Creamsicle Dreamsicle

The snow is melting and the sun is shining! It has been an uplifting few days, got to love the sunshine. With all the sunshine lately I am reminded of a new favorite quote: " The sun will rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light while it's here is up to us. Journey wisely."

 

Loving this new cream dress from Loft. I decided to pair it with these fuchsia Kate Spade pumps for a dash of color. I also had a fuchsia scarf to go but it is not pictured.

Sunshine!

After all the snow and clouds for the past week, the sun came out today and I couldn't be happier! If only I had a job where I could sit outside in the sun and sip on some coffee :)

 

Outfit: Jeans- Madewell, Blouse- Loft, Shoes- Nine West.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

"When snow falls, nature listens." We had one of the prettiest snows that I have ever seen this weekend. One of my favorite things about snow is that it brings you together and forces you to slow down. I did more walking and thinking outside than I have done in a long time. And it felt as though for a brief moment, time stood still. I was able to think through some things and have long talks with my sister which I could never get tired of. Truly a fulfilling weekend. The only negative is that I do not have an outfit to go with these bright rain boots ;)

 

Snow Outfit: Ear muffs: UGG, Leggings and sweater: Loft, Pea Coat: Lands End.

Dreaming Of A White January

Enjoying the first snow of the year! Everything outside looks prettier covered in snow. My snow outfit: Kate Spade polka dot sweatshirt with a bow, black leggings, black Naturalizer rain boots. It's warm, comfortable, and feminine.

Be An Example

"Excellence wherever you find it gets noticed. How we live matters." No matter where you are or who you are, someone looks to you. Be an example of love, kindness, strength, and a dash or two of class to the younger generations. Be someone that someone dreams of being.  A good place to find inspiration is in a book. You just can't beat the atmosphere of Barnes and Noble.

Sometimes I find myself in situations that make me feel small, which gives me an opportunity to where even higher heels ;) I am what some would call a little short, I always have been. But like my grandmother always said, " the best gifts come in small packages". Own who you are and be thankful for everything that makes you different.

 

Love pairing these ankle boots with leggings. It dresses it up a bit.

Take A Walk

"There was never a light at the end of the tunnel. There was only a long tunnel made longer by our presence."  Some situations do not have a light at the end. Sometimes we just need to leave and walk another path. Don't put off the inevitable hoping to find a light where there never will be. I find long walks outside are quite the breath of fresh air, physically, emotionally and mentally. Take a walk and think, does this situation benefit or hinder me? If it hinders, you may want to leave the tunnel.

 

My walking outfit: loose winter sweater: Loft. Dark jeans: Kate Spade. Hair: In a bun :)

Keep Your Head Up

" If I ever let my head down it will be just to admire my shoes." No matter what life throws at you, keep your head up! Don't let others get you down. You were created for such a time as this. You've got this!

Got a new pair of Kate Spade heels for the new year, perfect shoe to dress up or down. Here they are paired with Kate Spade jeans and a loft sweater for a more casual look.

New Year

It's a new year! Let's leave what happened in 2015, in 2015. This is a brand new year that can be filled with happiness, joy, fulfillment and strength. Work hard. Play hard. Love people. Love yourself! Keep moving forward this year and make it a year you are proud of.
