“‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!’” – The Grinch This is my favorite quote to repeat every holiday season. It also happens to come from one of my all time favorite movies. I think this is something we all tend to forget during the hustle and bustle of this […]
Trying to get your blog recognized and expand readership is a lot more difficult than you might think, especially because of how many other bloggers are out there. The great thing, though, is that the blogging community is very supportive – and I’ve recently been trying to join that community. I was nominated for the […]
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember one of my first ever book reviews. It was for the novel Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, which I have raved about to anyone that will listen for the past couple of years. Yes, years. I read it during the winter of my senior year […]
“Color is so important. I mean, color can raise the dead.” — Iris Apfel If you don’t know who Iris Apfel is, you are seriously missing out. I’ll admit that until recently, I wasn’t quite sure who she was. I recognized her from her signature round, oversized glasses and white hair. I knew she had […]

As I sit down to write a review of Emily Giffin’s The One and Only, I’m realizing how conflicted I feel about it. Let me start with a brief synopsis. The story follows 33-year-old Shea Rigsby from Walker, a small town in Texas. The town takes a Friday Night Lights-esque approach to football – they live, eat, and […]
Labor Day is about paying tribute to the hardworking Americans that make our country what it is. It’s also about paying tribute to those bright summer outfits you’re having anxiety about not getting enough use out of. Since this blog is all about color and making statements, I thought it’d be wrong of me not […]
One of my strongest dislikes may surprise you. It’s watching award shows. Obviously I’d love nothing more than to walk a red carpet and to be up front and personal with the glitterati that comes with it, but there are few things I find as boring as watching it from home. No knock on the […]
I realize my last book review was only two posts ago. Normally, I don’t write reviews until weeks, or even months, after I actually read the book. That being said, I finished this book in one day, so I figured my review should be posted just as promptly. I don’t even remember where I heard about […]
