            Halloween is right around the corner once again. As a child Halloween was such a fun holiday that I celebrated with my family and all the kids on my street. If it was on a weekday our school day would be filled with Halloween crafts and activities and then we would come home and start getting ready for the evening. We would all wait until dusk and meet at our house to take pictures in the front yard. October is one of my favorites because the majority of the time you walk outside and...

        It is that time of the year again, my favorite time for fashion and weather. It is officially Fall and even though the midwest was behind on this memo, we made it. Like seriously why was it 90 degrees days before the first day of Fall in Missouri?! It is now the time for oversized sweaters, leggings, boots, and scarves. Layering is ideal for Fall which means you can wear more of your favorite pieces at once. The color scheme for this time of year is absolutely beautiful and includes but isn't limited to, maroon, olive green, tan, navy,...

    I have always wanted to go to California but never thought it was going to happen. To be honest I still think it was a surreal moment and was a figment of my imagination. This was a fun trip that I took with my little sister for a girls trip.

    The Fourth of July is less than a week away?! I'm not sure where June went, but it seems like I blinked my eyes and it was over.  Does anyone else feel this way? Now I'm looking forward to bbq, pool parties, and fireworks. I'm not the biggest fan of fireworks but they are pretty to look at, I just keep my distance. Just like any other holiday I'm contemplating my outfit for days prior to the event. Fourth of July luckily has a color scheme that I have to stay with so that narrows down my options quite a...

        The pattern that is making a comeback! The big trend for summer 2018 is gingham and I am here for it. I have been seeing this pattern across the internet from swimsuits to dresses to shoes. My sister (pictured above) found her high school graduation dress in this pattern and looked super adorable in it. I never thought I would want a piece of clothing with that pattern, but I was wrong. My family went out shopping for Mother's Day and I found myself a dress that I fell in love with. It was a t-shirt style dress,...
