Recent Mini Travels

 Hello, lovelies! How has everyone been? It feels like I have been so busy lately and like time is flying by! With this being the case, it has been difficult to find the time for relaxation and self-care. I consider self-care to be extremely important, so it's definitely something I try to make time for when I am able.

Stylish Summer Dresses

Hello, lovelies! Today I have put together a couple lists of some of the cutest dresses to wear during summer! I shared these selections (and more!) on my LIKEtoKNOW.it account , so definitely check me out and follow me there if you'd like to see more content like this! Without further rambling, onto the dresses:

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! 

Mother's Day Gift Guide Part Two

 I know, I know - another gift guide? I can't help it! I love searching up recommendations to add to gift guides, and, with Mother's Day coming up this weekend (Sunday, May 9, 2021!), I just had to add an additional list for anyone who may still need to find a present before the holiday approaches. All of the below items are pieces that I would love myself, so I hope you find them interesting. Also - every item is under $75!

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!

Mother's Day 2021 Gift Ideas

 With the month of May right around the corner, that means that Mother's Day is quickly approaching, as well! I have a really positive relationship with my mom, so I love spoiling her on her birthday and other holidays. I have something very sentimental planned for her June birthday, but I am still kicking around gift ideas for Mother's Day.

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.
