This week has been the longest month ever. Monday was a nice day off. We didn’t do too much of anything, but Tuesday? I broke my glasses. Y’all, I cannot see a thing without my glasses. It’s not like I was doing anything rough. I. Was. Cleaning. Them. And they snapped in half. Fortunately, I keep all of my old glasses whenever I get a new pair {I can’t give them my glasses because I need to see} so I…

A few months ago, I was scrolling Instagram and an ad for the sweetest little clothing boutique popped up in my feed. Normally, I don’t click on the ads because I assume they’re for an international company with questionable sizing and product quality buuuuut the items in this ad were so cute I had to look. And I’m so happy that I did. I ended up purchasing two tops from them during my first browse. Why? Because I was super impressed…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Liqueur Cordial Medoc
ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Gray}, Kim {Fierce Fashion Blog}, and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs.

Bleu Wednesday: Her Story
unedited. Nikon D7500 | 15mm | f/5 | 1/125 | ISO – 1000 Sunday, 18 August 2019, 7:40:00 AM edited. Do you remember Wordless Wednesday? It was a big thing when I first started blogging a bizillion light years ago. Bloggers would simply post a picture on Wednesdays. No words. No descriptions. Just a picture. It was a way to practice our photography and update our blogs without the stress of having to come up with full blown content. But, mostly, it was a way to connect and share a moment in our lives. I miss those days. The days before everyone was focused on monetization and accumulating follows.…
