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? If you look in my closet...most of my shoes are fairly repetitive since they will go with most anything. 


I had to play with H&M's try-on feature on their website and I loved adding items! I paired this black ruffle maxi dress with those cheetah flats, a gold necklace, and a gold bangle. Final price? Only $62.80! Not bad for an outfit with pieces you can wear with so many other things! 

    
Necklace: $14.95                              Bracelet: $12.95                             Maxi Dress: $24.95




On a different note--have you seen the Great Gatsby? I cannot wait to see it! From what I can tell the costumes are amazing! They organized a fusion of Prada and Miu Miu! Prada has a video about it on their website. Check it out! And let me know your thoughts on the movie. I absolutely loved the book, so hopefully the movie won't disappoint! 

If you have a love for Ann Taylor-The Loft or peep toe shoes be sure to check out my closet on Tradesy! I added a few summer blouses to the mix! 

Hope you all had a great weekend! Tomorrow is Monday--a new work week awaits!

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 dealt with so much frustration, sadness, and

Healing Through Writing

This 'conversation' is really a one-way conversation since I have no idea how this person may respond. He could respond in a multitude of ways. And since I do not currently plan to approach him, this is my way of letting it out and trying to deal with the pain. Trigger Warning: This is about sexual assault. I do not go into a TON of details, but I wanted to put a warning here. Me: I'm not sure if you remember me. My name is Megan Lewallen but my maiden name is Megan Scott. We went to school together at UAH and went out on a date once my freshman year (maybe Fall 2007?). Anyways, I felt I needed to tell you how that date made me feel. I know it has been well over 10 years now, but it still impacts me. I don't remember a ton of specific details from that night. I can't remember what I was wearing, what type of car you were driving, or even where we went. What I do remember is being at one of your friend's houses, alone in a room together, on a bean bag chair of

Pieces of Me

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.
