Celebration Little Black Dress

Tee: American Eagle, Dress: H&M, Tights: Target, Boots: H&M 
Yesterday Chris got some good news about a job opportunity and we decided to have a celebration dinner. Now usually I go and get all dressed up for no reason, but it was nice to actually feel pretty and dressy with a real reason to celebrate and be happy about. Oh and we just got a cold front out here in Texas and I have been freezing my butt off. So thankful for long sleeve tees, tights, and boots right now.
Happy Weekend!

A Pretty Mix

Stripe Top: Langford Market, Floral Blouse: Target, Jeans: Thrifted, Shoes: Thrifted
How has your 2015 been so far? Mine has been pretty great. Over the weekend I stopped by the post office to pick up the cutest gold flats. Did you see the photo I posted on Instagram? Anyhow, this is what I wore that day while running errands. I've always seen other people pull off the stripes and floral pattern mix effortlessly and I finally feel like I have too with this outfit. Oh 2015, you're looking good so far.
Have you pulled off the floral and stripe mix? What's your favorite pattern mix combo?

Happy New Year & 2014 Favorites

2014 was pretty spectacular. I got married this year and it's definitely the highlight of my entire year. My favorite moment to be exact. I always like looking back at the end of the year to see what I accomplished. These are some of my favorites posts from the blog this year.
 I shared quite a few nail tutorials this year. This floral one was just too pretty.
 Chris built this storage cubby hole stand for me and I painted it. It was a total team effort project.
 This is one of my favorite cakes that my mom bakes. I did my own version of it for the 4th of July.
 Valentines Day is nearly right around the corner. I made these kiss cupcake toppers last year.
 We've been going to Austin at least once a year. I love that place. This was from the first trip of the year.
 If you've been reading the blog for awhile, then you know I'm a cat lady. These rhinestone cat ears definitely makes the top of the list for diy projects I shared this year.
Chocolate dipped bananas are soooo good. I'm completely hooked on these.
 When my sister made my bridal shower cake, I knew I had to recreate it for the blog. It was way too good not to share. Nutella and peanut butter cup cakes...yum.
 I make a bunch of garlands...this floral sequin garland one was a top favorite.
 Chris likes to make margaritas for me from time to time...this tequilla crush one was delicious. 
 My family threw me an amazing bridal shower...i mean just look at the cake?!
 My bridesmaid were the best! I shared this fun thank you idea for them.
 If I'm going to decorate a pumpkin, it's going to be sparkly...gold confetti pumpkin.
 When shark week rolled around this year, I couldn't resist not having cupcakes topped with party sharks. I know sharks are scary but these are pretty cute.
Glitter easter eggs! Anything with glitter makes me happy.
Black cat coasters...meow!
 Can't wait to see how great 2015 will be.
