Blush & Sparkles

Happy New Year Y'all!

I don't know what it is, but the 1st day of a new year is so refreshing! Yeah everyone says "new year, new me", but there is some truth to that for anybody. Even though it's just a new day, it is the beginning to something new. I'm not one to make resolutions because those never stick. However, I have made a few goals for myself for 2014. I want to be in better health, not the I'm gonna lose weight and join a gym with the rest of 'em, but because I'm diabetic. I can always improve my eating and exercise routine to kick this diseases you know what! I also am hoping to go on a mission trip to Ecuador with my church. I have never left the country, so what better way for my first time? I also hope to get a new car by the end of the year. I'm still driving the car I got when I was 17!!! It was practically brand new when I got it and it's been everywhere and through everything with me so I will miss it, but it's time to let her go! I'm sure I'll come up with more but those 3 will do for now!

Now, on to my outfit from Christmas Day. This sweater is the prettiest blush pink and was a gift from my mom & step-dad. The necklace is just gorgeous and can't wait to style it with other outfits. It was a gift from my sister. We had our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of cinnamon rolls & coffee. We then sit and open our stockings. Then we move by the Christmas tree and open up our presents. Then in the afternoon we have Christmas with our stepsisters families and then our step-dad's side of the family. So here's a few pictures of what I wore.

Pretty Preppy

Hi y'all!

I totally forgot to post this outfit. It's actually from a month ago! Oops! This was when my hair was dark red! It was fun while it lasted. I wore this to a baby shower and then over to my dad's to celebrate his birthday. I love anything black & white, so this shirt is one of my favorites. I love how preppy it looks under this pink sweater and with pearls.

Neutral Fall Outfit

I love wearing neutrals! It gives you a blank canvas that's so easy to add accessories for a put together look. I wore this to meet up with friends while I was visiting in Ohio. It was pretty cool so I threw on my LC | Lauren Conrad leather jacket (as seen in this post) before I left but didn't get any pictures of that. There are many other options I could have worn with these neutral basics but here's what I put together!

Ivory Cardigan: Target

Nude Cami: Old Navy

Scarf: Body Central

Skinnies: Old Navy

Gold Sparkly Flats: Walmart

Gold Watch: Target

My camera on my iPhone is out of whack so these aren't the greatest but still wanted to share!

Mint Polka Dots, Lace Trimmed Denim & Gold Sparkles

Hey Y'all! I have been so busy the last few weeks I keep forgetting to take outfit pictures! Today I snapped a couple on my phone because I am obsessed with each of these individually, so of course I love them when they are all together! I wore this to work today. I'm lucky I have a job where I can wear pretty much whatever I want! :) Today was an odd day so I took a bubble bath, had some sweet red wine to relax and now I'm laying in bed while I'm posting this. I'm going to be calling it early tonight! I'm exhausted!

My kitten Annabel kept me company during my bubble bath! She's the cutest!

Hope everyone had a good Monday!

Floral with Black & Gold

I wore this outfit a couple weekends ago but just finally uploaded them to my computer! I've been better about taking pictures but slacking on the uploading and editing of them. I blame that on summertime and to be honest, I'm okay with that! This summer is halfway over and that makes me pretty sad! This has been one of the best summers I've had and I still have many things to look forward too! Anyways, I've said this before and I'll say it again, I love when I find cute items that are inexpensive but don't look cheap. I'm definitely a pro bargain shopper! My mamma and I went to dinner and shopping one night a couple weekends ago and I felt like dressing up a little bit more than I usually would for something like that. I then had her be my photographer and snap some pictures for me before we left the house.
