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!

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!

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.

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.

Holidaze

For some reason this holiday I battled depression and just kind of being in a funk. Then someone came up to me yesterday and just said one line of encouragement and it completely surprised me and changed my entire outlook that day. It just reminded me that one little bit of encouragement can go a long way, even when you don't realize it. Encouragement is a huge thing and can mean the world to someone. Let's try to be more encouraging this holiday season. That might be the best gift to give.

I hope to be somebody who makes everybody feel like a somebody.

 

Outfit: top is from Vineyard Vines, leggings are from Loft, ankle boots are by Free People.

I Spy Something Red

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr. Suess

Trying to soak up and appreciate the moments and find beauty in the small things that I so easily overlook. Today I choose to be thankful. Also, I am super thankful for this new fall scarf. It is my favorite and goes with so many things!

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes you just have a craving for some fresh mozzarella cheese so you have to make a run to the grocery store. One of my favorite healthy snacks is a little fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced cucumber, and reduced fat wheat thins. Being healthy is very important, when you feel good you are more confident, which always makes you look better.

Happiness In A Cup

Sporting my favorite accessory today.. COFFEE. Any day is made better with a little bit of sunshine and a cup of coffee. I chose to wear a lovely turquoise Kate Spade blouse with a basic black pencil skirt. I find wearing bright colors always makes someone with a darker complexion or dark hair pop.

Fall or Rise

"Once you say you're going to settle for second that's what happens to you in life, I find." Never settle for what is good because you don't think you deserve great. If you want better, be better. Even if you fall, always choose to rise. Just some of my thoughts on this dreary Monday.



Smile. It's Monday

In love with this new fall sweater from Anthropologie. It is very comfortable and flattering and has a few sweet feminine touches which I love. I paired it with basic skinny jeans and nude flats. A great look for a fall day.

Colors of Fall

Fall is the perfect season for pulling out the leggings, ankle boots and comfy sweaters. Such a nice thing to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time.

Fresh Air. Fresh Mind.

You didn't let me down. You didn't tear me apart. You just opened my eyes while breaking my heart.

Cooler Weather Sweater

Fashions fade; style is eternal. Regardless of the trend, it is important to know how to put an outfit together. 

Positivity

If you fill your mind with positive reinforcement, one of these days, you will believe it. This new sweatshirt from Banana Republic is a perfect example of that. Isn't confidence the best accessory anyways?
