What to Wear to a College Basketball Game: Kentucky for Kentucky

December 4, 2017

Okay, so I know I said last week was the end of fall posts, but I found these photos on my computer and realized I forgot to share this post! It does fit into the holiday theme {kind of} because I’m talking about a local small business that has some great gift options for the Kentuckian and/or the Southerner in your life. Kentucky for Kentucky started to tell the world how much the beloved Commonwealth rocks and also creates a ton of original gear.

I was lucky enough to snag this B’ALL tee just in time for my favorite season: basketball season! I’m sharing two ways to wear your favorite school spirited tee to take in college hoops.

Friday Favorites: First December Weekend Holiday Prep

December 1, 2017

What a week! Like any week right after a long holiday weekend, I was on the struggle bus for the first half.  Luckily, I’m feeling ready to tackle this first December weekend and get my holly jolly on.

First December Weekend | What Made My Week:

  • A Kentucky basketball win to end the weekend on a good note.  After my traditional Sunday family dinner, I got to cheer on the Cats and lounge around.
  • I got a PR package from CND with some of their Vinylux Weekly Polish.  I’m a big OPI fan so I’m excited to try it out and compare their system to the Infinite Shine polishes that I wear a lot.
  • Sorority reports are all in! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah indeed.  Between Thanksgiving break and the finals grind, advising life gets tough; I’m super lucky to advise a chapter alongside great women who have my back and keep me sane.
  • Jack the Siberian Husky.  Y’all, I about died reading this story! This poor Siberian Husky is up for adoption in Pennsylvania but has been banned from the state of Maryland.  It made me think of my childhood dog, Rufus, who was also a bit of a troublemaker. {But so cute!}
  • Sawyer Bennett releasing a new Cold Fury novel!  Not long after we first met, Tif and I bonded over our mutual love for romance novels and figured out that we both read this series.  I stayed up {way too} late Wednesday night finishing Van.
  • BONUS: It’s December First which means I get to start my David’s Tea advent calendar!  My friend Michelle surprised me with it because she knows I’m an old lady that LOVES to drink tea.

Velvet and Pearls for All the Girls + Combatting Holiday Blues

November 29, 2017

If there’s one trend you should greet with open arms this season, let it be velvet everything. I had a few velvet Christmas dresses growing up so it feels like a full circle moment to see it make such a big comeback. It only seemed right to snag this bodysuit as it combines some of the hottest trends right now: velvet, kimonos, and bodysuits. The pearl button detail adds a fun embellishment that can be dressed up or down too. I’m also discussing holiday blues and some ways to deal with the overwhelming feelings that often pop up this time of year.

End of Fall Florals & my Favorite Cyber Monday Deals

November 27, 2017

The countdown to Christmas has begun! But before we start, I wanted to share one more fall outfit!  These fall florals have been on repeat.  I wasn’t sure how I felt about the kimono trend on me, but ended up trying this one on during an event early in the season.  It’s so easy to throw on over a basic tee with jeans and really pulls an outfit together.  Also keep reading to see some of my favorite Cyber Monday offers.
