The Classy Woman

This past Sunday was such a special day for our family as Paul and I had the honor of dedicating our sweet baby girl Lily to the Lord! Although we had already done so privately the day she was born as my husband had lifted her up to God, we wanted to do it publicly and were so happy that her grandparents could join us. I think my favorite part of the day was watching Lily dance and twirl in the front row while holding my hands during praise and worship as she usually does. For this ceremony, we chose a church that was not actually our home church as the Pastor is a personal friend of my husband's and he had prophesied a year ago that Lily would be a worship leader one day and encouraged us to play worship music for her often as she really enjoys it. He was definitely accurate-music is one of her favorite things to do and she asks to listen to the radio and 'dan' (dance) every day. After a lot of rain everyday here for the past few weeks we were so grateful to have the most ...

1  //   2  //   3  //   4  //   5  //   6  //   7  //   8 There's something so nostalgic for me about back to school time. Even though it's been a while since I've been in school myself and Lily is still too young as she's just shy of 2 years old, each year I love seeing all of the cooler weather fall fashion in stores, aisles of school supplies and the anticipation knowing cozy sweater weather (with a pumpkin latte in hand) is just around the corner! It also brings back happy memories for me of forming new friendships and the excitement of a new year ahead. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward on their first day back to school whether they're in Elementary School or heading off to University. While skinny jeans , a stylish top and a cute pair of boots /shoes are basics for back to school attire when it comes to young ladies, it's the accessorizing and finishing touches that set one apart from their c...

Recently, I had the opportunity to take the Body by Victoria Challenge using the Angel Bra Guide which is a quiz to help determine your perfect bra size. Based upon those results, I received (and am reviewing) 3 Victoria's Secrets bras, including one from their all-new lounge collection and all I can say is they fit like a dream! You can also take this quiz to find our your perfect bra size! First, I took the quiz to determine my best fitting bra size which was done by wearing a regular structured bra that I currently own and answering questions on what's is and isn't working for me, in the end it revealed that instead of my usual size that I've worn for years, that my best fit was in fact a cup size larger and a band size smaller. You're asked to choose answers based on how your current bras fit in terms of straps that stay put vs. slide off your shoulders, how tight or lose the band is after making adjustments and if there are gaps in the cups, etc. I was excite...

As you've probably gathered from my posts during the past couple months, now that summer is here I've gravitated towards putting together more light-hearted posts. Every month I focus on fashion for that specific moment, however since there are so many amazing items to still be had at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (which offers both new fall arrivals as well as summer favorites), I thought I would include a mix of both for July as it is the month where Fall pieces start to make their debut in stores as we prepare for the new season. These are all pieces that I do (or would) wear and you can mouse over each image for the price. I'm a bit obsessed with this hat right now which is such a steal at under $38 and has received 5 star reviews on fit and quality and has a couple color options. Although a lo...

1  //   2  //   3  //   4  //   5  //   6  //   7  //   8  //   9 Since most people gravitate towards the Fall fashion when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale takes place each year, I thought I'd take a moment to focus on some neutral home decor that they offer. All of these pieces listed are included in the sale which is running until Aug.2nd. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find my big #nsale post with all of my fall fashion favorites here. If you've been following my blog for a while then you probably know that I'm an Interior Designer . While I work with clients who have a variety of different design styles, one thing that I try to encourage for longevity sake is incorporating classic neutrals for a timeless look. Neutrals will never go out of style and easily coordinate with a variety of colors and patterns. One of my favorite neutrals is gold as an accent. I love this gold mirrored bar cart ...

I hope you're having a great week. I hope you all don't mind but I'm switching gears a bit today. Although it's been nearly two years since I gave birth to my sweet Lily Evangeline (seriously, where does the time go?), I have been meaning for months to share with you my most trusted and highly recommended baby and toddler products. There are a few that I get both compliments on and questions about all the time in person as well as online, so I want to begin with one of them today. As a new mom, trying to figure out which necessities are best for your baby, budget as well as your own lifestyle can be overwhelming and involves a bit of trial and error, but if you're like me, you rely on reviews from others experienced mamas to help narrow down your search and make the process a bit easier so you're not wasting money and time on products that don't perform or stand the test of time. Today, I'm reviewing the Skip Hop Versa Diaper Bag . I began my baby regist...
