What I Wore for Christmas

Fashion•Outfits

Happy Tuesday friends! Wow, sorry I didn’t get a chance to wish you a Merry Christmas – so here it is a little late! Better late than never, right? I had the most relaxing Christmas and enjoyed the time spent with my family, boyfriend and Ms. Emma of course. I took Emma with me on Tuesday night and my boyfriend came down to Iowa on Christmas Eve, picking up my grandma along the way. Just as they arrived, the most beautiful snow began to fall. It continued through the time we went to Mass and opened gifts that night. It...

Holiday Party Style with H&M

Fashion•Holidays•Outfits

December is upon us, which means I have officially entered into full holiday mode – non-stop Christmas music, sparkling lights galore and getting ready for festivities ranging from work parties to holiday events with friends and family. While the joy and the cheer of the season is certainly delightful, one of the most exciting parts about the holiday season is being able to plan what I’m wearing for holiday parties! I always start by focusing my party outfit around shades of red or green, and then add details like sparkly jewels, textures and a fabulous pair of heels. H&M...

Floral Ruffle Blouse + White Skater Skirt

Fashion•Outfits

Any time I’m asked how I define my style (which really isn’t often, but hey it has come up a few times), I always tell people I like to extremely feminine or edgy and sometimes a mix of both. This outfit clearly falls under the extremely feminine category, as I paired this blue and pink floral ruffle blouse and pair it with my favorite skater skirt. I also paired this gorgeous Sira & Mara necklace with it to give it just a little bit of edge. Of course, anytime I wear this skirt I feel like it is “my...

Flirty Skirts

4th of July Outfit

Outfits

Every 4th of July, I try to put together a new red, white and blue outfit with pieces I already own in my closet. I seem to own a lot of different items in these colors, or variations, so it is really fun! (See other red, white and blue outfits here, here, here and here). This year I wanted to make my Asos skater skirt the certain of attention. This white skirt has been a new favorite in my closet and I always want to wear it (previously seen here and here).  Along with my old cutout striped top...

It Finally Feels like Spring

Outfits

Yesterday was probably the first day it finally felt like spring to me. It got up to 50, the sun was out just long enough to put a smile on my face and I was more productive than I’ve been in months on a Sunday. I worked out, got groceries, made lunch and then threw dinner on in the crock pot, did a load of laundry and showered (YAY!) When I was getting ready I was in such a good mood, I just felt like wearing something that really reflected how I was feeling. No, I didn’t really have...
