Jumping Into the New Year
With the coming of the new year so many people are ready for a fresh start. I have never been one to let an arbitrary date on the calendar influence my desire for self-improvement. For me, every day is a gift of a new opportunity to do better than the day before. To learn more, give more, show more kindness and gratitude. Oftentimes, it is the beginning of Autumn that triggers me to reevaluate my life and my goals and it was around that time that I began making lots of changes with regard to healthier lifestyle habits.

Casual Holiday Outfit with Foxcroft & Link Up On the Edge #125
Back in October, I had won a giveaway hosted by one of my favorite style icons, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun, and the prize was a $250 shopping spree from Foxcroft. I quickly added 5 gorgeous pieces to my shopping list and received them early in November.

The Must-Have Mittens of Winter & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #54
Are you all getting tired of me telling you how cold it is outside yet? Or are you just plain old tired of being cold this winter? In an attempt to keep as warm as possible, I have been adding layer upon layer of clothing. But accessories also play an important role both in maintaining some sense of style through the long winter months and for practical purposes like keeping you warm. Just yesterday, I shared 5 Reasons to Wear a Hat this Winter and last week, I talked all about Winter Style with blanket scarves. However, the one thing I never leave the house without in the winter is…

A Beautiful Paradox: Graffiti & Lace with Rosegal
There is just something about paradox that draws me in. It creates an aesthetic appeal in the sartorial realm. It forms the basis of irony in the lingual world. Two of my favorite areas combined in my blog space…fashion and words. *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Lace extender: Mesh Floral Mini Plus Size Lace Extender Skirt c/o Rosegal. I have long been fascinated by the combination of feminine lace details combined with the edgier feel of distressed denim. And there is something about white lace that radiates purity and innocence. But juxtapose it with the toughness implied by ripped jeans…
