A couple of weeks ago, a friend at work gave me a coupon for a free pair of Madewell jeans. I know, lucky right? Madewell is a sister company of J.Crew that specializes in denim. I have a lot of friends that rave about them and say they make your butt looks so good. I have been a previous Madewell customer, but only purchased tops that were on sale. Because I'm frugal, I ...
Business casual can mean so many things! I started my new job this week and I have been in several different work environments in my career. The dress at my internship in college was business professional. My first job out of college was casual (like nike shorts casual) and my last job I would say was business casual, but more on the trendier side. As spring internships and ...
I have big news that I can finally announce! Well, some of you may have already guessed it buuut I'm moving! I got a new job working for a women's retail brand headquartered in Fayetteville, AR. Everyone thinks Jared and I are crazy for moving and starting new jobs two months before we get married, which we might be, but you know there is no time like the present. Jared ...
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! How is it already February?? Tis the season of love! Whether you're celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galtentine’s Day (for all my single girls out there) it’s an excuse to dress up and wear something pink or red and eat a lot of chocolate. Ok, let’s be real it's only about the chocolate. This girly feminine dress from Apricot Lane is ...
I found THE dress for my big day in a few months. At my alterations place they require 3 appointments. The first appointment is to get a general feel of everything that needs to be done and to pin everything in place. The second fitting is where they have a light stitch in the dress, but are still able to make adjustments and then at the final fitting everything is ready to go ...
If you are like me you got a pair of duck boots for Christmas. The shoes come pre-tied with the "Eastland Knot" but I wanted a little more support on my ankles. The first thing I did was untie the laces because I wanted the ankles to be tighter. My sister who also got a pair of boots freaked out was like what if you don't get them to look like that. I told her I'll figure it ...
Jared and I are a little less than 3 months away from the BIG day! We debated on sending out Save the Dates for a long time. Personally it seemed like an unneeded extra cost. If you think about they will hang on fridges for a couple months and then go in the trash. Ultimately, we decided to do because well... honestly we just loved our engagement pictures so much. (See them all ...
This Texas weather is so up and down. It literally snowed on Friday and on Wednesday it's supposed to be in the 70's. Make up your mind Texas! It kind of makes me crazy trying to figure out how to dress. If you are a Texas girl I'm sure you can relate! On the chilly days, I have a 3 must have winter staples you won't find me leaving my apartment without. In winter's past I ...
