There are lots of ways that we can make a bold and dynamic statement with our clothing. A mean pair of earrings, a killer handbag, an interesting top, all of which are GREAT. However, I think there is one clothing piece that we often forgot about and that's a BLAZER.

Roughly five years ago, I made the decision to go natural. It was a hard one, but I felt it was necessary, as my relaxed hair was completely wrecked. In May of 2013, just a month before our wedding, I did the big chop.

Ever since my young college days, I've always been that girl who wears her ankle boots ALLLLL YEAR LONG. There's one outfit I remember specifically...a tan printed Old Navy dress with tan cowboy ankle boots, also from Old Navy. I thought I was super cool! In fact, a photo of that exact look just popped in my timeline a few weeks ago...maybe I should share it. haha.

It's no surprise at all, but I LIVE for the bright, citrus-like colors. There's just something about orange and yellow (especially yellow) that makes me super happy. Insert happy sigh! Back in February, I shot this fun look down in NOLA (on a rather balmy Saturday). We were scooting along and happened upon this burnt orange wall, which made for the perfect backdrop for this bright spring-like look!

Just a few weeks ago, en route home from a trip down South, I made a quick pitstop in Baton Rouge to visit my frand, Taylor. Without the slightest hesitation, we ventured over to NOLA for a day of adventure and it was pretty much incredible. I mean...I basically ate all day. I'm a foodie, so I was living my best life!

Happy Galentine's Day! And yes, I promise this is a real holiday...I mean...just search Google and you'll see that I am indeed correct. When I was chatting with Jason about our Galentine's Day content, he was like "What is Galentine's Day?"  The last thing we need in America is another holiday to celebrate, but I will gladly take any opportunity to celebrate the gals that I love and adore.

At the beginning of the year, I always find myself taking inventory of my skincare regimen and figuring out how I should move forward with it. The end of 2017 presented lots of lifestyle changes for me, which naturally affects one's skin. And not to mention, here in Ohio we are having the most brutally cold weather, which also demands taking that skincare regimen up a notch! And lastly, with 30 on the horizon, I had been itching to change up my routine and REALLY go after my silky-soft skin goals.
