Hiking from Boca de Tomatlan to Las Animas – Mexico part 2
Before going to Puerto Vallarta I did a lot of searching to find activities to do outside the city. Puerto Vallarta is definitely a resort city full of retirees, so finding something low key was pretty hard. I found a good bit of reviews and posts about a hike from Boca to Animas. Mostly, all the post were from 2014 and not the most up to date. That being said, the hike is not as secluded as it used to be and we passed multiple groups of people. However, Colin and I both agree this hike made the trip to Puerto Vallarta. We took a bus from our place (about 15…

Velvet blazer
Zara always has some major sale going on and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to not get this blazer. I’ve been wanting a velvet blazer for some time, however, blazers are so hard to find that fit properly and aren’t over expensive! I took a chance and bought this one since it was under half the price it was original. And I love it! I took these photos before leaving on Vacation, so it’s much warmer now 🙂

Boyfriend coat
When I shared this look on Instagram, it received great feedback. So, I wanted to share it here where you can shop the look below. When I first saw it online I wasn’t too sure I would like it. I have such a love/hate relationship with anything boyfriend fit. I actually came back two days later to give it a try and I’m glad I did! I’ve been wearing this boyfriend coat non-stop lately. The fit is easily dressed up for the office or down for a day of errands and a plus its not too heavy!

The great winter storm
coffee is always a must on snow days! We don’t have many snow storms in the south, so when Colin and I found out we were going to have one we had to go to the mountains. We left Friday after work and drove to the cabin. It didn’t start snowing until we were 20 minutes away and it really started to come down. There was already an inch on the ground when we arrive and headed out to dinner. The next day we headed into Asheville bright and early, actually before the sun even came up. It was still snowing and there was over 5 inches on the ground…

Here’s to 2017!!
After looking through pictures from 2016, i’ve realized all the things I forgot happen during the year. I found myself saying “that was this year?!?” multiple times. Besides all the unfortunate events that happen this year, I found 2016 to be one of my most successful. Even though I created my blog at the end of 2015, I became more engaged and decided to stick with it through the ups and down this year. I also started 2016 out amazing by stepping out of my comfort zone and taking a trip to China. I’ve always been interested in traveling, but this trip started the spark to travel to many more…

Christmas 2016
I cannot believe Christmas has passed already! This year Colin and I spent Christmas morning in Charleston with his family. Colin’s family is huge compared to mine, so it can be a bit hectic at times. However, I always enjoy getting together with his family, it’s like a small reunion because they all live allover and are very different from each other. The first night there Colin and I cooked dinner for 15 people, even though I enjoy cooking it was a lot of work and took 5 hours! The next day Colin’s mom rented a carriage ride for the whole family to take around Charleston. On Christmas eve, at…

Shiny Knits
December has to be the most unpredictable month of the year in the south. Just the other day I was walking around the block in my workout shorts and now the weather is saying we are going to be getting freezing rain this weekend. I never know what to wear until I step outside in the mornings and the most frustrating is not being able to store my summer clothes away, because I might need them tomorrow! Anyway, while trying to organize my summer and winter clothes, I found this knit sweater dress I bought from MINKPINK (similar) during the Summer. I decided to dress it down a bit because…

Charleston pt. 2
To tell the truth, I originally bought this sweater dress thinking it was just a chunky sweater. But I guess that’s what I get for not wanting to try anything on! Personally, I hate trying clothes on it the store, especially during the colder months when there are three layers to take off! However, I am loving how this look turned out. I’ve also been loving these over the knee boots lately, I’ve been wearing them almost every chance I get! Maybe a bit too much 😉

Charleston pt. 1
When is the Fall weather going to get here?! I’m pretty sad I haven’t been able to wear a coat or layer yet! While we were in Charleston, I was hoping it would have been a bit more chiller because of the sea breeze, sadly it was just as warm as Charlotte 🙁 Colin’s parents still live in Charleston, so we visit a good bit. We are such fans of this city and Colin keeps trying to talk me into moving there. Every time we visit, we try not to ever eat at the same place twice. That gets harder when coffee is involved, we are both very picky when it…

Flowers for Fall
It’s finally becoming cool outside, so i’m making sure I get the most out of my summer styles. However, I believe a lot of styles summer styles can still work for Fall if you style them right! October is such a busy and exciting month for us! Two of my friends are getting married and my brother, in South Korea! Sadly, I won’t be able to attend, but I look forward to hearing all about it and seeing the pictures of my new family. I also have a small vacation planned for us, that includes a lot of food and wine! There is not a weekend I am free this month…
