First post of 2015!! So why not show you one of my favorite pieces as of late. I don't think I have gone one week without wearing this sweater cardigan since I got it back in November. It gets the job done when you need something warm, soft, and oversized.  

I had a fun and laid back New Years with some friends. It was perfect because I wasn't feeling up to going all sequin dress, pumps, and dark lipstick (I know, I'm shocked too). I hope you all are having a great start to the new year as well!

Thanks so much for reading!!

I wanted to put together a little lookbook with some of my favorite outfits that I have done this past year because oh my goodness was 2014 a year! It was one of the craziest I can think of. I still can't wrap my mind around some of the things that have happened. I'm honestly quite speechless. God has shown me so much of Him and His provision this year; it makes me more excited to see what He will show me in 2015. 

I have to say I am a little nervous for 2015 to come upon us. So many big things are happening (*cough *cough graduation and finding what I am going to do after high school...). Ahhh, it's so exciting and terrifying at the same time!!

2014 has been the first full year I have done blogging, and wow oh wow what this experience has done for me! I honestly never thought that I would do something like this but it has really helped me in so many ways of my life. I just wanted to say thank you for following me on this adventure. It has truly been a year!

Oh and I just have to give a little shout out to my momma for helping me make this blog happen. If y'all didn't know, she's my photographer but most importantly my biggest supporter. So thank you, Mom!

I hope you all have a safe New Years filled with lots of sequins!

Cheers to 2015!!

I am actually pretty surprised at how this outfit came out. I literally threw it together with old pieces from my closet an hour before a Christmas Eve service. To me it seems very preppy, which I am normally not a fan of, but I like how it turned out. 

Sorry I was late posting this! It was rainy yesterday so I wasn't able to grab the pictures until later this afternoon.

 Thanks for reading!

Merry Christmas, my loves!!

The older I get the more I cherish this holiday. To me it's not about the peppermint, presents, or even family. It's about falling to my knees as God gave me Love, something I never should have gotten. A love so intimate that it bring even the hardest hearts to tears. That is what Christmas is to me. 

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16

T-MINUS 3 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. Where has the time gone? If you still haven't gotten all your shopping done (or if you're like me, none of it) then I have a quick little guide for everyone on your list! 

On Saturday we went into Boston to find more favorite places and well, we didn't succeed in our mission. But I got to spend a few minutes in the city and they had Christmas trees and lights up so I was good.

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday filled week so far. Thank you for reading!
