There’s nothing I love more than spoiling my boyfriend. So when the opportunity arose to surprise him with a beautifully-decorated, home-cooked dinner, I jumped at it! Colton has worked so hard the past few months and spoiled me rotten. It’s about time I did something for him. I cooked basil chicken from a recipe in my church’s cookbook (chicken breasts rolled with goat cheese and … Continue reading A Surprise Dinner Party
This post is part of the Lilly for Target linkup hosted by The Monogrammed Midwesterner and Southern Belle in Training. Enjoy! Nothing can make me smile like a bright, colorful Lilly Pulitzer print in shift dress form. I fell in love with Sea Urchin for You in this girl’s shift dress. The shades of blue mixed with the pop of pink embroidery at the neckline … Continue reading Lilly For Target: The Shift
Get ready for a long post, y’all. Some called it their dream come true. Some called it the worst day of their lives. Some even called it the Lilly Hunger Games. All I know is Lilly for Target was a personal success. Sort of.

Last summer, I went rummaging through my mom’s numerous jewelry boxes and found the dainty diamond and gold ring. I asked her about it and she told me it’s origin. I never knew my … Continue reading Link to the Past

It should be noted that this is the first time I’ve worn flats to work. Ever. What can I say? … Continue reading The New Classic
I recently had a request to write a post on work/professional attire and I thought, why not! This is actually a perfect post for me to write at the moment considering I just started my new position of Director of Communications. Dressing professionally isn’t just about looking good. Professional attire shows your coworkers, clients/customers, and bosses that you are taking your job seriously. You are, … Continue reading Be A Pro at Looking Professional
The topic of my weight has always been a touchy area with me. No, I really don’t want to talk about it, but at the same time, I do. My body is something I’m proud of but still very self-conscious about. But nowadays, no matter what you weigh or what shape your body is, it seems no one is safe from body shaming. Attempting to shame … Continue reading The Weight Issue
The hype around New Year’s Eve had never really excited me. I always dreamed about sequins, fireworks, champagne, and that special midnight kiss but when the night actually arrived…majah let down, y’all. Every NYE my expectations always plummet to the ground and blow up in my face in the form of watching the ball drop in NYC and bedtime by 12:05. No fireworks. No flowing … Continue reading #NYE 2015
So here goes nothing. I honestly don’t know how to categorize this blog as of yet. Let’s call it a conglomeration of thoughts that run through my head on a weekly basis, whether it be complaints, fashion, or really anything that catches my interest for more than five minutes.
