I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

Thank goodness for spring. 🌸 2026 has been kin Thank goodness for spring. 🌸

2026 has been kind of a weird, wild ride so far, but full of good things. I started a new job! And that has taken up a lot of my time (in a good way), so I’ve been a little bit quiet around here.

I’m trying as hard as I can to prioritize myself more these days. Finally went to the doctor and did some blood work. Turns out, I’m severely anemic. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better and little more awake after I start my iron. 😅 Maybe I can lay off the coffee a little bit. (J/k)

I can’t believe it’s almost April after we went through 3 years of January, but I’m not mad about it! Ready to relax outside on patios with family/friends and enjoy our kiddos running around. We made it. 🖤

What I Wore · October 16, 2011

Forest of Leaves

Nate and I planned to go to the pumpkin patch today but it just wasn’t the weather that I was hoping for. An insanely windy 80 degrees is just not what I envisioned for my first time at a pumpkin patch! It’s supposed to be all crisp cool weather, hot apple cider, bundled layers, and hayride cuddles. Right? I guess we could have gone anyway, but I loathe wind… no seriously. I hate wind. I have a lot of hair and it gets in my face and makes me crazy. I could just see myself trying to pick out pumpkins whilst being half blinded my by hair and annoyed that it was hot outside. I sound like the prissiest little priss right now don’t I? If these are the extent of my woes today I suppose I can count myself a pretty blessed lady! So anyway, we had a delicious lunch over at my In-Law’s house and afterward we decided to stop off at a park since I happened to have all of my camera gear with me. Not a pumpkin patch, but still a fun new scene!

Forest of Leaves
Creepy-me is creeping. Halloween inspired creepiness.

The neckline on this vintage dress is so sweet. I love the white square collar with with the three little matching buttons. I happened upon it when Brittany and I went thrifting a little while back and I knew I had to have it. I mean for six dollars, how could I leave such a pretty dress there? I’m such a bargain shopper and a $6 dress literally gave me such a shopping high. ;]

These boots and these tights were made for each other. This is actually two pair of tights together- but I ripped the mustard tights so the lace overlay hid the rip. Tada! I love, love, love the heel on these boots. I’ve been wanting a new pair of black boots for a long time, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted something flat and comfy with possibly some added warmth OR if I wanted a bit of a heel with more style and flair. Well guess what? I didn’t have to chose between any of those things. These boots have the heel, the comfort, and the warmth. I have no idea how Blowfish managed to create shoes with a heel that don’t kill your feet, but they’ve done it over and over. I love these most because I feel like I can dress them way up and also wear them super casually.

This has been an overall pretty good weekend. You’ll hear more about it in tomorrow’s 365 round up! I’ve let a few days go by again without posting! But sometimes it’s just easier that way. I hope you all have a great end to your weekend- I’m currently laid up on the couch breathing out of my mouth. My allergies came full force today and I’ve literally been sitting on the couch since the early afternoon! Goodnight friends!

    for the first photo, to add some extra creek factor to it, you should have posed at the tree, then there would have been 3 of you.

    Oh my goodness, I'm SO with you!! I hate the wind too. My hair gets caught in my lip gloss, which drives me nuts, and bangs are pretty much a no go! I feel your pain!! Haha, thanks for letting me get that out. 😉

    Also, this dress is so adorable and wow the price is amazing. I'm loving the print and those sweet little buttons. Beautifully put together!! And yay for Blowfish shoes they are seriously the best! xo veronika

    Love the look! Also, I can't say I blame you for not wanting to go to a pumpkin patch in 80 degree weather. Some activities are meant for crisp, fall air.
