I’ve spent most of this week in bed sleeping so I’ve gotten a bit behind on editing photos and posting, but fingers crossed I kick this cold by the weekend and will be back to regular programming by Monday.
I hope the first week of 2018 is treating you well and stay healthy friends!
P.S. Shop my sweater here!
I first styled these pants on the blog last week, and today wanted to share how I remixed them into this monochromatic ensemble. It was a lot of fun to play with the different shades of gray to create this look, which I felt gave the overall outfit interesting depth and texture.

I’ll admit, it’s been a bit tricky trying to find a good rhythm over the past month since there has been so much transition in my life lately, but luckily this past Saturday, my Dad I decided to carve out some time to head into downtown Ballard and take some much needed outfit photos. Photographing fall clothing and content is always my favorite and I left feeling energized and inspired, which felt so great.
One of the issues right now is that I don’t have all of my clothes with me since I am popping back and forth between the coasts at the moment. So I had to work with the limited pieces I have with me, which luckily included this cozy, cream colored chunky knit. It’s old and from Zara but it’s still my favorite. For this look, I wanted to go a bit more casual, so I chose to throw on a button down underneath for a fun layering aspect along with my favorite distressed jeans, and my trusty Danskos to tie it all together!

Hi everyone! Lately, I haven’t been embedding my YouTube videos on the blog, but because I am doing major catch up right now, I wanted to at least share this Get Ready With Me video with you guys in case you wanted to see how I did my makeup on the cruise press trip!
BUT, first off, I want to write a huge DISCLAIMER about something…I had NO idea that the background music would be SO loud! Because I had some issues with the format of this video, it definitely didn’t sound like that when I was editing it, so I apologize if you can’t hear me over the music or if it’s just plain distracting. That was definitely not my intention.
Luckily, it’s a visual breakdown of me getting ready and fairly self-explanatory, so if you would prefer, just turn the sound off! :) You can check out all the products I used, which are linked below and follow along that way if you’d like.
Anyway, thanks for your patience with these silly glitches, but hey you live and you learn right?! :)
Ok, so now onto what this video is actually about! I was lucky enough to go on a press trip with Celebrity Cruises for a week long excursion to the Caribbean.
It was so much fun and I am actually in the midst of editing my travel vlog, which documents the whole trip, so stayed tuned for that to come soon.
The night I created this video, we head up to the very top deck to The Lawn Club Grille for dinner where we proceeded to participate in a pizza making competition! I actually ended up winning with my pepperoni, caramelized onions and mushroom combination! It was SO fun.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to share how I wore my makeup during the cruise as well as what I wore to that dinner. :) Hope you enjoy, don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you liked it, and leave any questions you might have, below! Hugs and happy Friday! xo

Lately, I have been loving what the Gap has to offer. Plus, they usually have great sales. Case in point: I recently picked up these cute Pleated Railroad Jeans for about $24. I loved them so much I decided to conduct a mini remix challenge for myself. After-all, it’s been some time since I did a serious remix, so I played around in my closet for a bit and came up with three looks. I will be posting them later today, so stay tuned!
