a beautiful year

What does beauty mean to you? Can something be irregular and beautiful? I’ve always found beauty in unexpected things, but recently a article in In Style magazine has me pushing my thoughts of beauty just a bit further. While reading this issue, I came across an article featuring a model smiling with less than perfect teeth, even missing her front tooth. I caught myself thinking why did the company choose her to pose for this article? I felt like I had been brainwashed by perfect pearly whites thinking that she shouldn’t be featured with her imperfect pout. Could I not see her beauty? And then I stopped myself. Beautiful doesn’t have to be this standard of symmetry.

Smiling's My Favorite!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! This time of year brings holiday parties, family traditions, and holiday shopping! When I think about what to get for others, I often think about what I would want to receive and what I personally love. If I love it, chances are my friends and family will too! I’ve compiled a list of 5 of my favorite things, why I love them and where to get them! They’re items I continue to each for and are universal to whatever your personal style may be!

My Outfit Has Got Me Feeling Thankful

The season of thanks is upon us and soon I will be hosting a feast for 28 family members and I couldn’t be more excited. Since I was a kid, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. I love what it stands for, I love the food and we all know I love any opportunity to dress a little nicer than usual.

Evolution

Evolution is the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. No, I’m not about to get all scientific on you, but I think evolution is an extremely relevant topic when talking about ones image and style.

We’ve all evolved, literally as humans. Careers have evolved, styles and fashion have evolved, but in all this change, have you personally evolved?
