Project Pan 2018 Six Month Update

I can’t believe it’s already July. It seems like it just changed from 2017 to 2018. I said in January that I wasn’t setting any resolutions to follow, but I did set a few goals. One of the goals I set was to pan some of my makeup products. If you don’t know what project panning is, check out my original 2018 Project Pan post. You can see where I started at the beginning of the year. Today I’m going to go over my 6 month update to show my…

Black Off the Shoulder Spring & Summer Dress + Bow Wedges

It FINALLY feels like Spring here in Kentucky! Actually, I think it’s going to skip Spring and go straight into Summer, which I am not thrilled about. But, that means my wardrobe can finally transition! I found the perfect little black dress from Old Navy this week, and I’ll be wearing it all Spring and Summer long. The off the shoulder trend is back, and I’m really excited for it. It’s just so pretty and feminine and has the perfect amount of sexiness to it. I love that this dress is actually…

Horse Cupcakes with Bourbon Icing // Derby Collab

Kentucky is most famous for two things: horses and bourbon. The Kentucky Derby is in a little over a week, and I wanted to share a really fun recipe that combines these two things: Horse Cupcakes with Bourbon Icing. It’s the perfect (and cutest) treat to take to Derby parties, or to just enjoy by yourself. I wouldn’t suggest taking these to work parties, unless alcohol is acceptable at your workplace (it isn’t at mine). I’ve teamed up with other local bloggers to share Derby inspired posts, from outfits to recipes and…

Comfortable Travel Outfit // Jett Black Suitcase

**This post is sponsored by Jett Black. I was sent the product for free, but all opinions are my own. Some links may be affiliate links. This weekend, I’m heading to Nashville for my friend Taylor’s bachelorette. When I travel, comfort is my #1 priority. I hate being stuck in a car for hours while wearing an uncomfortable outfit. I’ve put together a comfortable, affordable, yet chic travel outfit. I love this comfy tee from Aerie. It’s cute, it’s so comfortable, and right now it’s on sale! I…

Casual Chic Black & White Stripes + Red Cardigan

Spring is coming, and that means fashion trends are changing. I love bringing out lightweight cardigans and shorter sleeves that have been hidden under thick coats all winter. I found this adorable red cardigan at Nordstrom during their winter sale. It’s 40% off right now and is perfect for the upcoming spring season. It’s been warming up here in Kentucky, but there are definitely still some chilly days coming. I love pulling out cardigans for those colder days. My favorite part of the cardigan is the sleeves. They’ve got a bell sleeve look, but…

30 Before 30 – My New Year’s Resolution Alternatives

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…

Winter Green Tunic with Winter Accessories

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…

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…
