It used to be such a luxury. Anyway, on to what you probably thought I’d be talking about, boyfriend jeans. So boyfriend jeans NEVER look cute on me. I have no idea why. I mean what wouldn’t look cute on me. Kidding! HA. So these aren’t jeans you can go out and buy, (sorry) I had to cut them myself. (Annoying) We’ll lets take a look..…

Jewelry: Cuff’s and Larger Bracelets

If you haven’t already guessed, I love jewelry! I’m usually more of the type to wear a few different bracelets, rather than one large one. But sometimes the outfit just calls for a cuff!

Motivation Monday!

Sometimes its so hard to take the bad with the good. No matter how blessed I’ve been throughout my life, when unideal situations arise and I’m struggling, it’s not easy to wake up everyday and say I accept this challenge or this lesson. Thank you for bringing me challenges in my life, for I know they will make me better. That’s a hard statement, especially when you’re going through a rough time.
