It's no suprise that I love the stylish things in life. However, when it comes to style, styling clothing comes soooo much more naturally to me than interior design. That sense of uncertainty when it comes to interiors often causes me to shy away from decorating for the holidays!

I know, I know. It's not actually GOOD FRIDAY, but I have some pretty stellar news and couldn't think of a more fitting name for today's post. As you guys may know, I graduated from graduate school last summer. While we already had plans to make the transition to Columbus, OH, a major reason why we moved here was so that I could pursue a career in Fashion.

Wowzers, that was super quick. Four Years. In some sense, it really does feel like it was yesterday that we got married. On the other hand, it seems like we've been together for an eternity already! ha.

I always thought that I would have to travel abroad to be data-less on vacation, but it appears that can happen right here in America. Exactly 8 hours away from Dallas, TX (and really close to the border) is a darling town called MARFA.

It's hard to believe it's been nearly 10 years since I graduated from High School. I am currently planning my class reunion, which will be happening in just a few short weeks! Eeeek. There's no doubt about it, graduating from High School was an incredibly fun part of life and for so many reasons!

I feel like it's pretty safe to cue Brittany Spear's "Ooops, I Did It Again." Inconsistency has definitely been my middle name for the last couple of weeks. To be completely honest, life has been serving me all kinds of curveballs. From personal things to work things to life things...I've been hardcore riding the struggle bus in the creative department.

It's hard to believe that my adventure as a style influencer started nearly five years ago. Well, technically it started four years ago, because during Year One, I didn't do a whole lot. I was basically running around New York City doing my thang and could have cared less about blogging...I got around to it when I had the "spare" time.

Y'all, Abercrombie & Fitch is BACK. And no, I'm not just saying that. Yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to attend an Influencer Only Event to see Abercrombie's, First In the World, new store concept. Only gone are the days of the overpowering scent that Abercrombie is notoriously known for, as well as the dim lighting.

If you have been a part of the Live Love and Read tribe for some time now, then you already know to what degree I encourage my readers to make intentional, well-thought out purchases. While we live in a society that encourages "BUY NOW," I have learned that you are much better off shopping with intent.

With Valentine’s Day being the focus for the time being, it did not feel appropriate to share a super duper serious story for today’s dose of truth. So, here’s something a bit more light hearted, all while being completely transparent.....a few random things about Jason + I (affectionately known as #ohthosereads on Instagram)

So, here's the truth...I've been in a funk for the last couple of weeks. Lack of creativity, dissatisfaction, annoyance, etc. Honestly, I feel/felt like a bit of a walking zombie...just going through the motions of life. I knew something "weird' was going on when I realized I was losing my "want to", to even post here on the blog.
