Back to Black

I hope you're all doing well on this dreary January morning. Has this not been the longest month ever? It feels like it will never end, and I don't know about you, but we've been having some not-so-lovely weather! Instead of crisp, frosty mornings, we've been having soggy grey ones.

Because of the less than cheerful weather and this never-ending month after the holiday season, I know many of you, like me, is getting a bit bored or feeling uninspired when it comes to your wardrobe. You've probably even resulted to wearing black everyday, which, while easy, can also be quite unexciting. Not to fear though, I'm challenging you to reinvent the way we all wear black.

(My friend from high school, Miranda Meyers took these amazing shots for me, and they're honestly some of my favorites to date. We had so much fun creating these photos and chatting all afternoon! I've been wanting to work with her for ages now. Head over to her blog and instagram and give her amazing work some love.)

Benefits of the Blogging Community

Today I've collaborated with some new fashion blogger friends of mine to talk about how lovely and supportive the blogging community is for an extra weekly post! Hannah and Sabrina, of Ensemble of Elan, and I recently came together for a photoshoot and just to chat about blogging and the like. Below we've each given our little two-cents on blogging that leads to friendships, networking, and community building.

My Mini Guide to Cyber Monday

Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving filled with great friends and great food! You've probably already gotten your shop on in -store, but Cyber Monday is nearly upon us, and that means you need to charge up your laptop and put those fast fingers to good use! Below I've compiled some of my most favorite deals, some of my top picks, and some quick tips on nailing Cyber Monday!

Hi Fall/Winter 2017 Trends

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I am completely loving this cool fall weather, which in my book means drinking hot tea, stepping on crunchy leaves, and wearing all the cool weather appropriate items!

In true form, I have compiled the definitive list of pieces you need in your Fall 2017 wardrobe.

Fall #OOTD

How are you all doing on this cool Sunday morning? I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather as much as I am! (I honestly couldn't stop smiling the first day it was under 60 degrees haha...I'm such a cold-weather person!)

Today, I just wanted to share with you a fall outfit that I'm loving right now! I was inspired to pick up this pinafore dress from Topshop, by my all-time-inspiration, Megan Ellaby (check her out if you haven't already. She's a dream!). The rest of the outfit fell together from there.

How To Accessorize Like a Fashion Blogger

This fall I've been experimenting with different types of accessories and how to style them successfully. Although I'm quite a minimalist when it comes to accessories, I do like to add touches here and there. After researching how all of the most fashionable of fashion bloggers are styling their accessories, I've come up with my tips for successfully embellishing without going overboard!

Making the 80s Modern

How are you on this lovely Sunday? This week I wanted you talk about one of the eras I've been incorporating into my wardrobe a lot recently....Can you guess what it is?

Yes, it's the 80s! Below are some of my favorite 80s-type trends that you should definitely be incorporating into your modern wardrobe.

Spiced Up Outfit of the Day

How has your weekend been? I hope it's been great and comment below what you've been up to. Last week I talked about some of the most inspiring women in my life, so if you haven't read that yet, check it out here! This week I wanted to talk about one of my favorite outfits right now and why I think it works.

Transition into Fall: Stripes & Rose Gold

How are you all doing on this lovely Friday? I just wanted to say thanks for all the love on my Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube recently! I wish I could thank each everyone of you every time...but that might take a while. Nevertheless, I just wanted to say thanks for being so sweet and supportive!

As you may have noticed, this was posted on a Friday rather than my usual Sunday! Shock! Horror! I am just trying out some new posting days to see which you like better. (There will also hopefully be a beauty post up the usual time on Sunday.)

Now that all that housekeeping is out of the way, onto this week's post. As the mornings are getting crisper and the sun is setting just a bit sooner, I've decided to talk you through this transitional outfit and how you can start transitioning into your fall wardrobe as well.

How to Stress Less

How are you all doing? Leave a comment down below, because I'd love to chat with you and see how things are going with you!

One thing that has really been a big factor in my life lately is stress! While is can sometimes push us to reach our goals, stress can be very consuming, especially to me. I consider myself to be a bit of an anxious worry-wart, but I have been trying out some new mechanisms, to help me enjoy life in the moment and stress just a little less.
