Today I opened my mailbox and instantly felt my mood lift!!
My first holiday magazine arrived!
I love all holidays but I have to admit that I have a special place in my heart for Christmas. It’s just so gosh darn jolly! I love the decorations, the lights, the merriment, the food, the festivities . . . I could go on forever! Justin actually told me at the dinner table last night that he is ready to consider putting up decorations! I was shocked. Normally he is not so big on decorating but I think I have rubbed off on him a bit. 🙂 I am still going to wait for decorations but I may start some Christmas music soon!

I adore maxi dresses and love finding ways to transition them from summer to fall. Today I added boots, a bright scarf, and long sweater to make the look appropriate for cooler weather.
Maxi dress: Modcloth
Sweater: Express
Scarf: Bought in India
Belt: Bluetique

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I love your blog! I was directed to it by a Pinterest pin about engagement photos because I just took mine last week! I’m also in a credential program and trying to stay fit, healthy, on a budget, and still cute while working through it, so I feel like your blog has some great tips! -reader in California 🙂
