My family recently visited Jekyll Island, a small island nestled in the Georgia coast right next to St. Simons Island. This island is home to a lot of history, specifically the Horton House. The walls of this home have remained standing since the 18th century, thanks to tabby, "a building material created by mixing water, lime, sand, and oyster shells." If you look closely you can see the remnants of oyster shells throughout the walls. We disturbed these walls of history by having a little photo shoot, Sadie included.

Let's be honest, I've been sucking at this blogging thing, but as of right now I decided that one of my New Year resolutions is to start blogging consistently. To start I'm just going to show y'all some of the outfits I've worn recently.

What would be more appropriate than to show y'all what I wore on New Years first! Here I'm wearing a Free People top I got for Christmas, that unfortunately I can't find on the website. I decided to wear a black tank underneath for a little edge and I wore a black lace bra that unfortunately you can't see in this picture. I borrowed my sister's necklace and wore HUE black leggings, the fancy thick ones, and some black Frye boots that clearly blend into the background in this picture.

On the first day of the New Year I decided to dress a little more for comfort, after partying the night before, lol I just went to a concert. I wore the Dylan Tweedy pullover in ice blue and the patchwork sweater leggings, along with the same Frye boots from the night before. Here's a cute pic of me and Sadie chilling in the car from that day. Oh, also I'm just going to be honest with y'all, these leggings are so cute, but probably the worst quality item I have ever purchased from Free People. Holes keep appearing up and down the seams, and at first I though it was just cause I am bit a curvier than others (careful word choice there...), but once I read reviews I realized that wasn't the case because even people with twigs for legs were having the same problems. 

As I leave you with the last outfit, I'll also leave you with a funny story. So this past Tuesday my family went out to dinner in downtown Athens before we headed to a concert. What concert you ask? Well we thought it was going to be the Acapella group Straight No Chaser. Turns out it was another band called Straight, No Chaser. Notice the comma... They were there playing for a fraternity benefit and apparently tons of people kept asking "isn't there supposed to be an acapella group?" and proceeded to leave once they found out the truth. Despite this disappointment it was a great opportunity to wear my new Shaggy Jacket and this great tunic. Aaaaand once again the Frye boots and Hue leggings. Clearly I only have one pair of black boots. 

I guess this is a decent start to my New Years Resolution, even though it took me 9 days to post... Fortunately I'm finally taking classes for my major in Fashion Merchandising so hopefully I'll have some interesting stuff to post about soon.

I never knew that I could love something so much, but then I met Sadie.  Sadie is my family's new puppy, so that says a lot about my love life.  She is a Tibetan Terrier and one of the smartest dogs I've ever encountered. She will be four months this Sunday and already knows how to sit, lay down, shake, play dead, and she can stay for about 10 seconds, but hey she is a puppy and that's pretty long for a puppy.

I am allergic to basically any kind of animal dander, this was discovered when I was in 3rd grade and brushed my friends cat, within 20 minutes both of my eyes had begun to swell.  I have always had a dog growing up and when I was younger I had no problems with them, but as time went on I started to have reaction's. I would get hives on my arms and my throat would itch after I pet a dog or held one, this is nothing compared to what can happen if I pet a cat or a horse, one time I reacted to a horse when I didn't even touch it.  Although it isn't as bad physically, it hurt me mentally, it always made me sad because I am a dog lover.

My mom and I always looked into different hypoallergenic breeds of dogs and would be obsessed with different breeds for awhile, but when we met Harvey, a Tibetan Terrier that lives in my neighborhood, we knew instantly that this was the breed for us.  The problem was that Tibetan Terriers are not a very well known breed and the breeders we could find were on the other side of the country.  We weren't too interested in experimenting with shipping a puppy either.  When we found a litter of puppies located in Florida it was destiny, that may be a little over the top, but oh well.  We picked Sadie up on the way home from Disney World and have been in love ever since. It is so awesome to be able to hold a dog and not have any allergic reactions. Basically I just wanted to introduce y'all to this sweet pup since I'm sure she will come up from time to time, so I hope you enjoyed reading the love story of me and my dog.  Oh and she has an instagram, @lady__sadie, that is two underscores.
