Swim Suit Remix Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #154
This is the final remix of my two new swim suits from Rosegal. You are probably thinking, “Thank goodness. Enough of her pasty white skin blinding me through my computer screen.” I promise, this will be the end of it seeing as I don’t really going swimming much anyway. I could have combined all four sets of swim suit stylings into one post except I have been working on some other projects and needed the easy extra content to get me through until I really start sharing the good stuff. More on that later. Later meaning next week…maybe. In case you missed the other three swim suit stylings (or maybe…

Swim Suit Remix Take 1 & Link Up On the Edge #153
Recently I shared my new swim suits from Rosegal and told you how I could mix and match the pieces to create four swim suits from two. So today I want to share the first of the two remixes with you. For this remix, I combined the cobalt blue top from the Polka Dot Halter Bikini with the bottom from the Cat Cartoon Bikini Set. I always like black and white with a nice bright splash of color and the cobalt blue is the perfect blazing shade against my translucent skin! Still no tan here even though we are nearly half way through July. But that’s okay because pale is…

It’s Independence Day & Link Up On the Edge #152
Happy 4th of July from Asheville! I am sitting here in my hotel room this morning with not much planned for today. The traveling kind of wiped me out and then I stayed up way to late on my first night in Asheville. But I had the most wonderful time! As wonderful times often do, it caught up with me last night and I hit the bed early, slept 10 hours, reset myself, and now I am just doing some laundry and figured I would check in on the blogging world while I wait for the dryer to finish doing its thing. I also wanted to share this pretty Feeling…

Inspired by Style Elixir: Metallic Print Dress & Link Up On the Edge #151
This is a rare occasion when I am writing a post that features the outfit I wore on the exact day that I am writing the post. Usually, I take outfit photos and edit them and then they sit in a stored file for about 2-4 weeks before they ever appear on my blog or social media. But on Tuesday, I saw Lauren of Style Elixir wearing the prettiest black maxi dress with gold metallic dots. It immediately reminded me of this shorter dress I recently snagged off the Kohl’s clearance rack for somewhere close to $10. My dress has gold stars rather than dots, but it was very similar…

The Great Topper Confusion & Link Up On the Edge #150
I am calling this pretty Wedgewood blue topper a kimono, but that is kind of confusing because it really is not a kimono. Country Outfitter is calling it a shawl. And it got me thinking that I cannot possibly be the only who gets confused by these terms for outfit toppers…kimonos, ruanas, ponchos, shawls, wraps, sarapes…so I took to the internet to find some clarifying definitions. They really aren’t all that clarifying. The piece I am wearing is called the Santorini Shawl. So what exactly constitutes a shawl? A shawl is usually long and rectangle shaped, similar to a scarf, that is draped over your arms and back and held…

Just a North Country Cowgirl & Link Up On the Edge #148
I think I have wanted red cowgirl boots ever since I saw Ariel wearing those iconic red boots in Footloose 35 years ago. You know the ones I speak of, don’t you? Didn’t every young girl want to be as badass as she was back in 1984? I am certain I had cowgirl boots back then, but they definitely were not red. And I was only 10, so I am sure that even if I had red cowgirl boots, I certainly was not permitted to be as damn sexy as Ariel, the defiant preacher’s daughter. Wasn’t she the perfect example of teenage rebellion, too? And she got to make out…

The Most Spoiled Girl in the World & Link Up On the Edge #147
I cannot adequately express my gratitude for all the beautiful birthday wishes I received yesterday via social media, private messages, phone calls, and visits bringing me the most perfect little gifts and treats. You all really know how to make a girl feel special. I am blessed beyond words and I do not feel deserving. On top of all the birthday spoiling I received yesterday, I also came to a very clear realization that I may just be the most spoiled girl in the world. Every single day of my life. Most of you probably already know that my husband left on Tuesday to spend a month in Louisiana for…

Energy Healing & Link Up On the Edge #145
Have you ever been caught in a negative energy vortex? This just happened to me over the past few days. From maybe Friday until Tuesday. At first, you think it is just a bad day, but then the bad day turns into multiple consecutive bad days. Just a whole bunch of negative stuff piling on top of more negative stuff. Nothing tragic really. Things that are more just of the irritating nature which become super frustrating after more and more piles on. Suddenly you realize that you are the one attracting the negativity. Because this is the way the Law of Attraction works. One negative thing you can easily rise…

Kaftan Style with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #144
Have you ever tried a style that was a bit out of your comfort zone? Or maybe something looked really cool on the racks or on someone else and you decided to give it a try. I have found that since I began blogging, I have become much more willing to try new things with my wardrobe. I figure if I am being gifted an item at no monetary cost to me, why not experiment with pieces that I wouldn’t spend my own money on. By experimenting this way, I have discovered so many different styles of clothing that I actually would purchase with my own funds. I have always…

EvaTrends Green Giraffes, Polka Dots & Link Up On the Edge #143
If you read my post on Tuesday, you already know that I began my week in a state of exhaustion. And that state has only persisted. It’s like I simply cannot get one step ahead of the game this week. I am writing blog posts hours after I generally have them scheduled to publish. I have not joined any link parties all week. My email inbox is overloaded with unanswered messages. I have not slept well in days and I am running on about 4 hours of disrupted sleep a night. But sometimes, we have weeks like these. And next week is a new week and I will approach it…
