I love personal style because it is a way we can communicate ourselves to other people. I like getting dressed up because it makes me feel like a star!

See my wonderful mix of blush, neutral and nude tones and read about my latest challenges on Instagram, social media and how I overcame them.

I have brought together some of the chicest and luxury items that won’t break the bank, but will totally get that wow factor from your wife, girlfriend, mother or any special person in your life!

It is crazy to think that 9 months of this year was spent during a deployment. Ever since Scott got back from Iraq, we have been attached at the hip! While he was gone we missed many holidays, birthdays, and weddings. That’s the nature of the military – your spouse being away during quality family time. There are thousands of soldiers who are currently deployed and will not be able to be home during this holiday season. Since I know what it’s like having a deployed soldier, I also have an idea of what goodies to send during a deployment. I’m sure any deployed soldier would agree with me; pretty much anything beats the same old food they serve up at the dining hall.

Ooooh la la!

What a dream come true to work with Chanel! I had a pinch-me moment while opening my package full of makeup goodies. Obviously, I am a huge fan of Chanel not only because of their innovative runway designs, but also their impeccable makeup! From Haute Couture, to the it-bag, to gorgeous perfumes and iconic bottles – is there anything Chanel can’t do? I have used a few Chanel Beauty products before, but I’m excited to try out their mascara products and eye shadow palette for the first time. Below you will see the products outlined in a flatlay setting, and also what they look like applied on yours truly! I have also wrote a brief description of each product so you get an idea of the wear, feel and formula.

The best time to wear a cozy sweater… is all the time! I love the off-the-shoulder aspect of this sweater, and the fact that it slouches in the most perfect places. The best part is that it comes in 12 colors!
