I subscribe to way too many retailers' newsletters (more than my husband wants to even think about...) but I love when I stumble upon a good sale thanks to those newsletters (that's what they're for, right!?). A few weeks ago, I got an email from LOFT about a 40 percent off sale, and some of the items were already ridiculously marked down, so I couldn't pass this one up, especially when I saw this adorable hooded cardigan! To be honest, I'm not a huge hoodie fan. I don't own

Let me just start with this. I am currently writing this post from 38,000 feet above the ground. Although in-flight WiFi has been a thing for quite some time now, it still weirds me out that I can communicate with people on the ground. So strange. Technology, man. Okay, back to the reason you're here... Last week we had to say goodbye to yet another one of my favorites. I am 100 percent on board with Amanda as the next bachelorette. We need to get that trending... As we head

It’s every Millennial’s dream: wake up whenever you want, live by your own schedule, be your own boss, pursue you passions, and get paid for it. But it seems as though that is a life meant for the rich and famous, for those who have mounds of money and resources at their disposal with instant gratification—not women like you and me. If you would have told Crystal Castillo one year ago that this would be the life she lives at the onset of 2016, she wouldn’t have believed you,

I've always been weird about jewelry. I invest in a few nice pieces, but I don't purchase a ton of jewelry on the reg. I think it's because I often find new jewelry I love and I notice new trends arise, and I end up wanting to buy way more than I should, so I just stick to my simple, everyday pieces and leave it at that. But then, I discovered Rocksbox. If you haven't heard of Rocksbox, basically, it's a jewelry rental service. You pay $19 a month for the membership, and you

Well, my little Bachelor heart was broken last week with Becca's exit. I could have sworn from the beginning that she would be a front-runner, and I think I was in a bit of denial the last few weeks as her run was slowing down. Some people have said she could be a candidate for Bachelor in Paradise, but I don't know. I'd rather see her as the Bachelorette! So, now that we're down to Caila, Lauren, Jojo and Amanda, I think we're faced with the toughest decision yet (excuse my

The 90s has a certain charm about it. You look back at photos of yourself and think, "What in the world was going on in my closet?" But honestly, I am so glad I was a 90s kid. I wouldn't trade Full House, Lisa Frank or Keds for anything. Speaking of Full House, have you seen the full trailer for Fuller House!? Can't. Wait. You may have noticed that certain 90s trends have crept into the 21st century. I've been witnessing some of these trends since my college days (sorority/fr

You may have read my post on redefining how we celebrate Valentine's Day. That post was centered on celebrating all of the love in our lives and eliminating the negative connotation we sometimes associate with the love holiday. It can be so incredibly easy to hate on Valentine's Day and view it as a couples' celebration day, but in my opinion, that's not the intention of the holiday whatsoever. Yes, I know it's marketed toward couples—buy this for your significant other, make

So, maybe I didn't see that Olivia vs. Emily two-on-one date coming last week (I sent both of them home), and I definitely didn't see Olivia going over Emily. She had a good run, though. Can we also talk about how sad it was that Emily and Ben left the island, leaving Olivia standing there literally getting blown away? We are now down to six women (Jojo, Lauren, Becca, Amanda, Emily and Caila) and after this week, we'll be heading to the ladies' hometowns! I am sticking with

If you follow me on Instagram, Snapchat (beccajacoby), Facebook and/or Twitter, you know I attended Create + Cultivate in Dallas the last weekend of January. This trip was extra special for me because it was my first Dallas visit since my husband, pup and I moved to San Francisco last summer. I arrived on Thursday that week so I could make the rounds (as best I could!). I visited the high school I taught at last year, stopped by some of my favorite coffee shops (White Rock Co

I am all about basic T-shirts lately. They look incredible under cardigans, sweaters, with jeans, shorts or dresses, and they're perfect for running errands. I'm also all about comfort, and some T-shirts feel so stiff or clingy. I know -- I'm making a big deal about T-shirts? Hear me out. I attended Create + Cultivate Dallas last weekend (more deets on that coming tomorrow), and we were met with pop-up shops throughout the venue. During my breaks I perused the shops and came
