Reindeer Dress for an Early Christmas & Link Up On the Edge #224
Happy Friday, y’all! I am so late getting to this post because this week has just been an overwhelming cyclone of holiday activities. As you are all are probably finishing up your last minute things with a week left until Christmas, I will preparing our Christmas Eve dinner tonight to celebrate this weekend. You see, Army life has trained us that all holidays have a season and none have to be celebrated on the actual designated calendar day. Generally, we are the ones who have to travel to visit family on the holidays, but this year the travel restrictions and the out of pocket costs for travel related Covid testing…

Snow Day Outfits & Your Own Twist Link Up #27
It is that time again when I join Monica of Jersey Girl, Texan Heart for Your own Twist, a monthly link party that we host on the third Thursday of every month with the goal of inspiring some of our friends to get creative with personal style. The idea behind this collaboration is to take one common piece or theme and style it our own way with our own twist…Monica and I have both taken a lot of fashion inspiration from one another over the past few years even though we have totally different styles. It is always fun to see how we can interpret similar items in unique ways or what…

Style Imitating Art: Gumball II by Charles Bell
I finally got my act together in time to participate with Style Imitating Art. In case you are unfamiliar with this series, Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Kim Fierce Fashion Blog, and Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from works of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts selects an inspiration image and they each post the image on their blogs. The following Monday, each host shares her art inspired outfits. And that Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog. I have been following along with all of the creative…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Paisley & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #201
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series that I co-host with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy). Every month you can choose which item you want to submit. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye. This month’s theme is Paisley. I know, I know.…

All the Sparkles | December Stylish Monday Link Up
“Note to self: Never leave home without glitter.” Adrienne Kress, The Friday Society ‘Tis the season to sparkle and shine with all the brilliance of glitter and sequins reflecting what is good and beautiful in this crazy, crazy world. Perhaps sequins act like magic in a way, by transporting us from the normal boring mundanities of life (especially life in lockdown) to an enchanted place that explodes with a brightness which blazes through a seemingly endless dark time. When the Stylish Monday group presented sparkles as our theme for this month, I certainly had no shortage of shiny things to choose from to create some sartorial magic of my own. With…

The Adventures of Naughty Rudolph
I know you are all familiar with the silly Elf on a Shelf tradition that made big holiday splashes back in the early 2000’s. We never jumped on the elf train because we had Naughty Rudolph already hanging around our house. He has learned a few tricks from the elves over the past 7 years since he began his first Christmas shenanigans. But I think the elves can learn a bit from him, too. At first, Naughty Rudolph (NR as we call him for short) played some harmless kid friendly tricks like taking marshmallow baths on the kitchen table, dying the milk green (he does that every year), having tea…

Link Up On the Edge #223
Featured Favorites Reader Favorite (Most Clicked) Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style shared her post, Fashion on a Budget: 5 Tips to Look Expensive. I know I am always looking for the best bargains on clothing and accessories but nobody wants to look cheap even if they enjoy spending less, so I found these tips quite beneficial. I think all budget fashionistas will appreciate this post as well! Fashion Favorite Emma of Style Splash shared her post, Orange Paisley Shirt Dress, and I am dying of sartorial jealousy over here! You know how I am loving paisleys right now. And the vintage feel of this dress in this amazing color combination…

Inspired by Ephemera: Yellow Velvet Skirt and Bomber Jacket
I feel like maybe I am finally getting a bit of my mojo back…at least my sartorial mojo. But I’ll take whatever I can get these days. When it comes to finding outfit inspiration, there is definitely no shortage of fabulously stylish women in the world of blogging and other social media platforms who deliver us the most delicious confections and savory combinations to keep these long winter days of isolation a little more fashionable and interesting. As most of us have been spending our days in our most comfortable loungewear, I’m not sure if that is the image that we really want to put forth into the world. I…

Holiday Gift Idea by Mapiful & Stay at Home Holiday Outfit Inspiration
I know I have already shared a bit about Mapiful and their gorgeous personalized prints as the perfect gift idea this holiday season. With Christmas drawing ever closer, I wanted to show you how beautifully these prints pair with holiday home decor. And as a little extra bonus, I also created this sassy, sexy outfit playing dress up in my closet the other day. The combination of black satin, bright pink, and red made me smile. It may be a bit too revealing for a holiday spent at home with children, but for those of you who do not have young children at home and are planning a quiet holiday…
