Ditch the heels and work the sneakers!

With the job I have I am often climbing ladders, carrying heavy objects, and running all over the place. With that being said... heels are not very realistic for my day-to-day routine. So, I have to get creative with my shoe choices and as of right now I only have flats. Now I am looking into a few pairs of converse. Therefore, I am making this post all about making sneakers look cute for work, life, and maybe even a date night. The following are photos I used for inspiration to put together my own sneaker looks. Who says you can't look cute and be comfortable? Not me!

Feeling a Little bit COUNTRY


Lately, I have contracted a little country itch and absolutely love it! I find myself listening to the music, loving the influence in interior design and most of all the influence in fashion. With all of the chambray looks and denim on denim making a come back, I couldn't help but do a country western post.

I have always loved a relaxed look and love to wear a plaid shirt, denim, and boots. But then again I like to dress up quite a bit too. So... a fun dress or skirt with chambray or denim is another look I like to default to as well. The country western look is an easy look to pull off and can also be updated so it doesn't feel too dated and authentic. Try making your own look and updating it yourself. You might find it to be fun and it is always fun to update your wardrobe. At least I think so!

Enjoy some of my favorite country western looks. These looks are feminine and flirty with the western edge that gives them their country appeal.

Accessorize it!

Anyone in fashion will tell you that accessories can make or break an outfit. Well... I love accessories and I thought I might share some of my favorite accessory trends that are popular right now. I tend to be drawn to statement pieces and also very dainty pieces. I love gold and silver and I am not opposed to mixing metals.

I will include some great accessories I found and some accessories of my own. What are some of your favorite accessories? Try something new! Be bold or go simple, but whatever you do accessorize right!

Feeling a little PINK

A few months ago I decided that I needed something new and fun in my life. To make that happen I put a little pink in my hair and loved it so much that I decided to do it again.

Here are a few pictures of the different styles that I have tried since re-doing the pink. I also included a few photos that inspired my pink hair do. I hope you enjoy!
