Cozy Cardigan & Comfy Kicks

{2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.} I absolutely LOVE going for walks in the Fall. There is truly nothing better than going out of your way to step on a crispy leaf….

Little Red Dress

I got quite a few messages asking about this red dress and I was so excited to respond to each one because I absolutely love it and couldn’t wait to share! It is well structured yet still has a little stretch in the fabric making it so incredibly comfortable. Big fan of the sleeves! Another perfect…

Celebrating the 100th Post

Romans 12:12 says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” I can’t think of a more fitting verse for my 100th post! As you might recall from previous posts, I’ve mentioned that I started this blog when I was a bit down, going through some tough times. I wanted an outlet, a space to write and a place to put my many thoughts. Since the beginning, this blog has surpassed all expectations. Not only has it had the opportunity to reach many, it has…

Four Dolla Holla HAHAH

You guys! I found this sweater for just $4.00 at Loft! Can you believe that?! I promise it’s even cuter in person, the pictures really don’t do it complete justice. Not only is it cute but it is so so cozy. I absolutely love it! I hope you can see the earrings I attempted to show off in one of the pictures above because I have been wearing them repeatedly since they arrived in my set from Rocksbox!

Wine Wednesday + Long Sleeve Maxis

This morning I was watching the news like I usually do and during a commercial break a little segment of the Ellen Degeneres show came on. All I caught was Ellen Degeneres saying something along the lines of: Happy Wine Wednesday and Happy Hump day… It’s no coincidence that they…

Cherish The Present

You guys! Amazing book alert! I am currently reading Present Over Perfect written by Shauna Niequist and though I am not far along, I can tell you right now that I am so incredibly grateful for the message she has so beautifully written. Perhaps you’re wondering what it means to be present over perfect. The title is powerful and I know it certainly had me wondering. In her own…

My Lighthouse

It’s no secret that I love a pretty lighthouse so perhaps the mystery lies in the why I like them so much. It wasn’t until recently that I even found out for myself! Being a Michigan girl I’ve always loved the lake but over the course of the past few years, I’ve found an incredible sense of peace there…

Whimsical By The Water

I do not have enough words to tell you how much fun I had frolicking on the beach with this kite and my two good friends. We stumbled upon the most beautiful day in Holland, Michigan (my favorite place) and took full advantage spending most all of it outside. The tassels on my dress were perfectly whimsical for the windy day and the red color was even better as this was likely my last trip the the Big Red lighthouse for the summer. This dress was…

Monday Maxi

I tend to wear my sunnies on and off and truthfully, more times than not, prefer to go without! They usually end up on top of my head and occasionally I put them on my eyes. With that said, be prepared to only be seeing sunnies for a little while! Last Thursday I woke up with what I thought were terrible allergies. When I looked in the mirror it occurred to me that I had a lot bigger problem than just some allergies! My eyes had swelled to the point of barely being able to see. I looked SO SCARY and honestly, really funny. I wish I was brave enough to share the picture because it really is worth a good laugh. As it turns out, I had pink eye in both eyes. Super unfortunate. I’m no longer contagious and I feel fine but my eyes are weirdly still a bit swollen. So anyways, if anyone is looking for an amazing pair of sunglasses (to hide pink eye or simply to just wear), click the link up top because I absolutely love the ones I am wearing from Tory Burch…
