Only Time Will Tell: Jord Watches for the Holidays
Recently on the blog, I talked about how we can achieve The Perfect Life. That post got me thinking about ideas such as life as a journey, living in the present moment, and the inevitable passing of time. Time is a very strange concept, isn’t it? Sometimes, it feels as if it passes us by too quickly. Other times, it seems as if it is standing still. But it is always moving at the same rate of speed that it always does. So what causes this weird sensation of time moving at different rates of speed and very often at an extremely uncomfortable pace? *This is a sponsored post. As…

The Perfect Life with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #69
The perfect life. We want it all. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Top: Plus Size Letter Print Drop Shoulder Knitwear ($16.13) c/o Rosegal. What does that mean anyway? Can we have it all? Is the perfect life attainable? In my opinion, I think those terms, have it all and perfect life, are all relative. How does that old Proverb go…it is better to want what you have than to have what you want? Be content with your life and with yourself in the here and now, then you have everything. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.”…

The Softer Side of Fall with Rosegal
If you are a regular reader here and follow along to see my clothing choices, then you know that I generally opt for darker colors in my wardrobe decisions. With my black hair and fair skin, I find that dark hues or jewel tones tend to work best and I am always drawn to black, olive, burgundy, and navy or cobalt blue, deep red, and forest or kelly green. *This is a sponsored post. This tunic was provided to me for a review. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Off Shoulder Plus Size Asymmetric Tunic Top ($24.29) c/o Rosegal.

Respect for College Athletes & Link Up On the Edge #68
College athletes in sports such as football and basketball often take on celebrity status as their college careers are followed by die hard fans and made public through national broadcasting. While I am a huge supporter of college athletics, sometimes the love of the game and the passion that has brought these players so much success in their chosen sport can get lost in all the media hype. So today, in conjunction with another one of my college football game day outfits, I want to bring the topic of college sports back to reality and let you all in on some little secrets about the life of a student-athlete. *This…

The Velvet Trend with Zan.Style & Link Up On the Edge #67
I know some women my age who grew up in the late 80’s-early 90’s have some mixed emotions about the velvet trend that has taken over the fashion world the past few years. For me, I simply cannot get enough of it. Whether I see it in warm autumn hues, cool jewel tones, or soft pastels on shirts, pants, dresses, or shoes…I pretty much feel the burning urge to have it all. I have quite a few velvet pieces that I picked up last year at the end of the winter season when it was all on clearance, so you can bet my velvet clad bottom that you are going…
