AMAZING Modern Farmhouse Bedroom Makeover!

modern farmhouse makeover

When my mom asked me to make over her guest room into a beautiful little modern farmhouse haven, I was jumping for joy! I LOVE farmhouse home decor, as you may know. The only problem is, I have no need for anything new in my house so I don’t often get to explore this passion of mine. This was the perfect opportunity to do some shopping and get creative! There is a little back story to this room and why its makeover was so special to my mother. You see, not too long ago, Continue Reading…

Spring Shoe Trend: Oxfords & Derby Shoes!

Oxford and derby shoes

It’s safe to say that the mule trend may have some competition this Spring! I have been seeing Derby and Oxford shoes everywhere these days! From high-end to low-end, there are options far and wide when it comes to this style of shoe. I will never forget late summer/pre-fall, I fell in love with these Stella McCartney platform oxfords but fell instantly out of love withContinue Reading…

My First Visit to Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria

Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria

Perhaps my most anticipated blog post is finally here! Just about 4 months ago, a horrific natural disaster known as Hurricane Maria fell upon the shores of Puerto Rico. My husband and I are both Puerto Rican, therefore we were deeply affected by this hurricane through our families and friends who remain on the island. One cold night in November, in the parking lot of a Walmart (yes, I remember it that well lol), we both looked at one another and decided Continue Reading…

Amazon Farmhouse Decor Finds!

Truth be told, I have been into everything “farmhouse” since as long as I can remember. Growing up my grandma raised animals in her yard and my other family members lived on farms bigger than football fields.

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Her!

In just three short weeks, the day will be here, Valentine’s Day that is! Gone are the days of overpriced flowers and chocolate that will only last but a few days. When I think of Valentine’s Day gifting, I think of thoughtfulness, experiences, and things that I will actually get some use out of 🙂 I am all for celebrating that special loved one(s) each and every day of the year but gifting everyday of the year can get expensive, even the gift of time is expensive these days!  I am a little bit more cliche when it comes to this holiday because I love Continue Reading…

The BEST High Waisted Jeans!

The debate is over, I have finally found my absolute favorite jeans, PERIOD! Growing up I had a hard time finding jeans that would fit me well, my shape is petite with some curves and that meant that most denim that I tried on was either too long, the distressing didn’t line up to my knees, or I had a terrible gap of fabric at my lower back, so frustrating! When I came across these jeans while I was browsing around at Continue Reading…

Splurge vs. Steal: Over the Knee Boots!

Perhaps one of my newest favorite fashion pieces are these Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots! Let’s face it, when you think of over the knee boots, Stuart Weitzman is the first thing that comes to mind! I was super lucky to score these since the “Highland” version of this boot, which is my favorite version, has already been replaced by a newer version. I hunted high and low and finally purchased these last month! The price tag was Continue Reading…
