February,the month of love, has arrived. A little more quickly than I had anticipated! February always inspires me to play with pinks and reds. Both are colors I don't typically gravitate towards- although I am loving the color of the year, rose quartz! Seeing these shades everywhere during this time of year makes me want to add a pop of red to my look. If I'm not feeling quite brave enough to wear a new color head to toe, I like to try it with an accessory or a new shade of lipstick. ...
Friday’s Five
Happy Friday! This week really flew by and I am looking forward to a weekend of no plans or obligations. It will be nice to be spontaneous and explore the neighborhood a bit. Being so busy recently has made me want a daily routine that is quick and easy. Today's Friday Five is about my favorite items to help me look put together with ease. We all have those days (or weeks!) that getting ready seems a lot more of a chore than anything else. On these occasions I reach for a favorite hat and apply ...
Dressed Up Basics
Between moving, the holidays, and traveling it has been a whirlwind past few months. I have actually loved being so busy recently, but am looking forward to getting back into my daily routine (and a lot more blogging!).

Girl About Town Gift Guide: For the Ladies
I am admittedly behind on gift guides and Christmas shopping as well! (oops!) Between moving and starting a new career venture it has been hard to find a minute for myself.

I find that it is the thought behind the gift that means the most. Try to take a minute to really think of who you are shopping for & the right gift will jump out at you. Sharing ...
Flare Denim + Sweater Vest
Most weeks I actually don't dread Mondays. I try to make a conscious effort to start out the week on a positive note and think of the coming week with optimism. It is inevitable to have some stress or daily tasks that are less than desirable, but having a half glass full outlook will make those mundane things get done with ease. As the year comes to a close, I have found myself reflecting on the past 12 months. Having a positive outlook, counting my blessings daily, and constantly finding ways ...
Girl About Town Gift Guide: Best Gifts for Guys
Shopping for the men in your life can be one of the most challenging tasks during the holiday season. I consider myself somewhat of an expert in this category considering my guy is pretty stylish himself, which can make gift giving that much harder! I find that with the guys it is great to gift them things that they need, but wouldn't necessarily buy themselves. I often pick up on little clues throughout the year of things he mentions he needs or would like to get, but never actually does. Below ...
