Seriously, you guys!

My apartment is upside down from packing and

preparing for a yard sale that we're hoping to sell pretty

much everything we own in. The internet hasn't worked

at my apartment complex in a week. And I've been trying

to get as much time in with friends and family before we

say goodbye to Kentucky. Fingers crossed, posting will

be more regular from me next week and I have some

fabulous bloggers lined up to keep you company during

my actual move. More details to come. Please

just bear with me! :)

to visit the most magical city ever - NYC! It will

be Tyler's first visit and I can't wait to show

him what all the fuss is about! ;)

So today, I'm thrilled to be guest posting

for my fabulous fellow Lexington blogger, Whitley,

of Simply Whit in a Sequined Life! If you like

I love this t-shirt so stinking much.

I bought it for Tyler a while back but, honestly, I think I get

much more wear out of it than he does. It just goes with everything.

I loved pairing it with my new comfy skirt that I picked up at Target

recently. It's such a great, versatile print that I know I'll be remixing

all Spring and Summer long. I'm definitely on the hunt for more

skirts this season. If you have any recommendations be

sure to leave them in the comments below!!

Have a wonderful week guys!!

This colorful tweed skirt practically jumped into my hands

while shopping at Target last week. I know I'm supposed to be cutting

back on my shopping, but this skirt was just destined to be a part of my Easter

look! I just love it and can already think of a million other ways to style

it! Now, if the weather will just stay warm enough..!

Dress // Earrings // Handbag // Shoes

I'm headed out of town to a fun gender reveal party this weekend!
The parents-to-be have instructed us to dress in the color we think the
gender will be. To be honest, I don't feel strongly either way but 'boy' just
seems to be lingering in the back of my mind. So my outfit today is what I'd
love to wear to the party - a blue dress to show my suspicions of it being a
boy but with pops of pink to display my hesitations.

Today's outfit also fits in with our lovely lace theme for this week's
Friday's Fancies! Lace will be a huge part of our Spring and Summer
wardrobes again this year so I'm so excited to be celebrating it again! [In
case you missed it, I used a gorgeous green lace dress here for another
Friday's Fancies and wore a great black lace dress here
when I was 'wedding crashing'.]

Be sure to check out all of the other lace inspired
outfits on Long Distance Loving!

Have an amazing weekend!!

Friday's Fancies: Red + Pink

Row 2:

one // two // three

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday!

Since this holiday happened to fall on a weekday this year, I trust that

many of you will be choosing to celebrate with dinners and dates this weekend. If so, there is no need to get in a tizzy about what to wear because this week for Friday's Fancies we're putting together fun outfits in the red and pink theme that will be perfect for your day! I couldn't help but design my post around some fabulous dresses. I'm a huge fan of dresses but have been in a bit of a rut with them for the last several months. So in honor of Valentine's Day, dresses and the upcoming Spring season, I've put together my dream dress collection. Go ahead, be inspired.

I know I am!

Oh - if you're still in need of gifts to exchange on your dates this weekend, you can check out my gift guides: FOR HER & FOR HIM.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I wanted to make an effort to include some Valentine hues

into each of my looks this week. Yesterday I went for a subtle approach by adding

just a couple pops of fuchsia on my nails and lips - two of my favorite places to add color! Adding green gave the look a slightly preppy vibe and then I added in my favorite color combo - black & white - to keep the whole look balanced. I know it's a little early, but

this outfit is essentially an outfit meant for transitioning into Spring. I'm so ready

for the warmer weather! Is anyone else with me?

Valentine's Day Gift Guide: FOR HER

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas on Opal & Violet

Row 1:
one // two // three
Row 2:
one // two // three
Row 3:
one // two // three

I have to start this out by saying I love Valentine's Day.
I completely understand that it's not for everyone but I think it's so sweet
to have a day to celebrate love. I'm sure there were years in my singleness
that I felt differently, but as I've gotten older I've decided that there are so many
people in our lives that deserve to have their love celebrated than just those that
we might be in a relationship with. So yes, I love love. And with that being said, I
think it's a great idea to show a little token of our love through gifts. Here are a
few of my picks for the ladies! While my hubs and I have taken a different route
for our gifts this year (we bought ourselves tickets to 2 summer concerts: She
& Him and Fall Out Boy) these are the items that I would have loved to have
received! Check back on Wednesday to see my top picks for the guys!

I love adding a few girly accessories to an otherwise

simple (yet so cozy!) outfit. My new pearl ring fits in so well

with my necklace that I've had forever and my pear earrings that I

wore in my wedding. And how about my sweet hair bow that was

handmade by my blogging friend Star from Beauty & Bows?! She is so

talented!! Be sure to check back here tomorrow for a fabulous

giveaway from her! Hint: there will definitely be bows!!

Friday's Fancies: Outfit Crush

Today for Friday's Fancies we're coming up with a fabulous

look inspired by an outfit crush we are just smitten with. Well, it took me

a whole 5 seconds to decide mine would be a look from Annie over at The

Other Side of Gray. Honestly, I could have picked any of her looks out of a hat

and been just as thrilled to recreate it. But in my attempt to wear

more pink this year, I chose this gorgeous ensemble.

via The Other Side of Gray

Coat // Chambray // Jeans // Tee // Boots // Bag // Necklace // Lips

I'm always a big fan of layering and this outfit is basically
layering perfection. Annie has impeccable style so I highly recommend you
pop over to The Other Side of Gray and see for yourself! I haven't really been
shopping much in the last couple of weeks but I'm thinking that might have to
change with the purchase of some new pink accessories - Annie style!

Have a wonderful weekend!!
