Hey there…so here’s the deal. I have been eyeing a Burberry coat for some time now. It is hard to find another coat with the same amount of detail and trim/slim lines. Finally — we are going to have a real winter season in Georgia…meaning (at least) cold weather in the 30’s.

The past few years have been so mild that I didn’t even need a heavy coat. I can’t say I am excited about the colder weather, but I am excited about this coat! Here is another brand that has a similar option as the Burberry one, but for a tad-bit cheaper.

This felicity & coco pencil dress is the perfect foundation dress for different scarves and statement necklaces, like this one from BP I just purchased a week ago. Everything I am wearing (minus my heels) is from my local Nordstrom store.

Have a fabulous week & Shop the Post:

The Year-Round Dress…

I love this dress because it is wearable year-round’. I like black & navy together + the slimming black trim around the waist + feminine lace detail; it is perfect for holiday parties, cocktail and wedding parties, or anywhere you want to err on the conservative side without being boring. I like this brand’s price point, as well. Shop all Eliza J dresses here at Nordstrom.

I actually wore this dress just last night to a Southern wedding in Lexington, North Carolina, which took place at the local Baptist church. When I am with family in a southern church, playing it safe and not showing up looking like Romy and Michelle’s Highschool Reunion is best.

Hi there friends!! After a little blogging hiatus…I am back. I took some time off to get moved into our place in Atlanta and start my new job. I am back working in retail commercial real estate and I couldn’t be more excited!

I will still be blogging and posting my favorites from fashion, travel, and organic beauty, so stay tuned. I think the break was good for me in the sense that I could really think about what I want to do in the coming year.

I have become really passionate about all-natural beauty and clean living and domestic travel that highlights boutique hotels with character. I will continue to let fashion drive the blog, but would also like to now focus on the latter two categories in more depth. However, this has not come without sacrifice.

I have had to turn down many paid sponsorships with brands that do not represent my philosophy on what is considered “healthy beauty.” I feel like being authentic and true to what I believe in, will in the long-run, earn the respect of my followers.

Please continue to leave your comments and let me know what you think…I love hearing from you guys and helping you navigate the fashion & beauty jungle!
