FALL LAYERS

jacket| top| jeans| scarf| booties| bag Fall is my favorite time of year because that means it’s time to layer up. Scarves are one of my favorite accessories for the fall. They are the perfect layering piece. This scarf is long and thick, almost like a blanket. I had my eye on it last year and was so excited when I saw it was back this year.

PICNIC IDEAS WITH RUNA TEA

BEST AT HOME WHITENING KIT

I am the type of person that is always smiling. I’ve always been that type of person. Lately I wasn’t too confident with my teeth. They have been very dull and off white. With work during the day and blogging at night, and being a full-time mom, there is no break. I’ve been drinking a lot more coffee then I ever used to.
