I enjoy making a statement and these turquoise boots are the perfect way to do that. The appliqué detailing is ADORABLE and they fit true to size. They’re the perfect finish to any outfit - whether it’s running errands in town, a much needed girls night or a date night.

I love wearing them with shorts and a sweater  this time of year, and they take a plain, fitted t up a notch. Don’t y’all think?? Let me know in the comments!

Sugar detox

| gloss | Peplum top |

Today is day 1 of my sugar detox and oh my goodness, not reaching for cookies or some other dessert after lunch was so rough. Pretty sure I text my sister telling her I really needed my afternoon fix!

Some background on why I’m doing this: I have a HUGE sweet tooth. It’s ridiculous. Typically I keep it in check and treat myself to something small a couple times a week. I realized last night as I was scarfing down a blizzard from Dairy Queen that my sugar addiction was out of control and I needed to do something about it. Sooo...I’m cutting all desserts out of my diet for the next seven days. I’m not cutting fruit out. I figure that’s natural and is fine to keep in there. I am also not doing the whole 30 - I’m just looking to make a lifestyle change that makes sense for my life.

While I was craving a cookie this afternoon, yI reached for a few strawberries. This evening was so tough though because I was semi bored after dinner and dirk was eating ice cream...I stayed strong though! I sure hope I can keep up the running AND no desserts!
