Warm & Fuzzy (Asos)


Ya'll know by now that I love scoring beautiful things at awesome prices - it's why I often share how I find items in Buy/Sell/Trade groups on Facebook. Retro gals all over the globe selling items that either don't fit properly or have been worn but are in excellent condition?! Yes please!


You know what they say: another gal's discarded beauty is another's treasure...

What's Sara Reading? Goodbye, Sweet Girl (Tatyana)


What is this? A book inspired outfit post? Whaaaaaaat?


Yeah, I know, it has been A MINUTE since I shared one (my last one was, oh boy, May of last year!) but as I was chatting with Kristina from Eyre Effect in her comment section recently, I decided I needed to bring back the book reviews. After all, when In a Nutshell came to be, the blog was supposed to focus on style, books, and recipes - my world, in a nutshell (BOOM! Get it?).

Simply the Best: 2018 in a Nutshell


'Tis the season for bloggers to recap 2018! I love sharing these posts every year. For one, it's interesting and fun to look at my stats and see what posts were the most engaging and clearly the favorite month to month.


Sometimes, as a content creator, we get so amped for a post and think "oh this is gonna be a hit..." only for it to do just OK. Then other times, we're feeling meh about a post or photos and it gets more comments and views than any other post that year. Content creation is funny, folks!


I was also told last year by a reader that these recaps are the best for new readers - they get to see the highlights of the blog from the entire year and bring them up to speed if they've only been following for the later part of the year. I never considered that but love that these posts are beneficial for some! In the past, I've shared my personal favorites but last year I opted to share the ones that performed best each month and that was equally as fun! So I decided to keep it going for this year's post. So without further ado, let's review 2018 (and oh what a year it was!).

The Phoenix (Voodoo Vixen)


Do you have re-occurring dreams? Or re-occurring dream themes?


I definitely do! I used to think it was anxiety caused but mine occurs randomly in recent years so it's hard to tell for sure.
