 Happy Monday!

Wow, I feel like I haven't blogged in ages and with the holiday's and visiting with friends and family, it has been impossible to do much in general.

Today's outfit was taken several weeks ago {hint, no snow}. I actually totally forgot I even had this outfit on my camera. Looking at these picture's makes me not want snow anymore. I seriously had enough of this white stuff and I just want spring to be here asap! Ever since I bought these booties, I haven't been able to take them off. I just love these and they go with so much. I am getting tired of wearing dark pants that I wanted to wear something bright but still make it winter appropriate.

Have a great Monday everyone and thank you so much for stopping by, xo!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS








Sweater- H&M Similar || Jeans- Guess || Coat- Similar here and here || Shoes- Similar here and here || Glasses- Rayban || Lips- Here

Sorry I have been a little MIA with blogging and Instagram lately. We had a really bad freezing rain storm on Friday and Saturday that left many homes without power {including mine}. I finally ended up getting power late Sunday night and the power was on and off all Monday. It was brutal and I am still cranky lol. There are still a lot of people without power and some won't get power until the weekend which leaves Christmas Day a nightmare for some. I am crossing my fingers that my power stays on for good.

These pictures were taken last week as I knew we were getting this storm. I am loving this red sweater that I got from H&M about a month ago. It is the warmest sweater and I love pairing it with jeans and heels but I also love wearing it with leggings and boots as well. I have had this coat for years and I love pairing it with heavy wool and knit sweaters and leaving the coat undone instead of buttoning it up.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas with your friends and family!
Happy Holidays Everyone and Merry Christmas!

HOW TO STYLE: LEOPARD LEGGINGS








Dress- Cynthia Rowley Similar here and Here || Leggings- Here || Booties- Here || Necklace- Love this || Earrings- Pearls || Lips- Here || Watch- Guess Similar || Bag- Vintage {my moms}

Today I am so excited to be teaming up with the gorgeous Barbie from one of my favorite daily reads The Parlor Girl. We thought it would be really fun to show you our individual styles on how to style leopard leggings. There are so many different ways you can style and pair leopard leggings and I love how Barbie had fun with her outfit and incorporated her personal style. Her outfit is causal but yet girly and she is totally rocking this whole look. This girl always looks good in a hat and her style is always a favorite of mine. She is such a doll.

There are so many outfits that come to mind when styling these leggings. I chose to pair mine with a sweater dress {which is super warm and comfortable by the way}, my booties which I have been totally obsessed with as of late and I finished everything off with a few accessories and a red lip to keep it classy.

 Make sure to head on over to Barbie's blog The Parlor Girl to check out all of her outfit details...

CHOOSING THE RIGHT HAIRBRUSH




When it comes to hairbrushes and combs, you probably only need at least 2-3 different brushes. Choosing the right brush and/or comb all depends on your hair type and how you style your hair on a regular basis.

The following are a list of hairbrushes for the every day girl...

Detangling Hairbrush or Wide Tooth Comb: This brush and comb is great for detangling wet hair.

Paddle Brush: This is a multitasking brush that is great for detangling hair, adds volume to the crown while blow drying and this brush also gives a smooth blowout.

Boar Bristle Oval Cushioned Brush: Boar brushes are made out of natural boar bristles which allows the natural oils on the hair to be distributed evenly throughout the hair from roots to ends. This brush is great for just about anything from combing your hair, smoothing out flyaways, brushing out curls to create loose waves and even teasing. Using this brush minimizes breakage, split ends and is great for detangling.

Small Boar Bristle Brush: Used for teasing {back combing hair} and great for taming flyaways and bangs.

Boar or Nylon Bristle Metal Brush: This brush is versatile for straight and curly haired gals. For thick straight hair, this is great for adding curl to your hair and for thick curly hair, it's great for creating tension

Bristle Round Brush: This brush is great for adding waves to the hair as well as bounce and shine during your blowout. It's also great for adding volume to side bangs.

