An Organic New Years Eve

Bringing in the new year with some healthy snacks. One of my favorite snacks is diced peppers and cucumbers with a light sour cream dip. Here's to a healthy 2016!

Trendy Wednesday

Loving this new pencil skirt from J. Crew. The green, navy and black plaid is very in this fall and winter season. Paired it with a dressy black blouse from Brooks Brothers and black pumps from Antonio Melani. Tucked the blouse in to accentuate the waist line. Perfect outfit for the office.

Railroad Crossing

"She was unstoppable not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them" - Christine Caine

I love this quote. We will all have battles and hard times, but you have to decide to keep going. Stay on the tracks and keep moving forward.

Outfit: Skinny jeans from Loft; Nude pumps from Nine West; Beige sweater from Draper James. 

Merry Christmas

I love the holidays. Growing up, Christmas was a day to put on our best outfit and go to our grandparents house. Through the years, we have lost our grandparents, but we still keep the tradition of dressing up alive! Another tradition we have kept is delicious holiday punch :)

I am in love with these new black pumps by Antonio Melani, the bow adds a nice feminine touch.

Ugly Christmas Sweater

Doesn't get much better than to be able to have ugly Christmas sweater day at work! So thankful I work at a place that has some fun every now and then. I got this lovely turtle neck and vest at the one and only K-Mart. They have a great selection of Christmas attire!

Christmas Came Early

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well not to me. I much rather prefer other precious gems, such as sapphire. Was surprised with an early Christmas present, this beautiful yet simple sapphire ring :)

Ending Is Better Than Pending

Ending something whether it is a job, relationship, or habit can be very difficult to do. But what I have come to find is ending something opens you up to beginning something else. That something else will most likely be better than you could ever imagine and you may just find what brings you true happiness and fulfillment.

 

Today's outfit is a super comfortable ensemble perfect for walking: Nine West flats, Madewell relaxed fit jeans, Loft sweater.

A Little Sugar And Spice Sounds Nice

Been feeling under the weather with a scratchy throat and congestion, and the new holiday flat white from Starbucks is the perfect medication. A perfect blend of holiday sugar and spices. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

For The Holidays, You Can't Beat Home SWEET Home

Some traditions are better than others. One tradition I am particularly fond of is my mom makes the same cookies that her mom would make every year at Christmas. Can you really go wrong when peanut butter, pecans, and chocolate are involved? I think not ;) Treat yourself this holiday season.

March To The Beat Of A Different Drum

Embrace what makes you unique and different, because that is what makes you beautiful! I have a hobby and it is playing the drums. While some might find that odd that a chick plays the drums, I find that it makes me unique and part of what makes me, me. You are the only you on this planet, so own it and be proud of all that you are!

 

Skinny jeans: Loft, Ankle boots: Gianni Bini, Leather jacket: Abercrombie

Let Go

Stop holding onto people who keep letting go of you. Pay attention to the faithful people. I enjoyed a night out in beautiful Nashville to see a lovely Christmas show.  I find spending time enjoying the small things and with people that truly care about you, fill you with such happiness. Plus who doesn't love an opportunity to get all dolled up and walk around downtown? I am in love with this long winter coat from Kate Spade. Such a classic and dressy piece.

Ho Ho Hot Chocolate

Shout out to my wonderful sister who loves to make me happy and make me feel so loved! She made me a cup of her famous Christmas hot chocolate. Perfect for a cold night by the fire. This hot chocolate is topped with delicious whipped cream, large marshmallows and a candy cane.

Tis The Season

... To be jolly! There aren't many things better than walking through a Christmas tree farm and sipping on a cup of hot chocolate. Goodness, I love this time of year.

Just A Reminder

"Be with a guy who ruins your lipstick, not your mascara."

As a huge fan of mascara, ladies, if you are with a man that makes you cry ( not because you are laughing so hard ) leave him. Life is too short to be with someone that makes you feel insecure or not good enough. You are perfectly unique and deserve someone that makes you feel beautiful and loved.
