...#TBT to a decade I actually never lived in, lol.

Welcome to today's first official #TBT post!


We're throwing it ALL the way back to the 70's! I'm not sure if you guys realized, but the 70's is making a HUGE comeback this fall. It's literally the biggest thing since sliced bread...*too far*. 70's clothes are all about being super hot and super flattering. High waisted jeans? CHECK! Mock neck top? CHECK! Chunky Shoes? CHECK! I even put a BELT on...and y'all probably didn't know, but I kind of hate belts. But in this outfit, it was kind of necessary and it came out FAB, duh! ;)

Top: Rue 21
Sunnies: Root Sunglasses
Hoops: Dillard's
Bracelet (OLD): Banana Republic, Similar Linked
Jeans: Express
Shoes: Big Buddha (OLD), Similar Linked
Belt: Rue 21


What's your favorite 70's piece to rock this fall?!

...Sunday Funday!

Genesis 2:3: 
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.



Hey Party People!



As we all know, Sunday is the day of rest...it's been like that since the beginning of time. Literally. The true lazy girl in me likes to honor this day (also known as my favorite unofficial holiday) by doing only enjoyable, restful things! Some Sundays include a boozy champagne filled brunch, some include never leaving the bed and watching Law & Order SVU marathons...but they always include a little pampering. Teeth whitening, Facial Masks, Deep Conditioning, you know the drill. Sundays for most girls mean getting pretty for the rest of the week! 

I love watching Routine videos on Youtube and I've decided to share my Sunday Night pamper routine with you guys! Because I figure, I can't be the only nosey person in the world who wants to know what people do in the comfort of their own home, lol!

Pamper Night Routines:
-Open the wine..well, duh. 
-Dry brush body
-Run a hot bath with delicious bubbles
-Cleanse face with face wash and Clarisonic
-Slather on a good facial mask 
-Soak in the tub and let mask do its thing
-Bathe
-Exfoliate 
-Shave
-Tweeze
-Moisturize with coconut oil
-Finish skincare routine
-Moisturize hair with coconut oil and prep into a style for the next day
-Check polish on nails, make sure nothing is chipped
-Green Tea with lemon and honey

I also like to check my calendar and just make a few to-do lists for the week! After all Sundays are all about centering yourself and prepping for the week...


What's your favorite thing to do to celebrate my favorite unofficial holiday known as #SundayFunday?!

...Fall, Is That You?!



Good Afternoon Lovely Ladies (& Gents!),

It's been a while and clearly, I have failed to keep you updated about my summer travels...BUT have no fear! I am back and this time it's my favorite season (and birthday season) so I can assure you that I'll have plenty to talk about!

This look is inspired by one of everyone's favorite bloggers, Song of Style. I fell in love with these shoes when she first posted them and knew I had to have them! However, in true Courtney fashion...I had to style it with a bonafide New Orleans twist. My sweatshirt is from the ever-amazing The Elizabeth Chronicles and my jeans are from the ever-edgy Kay's Boutique. Paired with a samurai bun and a fringe purse...I think I'm ready for the perfect fall day!

Sweatshirt: The Elizabeth Chronicles
Just Black Jeans: Kay's Boutique
Shoes: Nine West
Sunnies (old), similar linked: Ralph Lauren
Earrings: OLD, can't even remember where they are from lol
Purse: Aldo Shoes



What's your perfect fall day outfit?!

Love & Kisses,
