Seasoned Oyster Crackers

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…

Black and Gray Striped Dress

Dresses are one of my staple pieces no matter the season. I love casual dresses that can be worn very casually on their own, or dressed up with a pretty belt, some tights, and booties. Old Navy dresses are some of my favorites, and I’ve gone back and picked up more of the same dress in different patterns (I have this one in green and black, as well as the grey and black one shown below). They fit so well, they’re very comfortable, and they’re affordable, especially if you can get them on sale…

Black Tie Shirt + Maroon Pants

Ok y’all. I am in love with everything about this outfit. Fall style is my absolute favorite, and that wine, maroon, merlot color is my power color. It’s my favorite, and with my hair and skin color, it’s perfect. It’s gorgeous for Fall and I think everyone needs something in this color. Also, I love black shirts. Love them. I cannot get enough. The accessories are gorgeous. I’m excited about this whole outfit, and every item I’m wearing is linked! First, let’s talk about this shirt…

Lex Spread Love

When I started blogging a year ago, I never expected to be at the place I am. I never would have guessed that I would have found a group that is so amazing. The Lex Blogger Fam has become such a huge part of my life, and I am so thankful for this blogging community. One of the things I love about the Lex Blogger Fam is that they’re all so kind hearted and happy to give back to the community. I’m very excited to announce that the Lex Blogger Fam has teamed up to produce…

Doggy bowties and bandanas

    I’ve collaborated with my friend Kyla to show off some super cute doggy bandanas and bowties. I asked her to make these for me for Remus, because of course he needs to be extra cute all the time, and I love having him festive for holidays (these particular ones are Halloween themed). She’s created a post showing how she made these, so be sure to check her site out here!     First is a ghost bowtie. I love that it just slides onto his collar. Remus looks so handsome and dapper. Since the…

3 Easy Halloween Pet Costumes for Dogs

Halloween is quickly approaching (seriously, where did September and the first half of October go?!?), and it’s time to start panicking about last-minute costumes. Do you have a pooch you forgot you wanted to dress? I won’t share what Remus is officially going to be yet, but I coerced him with lots of treats and toys to help me show you 3 easy costumes for pups this year. The first is a pumpkin. I found this costume at Target (https://www.target.com/) at the Dollar Spot. I was there last week and this was…

Bloagaversary Year 1

Well y’all, it’s been one year since my first blog post was published. Saturday was my 1 year blogaversary. I wanted to share my blogging experiences. I saw a quote the other day that said, “One year from now you will wish you would have started on your dream today.” It was perfect timing, as I’d already been thinking about what I wanted to say in this post. It’s been a year, and I’m glad I started chasing this. A year ago I took the plunge and published…

5 Little Things You Can Do to Make a Positive Impact

So, y’all, it’s time to get serious. There is a lot of negativity right now. There is a lot of cruelty and hatred in this world, and there is a lot of devastation. I have some friends and family and former coworkers down in Houston and my heart is hurting for them. I wanted to share a few things you can do to add some positivity and light to this world. These are some small things that add to things you already do daily. They may not make a huge impact, but they’re little…

Birthday Wishlist

Last year I published my my wishlist before my birthday, and I figured I would make it a yearly tradition. My birthday is one month from today, and I can’t wait! Obviously I don’t expect a bunch of presents, but it’s a fun way to show things I’ve had my eye on. I’d rather spend time with someone than receive a present – to me that’s much more meaningful. This year I’m spending my birthday in Nashville, and I’m really excited! Casserole Dish Carrier…

20 Perfect Fall Eyeshadow Palettes

Fall is coming way too slowly, but it will be here very soon! With that comes the switching of makeup palettes. Bright, fun colors will be traded in for darker, warm browns and oranges. I’m personally a fan of using grays and darker blues also. I’m definitely a cool-toned girl. But in the Fall, I’m up for using warmer colors. I’m sharing 20 palettes that are perfect for Fall. There are some browns, oranges, yellows, greens, and grays. I can’t wait to start creating some Fall looks with some…
