The Rome Trip: Day 2
Day 2 of our trip to Rome, Italy, was probably the busiest and the fullest. We saw some of the go-to places you think of when you think of Rome and we did even more walking than the day before. But to balance that out we also ate more. Life is all about balance! 🙂 The Rome Trip: Day 2 Roaming Rome On our way to see the Pantheon, we passed by some really cool stuff. We would go back later in the day to actually see all of the things we passed by, but I just had to get a photo with this Julius Caesar statue! I’m not going…

What I Wore in Rome Italy
The whirlwind trip to Rome, Italy, has come and gone. There were so many amazing aspects to this particular trip that made it very unique, but I will cover all of that in the day-by-day detailed blog posts I will publish very soon! Today I want to focus on the outfits that I wore and the clothing items I put a lot of faith in to keep all of my travel photos timeless. Since the trip I took to Rome was in January, I had to really balance the whole “It’s winter!” aspect of the weather along with the “I don’t want these travel photos to be THAT dated looking.”…

Hopes & Resolutions for 2020
If there is anything that 2019 taught me, it was that best laid plans often times never come to fruition. I learned this in many ways this year and that important lesson has helped me grow as a person. In the end, what is meant to be for you will come to you. Sometimes it is the things we don’t know about and are meant for us that end up being much better than what we originally wanted. This year also taught me that I am, in fact, getting older. I may not feel like I am any different than the eighteen year old girl that began college just a…

What I’m Wearing for Christmas Eve 2019
There are several ways to honor the holiday season using fashion, but often times the choices are very limited. I mean, how many ways can you wear red and green? Well, I have a fun new take on a Christmas Eve outfit that works for the holidays, but it can also be just as cute outside of this specific time of year. I decided to wear a red sweater this year to really embrace one of the main colors of this season. To add some contrast I paired the bright red with my timeless black Guess puffer jacket. This jacket is one of my warmest and I have been using…

Making Classic Sigmon Christmas Peanut Buttercups
For many years, homemade peanut buttercups have been a coveted and much anticipated item for the holiday season. I have been helping my Mom makes these Christmas goodies since I was about six years old. Back in those days I would stand on a chair just to see over the counter top. After all these years, the tradition continues and it stays connected to the holiday season. Although I do not need a chair to stand on anymore, some things about making these peanut butter cups with my mom never changes. Like how I am the proud owner of the title Peanut Butter Manager, and how my Mom is the…

However, with all of the basics being covered, there still needs to be some innovation in your seasonal wardrobe once in a while. Enter, the ponytail beanie. Last winter I saw this style of beanie here and there, but it was quite the trend that it is this season.
