Winter Style with Ada & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #53
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful and safe holiday season! I am ready to get this year started in the most energized and empowering way…and I have so many ideas flooding out of me for 2018. Now I just need to get myself organized and take it one step at a time. First on my agenda though is to get a planner! But this post is not about my big, disorganized plans! That topic is for another day perhaps. Instead, let’s get to some styling business to kick off the new year. Of course, if you follow my blog, then you know Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood.…

Your favorite posts from last week. Lisa of Coast to Coast shared her post Monday Musings – A Whole Lot of Random.

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…

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! Not only am inspired by her impeccable style, but its her adoration of vintage hats and her amazing collection of headwear that has inspired this particular outfit post. *This is not a sponsored post.

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…

My Instagram Husband & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #48
Do you have an Instagram Husband? I know I sure do. And man, do I appreciate him! While I have some great friends who very frequently volunteer to take my photos for the blog, it is my husband who falls victim to all the craziness that happens behind the scenes in this blogger’s life. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. Take for example this dress which was provided to me in exchange for a blog post. On the day I wanted to photograph this dress, I didn’t realize how completely disgusting the weather was when I got dressed. But I was already dressed…

Last week, I attended a power networking event for women in business. It was called Women Igniting Women and was created by the very inspiring Kathi Buskey of McEvoy Insurance, Ltd., a family-owned and run insurance company in Watertown, New York, offering both personal and commercial insurance. *This is not a sponsored post, but there will be lots of business links at the end!

Hockey Fights Cancer & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #45
Cancer. That dreaded “C” word that we all fear and dread. The disease that has effected every single one of us in some way. A diagnosis that feels like a death sentence and literally changes lives forever. No, I have not been diagnosed with cancer. But too many of my friends and family have. Both of my parents lost their battles with the disease many years ago. Both of them were quite young. Not much older than I am now, in fact. So the topic of cancer is one that is near and dear to my heart because it did change my life forever. My husband and my children never…
