Spring Stripes









Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! Sorry I have been MIA the past couple of weeks. I was working out of town at High Point Furniture Market (so fun). I also have been re-thinking my blog a lot lately and really want to get this thing going. I know that blogs take a lot of work, but I am ready to get the show on the road. I have always enjoyed fashion, interiors, gardening, and anything in between. I have also added a category to my blog...... (I will announce later this week). The hardest part about blogging is getting someone to take the pictures for you. I am a photographer part time, so I am really picky about how things look. Usually, I get my mom and brother to take my pictures and they do the best they can. Today, for the above outfit my boyfriend took these, and he ACTUALLY did an amazing job. Super thankful for the supportive team I have. Another thing I struggle with and always have is my grammar and writing skills. I have never been the person to dig deep and write about things. I have always been super self conscious about my grammar/spelling, and my mother told me this week not to let that get in the way of anything I do in life. SHE IS SO RIGHT! Sometimes you just have to DO IT! I can't wait to start this journey and see where things go.

This outfit is one of my all time favorites!

Friends & Fashion







This weekend was one for the books! You know those friends where you can go a couple weeks without talking, but pick right back up where you left off? Yep, it's these 2 girls. We went to the Liberty University Fashion show on Saturday night and if you have not gone before it's a MUST! Last year I was actually a designer in the show and this year I was a ALUMNI watching (time goes so fast). Liberty University Fashion students have so much talent and I mean that! If you have not gone to a fashion show I highly recommend going to the LU one in April. Anyways.... when you go to a fashion show that calls for a mandatory dress up night.

Backyard Greenhouse










Today I have been incredibly happy probably because it was 80 degrees here in VA, and my plants are doing so great in my greenhouse. They are growing so quickly I can hardly keep up. It is all most transplanting season and that means less sunlight for these babies. Sometimes to much sunlight can damage your plants. I have covered my greenhouse to protect my plants from the sunlight. Just a few quick tips for transplanting. 

1. Make sure your plants are ready for the big move to the ground.
2. If they are tomatoes make sure to pull apart multiple plants. 
3. Dig hole in ground
4. Transplant your plant from the container
5. Put plant in hole
6. Cover with dirt and potting soil 
7. Water
8. Watch it grow!

Blush and Braids







I am loving the off the shoulder shirts this season. I am such a fan of girly clothes and I am so glad the girly looks are back! I found this off the shoulder shirt at Tjmaxx for $15 and it is going to get worn a lot this spring/summer. I got my Denim skirt from Target for $25 and it can be worn with any shirt. 

A big trend right now is tucking just the front of your shirt into your pants/skirt. It makes a huge difference in how the outfit looks. There are so many different ways to tuck in your shirt. One of my favorites is half tucked half untucked when I am wearing a button up shirt, but for the shirt above I just tucked the front. It gives the outfit a little extra touch without spending anymore money. Also, add a cute braid to give the outfit another sweet touch. 

Also, I am adding a really fun category soon to my blog so stay tuned. Hopefully it will come within the next few weeks! 

Stay Beautiful

Monday Blues








Monday blues are the worst. Today in VA it's not only a Monday, it is a rainy Monday. But the only thing making this Monday a little brighter are these cute finds from Target! I am such a fan of denim, and Target never disappoints with their denim selection. I recently purchased this denim off the shoulder dress and it's not only amazing, its also comfortable. I highly recommend it.

 I also purchased  denim shoes that wrap around the ankle. I am such a fan of ankle shoes, and these shoes make any outfit come together. They might be the most worn item in my closet this spring/summer.

 Also, I got these adorable Baublebar Target earrings and they have been the best things EVER! I also believe blue earrings are the best statement to any outfit.

All items: TARGET

Stay beautiful
