Choose Joy

In a season that makes fear seem like the easiest response, I’m doing my best to focus on joy…and no, it’s not always easy. There have been so many blessings and silver linings amongst all of the junk that this year has brought, we just have to make the deliberate decision to focus on those. […]

Christmas Home Tour

I’m not sure that I’ve ever posted a holiday tour prior to now, and I’m not sure why. If for nothing else, this is going to prove helpful to me in years to come as I pull out my decorations each year and do my best to recall what I had previously done! Granted, I […]

Holiday Gift Guide: For Her

It’s hard to believe that we are less than a week from Thanksgiving and that the holiday season is right on its heels! I’ve been breaking out my Christmas decor this week and I absolutely love the warm, cozy vibe that it brings. There simply cannot be enough soft, twinkling lights! In an effort to […]

Cheerful Outerwear

I have my fair share of navy, camel and grey coats, but I also have a growing selection of colorful outerwear to choose from. It honestly doesn’t feel that out of the ordinary, but you wouldn’t believe the amount of compliments I receive when I pull out my purple or green or pink coat! Muted […]

Holiday Style: Three Tops / Nine Looks

This year’s holiday celebrations are going to look a little different than they typically do for many of us. When I took a poll online, the majority of the reponses said they’d be looking for laid back holiday looks. To some, that may mean flannel pj’s and to others that could mean jeans and a […]
