main street makings.



p.s. this lil' ole theater is the cutest thing in town.
as made clear by my last post, winter has made its appearance here in the Burg! so by default the thick cardigans and tights have emerged from the depths of my closet. This is a cozy warm outfit perfect for the crisp morning chill that (unfortunately) accompanies early morning church. The faux leather shoulders add a bit of sass to the knit sweater, and I can't get enough! But I love these heels because they have enough traction on the bottom to keep me from slipping on ice or snow. Praise. Once the cold weather rolls around, maxi skirts become ubiquitous throughout the chapel halls. So in an effort to stand out amongst my long-skirted sisters, I made the brave decision and opted for a shorter hem and thick tights. And the outcome may you ask? I WAS WARM. also I had the benefit of not dragging my Sunday best through the brownish snow. I impart this tidbit of personal wisdom to you all. More tips on surviving an icy winter coming soon.

10 Lessons I've Learned In The Last 10 Years

Image
Today marks 10 years since my dad died, an entire decade gone in the blink of an eye. I felt the sadness would last forever alongside people's awkward and embarrassed apologies. Yet somewhere along the way the sorrow was replaced with nostalgia and then with reminiscence. So rather than mope over my inevitable loss I complied a list of the top 10 lessons I've learned in the last 10 years. 1. Life isn't all lemons or lemonade. It's in my lowest lows that I swear my life is cruel, that the Fates have it out for me and I'll never know happiness. It's a tart lemon sans sugar and I'm bitterly gritting my teeth. I've had to accept that not every lemon will bear lemonade, & THAT'S OKAY. Without those painful lows I'd never appreciate my greatest highs. Biting the lemon makes the lemonade sweeter. 2. Lonely & Alone Being alone doesn't directly translate to loneliness. Learn to be comfortable without the presence of othe

This past week I had the wonderful opportunity to go see the church sponsored film, Meet The Mormons. The documentary follows the lives of six Mormons (Latter Day Saints) and their families through their day to day lives, and to show the world what makes Mormons tick.  I absolutely loved the movie and encourage everyone that hasn't had the chance to see it, to go! At the opening of the film a woman was questioning people on the streets of New York City as to what they knew about Mormons. Their answers were both comical and intriguing. Their perceptions of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were based on hearsay, the media, and Mormons that they knew. It astounded me that so many people have the wrong idea about Mormons. Then I realized that they're simply learning from our example. It scares me to think that I might be the only LDS a person ever meets in their life. and what if I'm not representing the church in the right light?! Unfo

okay I know that nowhere on this outfit is there flowers, but this full ruby red skirt makes me feel like a pretty tulip.  It's been a bit rainy up here in the Burg so I knew that it was time to bring out the tights and say so long to my short summery dresses. I love the versatility of this skirt and how easily it can be paired with anything! my next outfit with this skirt WILL include cheetah print, just you wait. xoxo hails.
