Friday Favorites #8: Wearing and Watching & Link Up On the Edge #219
I just returned my from my biweekly counseling appointment and it became glaringly clear to me that I really have lost all joy in life’s experiences. Probably because all of the exciting experiences have been taken away during this strange and uncomfortable time. While I am not unfamiliar with feelings of ennui, the duration of this episode is quite troubling. I simply cannot snap out of it. The things that I would normally do to get back to myself are no longer available and I am struggling tremendously to find alternative things to occupy myself and get back to a place of joy. Please do not misunderstand me though, listlessness…

Meet Me at the Pumpkin Patch with Bellelily & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #190
I have another cute Bellelily tee to share today just in time for pumpkin patches and fall decorating. I wore this outfit last week on one of those early fall days that still feel like summer is holding on for something. Those kind of days present the rare opportunity for styling tall boots with a mini skirt and bare legs and still be comfortable. Disclaimer: This tee shirt was gifted to me for purposes of this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I added this Meet Me at the Pumpkin Patch T-Shirt to my recent Bellelily order and it is perfect for festive feels…

I Run On Coffee, Chaos, and Cuss Words with Bellelily
It’s a mom’s life, for sure, these days. Running on coffee, chaos, and cuss words. With school starting last week in such a different way, there is definitely more chaos than ever before. With more chaos comes the need for more coffee and more cuss words. Seriously, I have the mouth of a sailor and my kids have picked up on way too much of it. But then again, it’s all just words anyway. If I have enough coffee, I don’t get as irritable about the little things…like when my kids use cuss words. Hey, at least they use them correctly and within context. So we have that going for…

Inspired by A Blonde’s Moment: Green Summer Dress
I know everyone is getting in the mood for all the Fall stuff like sweaters and jeans, boots and jackets, football and pumpkin spice things. However, we do still have a few more weeks of summer remaining and where I live if you don’t embrace these final warm days, you’re just kind of silly. Because once the Autumn Equinox arrives here, the temperatures will drop quickly and before you know it, I will be buried in snow once again. For a very long and cold six to eight months. So before I delve deep into Fall fashion (which is my absolute favorite, by the way), I have this green summer…

Some of My Favorite Things & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #123
As I said in yesterday’s post, I have so much to say (always…I talk a lot) but nothing to share, so I am going to use today’s post to share some of my favorite things recently. Dresses with tights and boots. This look is kind of working for me lately. Mostly because it is still cool enough to wear tights and not overheat. And even more so because my left shin has come down with a bad case of eczema that is rather unsightly. (Ew). These new floral cowboy boots from Country Outfitter. I have them in gold as well and I get a million compliments every time I wear…

The Sunday Showcase: A Day Late & A History Lesson Short
When my very dear friend Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood asked me to join her and two of my other very dear blogging friends, Chrissy of Granola and Grace and Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag, as their co-host once again for their monthly link up, The Sunday Showcase, I couldn’t really say no. These three women, after all, are some of my closest blogging friends in all of the blogging realm and I will support them any chance I get just as they all support me. *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. But then I asked Ada, “Is there…

Polka Dots, Unicorns, and Link Up On the Edge #79
So you all know from my post yesterday that I am currently obsessing over all things unicorn. And you should also know by now that I have always obsessed over all things polka dotted. So today, I am going to share with you my new polka dotted dress and unicorn iPhone case as well as a little round up fun quotes. (Yes, this is my way of saying I am completely overwhelmed right now so I am cheating and giving you quotes. Sometimes you just need to give yourself a break and take the easy way out and that is perfectly okay!) *This is a sponsored post. As always, all…

A Little Post About Gratitude & Link Up On the Edge #50
Today started out to be quite dreadful. It began with a feverish and vomiting child, miserable PMS getting the best of me in every possible way, a broken toilet, and gray rainy weather. I succumbed to the misery for a brief moment (well maybe for a good 6-8 hours), but as I am writing this I have decided to change my perspective. The child is starting to feel better, nothing serious but a mild stomach bug. The toilet has been fixed by my incredible husband. The PMS and the rain are still persisting, but these things shall pass. So enough of all that nonsense, instead I want to talk about…

Sometimes It’s All About the Shoes…
But not this time. This time it’s about the shoes and the dress and just feeling fabulous. But first, I am going to talk about the shoes. These Leopard Printed Suede Stiletto Heel Pumps arrived a few weeks ago courtesy of FSJ Shoes and I was super excited to style them, but also a little scared! I haven’t worn a heel this high in years and I wasn’t even sure that I could walk in these babies. But let me tell you, once I put this outfit all together and slipped on these sleek and sexy shoes, I felt my level of sass elevate tenfold. It was pretty amazing. At…

Kitten Shoes…Meow
Some days I just want to wear my kitten shoes. And some days my kitten shoes are the most practical choice. It just depends. On this day, the cats were the only shoes that really looked right with my new clearance ($6 at Kohl’s) burgundy boot cut corduroy pants. These pants are so super soft with a fine corduroy ribbing and the color is right on trend this season. I paired my wine colored pants with a simple black cotton tunic, a pale heather gray infinity scarf, some argyle socks, and a handy dark wash denim jacket. Very simple, very basic, but with kitten shoes! You cannot argue the creativity…
