Merry Christmas & Joyous Everything
I recently won a raffle for a family photo session with the brilliant and ever so talented Sarissa Melissa Photography. Seeing as Melissa already has taken many amazing photos for me (you can see those here, here, here, here, and here), I was so thrilled for the opportunity to bring my family into her studio! As usual, she did not disappoint! Keep in mind, my children were absolute uncooperative beasts during this session. So Melissa definitely worked some kind of Christmas magic to produce these fabulous images! We are definitely a family with a sense of humor. And you all know I like to keep things real and authentic. So picture…

Merry Menopause
Did you catch the irony of that title? Menopause or perimenopause or whatever this is that is taking place in my 43 1/2 year old body is not so merry. In fact, it is quite literally, the least merry experience of my life. Seriously, what is this holy hot and cold hell? *This jacket was provided to me for the purposes of this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. Some women who have come through this stage of life share similar stories of bodily torment. Others claim to have breezed through it unscathed. Now, I know that all women are different and we all…

Inspired by Fashion Should Be Fun: Girl Power & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #51
If you are a fashion blogger or even the tiniest bit obsessed with fashion, I am sure you know Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun. I have been following Dawn Lucy for a few years and I have to say that she has not shared an outfit yet that hasn’t sent me into a complete swoon of adoration. Last month when she shared her post Lily Silk – High Quality Silk, Black Friday Deals, it was her studded booties that made me gasp with delight and sigh, “Oh, I need a pair of studded booties.” Seriously, how fabulous are her booties? The studs just scream girl power. Since I…

Are you familiar with the fabulous and ever so stunning Judith of Style Crone? She is the gorgeous 70-something fashionista who dedicates her blog “to the older woman, in her most creative, outrageous, authentic, powerful, adventurous, funny, and proud era.” I have been following Judith for over 2 years and all I can say is this: Thirty years from now, I hope I am half as fabulous as she is!

Where Aztec Meets New York & Link Up On the Edge #72
I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of tribal prints. I’m not exactly sure what it is about the geometric shapes and lines that are traditional in this type of pattern, but it just does not appeal to me. I have wondered before on my blog what exactly it is that draws certain people to certain prints and patterns. Even colors, too. *This poncho was gifted to me by Zaful in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I realized that one particular quality in a print that tends to bother me is complete symmetry. I prefer a…

Artistic Interpretation & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #49
Artistic interpretation is one of the most subjective ideas in human existence. Human beings have been expressing themselves creatively through art since the beginning of time really. As we evolve, our methods of artistic expression and the way we interpret art evolve with us. People find ways to express their creativity through an endless variety of mediums. Many people express themselves through painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, music, or writing. Others find creative outlets in clothing or jewelry design. *This is a sponsored post. I was provided this plaid poncho in exchange for this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Poncho: Plaid Kangaroo Pocket Plus…
