It’s April 9 and 50 degrees here in Texas. I’ve already put all my winter clothes away so I’m left with the light jackets I keep in my coat closet all year. So naturally.. I started thinking about summer and all the glorious sunlight that comes with it. I’ve always wondered if I love the sun because I was born in August.. is that weird? Anyway, I’ve also started thinking about our future travel plans, which hopefully involve a cruise…
Have you noticed blazers popping up everywhere lately? It seems like they’re always in or at least not forgotten and I would say they’re definitely a staple piece and a must have in every wardrobe. I have a few blazers that I must admit are not designer brand, but have definitely survived all of my closet Spring cleanings. They are my ride or die when I need a cute cover up for work or something to keep me warm on those unpredictable weather…
If its not too obvious already, I am no makeup guru. But, like a lot of you girls out there, I love makeup and beauty products. It feels amazing to find the right combination of products that just work with you. It’s even more amazing when this combo of products gets you from looking dead in the morning to looking semi decent and ready for work! I’ve always had issues with acne and dark spots. Oh my gosh I look…
Hello! So…lately I’ve been hearing all this “girl boss” talk. The “be your own boss”, “be the CEO your mom wanted you to marry” talk, or rather just captions on Insta. emiright? I can’t help but feel that even though this can be super encouraging to some women, it can also be discouraging to others. It might even form confusion. To some women these captions are totally relatable, because in fact, they ARE their own boss. It gets tricky when the…
Hello! The other day I found myself shopping at Poppy Apparel and fell in love with this shirt. It’s so simple and powerful. Lately, we’ve heard women speak out more than ever and I couldn’t be more proud. It’s so refreshing to see this change and although it’s not a giant step, it’s a step forward. So back to the tee, when I see “The Future is Female” I realize that it can potentially mean different things to different people. Personally,…
It’s Valentine’s day! So it’s pretty obvious that it’s not everyone’s favorite day. If you would have told my naïve 13-year old self this, I would have said, are you crazy? Who doesn’t love Valentine’s day?! Maybe the reason is a bad experience one year, or you just don’t see the point in celebrating love on ONE day, like why not celebrate it every day? While I agree on celebrating love every day and being sweet to your loved ones all year, Valentine’s…
Deciding what to wear for work used to make me anxious. Okay, it still does, but I’ve learned a few tricks to help me get through that morning routine in a breeze. Most of you know that I’m a high school teacher, but few of you know that I started teaching at the age of 21. I’m 25 now but I feel like my face has not changed and I still get the daily “Omg I thought you were a…
Hello everyone! Two things you should know about this coat: it’s my moms, and it’s from her insanely large collection of coats. To say she is obsessed with coats would be an understatement. She collects them and I’m sure she can fill up a closet with them. Anyway, she let me borrow this gorgeous one the other day partly because I am the complete opposite and don’t collect coats. It’s not that I don’t like them, I just don’t bother buying them because there is hardly any cold…
Santa, baby give me some cold weather! We took these pictures the week before Thanksgiving and it was probably 85 degrees outside, but somehow it looked like Christmas in every corner of the street. I love how festive everyone around me has been, which makes me love the holiday even more. When I was growing up, we didn’t really have any set Christmas traditions. Sometimes we didn’t even have a tree up. Gasp, I know. It was mainly because my parents would take my brothers and I…
The other day I stopped by Target for a few toiletries I needed and somehow ended up walking out with this cardigan and pink handbag (along with other unnecessary things). Does this sound familiar? All too familiar, perhaps. It happens to all of us, right? Anyway, when I bought the two I meant to wear the cardigan and bag separately, but something told me to pair them together, and I’m so glad I did. I love mixing casual with dressy. In this case…
