Wanderlust Wednesday: Scotland

My friend, Marcy, has raved about the beauty and history of Scotland. In fact, she took her niece to Scotland a couple of years ago and returned with her nephew just this past summer. She fell in love with this country when she was in college, which may be one reason why her love of Scotland runs deep. Scotland is the U.K.’s northernmost country, and is the land of mountain wildernesses {think of the Highlands in the Starz series, Outlander, with the sexy Scotsman Sam Heughan}, interspersed with glacial glens {valleys} and lochs {lakes}.

Fall Fashion Inspirations: October 2017

As much as I love the long days of summer, I also love the crisp, cool temperatures of Fall, kind of like the one we’re starting to have here in East Tennessee. And with the cooler temps comes sweaters, jackets, boots, and scarves, which I why I’ve been looking for some fashion inspiration to carry me into Fall. I own a dozen or so pashmina scarves in difference colors, and I’m really excited to also pull out my plaid ModCloth scarf. I have a good pair of tall knee-high boots, which I got last year, but I didn’t get to […]
