TGIF, ladies! Man o' man...it has been a LONG week! Soo glad it's Friday! OK...are you ready for a good laugh? If so, check this out! Clearly this poor guy is really ticked at us Americans! At first I thought it was a joke but he seems SO sincere.   I definitely have a new appreciation for butter after watching this craziness.  :) Haven't had enough yet? Read more about the Norwegian Butter Crisis here . ha! S/O to my friend Darragh for INSISTING that I watch this madness. … Read more

Happy Hump Day, LOVES! Today I bring you yet another pinspired OOTD from another one of my fav style bloggers, Wendy of  Wendy's Look Book . She's just so darn stylish and put together. I absolutely love her style!  I pinned this look just last week. Seriously...how fab is this coat? I'll answer for you...BEYOND FAB! I wasn't in the market for any new coats (especially since we're still seeing 70+ degree temps in Dallas!), but I had a royal blue blazer I bought from… Read more

I pinned this outfit not too long ago and loved the look so much that I immediately began a search for a midi skirt. I found this one but didn't want to spend 50 bucks for it so I put the search on a temporary hold. A couple days ago I happened to wander into a nearby thrift store and scored a bunch of cute things...2 skirts, a jacket, 2 pairs of shoes, and a necklace...for $67! Woot woot! I've never been into thrifting much before...always thought it was a tad gross to put m… Read more

One word: Anthropologie. I love Anthropologie & its modest, yet unique and vintage-y flair. Everything in that store is simply gorge. Everything. BUT with the exception of a monogrammed coffee cup or a frilly notepad, the stuff in there is SO overpriced! If I had $400 to spend on a dress I would go to Neiman's...not Anthropologie. But to each her own. Other than an end of season sale, I don't frequent Anthro very often. But I will occasionally browse the store (or online) … Read more

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies! I hope your day has gotten off to a great start! I'd love to tell you that I don't take the people and things in my life for granted. But sadly, I do sometimes. Not intentionally...but it happens. Not proud of it and I'm definitely working double time to not live as if even the next 5 minutes is promised to me.  So today I thought it was fitting to share my top 5 thanks. {5} My Career. For a career...not just a job. For the daily challenges...… Read more

Last Wednesday, I received this panicked text from my friend AshLeigh: Angela! We have our Christmas photos scheduled for Sunday. The theme is vintage...Uhhh I can't find anything for me, Kennedy, & Karsyn??? Help Ashleigh is a SAHM of 3 of the cutest little nuggets! She mentioned that she tried to do some shopping with her youngest (8-month old, Karsyn) but it was proving to be impossible. So I happily took on the challenge! She sent me a few pics that inspired this idea!  And… Read more

Today I'm linking up with the Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday ! Before I share my OOTD (outfit of the day), I have a confession to make. This is not really what I'm wearing today. This is actually what I wore to church and lunch with friends on Sunday. If I'm being 150% honest, I don't put a lot of effort into my look during the week. It's a miracle that I'm able to get out of bed at a decent hour and make it to work before mid-morning. Don't get me … Read more

I'm linking up with Marion over at Marionberry Style for the October/November  Trend of the Month Link-Up . Also linking up with Modern Modest Beauty for the Sunday Style link-up. I love boots AND leopard print....so imagine my excitement when I discovered a pair of LEOPARD WEDGE BOOTIES by Impo via Marshalls...for under $40! Seriously...I could wear these babies everyday with every single outfit...they go with EVERYTHING! They made their first appearance last night for a birthday p… Read more

Fall is my favorite season! We had a "cold front" in Dallas this weekend...the temp dropped to the low '50s, which was awesome because we normally don't see this weather until the end of October/early November. It's definitely a welcome change after enduring another summer of 90-100 degree weather. Other than the cool temps and the highly anticipated arrival of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte, my most favorite thing about fall is the fashion! I LOVE fall fashi… Read more
