I dropped my bracelet in the toilet. No, SERIOUSLY. I dropped my bracelet in the toilet. It slipped off so silently. It didn’t even make a splash. I wasn’t even sure it really happened. Did my bracelet actually just fall in the toilet? But unfortunately it did. I covered my bracelet in soap and scorching… Continue reading Photography Keeps me Sane
As a child I was only aware of two states–Indiana and Michigan. Yes, obviously I knew their were 50 states, and I could name them with their capitals for the elementary school memory tests, but in my world there was only two. I was born and raised in Indiana. My parents still live on property… Continue reading Where I Grew Up
I love to match. That’s no surprise to anyone who knows me. It makes me so happy (probably too happy) when my clothes or shoes or accessories match. I’ve become a fan of online shopping. It’s so convenient (and time-wasting) that I find myself doing it often. I’ve been looking for a matching top and… Continue reading Matchy-Matchy
Minimalism is having a moment. Whether it be makeup or fashion, minimalism is taking over spring fashion runways worldwide. You know what this means–less time spent on makeup and matching outfits in the morning, and more time spent on sleeping! My spring go-to makeup is super simple. I’m skipping the shimmery eye shadows and blush… Continue reading Spring Minimalism

I use to gather dandelions at recess, this time popping off the yellow heads and splitting open the stems. I’d lay the stems flat before… Continue reading Dandelions

I used my recent purchases from Charming Charlie (I can easily spend an hour in the store. So many choices!) for most of my outfit. Collage Photos: Arrow Head &… Continue reading Spring Picnic Fashion
Yesterday I celebrated Easter with my family. It was a wonderful time filled with sunshine, neon colors and 20 people crammed around the dining table. (I got stuck at the kids table…but I didn’t mind!) Of course I had to capture the decor, my Easter outfit and adventurous egg hunting experience (We take our Easter… Continue reading Easter
As soon as it hit 50 degrees (maybe even 45) I immediately started wearing skirts and dresses, minus the tights and leggings. After a winter like Indiana just had, this sunshine and warmth feels glorious! I haven’t quite broke out my strappy sandals and peep-toe wedges yet, (my horrendously unpainted toenails are ugly) but my… Continue reading Easy Spring Chocolate Pretzel Treats
Spring has finally arrived in Indiana! (At least I think so. Who knows, it could snow tomorrow. Typical Indiana.) And what better way to celebrate warmer weather than with a shopping afternoon dedicated to buying pastel clothing! New York & Company is one of my favorite stores not only for their feminine, professional styles, but also for… Continue reading Four (Affordable) Items to Rock this Spring!
