Fashion Friday {Fall is here.. oh wait nevermind}

 I know it might still be above 80 degrees almost everywhere I look. But I figured I would start getting these fall looks out so that everyone can pretend its nice and cozy. Even maybe prepare themselves a little for things they might like to get for fall. I hope I pretended well enough for you to believe I was cold. Because I was the complete opposite. This dress I found on clearance. I love a good deal. I was unsure for awhile but it's really a comfortable sweater material.

If you read our news a few weeks ago. We will be moving to Colorado very soon so I'm preparing myself for snow again. I haven't lived in a cold climate in almost 5 years now. We shall see if I can adapt again. If you have some cool places to explore in the Boulder area please reach out in the comments. I like to plan ahead. I want to start a bucket list so I can hit the ground running. 

Fashion Friday {Summer Daze}

Summer is officially no more! We've all gotten used to our new normal now. Well, almost there's more things starting this month and it's looking like it's going to be just as crazy as this month.
Starting us off is Hurricane Dorian.
We got a mandatory evacuation early this week. So we decided to take advantage and go visit family before we move. It was also a chance to give them a bunch of stuff that we didn't want anymore so we could start the PCS purge. We do it before every move. You get rid of junk, you have yard sales and you trash a bunch of stuff. The month of September is filling up with visitors, school activities, performances, etc. The PCS countdown begins now. It's going to be hard to leave this place!
Hope everyone has been staying safe during the hurricane and there is no damage.
Hopefully our last hurricane before we move on to the next place .

Fashion Friday {Casual Bohemian}

I'm already in vacation mode. School is out in just a few more days and I'm already relaxing and hanging out in my most comfortable pants. I'm letting my hair go natural like a true bohemian ( I suppose). It's the "I don't care" kind of vibe that I'm really into these days. 

I'm right in the middle of planning our summer vacation plans. It's nice being so close to Florida and the beach and theme parks. We are trying to take advantage of all that while we are still in Georgia. You never know when the military is going to move you. It's just about that time of year too. 

I still have to do a big Disneyworld trip with the kids and go to all the parks. Definitely do Universal Studios again a couple more times. We are big Harry Potter nerds. 

We are playing around with ideas on where to stay. Hotel, RV, or a vacation rental. There's so many options. What are your plans for the summer?

Fashion Friday {Rainbow Row}

There's a storm coming through this lovely Easter weekend and I figured we need a little sunshine. 

We recently went to Charleston for a little day trip and made plans to stop and see Rainbow row. Which is a series of thirteen colorful historic houses in Charleston, South Carolina. It represents the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in the United States.

Which was perfect to shoot this colorful jumpsuit. It's perfect for spring and perfect for Easter. 

I don't know about you but Easter just came up really fast. It's already this Sunday and I don't even have Easter baskets ready. Don't you hate when that happens. I'm usually much better than this but I've been planning a big birthday and coordinating a lot of April plans. 

WOW ! Look at me every post seems to be me complaining about how I can't get my act together with planning things or organizing. 

I will do better next time! 

Have a great Easter weekend!

 

Fashion Friday

As promised I was going to be writing more and blogging more. I got a lot of things in the works that I'm excited to share with you! A lot of DIY Projects, a home tour, travel and of course more fashion. It feels good to get my motivation back. I just got to get those creative juices flowing again. I thought that I got my amazing multi-tasking brain back after Caleb. He's four years old now and It's not quite there yet. 

What type of things do you want me to blog about? It's been over a year since I did a DIY post I believe. Even longer since I did a home tour. That's what is great about being a military spouse. Every new house we move into is a new clean slate for me to work on. As the years go by though I've become more indecisive. I might blame that on pinterest. There are way more options for inspiration now that it's overwhelming. 

Now I am focusing on the inexpensive things which is more achievable to me now. I'm sure it would be to you as well. I hope you continue to check back in with me on all that.

til then...

Happy Friday!

Fashion Friday {High Hopes}

As promised I am back with something to talk about. This blog started out as an outlet for my fashion creativity, DIY, home decor. Basically all about my life. It's a place where no rules apply. I can write about whatever I want and it's out there for the world to see. I've gone from simple fashion posts, travel posts, my musical journey. I've even written posts about being a cancer survivor, grief, infant loss etc. I'm all over the place but that's the case with any real friendship right? You take the heavy with the light. You have fun but then you are there to hold your friends hand. 

I bet you are guessing what kind of post you are going to get today?

This is a get to know me post actually. Just a simple post about life and dreams. I hope you can bear with me.

Have you always known what you wanted to do with your life? Did you find your passions at a young age? Did you stumble upon them as you went through life? 

I have had many passions and dreams. 

I was told that I once wanted to be a violinist. I'm not sure I remember that one very well. 

I feel like from birth though music was coursing through my veins. I was deeply affected by music. I even remember writing my first songs in Kindergarten. Cheesy little love songs because I was a boy crazy little girl. I will admit that! I even remember in elementary school going to the backyard and sitting in the sun with my little artistic hat on that I got from my great-grandma. I would write notebooks full of songs, poems, and stories. Deep down I always knew what I was destined to be. I feel like maybe I lacked the over the top encouragement that I desperately needed. But all in God's timing right? 

Then came fashion. I would sit with my colored pencils and design outfits. I played with the idea of going to design school. Honestly, I can't draw at all! Another thing I have no problem admitting. 

I was even called the fashion police by my parents. That eventually evolved into what you see today and I was able to make all my fashion dreams come true by being a fashion blogger. 

The moral of the story here is don't give up on your dreams and your passions. There will always be an outlet in some form for you to use them or fulfill them. We are living in an interesting and exciting time. You should always do something you are passionate about whether its a career or a hobby. 

I hope you find this inspiring! 

Happy Friday

Fashion Friday

I'm back after taking a little break to enjoy my release party, birthday and Valentine's day weekend. It was nice to kind of unplug for a little while and experience life. So now I'm back again another year older not sure about being wiser though. I've learned about patience this last year and about perfect timing. Simple things to learn but so very important. I'm continuously learning to be comfortable in my own skin. Clinging to this who build me up and staying away from the ones who tear me down. 

Well look at that I did learn some things. Maybe I am wiser in my "older" age. 

I hope you guys are out there learning some great life lessons too!

Happy Friday!

Fashion Friday: We survived

This week was a crazy couple of weeks. My husband came home from deployment so we've been just stepping back from the world to be a family again. Readjusting to family life again is such a weird thing after being apart for so long. You get used to living that single parent life. You develop a new routine. Only to have to jump back into how it was before they were gone. You can check out my deployment survival checklist here. 
I have to be honest it worked for me only during the school year. The summer was hard doing it on my own with the kids. My little man is a bit wild and I definitely needed another set of hands and eyes for both kids. Good news though we did in fact survive this deployment.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Friday!
