In the spirit of 'MURICA

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!

Surrounded by all the patriotism and spirit that comes along with this holiday, I felt extremely encouraged to sit down and finally blog. It has been way too long. But as a little teaser, take a gander at my celebration of the land of the free!

I finally got to see Patrick after he got out of work!

We made some S'mores...and dodged the smoke from the fire.

Stars, Stripes & Sparklers... Happy 'Murica Day everyone!

Virtual Christmas List

As usual, my mom's been begging me for a Christmas list. I'm always late giving my list...so why not make a virtual Christmas list? That way I can update it as I have new ideas ;)

Now I'm not saying I'm going to get everything on this list. But a girl can dream right?
Hey Santa.

Monday Inspiration: Holiday Season

Day by day it has been getting colder and colder.

Even though I hate walking around in the cold, nothing makes me happier than snuggling up and being surrounded by friends, family and, of course, HOLIDAY DECOR & SPIRIT!

From fires, to twinkling lights, and anything red...

here are a few things that have just made me smitten about the holidays being around the corner:

{snuggle up by the fire, apartment therapy}

{branches & lights...my favorite, free people}

{perfect red peacoat, atlantic-pacific}

{sleek peacoat, atlantic-pacific}

{holiday party reds, this is glamorous}

This is probably one of my favorite things I have come across so for. I am SOOOO excited to make this DIY eventually, once school eases up.

{fireless fire pit, free people}
