So the weather has been freezing in Atlanta and I’ve come down with a cold and a sore throat.  I was feeling fine this weekend and all of a sudden I felt sick Monday morning. 🙁 I’ve been taking medicine and I hope if I continue to rest I’ll start to feel better.  The silver lining in being sick is that I have an excuse to not go to the gym and work on La Vie Petite!  My grandmother sent us a faux-fur throw for Christmas and I’ve been snuggled up on the couch blogging and binge watching the Royals.  Is anyone else as obsessed as I am?  The season finale is next Sunday and I cannot wait!   Continue reading

My two favorite winter hues are grey and black.  Grey and black mix and match well together and can make a simple outfit look chic, well thought out and put together.  On black Friday this year I went shopping with my fiancés family at the Tanger outlets in Hilton Head.  I got this super warm grey wrap sweater at the Gap outlet.  I’m a baby when it comes to cold weather, hence part of the reason we moved further south to Atlanta.  This Gap sweater is so cozy and I’ve been wearing it non-stop.  Over the weekend while I was out and about running errands, I paired my grey Gap sweater with my Ann Taylor black skinny jeans, J Crew suede loafers, Coach aviator sunglasses, Missoni headband and Marc by Marc Jacobs purse.   Continue reading

There are so many hair myths out there and it is difficult to determine what is fact and what is fiction.  Some of the major questions I have are, “does trimming your hair often make your hair grow faster” and “is it bad to shampoo your hair every day?”  My hair is pretty dry since I color it, so I make sure I use high-quality hair products and I only wash my hair every other day.  I’m definitely not a hair expert, so luckily for you, Madison Reed, a healthy hair care and color products company came up with their own hair do’s and dont’s!

After I got back to Atlanta after spending the holidays in Virginia with my family, I forced myself to get back into my normal gym routine.  I use the gym in our condo building since the equipment is brand new.  I noticed that the gym was way more crowded than it normally is and I realized it’s most likely due to people’s New Year’s resolutions to get back into shape.  I mean I don’t blame them; I’ve definitely packed on a few pounds after all the eating and drinking throughout the holiday season.  That got me thinking though…what are my New Year’s Resolutions for 2016?  Continue reading
