Hello friends, wanted to pop in before I hit the pause button and take time away from my blog & social media over the holidays. And boy, oh boy, do I need it! As I mentioned in my Insta post yesterday, I'm in desperate need of a reboot & pause. My reactivated case of mononucleosis has turned into a year long battle, and if I must be honest, I'm still on bedrest and absolutely heartbroken over it. It's been such a challenge, as you can imagine. But for now, I'm feeling the warm hug of the holidays and excited for my fave time of year in spite of all I'm going through. We've queued up our fave Christmas movies, and I'm ready to eat my weight in Xmas cookies & chocolate. Haha, who's with me?! But really, what a year it's been - am i right?! We've been stretched, probably had more meltdowns than we care to admit, and safe to say, we're all cheering for a better 2021. I'm crossing my fingers for good news globally, and better health for all of us!!
While I'm excited to go quiet, I'm also excited to come back to my blog & Insta in the new year. I'll definitely be changing my content around a little, and wanted to give you guys a heads up. Expect more curated shopping lists, luxury purchase covets & reviews, beauty, and the odd outfit thrown in too. Though for the outfit part, let's face it, it'll be me on a couch, make-up less, and with a hot cup of tea. God willing! Basically, I'm looking to take the pressure off, keep my photoshoots to under 5 minutes, and create content that is manageable while on bedrest. And while some might say, why don't you just scrap the blog all together V?! The truth is, I love the community, being creative, shopping (haha), and feeling a part of something. Because if I have to just resign myself to bedrest and hours of Netflix?! Well quite honestly, shoot me now. It's far too depressing!
Ok, I've gabbed enough. Happy Holidays, see you in 2021, if not a little sooner. And if you're the praying kind?! I'd love to get your prayers for my health & healing. Luv you guys!! xo

My Fave Midi Skirts

And if you're wondering how to layer yours? My best tips are to first choose a metal: silver, rose gold, or yellow gold - although I love a mixed metals look too. Then, I'd suggest considering different textures and incorporating unexpected touches like a midi ring, or a delicate thumb ring. I would also recommend adding a ring with a pretty stone, or stones, and don't worry about having rings on each finger. I think it's fun to alternate. And last tip... your hands don't have to match. Just have fun and choose rings that you genuinely love and if they have special meaning?! Even better! With that said, here's a few more gorgeous styles I absolutely love! This star ring is so beautiful and would layer perfectly with a dainty twisted band or a subtle diamond band too. And a dainty name ring would be so lovely + you could choose a meaningful word as well. When it comes to metal quality, I'm often asked if I'd recommend gold fill or solid gold. It's honestly such a personal choice, but since I'm chatting rings, here's my opinion. For me, my gold fill & gold plated rings have always lasted beautifully, and it's largely due to the fact that I always remove my rings when doing housework, or when washing my hands (though I've gotten lazy here & there, haha) and definitely when applying scented moisturizer. So if you're not hard on your hands, I'd say it's a great option. However, if you're choosing a ring that's highly sentimental, or you don't want to take extra steps, then solid gold is a lovely choice of course, and what I would recommend. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below, and I'll be sure to answer straight away!! xo
