Wedding: the Getting Ready

I am SO happy & grateful that my girls and I were able to get ready at my parent's house. This house will forever feel like home to me. While preparing for the actual day, I figured the morning before would busy so it was really important to me that everyone feel comfortable and everyone had a space to relax in.
Although this may sound contradictory, because there will be downtime during the "getting ready" process, the actual morning is SO busy and I’m grateful that we didn’t have to add travel time into the equation. Join me today as I share our "morning of" timeline.

5 tips on styling a tulle skirt for work

Tulle skirts are one of those items that instantly make me feel so feminine and chic. It is one of those skirts that motivates me to get stuff done at work. I’m a firm believer that the way I dress can impact my productivity. Even with lazy days at home, I make a conscious effort to opt for “comfy” clothes different from my pj’s to help ensure my body doesn’t think it’s time for a nap. So today I'm sharing my tips on how to style a tulle skirt for work. I hope these tips help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and be bold with your style!

5 quick & easy tips on how to style a tulle skirt for work: 

• Style it with chunky knits
• Pair it with flats
• Opt for minimal jewelry
• Wear your hair down
• Own it! Be bold, be YOU! 

These tips are simple ways to offset the formality of the idea behind a tulle skirt and make it more obtainable for day-to-day wear.  For starters, I love the contrast of wearing an oversized sweater giving off the impression, relaxed but polished. Additionally, flats are an easy way to dress down any look to create that modern-day, every-day girl look. The last tips are just personal preference. For example, I always feel more glamorous when I wear my hair up. It also isn't a natural look for me, so I often feel like I'm out of my comfort zone when I mix two statement pieces together. Although my last tip, it is equally important. If you are feeling it, go for it. I truly believe fashion is such a personal thing, if you love it, it will shine through while you are wearing. At the same time, if you are uncomfortable in something it shows. So with that said. GO for it! You've got this! xx.

the perfect items for transitioning into fall

Getting back to it!
I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve been on a schedule that works. I’ve probably been feeling this way since right before the beginning of summer. Every week it just seems to be that B and I are so busy, but at the same time, we have been busy in the most amazing ways. I am so grateful for all the fantastic opportunities we partake in. However; I have allowed my busy schedule to serve as an excuse to take me away from blogging and I’ve missed it.

So with that said, today’s post is all about helping to kick-start me into getting back into a routine for blogging.

Fall is FINALLY here y'all, and this girl couldn't be happier. I know that my excitement towards fall is extremely #basic, but I'm okay with it. I enjoy everything about fall. I love the crisp feeling and the chill in the air, football, the fairs, the pumpkins, the pumpkin spice lattes, it's all so good.
