I've got a new video up on my YouTube channel today! Montana Silversmiths sent me some lovely pieces to review and here are my thoughts!
Hi Everyone,
I wore this look to church last weekend and I felt really great in it. It would have been perfect, except for the fact that I had to take my hat off. It was super windy outside!
These pants are almost 3 years old and it was gratifying to be able to fit back into them. Since cutting out bad carbs from my diet I am down 5 pounds and I have 10 more to go! Whohoo! lol Anywho, I hope this look inspires you to rock your all-black proudly.
Thank you for stopping by my blog again!! I've just launched my new website, so be sure to check it out to learn more about me!!

| Its really simple to jazz up an all-black look with sequins, or glitter. A pop of color also mixes things up! I did a red lip for my pop! |

Hi Everyone,

This blog post gives me so much perspective! I wore this look last year around September and styled it completely different! The fact that I can still fit in this dress after having a baby gives me such motivation to keep working towards my fitness goals! My overall goal is to look way better and more fit post baby than before the baby!
I just posted a video where I style this dress in two different ways. I decided to post my favorite look option on the blog. :) I did neutrals with the dress and I like how soft the finished look appears. I love bringing my thrifted pieces back to life, so to speak.

I honor of my 101st post, I'd like to celebrate all the amazing things that are taking place in my life right now. We spend entirely too much time lamenting over the negative in our lives, or what we don't have. I'd like to focus today's post on how blessed I am, in honor of Thanksgiving. The following list includes some of the highlights in my life, currently.
1. My relationship with Jesus. I am so secure in my eternity and the love that I enjoy through my relationship with Jesus Christ. Nothing in life is better than that!
2. I am blessed to be doing life with my high school sweetheart, and we still like each other! lol How many people can say that? In fact, I fall more in love with him everyday.We've traveled the world together and created beautiful music. I am grateful for our kind of love.
3. Out of that love, I bore a son. Eilan is perfect, in every way, and I am relishing in my new mom experience! He is our rainbow baby; our gift after the rain storm.
4. I am working in a career field that I feel I was created for. I love teaching and helping other adults come to a better understanding of themselves.
5. Finally, I am grateful for being able to express myself creatively while inspiring so many people worldwide, as a style blogger and singer.
Today, no matter what life may look like for you, there is always something you can be thankful for. Instead of comparing your life to someone else's highlight reel create a highlight reel of your own. Thank God for what you have and contemplate ways in which you can improve your life.

Hi Everyone,
I styled this look around a gorgeous blouse I thrifted recently. I love the polka dots against the soft taupe on this blouse. I kept everything else really simple, as the blouse was the statement piece. I did opt for more edgy accessories. Hope you are inspired!

I pulled out my favorite pair of jeans today, and held my breath for a bit as I slid them on. I wasn't sure if they would fit the same. I wasn't sure if I had lost enough weight or inches. I wasn't sure if I would fit into this literal and figurative pair of jeans again. To my astonishment, I zipped them up without a struggle!
These jeans are symbolic of being the best version of me possible. I owe it to God, myself, and my family to maintain the level of health and productivity I previously held, prior to becoming a mother. I am consistently working out during the week and I want to gradually build up a more rigorous routine. I also have plans to modify my diet in a couple months, once the baby starts solids and begins to wean off of breast milk.
I absolutely adore being a mom, and today, this small victory gave me that much more to be joyful for.
Oh, and I styled my jeans with one of my favorite tops at the moment. ;)
See you in the next post.
XOXO,

| This is why I love thrifting; It's a fortuitous occasion to stumble upon hide gems like this structured bag. |

| As I recollect these are from Ross, too! lol I purchased these heels on clearance for under $10! |
See you in the next post.

Hi Everyone,
I recently filmed and published a mini look book inspired by my postpartum body. I'm loving being a mommy and loving the journey to get back in shape as well! I'm not going to fill this post with unnecessary rhetoric; I just want to get straight to the fashion! LOL
I posted the video on my YouTube channel, but here are the looks.
This look creates a monochromatic illusion that detracts attention from my midsection.
Underneath this Aztec throw-over is a long sleeve cranberry body con dress. As I'm not yet ready to show off so much, the thick belt creates the illusion of a more defined waistline.
This boldly printed baseball-inspired buttoned tee is all I needed to amp up my confidence. It's playful and trendy. The low hem, flared skirt and lace-up booties give this look youthfulness.

Hi Everyone!!
I wore this look over the weekend. I call it my 'casualglam' look, because it combined style and comfort. I wore a light denim shirt over leggings and paired this with blue-framed sunglasses, booties, and a taupe handbag.
