Indian Summer




Jacket-Torrid (super old), dress Macy's, Sunglasses-Gap, Shoes-Payless, Bracelets- Etsy, David Yurman, Watch-Micheal  Kors 


I wish, I wish, I wish it would get cool here, but alas it hasn't. Last week it dropped down to 55 and everyone got excited! Yep, that didn't last long. Truth be told I am dreaming of tights, boots and good old fashion turtlenecks. I still have the pleasure of layering my summer dresses and wearing sandals until we get some cooperative weather. Hopefully by the end of October I can share some of my favorite fall looks for you!

J'adore: Stella & Dot









I am a sucker for pretty, shiny bobbles. Necklaces, rings, bracelets all of them make me giddy. My lovely friend Michelle has introduced me to my latest bobble addiction, Stella & Dot. Around the blogespher, I had heard others mention Stella & Dot, but I had never seen it or tried any of the items. After going to Michelle's party I was hooked!

Normally I am hesitant to try jewelry at parties because it sometimes doesn't fit. The bracelets squeeze the life out of you, the necklaces are too tight or not long enough, the list goes on and on. I was pleasantly surprised with  this jewelry. The necklaces gave ample room, the bracelets didn't leave ring around the wrist. They also sold adjusters for both necklaces and bracelets! That's even better!!!

I am hosting a trunk show for Michelle next month here in Birmingham, but I wanted to share the opportunity for my readers to get to know the Stella & Dot brand, and to shop from my trunk show. You can go here to shop the online trunk show http://www.stelladot.com/ts/y7kj5

 P.S. This is not a sponsored post, these are my opinions.

Color Block Queen





I love this super chic dress I got from Youthery Khmer. I ordered it early this Summer and waited and waited for it to get here. I love it!  I know we all get excited about new designers, but I find many are hesitant to try their pieces! This dress is a perfect transitional to Fall. The material is so comfortable and breathable for this still warm weather here in the south!!! To me comfort is a huge factor in my life. I paired this dress with a necklace from Etsy (the store is closed now) and shoes from BCBG. Did anyone else grab any pieces from Youthery? If not you should look around her site and get a few!

UmmmWelll... I know, I know...


Nope, your eyes are definitely not playing tricks on you; I have indeed updated my blog. I don’t normally like to give excuses, but I do feel as though I owe you my readers an explanation. Sometime last year, I realized I was not enjoying life, and I do mean not at all. I was overwhelmed with responsibilities, between work, school and my blog I was struggling to find a happy medium. It all seemed like busy work. I was pressed to find time to do anything, you know like sleep. I wanted to be free of everything, so I took some advice and stopped doing anything extra other than going to work and coming home. I read books,  shopped, traveled and slept. Sleep was very elusive to me until this summer, and all of my doctors told me that my diabetes would get worse if I didn’t do better.

After months of doing nothing, I started to get the nagging feeling that I was missing something, that something was blogging. I missed sharing my outfits, journeys and feelings. I missed the camaraderie that I built with my fellow bloggers, I missed sharing the perfect outfit… I simply missed blogging. Deep down inside I wanted to be a more committed blogger, who was less tempted to throw in the towel when it got too hard. So I did something I didn’t do before I started blogging, I studied the art of blogging. I began to observe and study other bloggers, the ones I admired, the ones who seem to shine and express themselves without fail. In the next weeks my blog will resurface. More outfit post, a bit less writing, fun pieces and projects that I want to share. For anyone who is still around to read, Thank you for reading! For anyone who is new to the blog welcome and thank you for reading!!! I promise this time no extreme breaks!
