2019 Fall Bucket List

Fall Bucket List

Does anyone find, when the summer is over everything restarts? Fall is the time when we get our stuff in order and figure out what we want to do with the chilly weather. Fall is the best (next to summer) for outdoor things and doesn’t let me forget about all the cute fall looks we are all excited about. 

Today I wanted to share with you what I want to do in the fall months

Plan Your Day with Emily Ley

Plan Your Day with Emily Ley

I would consider myself the be the type of person that can just fly by the seat of my pants. I am able to get things done but the unnecessary stress it takes… OMG, I can’t continue to have this chaotic type of life. So I did what most people would, I bought a planner.

No surprise, I actually buy a planner every year. If you go though them, some have been used others have mass amounts of blank…

Sweat the Small Stuff

Sweat the Small Stuff

I am a firm believer that we should always try to look our best and present our best self to the world. In my opinion that does not mean we have to walk out of the house in full on glam makeup. It does mean, you can’t run to the store in your pajamas without brushing your teeth.

Honestly, I don’t get dressed every day, and one of my favorite things to wear is sweat pants. I am ashamed to tell…

Waiting for Warm Weather

Waiting for Warm Weather

This morning while opening all the windows in my home. I thought to myself, I’m so happy it is not 20 degrees outside right now. After this thought passed my mind, I remembered that typically this time of year I am usually trying to rush the season so that I can be comfortable outdoors in shorts and a tee shirt, which is my favorite weather.

Spring Jackets are my favorite.

It’s important…

How to Dress Well on a Budget

How to Dress Well on a Budget

If you’ve ever spent a short amount of time on Instagram, or dare I say, get sucked down the Pinterest rabbit hole, I am 100% sure you have come across a fashion blogger or even just a person with really good style. Most people I know think, I would never spend that amount of money on that bag, or those shoes. Which leave them asking the question…

“How can I dress well, without spending a lot…

Wearing All Black

I love jackets! They may be my favorite item of clothing. But this time of year when we are rushing the spring weather, I like to breakout my lighter jacket. I found this jacket back during the fall Nordstrom Anniversary.

When I saw this jacket I really loved it because it fit well with my style. Over the last couple of years I have really had a love for all black outfits. I love the way they…

Spring Layers

Once the weather starts to warm of I get really excited about wearing my layers. Putting away my big bulky coats is like a summers dream come true. It’s really hard for me to not rush into wearing light spring jackets but I am really looking forward to it.

When you are moving into the warmer weather it’s tough not to throw on shorts and sandals. Take this time to wear some of the layers you…

Now that we are in the thick of winter I plan to spend a lot of time relaxing indoors watching TV. These types of evenings in my house call for cozy loungewear. I love love love pajama sets that make laying around the house feel luxurious.

I have a rule for myself (not really but we gonna go with it) I attempt to wear actual clothes…

Wearing a Cami

The casual basic you need in your closet!

Cami: Express ~ Jeans: Old Navy ~ Cami: Target similar here and here ~ Shoes: Steve Madden

A cami is that perfect top that can be worn for layering under items of clothing. I would consider this is be a basic that should be in every woman’s wardrobe. Most people like to layer camis but you can also wear it on it’s own. I find them to go great with various looks. Under a cardigan, alone with…

Date Night Ideas

Dream out the future. Take a walk through model homes imagining about what your future will be like.

Go sightseeing in your city. We always tend to take advantage of the sites we have in our own backyard.

Have an indoor picnic. I’ve always wanted to have an indoor picnic, but we usually just eat on the couch and that turns into our picnic.

Turn your dining room into a highend restaurant. Most of…

Valentine's Day Outfit Roundup

Valentine’s Day Outfit Roundup

It’s Love Week! Today I’m sharing with you a few looks that would be perfect for date night.

We are having a dance, but we are making time to go to a comedy show that I am so excited about. Make sure you are following me on Instagram. I don’t know what I’m wearing but I will most likely…

How to Find Deals

In today's post I am sharing a few ways to find deals on your clothes.

I purchased this amazing coat back in August. I have been waiting and waiting for the weather to get cold enough to wear this coat. Fun story about this coat, I found it at T.J. Maxx but I was planning to purchase a jacket just like this from Nordstrom. I got this one for much less of course. Today I want to share with you how to find deals on clothes.

Shop around. If you are shopping…

My Favorite Sequin Skirt

I just love sequins!!!!!!!

I love this time of year, simply because of the sequins. If it’s not sequins it’s the metallics, or the sparkles… I just love it! This is an old outfit I contemplated posting again this year. I decided to post it because – why not! It’s cute and sparkly, perfect for this time of year.

What’s something you look forward to wearing each holiday season.
