Winter White with and Edge

There once stood a rule that was both respected and despised by all monochromatic obsessed women: no white after labor day. I personally have always ignored the "rules of fashion" (a long time lover of navy and black, black and brown and of course, all white) but this silly restriciton has since been acknowledged as overruled by the fashion world.

I think there is something so natural about wearing all white in the winter as long as the textures are appropriate for the season. This white cable knit cropped sweater paired with high-waisted culottes is a little too sweet for my liking, so I toughened it up with a leather jacket fit for the biker in all of us.

Whole 30 Recap

Image
Well, friends, we made it to the end of Whole30. I am the type of person that pretty much will not quit something once I've committed to do it, which is why I really have to do my research before starting something. One of the things that most swayed me to dive into Whole30 with my family was the sheer amount of people willing to share their honest opinion and experience. The greatest resource to me besides the Whole30 book itself was the blog world. While I'm aware if you complete Whole30 following the strict guidelines to a "T" you'll see some immediate benefits, I also know if the lifestyle isn't maintained, the weight and cravings and food habits will return pretty quickly. My husband and I are passionate about giving our family the cleanest, most beneficial foods for our bodies as it is, but there are still some struggles woven in there from a carb lover (hi, nice to meet you) and a serious sweet lover (my husband sends his hello's.) We wanted to...

Above All Else, Guard Your Heart

Okay, y'all. (I have been on a serious y'all kick lately. I would never say it out loud- I would be humiliated. I have never lived in Texas, but I have enough Texas family -Hi Singletary's, Lakes, Beckhams, Foxworths, and Dorans! - to hear it all the time. And so, I've decided I can type it. Another reason I have adopted y'all is because people always call me Hillary.... a la Fresh Prince...when I say 'Okay, guys...') The Spirit has been moving like crazy in me lately as it relates to guarding my heart . I think every believer out there learns in the wee steps of this faith that guarding our heart is crucial. Why? Because 'from it flows the wellsprings of life.' Cool. It sounds really important in  scripture but doesn't feel quite as important as, say, loving our neighbor, repentance, forgiveness, purity, honesty, patience, prayer...and so on. Honestly, it's way at the back of the back of the list for most of us. But Jesus ...

Color Crush: Orange & Grapefruit

Image
Next up on the Citrus Color Crush list are Orange and Grapefruit. Pink and orange together used to seem a little too Lisa Frank for me, (anybody else picturing their unicorn bedazzled binders?) but lately I have warmed up to the duo. As usual, I recommend adding in both orange and grapefruit as a compliment to a neutral outfit, but sometimes a pink and orange dress is just necessary!   Orange: loafers. backpack. sunglasses. (similar) hat. earrings. heels. nail polish. clutch. dress.   Grapefruit: sunglasses. nail polish. body oil. camera. wallet. sandals. lingerie. clutch. heels. jumpsuit.   Pair: clutch. perfume. lipstick. espadrilles. bra. note pad. body cream. necklace. dress.
