The Plaid Hatter
I bring to you today two of my favorite things right now: Red Plaid and Cloche Hats. They create the perfect combination for a festive holiday look, in my opinion. I have been adding piece after piece of red plaid to my winter wardrobe and I just do not tire of it. I also have been adding plaids in many other colors. As a result, I feel the need to add more and more cloche hats to my collection to coordinate with all of my plaid. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are completely my own.

‘Tis the Season to be Mindful (with Zaful)
People have a tendency to get a little crazy during the holiday season. Whether it is stress over money or gift buying, attending or hosting holiday events, relationship or family issues, or cramming in work obligations with year end deadlines, problems just seem more amplified at this time of year. And as a result, people get harried and oftentimes quite nasty with one another. *This is a sponsored post. This top was provided to me.

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.
