The Perfect Party Dress

Where has 2016 gone?! I can't believe another year has come and gone, but 2016 has been full of lots of adventures and good memories. I started my senior year of high school, went on an eye-opening mission trip to Minneapolis over the summer, spent two weeks in Wisconsin at Pine Lake and Door County, made the decision to go to Iowa State, spent lots of time with friends, turned 17, made memories with family, celebrated one year of blogging, went to Texas for spring break, started experiencing some of my 'lasts' in high school, spent many nights watching football games, took lots of pictures, and had a blast at my first prom, as well as my last homecoming. Overall, 2016 has been a really good year and I am so excited for what 2017 will bring! In today's post I'm sharing the perfect party or special occasion dress (sorry I didn't get this out sooner!).


As you can tell, I'm pretty excited to ring in the new year! I found these glittery 2017 photo props at Target for $3! I can always count on Target for a good deal! 

This stunning black velvet dress from Target is perfect for a party or special event. I have been loving the look of the velvet trend, so I decided to give it a try myself.  I am not disappointed! 





I gave the dress a classy look by adding some sparkly pumps from my closet and pairing it with a girly pink purse from Forever 21 I bought a few months ago.


What's a party outfit without some sparkle!? I found these earrings a few months ago clearanced at Charming Charlie! They pair perfect with this marbled necklace I received in my latest Rocksbox shipment. 

Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Thank you so much for your support throughout 2016!

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Ah, fall is finally here and couldn't be happier about it! I love the cooler weather, pretty trees, and fun fall activities. I have to admit though that my favorite aspect of fall is that fact that I get to pull out all of my cozy sweaters and scarves. The fall months are prime time for playing around with layering due to the unpredictable tempatures. My easy go-to outfit for fall consists of a sweater, vest, blanket scarf, jeans, and riding boots. The evening my mom and I went to the pumpkin farm was the definition of a perfect fall evening; 50 degrees, a cool breeze, and sunny. I've linked all of the pieces down below if you are interested in getting the look! This outfit was perfect for finding the perfect pumpkin! It kept me plenty warm while still allowed for me to be able to easily move around! All of the pieces from this outfit are staples of mine. They all can be mixed and matched with so many other outfits to create a totally different look!  I love blan...

The Perfect Autumn Cape

Last year I hopped on the cape bandwagon, and I am so glad I did. Similar to blanket scarves, they are just like socially acceptable blankets.  An added bonus is that they are super cute too! I saw a red and black buffalo checked cape in a picture last fall and searched all winter for a look-alike! Finally, a few weeks ago at Walmart, of all places, I spotted this one! I scored it for under $15 and was a happy girl! Here's how I styled it and how you can get the look! I started by layering the cape with a simple white shirt to brighten up the outfit. Between the warmth of the shirt underneath and the cape itself, this look was perfect for a gorgeous fall day. I paired the tops with my go-to American Eagle jeans, to keep the outfit simple and comfortable.   Since I am so short, a lot of material can easily swallow me up and create a very boxy shape. With this in mind, I added a simple tan belt around my waist to give the cape some shape. I was feeling extr...
