Sunday best

A good dose of Jesus on Sunday morning is just plain good for the soul. I'm very thankful to have been introduced to and able to attend Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL.

Let us be willing and intentional will all we do, always acknowledge our own God given gifts.
They will know is by our love and how we live for Him.
God has given us so many blessings, including the ability to share ours with others.
I am one lucky child of God...

My church outfit that almost always turns into a chapter outfit when layered with a long cardigan.

You can find the dress at Forever 21, and who woulda thought that these taupe wedge booties I love so much would be a cheap find from Charlotte Rousse.
They go with almost everything!
Stay tuned and I'm sure they'll man an appearance in a few more posts.

P.S. Shoutout to my sister Erin for lending me the dress :)

what a good day looks like

I have recently discovered my love for fitness. There is nothing better than feeling healthy, especially after a good workout or sweat session.  In the fashion industry it is too easy to get distracted with sizes and numbers instead of appreciating how the clothes fit and how you feel in your own skin.  This is an ongoing battle for so many people, including myself.

Life is all about balance. Everything in moderation. A great and balanced day for me includes some sort of physical activity and something that makes my tummy happy. I am so tired of being sad by girls who count every calorie and "punish" themselves in various ways when they stray from their diets. 

Here is my moderation. People, I am here to encourage you to push yourself. Get active! Your heart will thank you, and then you get to treat yourself, guilt-free!

white after Labor Day

I have a hard time following this fashion rule...I am a firm believer in "if you like it, wear it". There is no need to worry about what society is going to say about the color of your top or the length of your cuffed jean. 

Freak what ya feel. This weekend I was feeling my favorite 3/4 sleeved dress that jut so happened to be white. But mostly because it went great with my brand new Dolce Vita booties. 

Fall is here and fall is fun...fashion "rules" are not. 

intern life

My absolute favorite part about working with the Birmingham Music Club...dressing up for the big events!

Found this 5 year old red dress from Urban Outfitters when I went home last weekend. Paired with my brand new fall sweater from Tilly's and my fancy booties. 

Able to run around completing tasks like a crazy person while still looking decent.

here it goes...

Trying to pursue this passion of mine and achieve the goals I've been talking about since middle school.

Bear with me as I post occasional selfies...I want to encourage whatever style I've got in me. 

This picture is also a shoutout to my wonderful sister...

"Rare is the day I do not think about you."

Michelle sent me a sweet note and an even sweeter tank: nap team captain. 

Surprise gifts like this are way too fun.
