new year’s resolutions

New year, new me, new blogging plan. Happiness! I have been looking forward to January for so long now. The holidays were great, so packed. Things at the magazine were crazy busy up until right before Christmas, December 20th to be exact. So, a new year with a less hectic schedule is proudly welcomed by me.

I have a legit calendar now for posting and the content I’m creating, so stick around. I promise it will be more than me and what I’m wearing… Very exciting! Just wanted to stop in and share this particular go-to of mine. I think I’ve worn these boots 56/62 times. They are super comfortable and look even cuter with jeans. And… of course, I can’t ignore the bomber jacket trend.

I’m in the market for a new LBD. Thinking about this one. Let me know what you guys think!

What have you guys been up to? Drop me a comment, so I can catch up!

– Mallory
