This week is a busy at work so I’m dropping in for a quick What I Wore post. This outfit is something I wore to a house party a couple of weeks ago. I thought I’d try something new and give colored tights a shot. Way outside my comfort zone but I think I like the [...]

I wasn't planning on decorating the mantel this year, however, I decided to change up our Christmas tree (with turquoise, green and silver) which left me with a ton of unused ornaments. Those unused red ornaments ended up being the inspiration for my merry and minimal mantel. Our mantel is in a different room from our [...]

Last weekend we did a little Christmas decorating. One project I completed was a Pinterest inspiration and involved the whole family. It was a Christmas tree created by our family handprints. To create this craft, we used a large canvas, green, brown and yellow paint and a paintbrush. It's not perfect but I love it [...]
