Hi friends,

I wanted to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself! It’s been a little over a year since I started my blog & since then I have gained so many new followers, friends, and fashion fanatics!! There’s so many things about me that y’all probably don’t know.. from my favorite color, to my favorite thing to wear, or my weird hobbies!!  It’s the little things that people don’t know that make us who we really are!! As you read this post, I encourage you to think about the things you enjoy, the people you love, your life goals.. maybe brain storm a bucket list or remind yourself of who you are, where you are going, and what makes you beYOUtiful!!!  I think being unique is what keeps this world going!!!  we’re all different but that’s what’s so great about it! with a little bit of soul searching and guidance from God I have been so lucky and thankful to be where I am today! &&& these are the things that make me, me!!
