Hi friends! It’s Gina 🙂 Lately, the Fashion page has been filled with posts from one of my favorite girls (and future sis-in-law), Meg. The plan was always to have her eventually take over the fashion page, since she has an amazing sense of personal style, but it wasn’t possible with her school schedule. Well,…

The concept of personal style is somewhat new to me. I have always been a trend-follower (which is OKAY!) and dressed myself based on which stores were popular at the time. In high school I definitely still shopped based on popular styles (hello Abercrombie ripped jeans) but as I transitioned into my college years, I…

I could easily be a clothes hoarder. It’s not like I would ever wear my “Ryan, Marry Me!” shirt again, but sometimes I get a little attached to the memories behind the clothes. They remind me of different times in my life, and it hurt a little when I got rid of the first dress…

Hello, it’s Meg again! I saw this fashion post as an opportunity to talk about shopping for vintage clothing, something I LOVE and do quite often. Sometimes buying vintage can be intimidating. The clothing isn’t new, sometimes it needs altering, and the fit is almost always different than modern clothing. So, what are the upsides?…

Like I’m sure many of you do, I have Pinterest boards for everything: recipes to try, fun stuff to do with Liv, ideas for the Pilot, workouts, quotes and motivation, etc. I also have a style board that I pin to occasionally- I especially love outfit and hair ideas. The hair ideas have been fun…

(“floating on the pool in a raft” wasn’t quite as catchy) 😉 Swimsuit shopping is kinda like jeans shopping: you either don’t mind it, or absolutely hate it. I don’t mind it that much, but I’m a big fan of all things shopping-related, so there ya go. Here are some of my swimsuit shopping strategies:…

When I first saw colored denim last spring, I thought to myself “I’m glad the trend will be gone by next year.” Nope. Here we are again and colored denim is more popular than it was last year. Same thing with skinny jeans… I fought the trend forever because I thought they were horribly unflattering,…

I’m really excited to bring you guys a very special guest post from one of my good friends and future sister-in-law: Meg! Meg is quite the little fashionista –she’s an amazing shopping buddy- and writes over at With a Sentimental Heart. She and my bro recently started a blog to chronicle their wedding adventures, too:…

What’s this?! A fashion post! Wow, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done one of these. At first, it was more of a “here’s what I like” page, that turned into a “here’s what I wore” page that came to a standstill as it got more and more challenging to dress myself. Some women…

Tights and I have a weird relationship. Whenever I wear them, I have flashbacks to middle school dances where my mom would say “make sure you wear hosiery with that dress!” I hated nylons. So I would listen to her, take them off when I got to the dance, and put them back on before…

I used to love me some Crest Whitestrips. Source As soon as they became really popular (I think it was late high school?), I jumped on the bandwagon. This was before I really paid attention to the ingredients in anything I was using, especially beauty products, and also started my hardcore coffee addiction. I’ve mentioned…

One thing I love about moving so often is that it forces you to get rid of clutter and start fresh wherever you go. Marrying a military man forced me to transform from the girl with hundreds of random bottles and cosmetics to more of a minimalist. I just get what I absolutely need and…
