Where Do We Place Our Hopes?

The unfortunate thing about blogging these days is that your 'success' is on display for everyone to see and measure up. And I'll admit (although I like to deny this about myself), I'm a pretty competitive person. And because God made me this way (ha!), this also means that I'm driven, determined and just all-around intense. The difference with blogging (as opposed to other domains of life) is that people are bound to judge me based on certain metrics - whether that be Instagram followers, comment counts, site design + whatever other ways one could possibly 'measure' a blogger's success.

Branching Out Into The World of Non-Fashion

Thoughts About Non-Fashion Stuff on BTD Sometimes I day dream about writing about things other than fashion. In a sense, this blog is mostly a compilation of pictures showcasing different types of outfits and “things” I want to buy and such.

After posting this image on my instagram, I got a few emails and comments asking what the devotional was that I started. With the new year on the horizon, I wanted to start something fresh and get excited about digging into the word. I’ve always wanted to do an in depth study of John (and then all the gospels really), so when I heard about the She Reads Truth January…

Lately Around the House

        Since moving into my new (rental, of course) home here in Dallas, I haven’t gotten the chance to show you any snaps around the house. I’ve been traveling so much that I haven’t been home long enough to actually get moved in. I know that sounds crazy, but I’m just really good at putting it off (ha!). I finally got the chance last weekend to straighten up enough…

Action is the Foundation of All Success

Action is the Foundation of All Success – what a great quote! So simple, yet SO true. Given the new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about goals in general and what it means to actually pursue them. And although having a plan and being organized is important, I think there should be just as much emphasis placed on simply getting started. Because I don’t know about you but I have…
