I Got (Fake) Married: Louisville’s Best Wedding Venue

Y’all I always imagined I’d only be a bride once…but then The Pointe reached out and I got fake married at the end of the year.  Modeling for a wedding styled shoot seemed a bit nerve-racking but the photos are seriously stunning.  Excited to give ALL the wedding inspiration to you today.  Dreamed about having your pooch at your big day?  This post will give you all the dog mom feels.

Naked Reloaded New Easy Eyeshadow with Urban Decay

I’ve made no secret about it; I love Urban Decay.  The OG Naked palette was the first “expensive” makeup I purchased with my own money.  Everyone’s favorite eyeshadow palette was my go to for girls nights, first dates, etc.  When Urban Decay announced they’d be discontinuing the original Naked palette, I felt some type of way.  Luckily they’re launching Naked Reloaded as a new addition to the Naked makeup family.

Gordmans is one of my favorite stores to shop at because I love a good deal and they usually have some of the brands I love for less than retail.  While shopping there is always a treasure hunt, I did go to the store with a couple items on my list — like this leopard teddy coat!  This has been one of the HOT clothing pieces this winter so I went to my local Gordmans knowing that I was on the lookout for one.
