Madewell + Solange Fall 2012 Inspired

Madewell hit the nail on the head with the pieces it has for it’s Fall 2012 Collection. It was brilliant for Solange to be the spokesmodel for this collection as well. The stylist really brought the fun girl Solange is out of these pieces. Plus, it’s such a bonus that all of these looks can […]

Summer Lips

Since Summer is coming to an end and Fall is around the corner, I thought I’d show you some of my go to lipsticks that I have been wearing. These colors have been on every trip I’ve been on and probably stashed in my purse while I was running errands. I’m super excited to be […]

This blow dryer is a bit heavy compared to your normal hair dryer. […]

Family Matters

Now that I’m back in the South, I’ve been excited to visit my family more often. Being nearly 1,500 miles away was hard, especially during holidays and special events. I always have a great time with my family and it’s never a dull moment with them. Having a support system and people who genuinely care […]

Shades of Purple

Have I ever told you my love for sunglasses? If not, I LOVE them! I seriously have a bunch in my car and at least three in my purse. So sure, I’d call it some kind of addiction. Of course they are helpful with the heat and sun, but they have become an essential to […]

On the Scene: Chicago

Chi-town! Love this city. Sky high buildings, major traffic, great scenery, and of course amazing shopping. It kind of reminded me of NYC.
