When we originally moved into our house, everything was a flat beige color. I thought the color looked a little yellow, and with a big shepherd dog, it was impossible to keep clean. About a quarter up the wall, there would be dirt streaks from her rubbing up against it. If you've ever had flat … Continue reading Fireplace styling with strip lights and removable wallpaper

Obsessed with this shirt
I am obsessed with this shirt from Vineyard Vines. It has a nice quality thickness, great cut, and I love the green and white stripes. I just got it in last week, and have already worn it a couple times. No pictures of me in it because I'm getting over the fly, but the photos … Continue reading Obsessed with this shirt
Literally, the 3 easiest ways to wear a scarf
I love scarves and I love estate sales. What do those two things have in common? You can almost always find beautiful scarves at an estate sale! I found my favorite Laura Ashley scarf at an estate sale down the street. I think it was $1, may have been less because they are always available … Continue reading Literally, the 3 easiest ways to wear a scarf

I knew I didn't want to spend … Continue reading Flattering Walmart swimsuits
Jungle summer style
I am in love with the Hollywood jungle style, not bright colored prints, but "I'm going into the jungle" style (Hollywood's interpretation at least). It always consists of a tank top, button down shirt (with rolled up sleeves), and khakis shorts. I'm not going to lie, I wear this combination a lot. When I was … Continue reading Jungle summer style

R.I.P aviators. I am looking to replace my sunglasses, which have been beat up to high heaven. I'm talking so scratched that I can hardly see through them. I bought my current pair of Ray-Bans 5 years ago to replace my Ray-Ban Aviators which I was obsessed with but the nose piece finally broke off … Continue reading Sunnies, Shades, Sunglasses

It looks more professional than the gray default picture, and it helps get to know people for when we do meet in person, you'll have an idea of who they are. I didn't have a good photo that I felt was … Continue reading Taking a professional profile picture
