HAPPY FRIDAY FRIENDS!!! WOW, I can't believe how fast this week went by! I hope you have amazing things planned for this weekend. If you don't, high five, I have a very non-eventful weekend planned and I am grateful for that. Some rest would be nice around here! 


STYLE TIP: 
I love layering and layering things. It creates a very nice styled look. It's especially fun when you've got a party to go to or it's cold outside and you won't become terribly hot! I loved to pair the sequence leggings with a slouchy top to make the look less intimidating and to make me feel super comfortable and warm! I also loved paring Teals, denim on denim here with the jeans and the chambray shirt. Adding a beautifully detailed shirt on top made for the elegance we needed for our casual Holiday party! I hope these tips and visuals help you create some amazing outfits this beautiful season!

FROM MY HEART: 
This Holiday season my heart wants to grieve not being with family. I have some family that is in Mexico and I know the Holidays can be tough on all of us sometimes. This time around. I want to choose how I feel. I want to elevate my gratitude for when I do, there is no room for unnecessary gloom and doom. I believe in the power of healing from things that have hurt us, and there is a time and a place for all things. So I believe there is a time to grieve sad and difficult situations. However, sometimes I feel like I allow myself to get stuck in the mind set of lack,  rather than abundance.  The mind is a powerful thing and the things I feed it and tell it, are the ways I'll do and experience life. I will choose gratitude this season! I love you so much. I am grateful for YOU!
