2 ways to wear a denim jacket

It’s been really cold here these past few days so obviously boots + layers are necessary.  I know most people get annoyed with the freezing cold weather… and maybe I’m weird… but I don’t really mind it.

For look number two, I love pulling a summer dress and wearing… Read More

But I’ve been noticing that in all my photoshoots, my lips have disappeared.  So I keep thinking to myself that I should add more color to my lip routine.  Que Joey and her comment about Wet N Wild lipstick {at $2} being her favorite. Ok, I can try that.  So I bought it several weeks ago but never even peeled the plastic off. But when this pink blouse got pulled out… Read More

Weekending: the laid-back edition

Typically, our weekends are anything but laid-back.  I like to go and see and do on the weekends since there’s no time for it Monday-Friday. But during basketball season, it’s nice to just have some down time since we don’t get it. Friday night was started off with two wins!  Mom and dad made the drive to come watch and then we went grab some Japanese.  We had great conversation and it was fun to have them here for a bit.  By 10:00 we were all yawning. Our original plan for the weekend was to pack up Saturday morning and… Read More

{The unexpected} Style icon

When Jana and Maegen posted their January lineup The Creative Closet linkup, today’s prompt caught my eye immediately. Style icon. Who is my style icon?  When no one immediately came to mind, the English teacher nerd inside of me started thinking about the definition of an icon. Here’s what the Internet had to say about it: 1. a person who is very successful and admired 2.  a widely known symbol One of my favorite things about style is how it’s always evolving.  I love how things go out and come back in.  Change – it’s the great constant. So with… Read More

Ringing in 2015 + a little more

Yesterday morning I told David I could live my life in Christmas break mode all year long.  It was the perfect amount of busy and free time.  Because if I get too much free time, I get so bored and wish there was something going on.  And over break there definitely was.  It was busy.  It was busy with things and people I love. But we’re back into the swing of things.  So here we go!  Let’s make it a good one! #firstmondayof2015 Our New Year’s Even was laid back and perfect.  Here’s a few pictures we snapped as we… Read More
