Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but I also love the cooler weather so I can wear my jeans! My fall and winter uniform is simple: a pair of jeans and a casual top or sweater (my go-to brand is AG in the Farrah style, which is a high waisted skinny jean). This fall…
So I think we all know what dry shampoo is and what it is used for. Some use it for the obvious reason– to eliminate the oily look of day-old hair. Some use it to add texture to a style. Some use as a way to extend a blowout. And some use it to disguise…

Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
