I’ve been loving playing with proportions and lengths in my wardrobe so far this season, and kimonos are a fun way to do that! I’ve seen kimonos in solid colors, bright floral prints (like this great pic from Express), and of all lengths and sizes. You can find long sleeve, […]

Holy Moley, it’s the first day of June! Which means a few things / it’s almost officially summer, my weekends are basically fully planned from now thru mid-August, and pink is becoming an even more prominent in my wardrobe. Not really because pink is always a fixture in my wardrobe, […]

It feels like we’ve finally moved past the chilly temps and the snow that continued to pop up on the radar, and I am so ready for Spring/Summer weather! I love when the flowers and trees start to bud and blossom, because I feel like my wardrobe does too. I […]

Can’t believe another beautiful Mother’s Day has come and gone! Thankfully, I was able to spend mine with my mom, my grandmother, Jeff’s mom, and a few of my aunts and other favorite moms! It’s important to me to share my appreciation for my mother’s love and support everyday, but […]

I always have the itch to travel and explore new places in the world! I have a bucket list that involves visiting all of the State Capitols, but also that has an extensive list of cities I want to see and experiences I want to have. One of the cities […]

Over the weekend, I attended a beautiful wedding between one of my long-time closest friends and the love of her life! We were so excited to join in celebrating the nuptials between Stephanie and Joe, with a few of our favorite couples as well! Back in January, we celebrated the […]

With Spring just a few days in, I am getting anxious for the flowers and trees to start blossoming and blooming. I love when the the outdoors comes back to life and the air is filled with the scents of flowers, green grass, and bustling leaves. Spring, to me, is […]

I can’t believe that today is the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!! Seriously, January always seems to take forever but the last month and a half have gone by so quickly I can’t even handle it! I can’t complain though, because I’ve had a great winter but this Midwest gal is […]

It may be March but that doesn’t mean that the twinkling lights and the wintry greens need to be put away for the season! Same goes for adding pops of red and shiny deep burgundy to my outfits! When the temps are frigid, I plan my winter looks to be […]

In case you didn’t know or if this is your first time checking out my blog, I am in love with the color pink. I find that it looks great with my hair color, complements my skin tone, and generally just makes me happy. When I find great pieces that […]

I consider myself to be a VERY lucky girl when it comes to the man I’ve chosen to spend my life with! He’s sweet, generous, funny, and he likes to cook. When I told him that I was chosen to participate in the Influenster campaign for P.F. Chang’s Home Menu, […]

This year for Christmas Eve, I stepped away from my traditional holiday style that was full of deep reds and blacks into black lace-up pointed toe heels, sheer black tights, and a beautiful pleated silver midi-skirt for a mostly monochromatic look. Going for a more comfortable, casual, yet stylish look, I paired a […]
