July Outfits (Part 2)
Well since I really like most of my outfits this month and not everyone follows me on Instagram, I decided to split my post in two since I had so much to share. I definitely had some winning piece such as my red Target dress so I wore it is several ways. At the time I wrote this post it was available online is small and medium in limited stock but it is worth checking if your store carries it. It is that good! Wow, I am looking a little tired in these pictures: the cute little 2 year has been waking me up most night and a little stress…

July Outfits (Part 1)
The month of July has been a month of brights! I have also enjoyed my white shorts a lot and wonder how I survived without a pair last year: I continue to vary my outfits with wearing shorts, skirts and dresses. As I mentioned in another post, I really am happy with my Spring/Summer wardrobe which has been a combination of donating what I didn’t like anymore and add some new things. With a less strict budget and a couple gift cards, I have been able to find some budget friendly things to add and it has been fun shopping (online). Yellows Purple used to be my favorite and I…

Packing for a Hiking Vacation
Our usual week long vacations destinations are to the beach while our bigger vacation take us abroad. We have occasionally gone to the mountains for a few days but we have never taken a week vacation in the mountains. Therefore, for this vacation I had to think differentlty. I had to pack items that would work on dirt trails, in water and maybe a cave visit. Being me though, I still will wear my statement earrings and will try to be fashionable. I decided to pack one dress but everything else can be mixed and matched for hikes or slightly streneous exercise. Shoes I am packing 4 pairs of shoes:…

Coral Dress and Sunflowers
Sunflowers! I love sunflowers! Growing up in the south of France, it was not unusual to come accross fields of sunflowers while traveling. I still remember going to a week long camp and my friends and I picking seeds from the sunflowers to eat them. I haven’t come accross those large sunflowers here but I decided that this year, I would find some fields to visit. Sunflowers and lavender are my favorite! After an internet search, I came accross Anderson Sunflower Farms in Cummings which is about an hour drive from my house. It was a $20 parking fee per car and you could then explore the fields and take…

Monochromatic Black for Summer
I love an all white look for summer but I also love an all black look too! While I wouldn’t wear all black and sit in the sun, an all black look is chic and classy for summer and can be appropriate depending on your activity. Today, I am sharing a look I wore running errands and hanging out at the house, a look I did a little walk in and a dressier look I would wear going out or going to an indoor event. Black skirt and graphic tee Often times, when I wear all black, I like to add some color with bright accessories. I have neutral sandals…

Inspired by Paula of Dimples on my What
I started reading Paula’s blog a year and a half ago, I think. I love to follow different bloggers not only for their sense of style (which she has therefore my inspiration for today’s outfit) but also for inspiration in other areas of life. Paula is a wife, a mother, and a grandmother and shares fashion tips for full figured women as well as shares personal inspiration. One of my favorite post was Overcome the Dark, Keep the Light on which something I needed to read at the time. She reminds me that I should draw strength from the scriptures (which is a habit I need to get back into).…

June Favorite Outfits
Today I am sharing my favorite outfits of the day for the month of June. I always like to revisit my Instagram posts in a blog post because it helps me figure out which works and doesn’t work. I think this was my favorite look for the month of June: I love the feminity of the white peasant blouse paired with the denim and the accessories just make the outfit complete. It also make me happy to see how I wear certain things over and over again over the years such as the sandals and the blouse. I have been all about flowy clothes this summer whether they are flowy…
