Valentine’s Day: What to Wear in Cold Weather
Well, just when I thought I could start putting away the mittens and bringing out the fabric scarves for Spring, Texas went and changed it up on me… again. Thank goodness the weather isn’t as bad as #icemageddon we had back in December. Now, I don’t have any fancy-shmancy plans like most lovebirds this Valentine’s Day, but one of the girliest things my blog followers will learn about me in due time is that I love dressing up for holidays. Yep, I had an outfit planned for next Friday. Judge me. But, with the weather, it looks like my sheer top and fabric-pink scarf will have to take the bench…

Valentine’s Day Decor – Valentine Tree
Christmas is well over, and it’s already February! This means that Valentine’s Day is almost here, and it was time to redecorate the apartment for another holiday. Now, either this is my most ingenious way to fill up empty space and reuse the Christmas tree year-round, OR this is my laziness at it’s finest. You decide. Instead of breaking down the Christmas tree, getting frustrated while trying to stuff the pieces back in the box, and leaving the house plain and non-festive, I decided to try and make it work as a festive piece in my living room for each holiday. The rose buds featured on the tree are actually…

But, when it comes to actually going out to the store and recreating the thousands…

Of course I made the annual grumble, thinking, “It’s still 100+ degrees out, how the hey can I get in the mood to buy halloween stuff right now?!” But, truth be told, I love Halloween and fall decor. Fall has become one of my FAVORITE times of the year, and I love the pretty colors that go along with this season. So, during this time, I wanted to try out a new DIY project I had pinned a while back: Decorative Halloween Wine Bottles (It should…

Oops, I’ve been MIA!
Hey there my dashing dears! I meant to blog more these past few months. I realllly did! But I have been MIA: Missing in Action Adventure! I’ll have plenty more scrumptious restaurant reviews for y’all soon enough, but I just wanted to give you a taste of why I’ve been virtually absent on here the last couple of months! Late May through Mid-June I flew back home to sunny California and had a great time catching up with family and friends. In June, my girlfriends and I set off on an adventure: our first girls-only trip outside of California! We’ve known eachother for 6+ years, and were so thankful to have the…
