Hair Accessories That Elevate Simple Styles

Hello, lovelies! How is everyone? I hope you are all having a beautiful day so far! It is morning where I am and it feels so nice outside. It is a bit atypical for spring/summer based on my location, but I'll take the brief change from hot and muggy weather today!

 Hello, lovelies! Recently, the weather has slowly been getting crisper and chillier in my area. I've been so ready for the seasons to shift, so this is a welcome change. It's been so nice to dress for fall/winter and for the weather to actually match the fashion!

Art & The Power Of Flowers

 Hello, lovelies! I can't believe I have been absent from blogging for almost a month! Life has been getting busier and busier, especially as summer comes to a close. Although, I have to say, I am definitely craving a chilly autumn evening all cozied up with a good book, some candles, and my pet cat, Percy. I've always loved the autumn season the most, so I'm super ready for its arrival. 

Beach Day Essentials: Style Ideas

 Hello, lovelies! How has everyone been? Personally, I have been fairly busy recently with work and family life. It seems like there is always so much to get done and so little time to complete everything. All this hustling and bustling around has definitely made me yearn for a break, particularly a beach day! I have always loved living near the shore, and have felt connected to the ocean my whole life. I always feel so peaceful and in touch with nature when I'm there, and the beach is definitely my happy place.

Recent Adventures & Catching Up

 Hello, lovelies! I apologize for the recent delay in posting - life has been so hectic! I recently completed my capstone/dissertation presentation for graduate school, and, needless to say, I had to devote a lot of time to making sure that I had all of the information correct for that. The good news, though? I PASSED! I will be completing my graduate program and will graduate with my master's degree in early June of this year! I am so grateful and relieved! It's been a long time coming and I am happy to be done.

Vintage Market Days 2021

 Hello, lovelies! This weekend has been so peaceful, which is something that I can admit I've needed for a while now. Sometimes life moves so very quickly and time seems to fly. So, when the opportunity arises to take a breather, it can feel very refreshing. 

Wedding Guest Adventures

 Hello, lovelies! Last week, I took a trip out of state to attend a wedding in Alabama. It has been several years since I had been there, so it was interesting to go back and see how things have changed since I last visited. During my time there, I was able to venture out into the city and explore the area. I was able to go to a National History & Botanical Gardens Museum which was so pretty and unique! 

Linen Dresses For Spring 2021

 

With spring in bloom and summer approaching, I think now is a perfect time to pull out the linen clothing! There's so many options for linen, but I have to say that I'm fairly partial to a good linen dress. To me, there's just something about a lightweight, linen dress that give me all the spring/summer vibes. Whether you are checking out a local market, walking along the beach, or frolicking through a field of flowers, a linen dress is a stylish yet classic choice! 

Spring Adventures

Good Morning, lovelies! I hope you are all doing well. I had such a lovely day yesterday, especially because it is springtime where I am now and I can wear summer dresses again. The dress featured in this post is from Pink Lily and I am obsessed with it! From the lightweight material to the pattern and how it moves, it's definitely a great staple for spring and summer. Pink Lily carries this dress in sizes XS-2XL and it's a big YES from me!

Career-Minded Styles and Suggestions (Under $40!)

I have had a love/hate relationship with workplace styles for the longest time. Sometimes I feel that the dress code requirements of many workplaces can be very limiting, and that it almost puts a damper on my sense of style. Other times, I feel a sense of power from dressing in a more professional and elegant manner. This seems to be quite the dichotomy that I have been experiencing since, well, I started working.

Who else is ready for spring weather? This winter has definitely been a wild one with bitter weather across most the USA. I know I can't be the only one who is eagerly awaiting warmer temperatures and freshly bloomed flowers!
