High Fashion Spotlight: Danville Fashion Week

17 Comments

As a blogger, I love attending fashion shows. Being invited to shows is exciting, but also helps me to stay abreast of trends, and designers on the rise. From the big (NYFW) to the small (local church shows), one thing remains the same: creativity abounds in every town, no matter the size! The featured city in this post: Danville, VA is no exception! Although I’mRead Now

The Best Colorful Coats for Winter!

30 Comments

Autumn has finally arrived in NC, and clearly she has something to prove! Today was a cold, miserably rainy, and gray day. As I reached into my coat closet this morning (it was a chilly 41 degrees when I left for work!), I was a little dismayed at my collection of black and gray winter coats that match everything, but lack whimsy and cheer! WhenRead Now

Hello Socialites! It’s been a rough couple of weeks at work, so I apologize for the lack of posts. I’m feeling like Timbaland right now: “It’s been a long time…I shouldn’t have left you. Without a dope post to step to.” #cornymoment This past weekend was epic ya’ll!!! We celebrated my mother’s 65th birthday with a huge bash at Fleming’s Steakhouse (sooo good, and theRead Now

Overcoming The Pull Of My Phone

69 Comments

Recently, I came across a quote by Jessica Seinfeld that made me take a hard, honest look at myself (and my phone addiction!) Wow.  How many times have I been guilty of this one? My first reaction was to rationalize it by thinking “I’m a blogger…my business is my phone, and social media!”  But the reality is that I had a phone addiction long beforeRead Now

Transitioning Your Summer Tops Into Fall

I live in North Carolina, which is known for its’ crazy weather! It stays summertime warm well into October. My sisters and I used to joke that it never gets cold until the night of Halloween, and we would be so upset about having to wear a coat over our costumes! Suffice it to say, Summer blouses and tops are still a Fall staple forRead Now

Finding Your Monday Motivation

42 Comments

I am soooo not a morning person. For me, waking up is a daily struggle that entails hitting the snooze button in rapid succession (why does 5 minutes fly by so quickly when snoozing, but a minute lasts a dang hour on my treadmill?); waking up and lying in bed thinking about how much I hate having to get up; finally getting up and thenRead Now

Friday Faves: Fall Scents

17 Comments

I recently took a little trip to Bath & Body Works to check out some Fall fragrances. I am a huge fan of scented lotion and body sprays, as they provide a change from my go-to perfumes (Viktor and Rolf’s Flowerbomb, and Far Away by Avon-don’t laugh…I’m an old soul! ?) Bath & Body Works always has a great selection of scents that range fromRead Now
