You Say Goodbye & I Say Yellow to Kimonos

We’ve reached that point of spring where some days it feels like spring and some days it feels like summer. My fix? Say yellow to kimonos! Finding fun and lightweight layers is key this time of year. I recently went to Gordmans and was able to pick up some new pieces that I’ll be able to wear now and later.

Yellow From the Other Side: On Privacy

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about privacy. Despite the fact that I put a lot of my life out there between my blog and social media, I’m somewhat old fashioned when it comes to keeping my cards close to the chest so to speak. I think most people that know me on a personal level would categorize my personality as more guarded; I don’t think one way is wrong but thought it might be kind of neat to talk about why I’m careful about what details I give out. As an added bonus, I’m sharing all the details on Dress & Dwell’s new pop up shop here in Louisville!

BTW, I’m hosting a fun giveaway on my Instagram story {ends around 9:15 PM eastern on April 9th} for an Urban Decay Naked palette, 2 Vice lipsticks, a NYX Cosmetics Wonderstick and NYX butter gloss!
