Expat Thanksgiving

Holiday's away from home by yourself can be lonely. Thankfully I got to enjoy all the fun of Thanksgiving with my family, but without any of the calories!

New Year's Re-SEW-loution: August


What a journey it's been!

Since I'm moving very soon, the remainder of my re-sew-loution has been put on hold until further notice.

This month's project went off without a hitch — I did it 100% on my own! Talk about ending on a high note!

Militar-SHE

I had a little shopping spree at Target to pick up some need-for-London items, and that haul 4 of the items of clothing the same shade of green.

The cashier even pointed out, "you must like this color" to which I responded, "yes, it brings out my eyes."

These pants were one of them.

Extra, Extra — RA2

According to my top hop, this time last year was my first time on a set!

Oh boy what an interesting experience that was..

Hat Trick

I've never been much of a hat wearer.

Unless it's a baseball cap while shark fishing or doing outside work (which we know never happens), or a big ole sunhat at the beach, my head has been naked as a jaybird.

New Year's Re-SEW-loution: July

I've always been good friends with procrastination.... Thankfully I'm the smarter, faster, and prettier one.

I tried to do this project by myself but I ended up making a huge mistake in the beginning (which I didn't realize until much later) that got things off to a bad start.

Beached Blue

I'm heading to the beach soon for our annual beach trip and this dress will certainly be in my overpacked suitcase.

It's perfect for strolling down the beach, around the resort, or down the streets of Charleston.

New Year's Re-SEW-loution: June

Thankfully June was much nicer to me than May was!

I tackled a wrap/envelope skirt and it's really very simple to make... I guess you could say I skirted through it?

Transitional Hybrid

Before the weather became stupid hot, there was a very small window consisting of beautiful blue skies and perfect temperatures. 

I love that time of year, mostly for the temperatures, but mainly because the options of what to wear encompasses my entire wardrobe. Tank tops and pants, shorts and long sleeves, boots or sandals, and layers.

Trouser Trooping

I have no clue who the other people are under the masks!
Since the Trooping of the Colour is taking place in London this weekend, I thought I'd take a stroll down memory lane and revisit one of my most memorable (and slightly questionable) looks, which took place at the 2012 Trooping of the Colour.

But first a little background:

New Year's Re-SEW-loution: May

This month's project has certainly been an interesting one.

This seemingly simple-to-make dress hit so many road bumps along the way, I'm surprised I still have my sanity. But unforeseen moments and soul crushing roadblocks make for good video.

Speaking of, the video is longer than usual because so. many. things. happened while making this dress, and luckily, they were all caught on camera!

Redded Bliss

My family welcomed a new member to our clan this April when my brother got married!

As I've previously mentioned, special occasions are cause for a new outfit, and being sister-of-the-groom is a pretty darn good excuse!

But that doesn't mean it's easy!

Maxi-mizing

Maxi skirts.

The fancy yoga pant.

We all have them.

We all wear them.

Year round.

Royally Speaking

If you happen to live under a rock and haven't heard, the royal baby has arrived and

it's a girl!

Her name has yet to be released but the world is ecstatic!

Tackonista



It's not always easy being a fashionista.

We have our less than fabulous moments but often it's because we're making the rare decision to choose comfort in some or fashion.

For me, those days are either when I'm home with plans for the day (I absolutely hate wasting a cute outfit on a day on the couch) or when I'm on set in a dress.

Bangle Jangle

Outfits aren't complete without accessories and I have been wearing these bangles with just about everything.

These bangles are a complete set, meaning they came together. Some are even attached via the dangling charm.

These were a gift (I don't remember if it was for Christmas or my birthday... I opened them at the same time!) from my best friend. I remember her telling me she liked them so much after she got them for me she went back and got a set for herself!

Red Carpet Rundown: 2015 MTV Movie Awards

Stars stepped out on to the blue carpet for last night's MTV Movie Awards, hosted by Amy Schumer.

Without further adieu, let's take a look!

Summer Shimmer

Ah, the most wonderful time of the year has finally arrived. 

It's not quite warm enough to wear shorts and a tank top all day, but balancing one or the other with a winter garment (like pants or long sleeve shirt) and you're golden.

Something Blue

In just a couple of days my brother will be a married man. 




Hard to believe he found someone willing to put up with him! Ha! 

With weddings come showers. With showers come outings needing cute outfits.

Cut Rate Chic

Holy moly I am loving this weather.

I'm currently sitting outside, resting my feet on our new fire pit enjoying the buzz of the bugs (I use the term "enjoying" loosely. As long as they don't land/crawl on me they're OK) and watching Bogart frolic in the grass and warm his belly in the sunshine.

The skies are blue.

The weather is warm enough to wear light layers but cool enough to not sweat the instant you start thinking about venturing outside.
