December recap + January goals

1.  Make a new recipe again. Does all the Christmas baking count?  K, good. 2.  Have devotions on the weekend. I didn’t do this consistently enough so it’ll rollover into January.  David got me a book for Christmas called Jesus Today {by the author of Jesus Calling}. 3.  Bake Christmas goodies for gifts.  See #1.  And it was so much fun.  And so much deliciousness.  We even have a handful of chocolate covered pretzels still left! 4.  Send Christmas cards and do a Christmas craft. Christmas cards – I designed them and had them printed.  They sat on my kitchen… Read More

Goals for the new year

via 2014 has come and gone.  And I’m excited for the new adventures of 2015! I’m really into lists because they keep me on track.  This year, thanks to blogland, I learned the effectiveness of writing monthly goals. So… for the last few days, my brain has been casually tossing around some goals.  And none seemed to “click.”  Until I read Chelsea’s 6 questions to ask yourself first. And then it just all came together. What is one thing in my control that I want to be different next year?  Rolling with the punches. via I’m a planner.  I like… Read More

Sequins + Leather {And Oh, Hey Girl! Link-Up}

I’m so excited to be co-hosting today’s linkup with the fabulous Brooke and Erica at Pumps & Pushups! They combine fashion and fitness perfectly.  If you haven’t checked them out before… get on it! Here’s a low-key look to ring in 2015.  {The bonus?  You probably have these pieces stashed in your closet!} New Year’s Eve just calls for sequins, right?  And there are a million {and one} adorable little cocktail dresses out there that you could choose from. On the real, though, we’re having a few friends over.  There’s no dance club or fancy restaurant in my future.  {At least not… Read More

2014 | A year in review

There are some things I have really enjoyed since I’ve entered the blogworld.  One such thing, is making my monthly lists.  But over the past few weeks, I’ve also noticed that bloggers review their year.  So I’ve been excited to join in and do the same. {January} We rang in the new year with Katrina and Angelo. Every night we hang out with them is great.  But it was the first year since 2009 {our first in Newton} that we didn’t spend NYE with Scott and Sarah.  I’m excited to hang out with both couples on Wednesday night.  A low… Read More

A double dose of Christmas

After our Asheville weekend, things have been nonstop.  So nonstop that I have taken an embarrassing amount of zero pictures.  Well, almost. /// We’ve had a couple of basketball games, Christmas in Newton with the Hoots and Christmas in Winston with the Pierces.  I came down with a virus during the Hoots Christmas and David caught it in Winston during the Pierce Christmas. But even in the midst of a little bit of sickness, here are a few things I’ve learned this Christmas season… {1} The longer you’re married, the more it feels like our Christmas traditions instead of his family or my family.… Read More

The ironic Christmas card post

Merry Christmas, friends! I designed this card over the Thanksgiving weekend and it was shipped to me just a few days later.  And as I write this from my hotel room in Asheville for our #5yearslater trip, they’re still sitting on my kitchen counter.  Not addressed.  Not stamped.  No sweet notes have been written.  Not a single one has been mailed. Shoulda done a new years card.   Please like & share Fashion + Feathers:

#5yearslater

We spent this weekend in Asheville to celebrate the day that we got engaged five years ago. Saturday morning, we packed up and hit the road around 10.  Our weekend consisted of eating, a little wine drinking, the Biltmore twice, hot-tubbing and all around relaxation.  And pictures tell a much better story than I do. It’s wonderful to reminisce on that weekend five years ago.  As much as things have changed and we’ve grown and learned, it feels so magical to know I made the right choice saying yes to this guy. {Linkups} | Biana | Meghan | Ashley | Leeann | Kimberlee | Molly | Please like & share Fashion +… Read More

An ecard for everything

This has been a great week!  No, I didn’t get my Christmas shopping done.  {Why didn’t I do that online?  Wasn’t that my goal?  Do I still have time for online shopping?} Still haven’t found a new refrigerator.  But sometimes you just gotta roll with it.  {My motto, as of late…} Tuesday started out in a less than stellar way.  Saturday was my work Christmas party and when we got home, David hit the garage door button.  It was rising… then started going really slow… then BANG.  Hit the ground. Short story is a bunch of stuff broke {gears, chains, belts…… Read More

Two ways to wear leopard print flats

Two ways to wear is my favorite.  It’s been missing for a week or two so I’m pumped to bring it back! Before we get into the outfit, lets establish two things… {One} Yes, I know I whined about not being able to find leopard print flats for about a month.  But then I found some at Express for 40% off and I’m pumped that I bought them.  I can’t believe this is their blog debut because I’ve worn them multiple times a week.  Every week. {Two} I’m obsessed with Christmas movies on Hallmark.  And I get my fashion inspiration… Read More

Black skinny pants for life

I have three pair of black skinny pants and they all get pulled out of the closet alllll the time.  Casual day at work where I just feel like throwing my hair in a ponytail?  Yep.  A dressed up day at work?  Mmmhmm.  A night out?  Probably so.  All that and everything in between. Tell me I’m not the only one.  They’re just so versatile, right?  I can wear them with errrthang. #blackskinnypantsforlife Please like & share Fashion + Feathers:
