2017

Hey everyone, welcome back! I hope you all had a great holiday season and that your year is off to an excellent start. 2016 was a great year for me. I traveled to a few new and a few old places, ate lots of tacos, and continued to fall more in love with this great big beautiful world around me. I’m so excited to write 2017 with even more love and tacos.

While I’m kicking off this year with an outfit post, I would love to hear what you guys want to see more of on the blog. I have a few Disney posts to share with you about outfits and meals, plus I’m starting Whole30 on Sunday to reset after the gluttonous holiday season and vacation. If you guys have any interest in following along as I do it (or if there’s anything else you want to see more of) let me know in the comments below!

Thanks for reading!

Cranberry Lace

Happy Friday friends! I hope you all had a great week. Mine was vastly improved by the addition of this gorgeous skirt. The deep cranberry color would definitely work throughout the fall and winter, but in the month of December it gives a subtle festive feel. The combination of lace in a conventional pencil silhouette makes it appropriate for any event you have on your calendar this month.

Do you guys have any fun plans for this weekend? Sound off in the comments below!

Shades of Brown

This faux leather jacket from Express is one of my go to’s for casual weekend layering for fall and winter. My faux leather jackets are definitely one of my fashion must haves (I wear them under parkas during the winter so I have an extra layer on when I’m inside), and I’ve always been a big fan of brown- either as a neutral, or in varying shades by itself. My sister and I have this exact same jacket and riding boots, and showed up to our brother’s high school football game wearing them and sweaters in this exact latte color- we actually match accidentally pretty often! If that doesn’t speak to the functionality of this color combo, I don’t know what would! I love how this jacket can add a touch of edge and glam to even a turtleneck! As far as turtlenecks go, this one is a definite winner. I love how it’s still a warm and chunky knit, but is more fitted than most turtlenecks, so it isn’t totally shapeless and unflattering.
