BEAUTY MUST-HAVES

THE EASIEST GO-TO WEEKEND OUTFIT

Happy Thursday! Anybody else feel like Friday can’t come fast enough??? Very ready for the weekend over here. Partially because I’ve found my new go-to weekend look and I can’t wait to wear it again (seriously, I look forward to days because of what I get to wear – totally normal, I swear). Here it is: A pair of white sneakers. A pair of white jeans. A striped tee with a sweet little detail. A simple tote. A pair of fabulous sunglasses. A silk scarf. A leather jacket. A pair of gold hoops. Et voila! The easiest weekend look ever. See? That really was easy!

MY FAVORITE WARDROBE PIECE – THE PLEATED MIDI-SKIRT

I’m currently crushing on a pleated midi-skirt and think every stylish gal should get one of these into her closet, ASAP. It’s a multi-season piece that can be paired with so many different types of shoes and tops, can be dressed up or down, and is comfortable to boot. I’m in love. Jump on into this post for ideas on how to incorporate it into your own wardrobe!

LET’S GET NAUTICAL WITH OLD NAVY

T.G.I.F. Y’ALL!! Sure it’s St. Patrick’s Day and maybe you’re all wearing green but not me! It’s simply not my color. Guess you’ll have to pinch me. Know why? Because this spring season, I am going nautical and I’m doing it in style with one of my favorite brands, Old Navy. Know what that means? Easy on my budget. I’m saving for a wedding after all! Know what else that means? Stripes, stripes, and more stripes! Plus one of my favorite color-combos, navy and red. It’s easy to mix and match, looks sharp with all skin tones, and will work all the way through the summer season, too. Jump on in this post for two different looks and lots of inspiration. Let’s get nautical! 

CHANGING MY LIFE

2017 has been a major year for me so far. Sure we’re only three months in, but I have been deeply focused on changing my life. And not just in a New Years Resolutions that you never keep kind of way. I’m talking about a balls-out, admit to the dark and unhealthy paths I was very far down, and then do something about it no matter the cost, kind of way. It’s been the slowest, most painful, most spiritual, most honest, most deliberate, and most rewarding time of my life. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. But even when you are your own worst critic, you aren’t always able to admit your worst flaws.

IS IT TIME FOR SPRING?! WITH JORD WATCHES

Just this weekend I reached that annoying point in the year where I am so ready for spring but it is so not warm enough to wear all my new spring clothes, yet. It’s that awkward transition period that I cannot stand – like when you’re trying to grow your short hair out to a gloriously long mane but the in-between stage where you’re always pinning it up seems to last forever and ever (yep, currently happening to me as we speak, can you tell!?). So what should you do to bide the time? My secret is to bring all the elements of spring like a khaki trench coat, pastel leathers, colorful jewelry and a lightweight wood watch to my cool weather wear. I give off the vibe of spring without freezing my butt off. I’m basically willing spring to come with my fashion. It’s bound to work, I’m sure. Need to be convinced to keep reading? Hop on into this post for $25 off and the chance to win $100 towards a new JORD watch

FEMALE (STYLE) ROLE MODELS FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!

Happy International Women’s Day, ladies! Today I’m celebrating the women who I admire for who they are and what they’ve accomplished, as well as for what they wear. My list of female (style) role models is short and sweet. It’s not that I don’t have more of them – of course I do – but these are my top of the top of the top.
