Valentine’s Day is coming up. I’ve been a single girl for a while, but that doesn’t stop me from celebrating. I love hanging out with my girlfriends on Valentine’s Day. Last year I went to the gym with my friend Hannah and our pups had a play date (check out my post on Remus’ first Valentine’s Day to see my cutie’s Vday pics from last year). In college, I’d gather up some of my sorority sisters and head to dinner and a movie. This year…
A year ago, I made a life changing decision. I’ve never had the urge to be a mom, unless it was to a furry little creature with four legs and a tail. I’ve always known being a dog mom is my true calling. My friend Brooke knew I’d been thinking about getting a puppy, and she told me she knew of someone giving one away. They’d found him on the side of the road on New Year’s Eve, and had taken him in. I sent the lady a message, and…
I was born in Lexington, and raised in Georgetown. I’ve lived there my entire life, minus my four years in Morehead for college. Somehow, there are still plenty of restaurants in Lexington I haven’t tried. If you missed my 30 Before 30 list, one of the things I want to do before I turn 30 is try 30 new Lexington restaurants. I’ve heard recommendations for most of these, and some just sounded really good. I’m excited to try them and explore new local places! Here are all the places I want to…
Y’all, I think I’ve found a new favorite shirt. This cream shirt with pretty lace details is everything I’ve ever wanted in a shirt. It’s very pretty, it’s so comfortable, and it’s under $20. I wore this shirt on Black Friday for shopping with my family in Tennessee. I love that it’s long enough to wear with leggings, and that made it perfect for a full day of shopping. The lace details are gorgeous. They really add a special something to what would normally be a…
30 is creeping up on me. I turned 28 in September, and it really has me thinking. My friend Jess started a 30 before 30 plan this year, and I thought it was a really good idea. Instead of creating New Year’s Resolutions this year, I’ve created my own 30 Before 30 list. I’ve come up with 30 items I want to check off before I’m 30. Some of these items are on my basic bucket list, and some are just things I would like to do. 1. Travel to Europe This…
New Year’s Eve is less than a week away. If you’re still looking for the perfect outfit, a little black dress is always a great option. Spruce it up with a fancy clutch or sparkly statement jewelry, and it’s perfect. I’ve found three black dresses that are perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, and there’s still time to scoop them up before the big night! Option 1 is probably my favorite, and is probably the dress I’ll end up wearing on NYE. I love the neck…
Easy Grinch cookie recipe – great for Christmas and holiday parties…
Christmas is getting very close. If you’re looking for something last-minute to wear, this green and grey tunic is perfect. The green really gives it a Christmas-y feel. It’s very comfortable and affordable. I wore this tunic shopping all day in Lexington, then to a holiday party in the evening. It’s so comfortable and soft! I love that the green gives it a very Christmas-y vibe, but it’s a really great shirt for the entirety of winter. This is one of my favorite winter colors. This shirt is under…
It’s holiday season, and that means plenty of holiday parties. I’ve teamed up with other local bloggers to share holiday decor, recipes, style tips, and more. Be sure to check out the bottom of this post for links to the sites of the other participating parties! Today I’m sharing an easy recipe perfect for holiday parties. Some parties have food provided, but some ask that party attendees bring a dish. Seasoned oyster crackers are some of my favorite snacks, and they’re always a big hit at gatherings. They’re also great…
I’ve talked about how I love plain tees for Fall. I’m also a sucker for a striped tee (mostly thanks to Adrielle from Style Assisted (https://www.styleassisted.com/). I’ve found an amazing shirt for Fall that combines stripes and solids, and I’m loving it for this chilly Kentucky weather. This shirt is so comfortable and flattering. It comes in this red color, but also a deep forest green (another one of my favorite Fall colors), and it’s only $10! It pairs really well with a vest – I went…
