And the snow begins to melt

Leather and Plaid. The midweek snow break continues with day number three here at Marie Nicole and I have had enough lounging. I decided to risk the chance of freezing and catch the last bit of snow before it all melts away, but of course, I had to do it in style! Who says you can't be couture in the cold? Unfortunately, the days of snowy bliss can't last forever; starting tomorrow it is back to reality and back to college. It was fun while it lasted!

 

Till next time.

First class lounging. The snow is still on the ground today, so all classes have been cancelled! Gotta love living in a place where a little snow puts a halt on an entire college campus! Needless to say, it is definitely a day of lounging here at Marie Nicole! Keep warm and bundle up if you too have been happily snowed in!

Till next time.

Baby, it's cold outside

Kisses from Heaven. It is a snow day here at Marie Nicole and we have been bundled up all day enjoying the bliss of this snowflake shower! Fluffy scarves and fur hoods were our salvation as the grounds were masked over by a gorgeous white blanket. Snow is not very common where we live, so Ashley and I were quite excited when we saw the first snowflake fall from the sky. As I watched the snow from my bedroom window I started to think about how not one snowflake is the same. It is hard to believe that there are that many unique snowflakes all different in their own beautiful way, much like people. Embrace what makes you different, it is what makes you be-you-tiful!

Keep warm my darlings! Till next time.

Fall in Love with Moments

Pretty in Pink. Today on Marie Nicole, we are feeling pretty in pink. That's right, I own not one striped pink item, but two! On our last weekend in South Carolina, Ashley and I stopped by our local Victoria's Secret for some last minute shopping and there is no way that I could pass up this super stylish sleep dress. Who says you can't be fashionable at home?

 

Over the years, I have been focusing so much on the future - what I am going to do with my life, where am I going to live, who am I going to be - but I have realized something. While thinking about your future is important, it is also important to not lose sight of what is happening right at this moment. With all the stress and craziness of everyday life, sometimes the best medicine is to just stop and smell the roses. Appreciate the little things in life. On a beautiful sunny day, look up at the sky, smile, and say thank you for another breathtaking day. On a simple night just spending time with your family, smile, and say thank you for the family you have. Life is to short to let each day pass you by. Fall in love with moments.

 

Till next time.

New Beginnings. With every new year comes a new wave of possibilities, dreams, and resolutions. The new year marks the beginning of a brand new chapter in life that is blank and ready for its first set of words. Never forget, you are the author of your own life, so lets make this chapter the best one yet! Once the clock strikes midnight, it is as if the slate of life is wiped clean. All the disappointments of  2013 are long gone and there is nothing ahead except the infinite possibilities of 2014. Dreams that have been put away have finally found their way back to the surface, feelings of ambition and determination return, and it is time to stop thinking about what you want to do and just do it!

 

On January 1st, I found myself not looking back, but actually looking forward into the future. Of course I had some good times in 2013 which I will always remember, and sure I had my fair share of disappointments, but to me, the new year is not about reminiscing the past. It is about being thankful for your blessings and looking into the future. As I watched the Times Square ball drop and mark the new millennium, my future flashed before my eyes. I saw my dreams coming true, my resolutions being met, and I saw myself doing things that I never thought I could, and I for one am very excited to see what 2014 has to offer. Life is short, and Ashley and I are ready to take risks and work for the life that we want. So lets make our first resolution of the new year together - this is the year of taking chances. Even if the dream or the goal is completely crazy and only has a 1 percent chance of coming true, go for it! You never know what could happen, so why not try. The possibilities are endless, so bring it on 2014, we are more than ready for you!

 

Ashley and I also filmed a "New Year Glam" video on our YouTube channel featuring these outfits, styled by me, as well as a makeup tutorial by Ashley! Be sure to check it out and subscribe!
