Happy Monday, party people!

I am off work in observance of MLK day and I am trying to give some much needed TLC to my closet.  No matter how hard I try to keep it organized and tidy, it's only a matter of time before it looks like a full-blown disaster area.  At least twice a year I have to take every single item out and start fresh with empty shelves and racks.  I am hoping to make a pile to sell on Instagram soon, so make sure to check back!

I am so honored and excited to show you this piece from my friends at Half United.  This super edgy bullet casing is a symbol of a wonderful company doing the most good.  These days, especially in the fashion world, it is easy to become engrossed in our own lives and forget about those who lack even the most basic of necessities.  There are 925 million people hungry in this world, and every 13 seconds, a child dies from hunger.  Those numbers are pretty unfathomable.  Half United has created a fashionable symbol to remind yourself and others of this fight.  And for every piece purchased, they donate half to the fight against hunger.  How incredible is that?!

To do your part in the mission against hunger, order a product for a friend or loved one today.  I cannot think of a better gift to give or receive.   ...I may particularly love this company since it is Headquartered right down the road from me in Wilmington, NC.

Thanks for reading!  Go crush your Monday.  Linkups below.

TGIF, friends!

I always wake up excited and eager beaver on Friday mornings.  I mean, I am PUMPED.  There is nothing like the promise of 5:00 freedom to adjust your attitude for the whole day!  

Unfortunately, not every day is Friday.

Sometimes I wake up daring anyone to so much as breath in my presence.  These are usually mornings after I have stayed up past midnight under the sick influence of social media, or when I was jarred out of my slumber by the melodic sounds of a dog throwing up on the bed, or mornings when my body forms a secret plot against me and decides to ignore the alarm clock.  These are the mornings of leggings.  Leggings and Starbucks.  

Leggings can be very chic and effortless.  Especially when they are faux leather.  But, more often than not, they are just easy and comfortable.  I feel as though the battle of the leggings keeps coming up in the everyday fashion world.  I am completely pro-legging.  They can serve as a fitted pant to pair with boots and sweaters, or as a thick tight to style with your winter dresses.  A pair like this even has belt-loops to make you feel like an adult.  Just make sure to follow the rules of styling leggings: 

no tight tops with tight bottoms - match them with flowy blouses, sweaters and ponchos

make sure all of your lady-bits are covered

be careful with high heels - flats and boots/booties are safer choices.  

So, friends - are you down with the leggings?  I hope everyone has a FANtastic weekend!  It is officially the last weekend of duck season here in NC  - can I get an Amen.    Linkups below!
