Back in black

I am legit rocking out to AC/DC’s “Back in Black” as I write this post. Hahaha. Was that a blog break or what? I just couldn’t get it together since the holidays, even though we’ve had the best, most mild winter ever. I like to kick off the new year with resolutions… setting a financial goal, or a new fitness goal, and sometimes the blog takes a little bit of a hit. But I should start setting more goals for this blog. I don’t! But I’m back (in black, har har) and I’m going to try my darnedest to start getting content up here regularly. Thank you so much for sticking around — as always! I appreciate it so much.

Rose Gold + Teddy

Hi friends! I took a little blog break over the holidays, which was so nice and needed! We celebrated Christmas with our families and rung in the new year with friends by renting a cottage together for the weekend. But now I’m ready to dive into the new year! 2018 was a wonderful year though — definitely with more ups than downs. I know not every year is bound to be like that one, but I’m so grateful I worked hard to make things happen! The ups were… losing 30 pounds and continuing my WW and FLEX routine, and officially becoming debt-free, which was a huge part of our year. We also took several amazing trips around Michigan, a trip to Phoenix, and I’m so thankful for my many memories with Eric, and my best girlfriends. The major down this year was the house fire, but we got through it and we’re back home safe and sound with no major damage done. I have some big goals for 2019… but it all starts with kicking off the month right and working hard day to day!

Holiday wish list with Kohl's

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included shoes as compensation.

We’re so close to the holidays… do you have your holiday wish list yet? Are shoes on it?! I’m teaming up with Kohl’s to show off a few awesome brands available in store and on their website! In the cooler months, a great pair of boots are a must! I’m really loving this pair of Koolaburra by UGG® open-toe booties. They are so cute with a pair of raw-edge denim! I also love working out and fitness goals are always a top priority for new in my new year’s resolutions… so it’s the perfect time of year to pick up a cute new pair of tennis shoes! I’m loving these pink ones from New Balance. Keep reading to see how I styled both looks!

The tree farm

This day was one of my favorites — our annual Christmas tree chopping day! Traditions are something I really look forward to. First thing, we head to Rockford to get breakfast at The Peppermill Grill. Once we got there though, we realized we took my car instead of Eric’s, and his car is so much easier to haul our tree home with… so while he ran home to switch cars, I did a little shopping downtown! But we also forgot our camera in my car when he made the switch, so we could only take iPhone shots for these photos… so yeah, nothing went totally right, but it was just one of those days you remember as being so fun.

Hoplot

When we headed up north to Suttons Bay area, we did a little bit of wine tasting in the afternoon, grabbed brunch, and stopped to Hoplot! I loved hanging out here for a bit. We had the best autumnal vibes. Plus, they have the outdoor igloos where you can sit and hang outside with little space heaters… and be warm! So we grabbed our drinks inside (strawberry mead for me, yum) and reserved an igloo for a bit! We just hung out, snapped a few photos, warmed up for a bit, before heading back on the road to visit more wineries. Such a fun stop during our weekend up north!

City rustic

Sponsored by Zappos

Over the holiday weekend, we headed to the Windy City to take in a concert, some deep-dish pizza, and coffee at the cutest café! I wanted to fit the late autumn vibes, so I packed my plaid coat… with the coolest new pair of boots I own by BED|STU from Zappos! They’re a little bit rustic, a little bit edgy, and they just look “cool”. I wore these boots for a full night of walking around Chicago, standing for a few hours at a concert, and they were super comfortable. Plus, I love the darker “rustic teak” look! I don’t have a single pair of boots that look like these, but they already go with so much in my closet.
