Hi friends! I picked up this beautiful floral boho-esque peasant top before I left for London. I thought the colors were SO pretty. I don’t wear red very often so buying it was a push out of my wardrobe comfort zone, as well! I decided to keep it simple with a pair of white jeans, which can always be dressed up or down as long as they are crisp white. I also rediscovered an old lip gloss color that my girlfriends and I loved to wear in college. It’s called ‘Scandal‘! Ooooo!
HEADS UP: If you need a good pair of white jeans, this is my favorite pair! I know sizes are limited in the ones I’m wearing today.
Hah … anyway, hope y’all are having a great week so far! Going to keep today’s post short and sweet to give myself a little more time to get the Ulta video started & completed for you guys! The goal is to have it up on Fridayyy! To catch everyone up who may not know what video I’m talking about …. I’m partnering with Ulta on a video post. Brands give publishers full creative control, typically, when working together so I thought it’d be fun to give the content topic over to you guys to decide! So, I polled my Snapchat audience giving them 4 post suggestions to choose from and … by a landslide … they wanted a video on my Favorite Drug-Store Beauty Products, that you can obviously buy at Ulta 😉 So, be sure to follow me on Snapchat because it’s my favorite platform to communicate and talk to you guys on! I love hearing your feedback and suggestions. Your comments to me make my day … seriously! So, I’ll be filming that this afternoon, after I shoot a few looks with another London-based photographer, then will need a good bit of the rest day and all day Thursday to get it edited and ready for y’all to view!
If all goes to plan, I’ll have a post full of the Fall finds you need to go ahead and start snagging now up on the blog tomorrow!
I am also thinking about starting to do encouragement / inspirational posts starting next week. So many of you reach out and say such sweet things about how sweet and inspiring I am, how I’ve encouraged you in some way, how down-to-earth I seem, etc. It’s incredibly sweet to hear, especially because being a good human being is a daily goal of mine, but it made me think maybe I could just share my thoughts on tough topics on here so you can refer back to them from time to time, if needed. If you’ve followed me from the beginning, you know I’m a huge fan of quotes and words, and if so many of you like what I’ve had to say in the past … I’d be happy to spend a little bit of time every month on those kinds of posts. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions!
So much for short & sweet … 😉 Have a great day, lovelies! xo.
I am OBSESSING over these jeans! They are so cute, and the length is perfect!

You are so down to earth and have such a sweet aura about you that’s for sure! Love the idea of a little series of encouragement! Maybe like a high and low of the week with a little encouraging word factored in?
