Cool Blue from Antrhopologie


I just LOVE the color blue. My Coach purse is blue, my iPhone case is blue, my dress is even blue today. Some of that comes from my school colors--Charger Blue & White. Which is why the e-mail I got from Anthropologie today made me super happy! "Chilled-out Shades of Blue & White"

I must say, I pretty much want one of everything. But a few highlights to share:


1. Ruffled Azul Dress  2. Beaded Boteh Scarf  3. Beach Shade Romper  4. Chambray Cut-Out Dress  5. Stark Chevron Wallet  6. Varadero Rope Bracelet  7. Sapelo Maxi Dress

It should be pretty obvious that I love long dresses/maxi dresses. I adore the romper; however, it is not something I would buy for myself. My sister would look amazing in it! Anything chevron makes me happy, but I don't think I can justify spending that much on a wallet. I do believe I may splurge for the scarf and bracelet.





I adore this Bonitas Sunshine Dress by Free People. I love the details down the neckline.




Maxi dresses are definitely taking over my closet this summer. What is your newest fashion craze?

Lucky Brand Shoes, summer loves and Gatsby dreams.

I have wanted Lucky Brand Shoes for a while now and I am proud to say that I finally have some! I happened across these cheetah print shoes and they were on sale! I don't typically go for animal prints but these were absolutely calling my name. They were regularly $59 and I got them for $20.65. I count that as a shopping success! I got mine at a department store here in Huntsville, but if you want these and you wear an 8.5 you can still order them on the Lucky Brand website.  They are still discounted a bit online. If you want an absolute steal and more versatile cheetah flats consider these from  H&M.  Only $12.95! Awesome! I've been web-browsing a lot to see what I may want to add to my collection of summer favorites. Here are a few: I absolutely adore these and love this print but I am not sure I can justify spending $50 on them if I don't already have outfits in mind.  Do you typically buy outfits to go with your shoes or vice versa?

I messed up

 I messed up my marriage.  Possibly from the very start.  And without doing so intentionally or knowing I was doing so.  I was emotionally abusing my husband for years and seriously had no idea I was doing so.  I have suffered from sexual, emotional, and mental abuse from family members and my husband was my safe space. That meant that he also became my emotional punching bag unintentionally.  I ended up hurting him in some of the same ways I had been hurt by people in my family who I should have been able to trust.  I repeated the cycle, and I am not sure I will ever forgive myself for that.  He is done. He wants to separate. To divorce me. To be done with me. To only be associated with me by coparenting.  Of course this is never what I wanted. Never what I envisioned for myself. Definitely not something I ever expected when we adopted two of our girls this summer. Why would we do that if we were just going to tear apart our family? I have d...

Pieces of Me

Image
Trigger warning: Sexual trauma talk, depression, anxiety, general mental illness discussions as well This will likely be a long post once complete. I want this all in one spot so I will be adding to it as more information is uncovered.  I am trying to piece together what happened to me at a young age. I am not even sure when the trauma started, possibly 2-4 years old? I am hoping to uncover some of that as well. A few notes- when I use the term "dad" I am referring to my step-dad. I have always called my bio-dad, "daddy". Hopefully that helps with the confusion of two fathers talked about throughout this.  The first indication to me that I may have been sexually abused as a young child was my response to sexual aggression later in life as late teenager in late high school and early college. Instead of a typical fight or flight response that I have had in other situations I had a freeze/panic response where I was incapable of doing anything at all. It was terrifying....
