Three Black Dresses for New Year’s Eve

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…

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 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…

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…

Life update and new blog look!

Hey y’all. I’ve been taking a little bit of a blogging break… yes, again. I wanted to do a quick little update for a little bit of an explanation. July held my one year blogaversary! Now, I haven’t posted anything on it yet. Because, I only purchased my domain in July. It took me until September to actually post. So I will be officially celebrating in September, because that’s when I feel things really started. This year… I redid my blog! In case you haven’t noticed, my blog has a new look! Along with that…

5 Quick and Easy Hairstyles for When You’re Running Late

I like sleep. I like a lot of sleep. I’m that person everybody hates at sleepovers because I set 500 alarms in the morning (only kidding, it’s usually around 10). I am absolutely, 100% not a morning person. Sometimes I get up early enough to actually straighten or curl my hair, but most mornings I sleep just a little too late and don’t have enough time. I’m usually running a little behind (running late is definitely my cardio), so I just throw my hair up. Here are 5 hairstyles for times when…
