Identifying my style

It's hard for me to identify or describe my style because who I am is made up of so many different elements, each different from the next. I imagine you will better understand as I list a few out for you.

Color Palette

I chose this color palette because:

• The seafoam green represents my calm and patient personality.
• The strawberry represents my outgoing personality and constant optimism.
• The espresso brown represents my warm nature - I love to nurture others.

Fashion

Some examples of my kind of fashion. But it is first important to know that no matter what I am wearing - active wear, casual wear, dress wear - I will have my Michael Kors watch and Hamilton tote at all times!

Autumn/Winter

Lookin' Nice

Casual

Movies


Ideally I would like to describe my life as a romance - What girl wouldn't like her life to be like The Notebook? But truly, a drama or comedy would describe me better. Don't laugh, but Marley and Me would be a movie to compare me to. (1) Because I love Jennifer Anniston and (2) right now my boyfriend and I share an adorable bulldog that often gives us trouble but regardless, we always adore him.

Who wouldn't love all those wrinkles?

Our English Bulldog, Atom Bomb

Isn't she gorgeous?

 Travel


I haven't really traveled at all - YET! Growing up, my mom was terrified of flying so we only did it once. We flew to Colorado to visit my aunt & uncle. Even though I have not traveled much, I have a desire to explore new places. Because of my limited travel, I have no specific places I hope visit, as long as it's new to me. And I love the beach, so somewhere tropical would be a start.

St. Lucia

I have Irish ancestors. I'd love to see the country!

Interior Design

I have a love for residential design. My mom has always loved antiques and growing up I hated them. Now that I am older, I have learned to appreciate them but to an extent. I like to mix old, shabby and distressed items to new, crisp items. 

Here, I love the shabby cabinets against the shiny stainless steel appliances.

The mantle is so cool. The room is rustic yet clean.

Obsessed with this bedroom but I would add a pop of color. Maybe yellow or a bright green.

Reality Television

My oh my do I love reality television but not The Kardashians (not even sure how to spell it). I love Dance Moms. Mainly because I grew up dancing and competing but we were not that strict. But believe me, that is not the only studio like that!

In addition to Dance Moms, the other reality TV show I like is Project Runway. No, I do not make clothes and I hardly know how to sew, but I secretly love it and would love to be able to!

Tim Gun is my favorite!

Fabric/Pattern

I love linen. I think it is so chic and comfortable. If I had to choose one fabric to have for the rest of my life, it would be linen. Even though I would be cold in the winter...

Music

This is probably the hardest element for me to show my style because I love several types of music. I suppose if someone was making a documentary about me the song would have to be Journey's " Don't Stop Believing", mostly because of the optimism - not to mention it is a blast to sing!

Just a small town girl...

As I review this post I am delighted at what represents me. I am happily surprised at what my style looks like on paper (or the web)!