Ceramic or Metal Round Brush: This is a vented brush that allows air to pass through the brush to allow air flow to circulate at root level, speeding up drying time from any angle. The metal brush heats up allowing you to be able to curl your hair without a curling iron.

Rat Tail Comb: This comb can be used to part hair with the pointed handle, used to tease hair and it's also used for finishing and styling the hair as well.

Types of Brushes that I use:

Wide Tooth Comb
To comb out and detangle my wet hair

Boar Bristle Oval Cushioned Brush
My hair is naturally pretty oily but my ends are drier. I love to use this brush because it allows the natural oils to be distributed down the hair shaft to the ends of the hair where my hair is drier. I did a post on Boar Bristle Brushes. You can read all about it here.

Bristle Round Brush
I love to use this brush to give my hair volume and body

Teasing Brush
 I tend to back comb the crown of my hair to add volume and I also use this brush to tease my hair for certain hairstyles as well.

Happy Friday!

It's absolutely freezing here. It's been -8 for a few day's now and is going to drop even more over the weekend. This is one of my favorite outfits to wear when it's really cold outside. I did take my winter coat off for these pictures, so incase you were all wondering, YES I do wear a winter coat lol. There is absolutely no way that I couldn't wear one when it's this cold outside. When it's freezing out, I like to dress comfy and warm. There is nothing worse than dressing up and being cold and uncomfortable. It's the WORST feeling ever!

Can you believe Christmas is in 12 day's? I am happy to say that I am done my Christmas shopping, YAY!!!! Are you guy's almost done your shopping?

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great weekend, xo!!

GIFT GUIDE FOR YOUR MAN



1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

Is it just me, or is it a lot easier to buy for a guy than it is for a girl? I always have tones of idea's that I can get my boyfriend but then he can be really hard to buy for at times as well. When he needs something he normally just goes out and buy's it but then there are certain items that he wont buy that he rather get as a gift instead, which always leaves me with a tone of gift ideas for Christmas, Birthday's and our Anniversary of course.

Are your mans like that too?

TARGET STYLE








 Dress- Target || Booties- Target || Tights- Target || Belt- Target and love this || Lips- MAC || Earrings- Pearls

 When I was putting this outfit together I realized that the whole outfit was from Target.
This has been my favorite dress to wear since I bought it and I love pairing it with these booties. These booties are so comfortable and have been wearing them a tone even with jeans and leggings. I wanted to add a pop of colour to the look and I did that by adding a raspberry coloured belt to break up the black and grey and I matched my lip colour to the belt as well. I would have worn a berry colour polish on my nails also but since I have been giving my nails a break lately I skipped on the polish.

Thank you so much for stopping by, xo!!

Happy Friday!

 I was going through my closets the other day and I was getting rid of some clothes that I don't wear anymore. I usually do this about two times a year to make room for new clothes. My frame of mind is if you haven't worn something within six months to a year then you probably won't wear it again. I have a few pieces in my closet that I wouldn't wear again but I don't have the heart to give them away as I always think I might wear it again. These pieces are usually either expensive or were given to me as a gift. I don't know, maybe I am just being too sentimental. One day they will be gone for good lol!

Anyways, I came across these boots that I got from Aldo a few years back. They were tucked away in the back of my closet and forgot all about them. I tried them on and fell in love with them all over again, don't you love when that happens? I certainty do!!

Have an amazing weekend everyone and thank you so much for being so supportive and sweet, xo!!

KEEPING IT NEUTRAL





Sweater- Jacob {Old} Similar || Pants- American Eagle {Old} Similar and on sale || Boots- Aldo {Old} Similar || Scarf {Old} Love this || Sunglasses- Rayban || Bag- Guess {Old} Want this || Lips- MAC
 
 As much as I like to dress in color {which is a must during the colder months}, neutrals are usually a go to during the winter. I don't wear a whole lot of black and brown in the warmer months so now that it's colder, I am taking advantage and getting some use out of my "neutral" side of the closet.
 
I really love this outfit because it's casual but classy at the same time, so it's best of both worlds!
 
Thank you so much for all of your comments, you guy's are so sweet, xo!!
