Sunday Style: Orange

I recently lost a friend- she didn't die but I lost her to the city of Minneapolis. Her husband got transferred there for work. Now, I am happy for him but I am still mourning the loss of seeing my friend regularly. She won't be there in book club and we can't go to the movies anymore. No more small group either. No more late night runs to Menchies for fro-yo and girl talk.

I decided to dedicate this post to her. To my friend who loves orange. We bought these shirts together and she was always jealous of my shoes. I looked everywhere for a pair for her but was unsuccessful. She does have a pair of orange Toms so I guess she isn't totally without....

Orange is such a fun color. Orange is a stimulus color or a color that makes you stop and look. I always think it brightens my day. Orange is a bright tone in the summer and a muted tone in the fall. Orange symbolizes new beginnings like flowers blooming in the spring and the turning of the leaves in the autumn. It's a new beginning and we are happy for you! 

To my friend, Abby. I'm already missing you and will have to plan a trip soon to visit the Mall of America- I mean, visit you...






Shirt- J Crew Factory; Boyfriend jeans- Kohls; Loafers- Gap; Clutch- Francesca's; Pearl bracelet- Loft; Bangles- Lilly and Ivory 

Hope you're all having a great Sunday!

    I'm so sorry to hear that your friend moved away, Your commemoration of her presence in your life, by using the top that you bought with her, is special, and very cute! I hate orange on myself (you'll never see me wearing it), but it looks amazing on you! My best to Abby, and you, as you will have a place to visit (and shop)!

Travel Tuesday: Sugar’s Inn Galveston

Image
It’s a special edition of Travel Tuesday on a Thursday!   Ya’ll  need to get on board with going to Galveston! If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily! This was my second time visiting but I have a feeling I’ll be going back a little more often! I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away! My son and I went and we had separate rooms and each one was beautifully furnished from ceiling to floor! I took a bunch of pictures for you guys so you can check out how cute it is!  These are a few little sneak peeks of the rooms t

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
