Winter Trio
BeautySo thanks to my impulsive buying habits, I picked up these three new shades of nail polish last night while picking up some other NEEDED items… but when I brought them home, I was glad they ended up in my basket. As I have been looking for some new colors for the winter months (rather than my typical go-to ruby red shimmer shade), I realized I am pretty set for upcoming events.
Eighteen Years Ago
UncategorizedEighteen years ago, the best Christmas gift I could ask for came a little early. Today is my little sister’s birthday and to say that she is an adult now is just so crazy to me… where did the time go?! I couldn’t be more blessed to have her in my life. She has always told me that I am her role model, but as she has grown older, she’s the one I’ve been looking up to. She is the sweetest, most selfless, kind-hearted person you could ever meet. She also knows how to have a good time and...
Tinsel Tuesday
OutfitsYou might be wondering what Tinsel Tuesday is? Well I wanted to go off of my last “What I’m Wearing” post on a casual Friday just to keep you updated on my wardrobe during the week since I don’t have a chance to take and post pictures every single day. Anyway, I am calling it Tinsel Tuseday because my blouse with the stripes of metallic almost remind of tinsel and just because I am getting so excited for upcoming family, friend and work Christmas parties! Tomorrow we are having a marketing group Christmas potluck and Thursday is our company’s Christmas party...
Polka Dots + Accessories = LOVE
AccessoriesI’m super excited to write my first post focusing exclusively on accessories because accessories are where I have the most fun! In fact, accessories are the glue that hold together my looks and really inspire me to try new things. Don’t get me wrong, I love the clothing itself, but I get really excited playing with the same clothing and accessorizing differently to completely make a new outfit. And now time for this accessories post’s focus… polka dots! Polka dots were another huge trend seen on the runway this year and what could be a better way to wear...
The Diva Within
OutfitsI’ve been in the “real world” for less than two years, so transitioning from class/going out outfits to work outfits has been pretty difficult. This isn’t because I don’t know how to dress professionally, but it is because sometimes I still struggle fitting my personal style into professional looks. Pairing this tunic with gold sequins with a blazer or cardigan is the perfect way to make looking professional more fun. This look is also great because with a few more details, you are ready for a night out on the town… time to let the diva out! Adding eyeliner...
New Year’s Eve Dresses Under $100
OutfitsIn my mind, it is never TOO early to start planning for a big night, especially like New Year’s Eve! New Year’s Eve is one event that I try to get a new dress for every year (which is either a great excuse to buy something new or it is necessary). Here are a few dresses under $100 that would be great for a night out.

What’s in a Job Title?
CareerI started a new position with an engineering company back in August as their official marketing copywriter. Since starting the position, I’ve learned that they have not had an official copywriter or editor in their marketing department for over five years, and my job is not only to continue generating new content for promotional materials and for the website, but to learn the company’s style and create one voice. This job truly encapsulates all of the things I love and want in a career… writing, editing, collaborating with others in marketing, sales and engineering, learning about how our products...
Take a Bow
OutfitsThere is a lot of inspiration out there right now for holiday party and event outfits, and I have gotten a lot of great ideas from other bloggers and some of my favorite fashion magazines. Typically holiday party and event wear includes dresses, skirts and sequins, all of which I love and have made certain will work into later party outfits, but for my first holiday event, I wanted to instead go for a pants look: a gold-stiched blouse with a big black bow on the front paired with black denim, black heeled boots and some sparkly accessories...
