Hello 2017!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 

I've been taking in the last moments of 2016, enjoying every second, and bracing myself for a new year. I absolutely love when a new year greets us. Seventeen was my favorite number as a kid so here's hoping for a good year. New Years is always a time of reflection, 2016 was very interesting for me. One of my favorite parts of the past year was that I took the big step of quitting my job and working solely for our own company. I'm a huge House Of Cards fan and one of my favorite quotes from it is "If you don't like the way the table it set, turn over the table." That really struck a cord with me and its something I think I'll always carry with me. Thanks Frank Underwood. 

That's a big thing I feel that I've learned from 2016 and will take with me into the new year, no one is in charge of your life but you. Own it and believe in you. So it may sound a little cliche but I love resolutions no matter what time of year it may be, but a new one is a perfect opportunity.

So here are mine:

More love

More parties

More me time

Less obsession for perfection

More date nights

Much more creating (more on that later)

More travel

More adventures

So here's to a new year, new possibilities, and not a new, but better you. I hope to help with that even just a bit. I'm all about bettering myself, I hope this is a little place for you to stop for your little dose of glam.

Cheers friends and thank you for stopping by!

p.s. I made the skirt so I had to use another photo. Haha!

A Very Merry Christmas To You

With Christmas just a few days away I thought it would be a perfect time to share a little of my Holiday décor. Last year, at this time we had only been in our new house for about a month so to say that I was a little frazzled would be an understatement and yes we decorated but this year we actually had the time and energy to do it exactly the way we wanted it. MK had spent countless hours stringing lights outside to make it just right...and very bright. Ha!

We recently redid our foyer so new paint, new stairs carpeting, and new chandelier (not pictured) so we thought this was the perfect place for our Christmas card this year.

Of course we had the dogs in their usual spot. Our house was made for pencil trees!

From us Kilgores to all of you

Merry Christmas!

Gorgeous Greenery

By now I'm sure that most of you have heard Pantone's the color of 2017 is "Greenery". I normally do a post about this yearly announcement but this year I'm just as thrilled as when it was Emerald in 2013. Green is my most favorite color! Even "Kale" made it's way into the 2017 Spring color palette! Which I decided to rock with a little added sparkle!  

I think it's so funny and very hipster to throw kale into spring's colors but I love it!  

I do adore a great color combo and also tend to pair on opposite sides of the color wheel. Burnt Orange and Kale are a match made in heaven. Add a little leopard and you've got a great outfit. 

I don't know about you but I for one am very excited to welcome a new year and new fashion possibilites. Here is Pantone's Spring 2017 color palette.

Who's ready to start shopping?

I've got a lot of fun things in store for you this week. Look for delicious recipes, and a very sparkly DIY on Friday's Martini Moment.

Have a great week leading up to Christmas! I hope your coffee is strong and your shopping is done!
