Ahhh! First post of 2015 … crazy! How was everyone’s New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day? I usually have to work one or the other, but totally lucked out this year and had both of them off! I went down to St. Augustine, a little city 45 minutes south of Jacksonville, with a group of friends. I’m honestly not a huge New Year’s fan. I don’t shy away from being social — like it doesn’t give me anxiety to be socially interactive, but I do think this past year, I have chosen to not be social to focus on professional goals — but I absolutely love cozy night’s in, so it always takes quite a few fun jams on full blast to get me pumped for a night out. [I’m currently loving “Uptown Funk”, just in case you were wondering] But, overall, we had a blast. Our group basically took over this small little bar’s dance floor and danced our way into the New Year! What did you do? I’d love to hear!

I bought this sweater dress a few weeks ago, and styled it for the blog, but honestly, after wearing it for the rest of the day after we shot this look, it was a little itchy … so I linked a few similar ones for you. If you are set on buying it, just be sure to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath it to decrease the itchiness factor. If you’re still in the market for some amazing black flat boots, try these. They’re identical to mine and $99! I’m going out to Colorado in a few weeks, so I’ve been in the market for some cold weather gear. I grabbed this cute hot pink cable knit beanie and this cozy turtleneck so far, and am looking at getting this North Face zip up jacket. [You can never have too many!] Okay, enough rambling … have a great Friday and weekend, y’all! xo.

P.S. Anyone know of any good photographers in the Breckenridge, CO area? Please email me: haley.shepherd@gmail.com! Thank you!
