City fun in flares

Category: Style

The very first look I knew I wanted to bring with me to NYC were these flares. They are so so cute and prefect for the city. I also did not want to go without this hat for this look. It was a non negotiable for it. Turns out it was one of the best pieces I brought since it rained almost the entire time I was there. I immediately loved these black flare jeans for a few reasons. One is that they are super comfy and have a good amount of stretch. Another reason is that they practically go with anything! And last but most important is that they are only $32! Any cute look is always that much better when its a deal. Right?! My hat was also a steal at $16 and I also have it in the tan color – both are just so cute!…

Hallway makeover and creating a new space

Category: Home Decor

Over spring break last week our plans fell through and the weather was not good. We wanted to do a little project but one that didn’t take up too much time so we decided to do a little hallway makeover. I have been wanting to paint our hallway for months now! When we moved into our house we renovated our entire first floor and did a few updates and painting in the bedrooms. But for some reason never painted and cleaned up the hallway. Fast forward almost 2 years and there were A LOT of finger prints from the kids all over the walls. We have a little nook in the landing/hallway and I wanted to add a little something to the space to make more of another area in the house rather than just a hall. This post contains affiliate links.

Now that Super Bowl is getting close I thought it was time to share one of my favorite football recipes, my 7 layer dip! This is great for a crowd because everyone loves it and it will serve a good amount of people. Plus you can make it earlier in the day and just put it out come game time!
