I usually don’t post nature photos and blog about personal things in my life! 2015 Im trying to turn over a new leaf and be more real about who I am, and not what pictures appear to be! Last weekend we drove to Jasper, GA to say goodbye to my Nana. We all stayed in a cabin together in a cute little neighborhood called BentTree! If you haven’t been, it is a must see and a gorgeous peaceful place to visit! Bring some snacks though… Not many places to eat in Jasper, GA! The trip was one to remember always.. spending time by the fire, watching old movies and drinking coffee. We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more! This trip made me realize even more how important family really is. The hustle and bustle of our everyday lives can get in the way of what is really important sometimes. “Stop and smell the roses!” this was told to me by the father of my little Princeton who has battled cancer for the past 4 years of his life! It is so True! Sometimes we just need to stop and smell the roses, take a deep breath and take advantage of what we have RIGHT now!
WINTER WHITE
When I found these pants from Forever21 I never knew I would wear them as much as I have! I love finding gems like this for such an affordable price and that are so on trend right now! Winter White is a classic look that has been recreated season after season and can be pulled off very easily by anyone. The first time I wore these pants I paired it with a white crop top and a black leather jacket. This time I found this adorable top from Bloomingdale’s by Aqua to give it a more sweet girly look without having to cover up with a jacket. Make sure to scroll all the way down to shop my look and see how I styled these pants 2 other ways! Photo by: Krista Deckrow with http://www.KristenWeaverPhotography.com

DON'T PANIC!!
2015 has started out a little differently than I anticipated, however life happens and we tell ourselves “DONT PANIC”! When I found this sweater at Bloomingdale’s I knew I had to have it! Working with Kristen Weaver and Krista Deckrow is always so much fun! It felt good to laugh and be in my uncomfortable element again of this whole taking photos thing! Here is to many more awkward photos and tons of great things to come in 2015!! Happy New Year y’all and remember.. Don’t Panic! xo
My favorite thing to wear these days are ripped up boyfriend jeans and a pointed toe pump! Layering is also key this Winter season! Stock up on some fun button down shirts that can go under crop tops, sweaters and spice up a long sleeve T-shirt!

GIFTS FOR MEN – FOX35 GOOD DAY LIVE
Gifts for men are always a challenge for me! Maybe because I want to be more creative then what is really needed? Who knows! When Fox35 asked me to do a gifts for men segment I broke it down into 5 categories of men. First is the Manista, or some would call them, the guy that has everything.. I chose 3 things that any guy who loves style will love all year round. The next kind of guy is the World Traveler! This guy needs things for on the go that will make their lives a little easier while traveling from day to day. My next guy is the Guy Who Needs Everything, or the “Simple” guy! This is where you can get back to basics and get him all the essentials. My next category is the Man Into Fitness and keeping in shape! Last but not least, is the Sentimental Guy. Get him something personalized like a money clip with engraving, or something with both of your initials on it like these mugs from Target! Needless to say, the Holidays are HERE!! So hurry and get your last minute items NOW!
