I was on the hunt for a quality pair of black skinny pants that wouldn't fade or get ruined so quickly as many of my cheaper black jeans have. I tried on the most... Continue reading

Work Wears: Donut Fails
If you've been reading for very long, you probably remember when we started sharing a few of our workday outfits in a feature we call "Work Wears" last year (see the archives here). We thought we'd spruce this feature up a little for 2015 and share two to three outfits from our week with you in...

I really love learning about the way people shop and their attitudes toward it. Now that I'm becoming more of an adult with an adult job, I have no problem saving up for more expensive items that I will wear often. I also used to judge people on expensive purses, etc. But now I find myself loving my Madewell bags (not horribly expensive, but definitely more pricey than my previous bag purchases) because they hold up soooo much longer. Over the past year, I've cut out cheap stores, but I do find myself wanting to try out a new trend every once an a while and I've accepted the fact that those stores are good for that. I've been spending more on quality items and buying less things than having an overwhelming closet filled with...crap.

On Shopping New, Old, High and Low
I've recently been putting a lot more thought into how I shop. I've been forming my own, personalized strategy that helps me feel balanced. I'm excited to share it with you today and hopefully start a conversation about how to shop more thoughtfully and encourage a balanced perspective on retai...
I love this look. I'm definitely trying it for my overgrown bangs. I may even try it with a braid on either side since my bangs tend to part in the middle.

what to do with those overgrown bangs...
I love having bangs and will probably have them for the rest of my life. But sometimes (eh, often) I need a bang trim...badly. Weeks pass and before I know it, I can't see from underneath my fringe, and my hair salon doesn't have an appointment available for another couple weeks (I know I shou...

Try This: Oversized Photo Booth Prints (for under $10!)
Why is it that everything gets a million times cooler when it's either giant or tiny? I don't know what it is, but there's something about a dramatic change of scale that makes me love the item that much more (like our tiny photo magnets or these tiny photo books). I was getting a little tired ...
So adorable!! This will be great to make with my little sister!

Felt Flower Wreath
Things finally cooled down in Southern California (yay!), and we're ready to handle a wreath on our front door. Since it doesn't feel like summer every day anymore, I wanted to keep moving forward with the autumnal decorating. Since I already had a dried flower wreath hanging inside, I wanted t...
yummy!! I'm definitely making these for the holidays this year! I can't wait to try it out with some pumpkin butter!

Pie Crust Cookies
It wasn't until adulthood that I truly came to appreciate the buttery, flaky deliciousness that is pie crust! I wish I could go back in time and eat all of those crusts I left behind in my childhood. Though I suppose it's not too late to make up for those lost crusts! This is a super simple coo...
Yum yum!! This will make awesome host gifts for going to holiday parties as well!

Try This: Flavored Butter Party Favors
For Friendsgiving this year I wanted to create something that my coworkers could take home with them afterwards. But I also was prepping an entire meal, so I didn't want to try anything too complicated or time-consuming. I decided to make a few different flavored butters, also sometimes called...
This is so stinkin' adorable and I love it!!

Giant Snowflake Light-Up Marquee
Okay, okay, unless you're the type of person who puts up her Christmas tree the day after Halloween (Elsie!!), you may feel it's still a little early for Christmas decor. My husband Todd is a bit of a Grinch and puts up a big fuss if he hears or sees Christmas-related items before Thanksgiving....
Cannot wait to pick this book up!

How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are
Low on downtime this month (isn't that exactly what always happens at the end of the year?) so there's only one book on my November reading list. But it's a good one. Tres bien. How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits is a new favorite. I took it into bed with me one n...
So many great art + travel links. I love watching those ballet videos.

Five on Friday
1. Word 2. Great Vacation? Don't Brag to Your Friends from The New York Times - I found this article to be really interesting. Are we all rolling our eyes listening to others' adventures? 3. Adventure of Two: The Motorbike - you have to watch this great video of a couple's road trip from Viet...
I feel the pain, Elsie! My office is...a disaster right now. I can't wait to see all the awesome and delicious recipes coming up from Friendsgiving!

Casual Friday Vol. 18
Happy Friday! As you can see, we are making use of our leftover Halloween skull decorations and educating them on what good music sounds like (I can only assume he's listening to Katy Perry, but I can't tell for sure). We have had quite the busy past month here at ABM trying to get ready for ou...

Just wanted to give you all an update on what progress is currently being made on our project house. In case you missed our last post on this, ABM has purchased a small house we'll be renovating and updating (and sharing all that content on the blog) and then donating to HFHS. We're excited to ...
I love Cetaphil. I have sensitive skin and that's the only cleanser that doesn't dry me out. I can't wait to try that mascara! I'm always on the hunt for a good (preferably cheap) one.

Top 10 Drugstore Beauty Products
It's no secret that I'm a total product junkie. I love trying new products and searching out the best pieces from each makeup line. People are always asking me what my favorite drugstore makeup products are, so I thought I'd put together a list of my favorite beauty steals! 1. L'Oreal Par...
