The Perfect Flare
Happy Father's day! We had a wonderful day celebrating my dad! We enjoyed steaks by the pool and then went swimming afterwards. The look above is one of my very favorites, and I am so excited to share it with you guys! First, this hair style was completed in 3 minutes, and is the perfect hair style for curly damp pool hair. I have natural wavy hair and it has been incredibly humid here in VA the last few days, and my hair is unstoppable. I can't do anything with my hair when it's humid, so I decided to throw it up into a braid crown. This is my very first time completing this look, and I honestly LOVE IT! I am wearing my barefoot blonde hair extensions to add length to complete this look. Second, these pants are to die for. I am currently OBSESSED with extra flare jeans. I think they are so classic. I always try and add a little pop of color when wearing flare jeans so I like adding scarfs to my pants. I like wearing colorful earrings to create a better look. Also, can we talk about this purse? I am a huge fan of anything rattan. This rattan purse was under $25 and it look identical to the J.Crew one that cost $80! I bought the above rattan purse at Tjmaxx. Let's be honest Tjmaxx is bae!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

The Pom Pom Dress
Happy Thursday!
I am so happy tomorrow is Friday! Chad is going to be out of town, which means this girl gets to relax all weekend. I need a break! I feel like I have been going none stop since April. I hope all of you get to relax this weekend as well.
The above outfit is a find at the Jcrew Clearance sale back in March! I knew when I saw this puppy I had to get it. (It was only $15, I repeat $15) I have always been the type to clearance shop ALWAYS! I do not buy anything full price. Since I went to Liberty University JCrew's main headquarters is in lynchburg, which meant all the Liberty students got the sale stuff (I wasn't complaining). This hair style is one of my favorites because on a hot summer day it's a easy style to keep away from your face (and super cute). I am wearing barefoot blonde hair to give my ponytail a little extra volume. Once I completed the ponytail I just wrapped a few extra pieces around the pony tail holder to give it a softer look.

Soon to be Simmons
Happy Monday everyone!
As most of you know I am ENGAGED!!!!! I can't believe I finally get to say that! I have got lots of questions on how he proposed. This blog post is all about Chad and I, and how we met, and then I will get into the proposal. So on March 29th 2013, Chad and I were "set up" by my uncle. I met Chad at a church Easter play (the church I know attend). I went to Halesford Baptist to watch the Easter production, and who would have ever thought that is where I would meet husband? My uncle, Chads family, and I went to Wendy's after the Easter play and grabbed something quick and sat down and talked the rest of the evening. I guess that is when Chad figured out he wanted to ask me out on a date. After that night we were together everyday. Fun Fact: My aunt always told me to pray specifics, and God will give it to you if he wants you to have it. So I prayed that the lord would send me a cowboy who loves Jesus and he gave me just that!!!!!! Jesus is so cool. I am very thankful I get to marry someone who loves Jesus and puts him first.
Now its time for the proposal!
On August 27th 2017 Chad Simmons asked me to marry him. How? Funny story. Actually it's not that funny but I sure do love that man. August 27th was a Saturday and Chad told me he wanted to go for a boat ride early that morning, so that is what we did. We took the boat out and stopped and got lunch and ate on the water (that was fun). After we ate lunch Chad took me to a cove and asked me " what I got him for his birthday" (his birthday was 4 days before this). I responded "I haven't got you anything yet, I told you I would let you pick it out". He said,"What if I told you I wanted to marry you as my birthday gift". WOW WOW WOW! I did not see that coming. Chad got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Side note: I said yes before he even asked!!!! After that amazing surprise we met our friends at one of the nicest restaurants on Smith Mountain Lake and celebrated the evening. That was the BEST day of my entire life and I am so happy I get to become a Simmons.
Wedding date: September 9th of THIS year.
