The Pearl Piece.

Embellished pearl pieces have been a force to be reckoned with the past couple of months and I have been on the hunt for the perfect pearlized piece to add to my closet. Cue this beautiful Pop Julia cardigan, the perfect oversized cardi, in a neutral gray shade with just the right touch of pearls on the front, just what my wardrobe has been missing, and something I can wear ALL the time! This is such a great layer for transitioning to Spring and it's actually a little heavier weight that'll be perfect as a jacket layer once it's a bit warmer. You can shop the sweater here, and the sweetener its' under $35 price tag!

Living FashionABLY.

A couple of months ago I discovered the brand FASHIONABLE and was immediately drawn to their high quality leather goods and their unique and minimalist jewelry. What I didn't realize was, that was just the tipping point to a truly amazing brand. You all know I am always in such high support of fashion for good brands, and FASHIONABLE is doing so much good both locally and globally. A brand that strives to provide employment mainly to women who have overcome major struggles in their lives and are looking for an opportunity to succeed. These women make the most beautiful pieces and I have added some essential staples to my closet for the Fall season. This look is one I'll probably be wearing on repeat or in some variation all season long, and when you have a handbag as beautiful as this Albera Crossbody you'll never be in the need to swap it out. Of all the ways I have been blown away by the FASHIONABLE brand I was honestly most surprised by how amazing their denim fit. I've been in the market for some fresh jeans for a few months now and seem to continuously find ones that are too stretchy, or if the fabric is nice not the rise I am comfortable with. These are the High Rise in Lorena and I love just how high these sit at my waist and the little raw hem makes them the perfect length for pairing with both the Tatiana Loafer and ankle boots alike throughout this season. These jeans have some give but really feel more like a true denim; I have worn them three times in the past week and they have not stretched out at all, which I am super excited about! I want you to be excited too so if you have some free time please check out FASHIONABLE, they're such an amazing brand and I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do!

Global Handwashing Day with Soapbox.

Happy Friday everyone! I've teamed up with Soapbox in honor of Global Handwashing Day, which is coming up on October 15th, to share the importance of proper handwashing. It may be something we take for granted or don't think about everyday, but we can stop the spreading of major infectious diseases but properly washing our hands, and why not do that with some of the loveliest Soapbox soaps?! Not only do they offer some fabulous scented soaps like the Vanilla & Lily Blossom, or Citrus & Peach Rose, they are also completely vegan, cruelty free and made with the best ingredients AND they are a rad one for one brand that for every soap purchased they donate a bar of soap to someone in need. For being such beautifully made products they are also surprisingly affordable and would also make for a great holiday gift, gifting someone who is then even gifting someone else, because who doesn't love some great hand soap?! You can shop their products at 10% off with code GHD17kirbymorris and help spread their message that Soap=Hope, happy handwashing!

Home Spa with Exuviance.

If most of you are like me then it's also hard for you to find the time and the money to regularly indulge in spa treatments. I'm very busy between my full time job and blogging and of course on my days off I want to spend my time outdoors with Andrew and our dog or visiting family. And not that you can't treat yourself to a spa visit once in a while it's just typically not in my routine. I was so excited to get to try the Exuviance Bionic Oxygen Facial, because it the treatment of a trip to the spa right in the comfort of your own home, and it works super quick! For the past week I've been using it every couple days and it's so easy; after cleansing your face, apply the oxygen facial to your damp skin and let it sit, after a couple of minutes you will feel it start to foam, which is the most soothing and refreshing feeling, once it finishes foaming it will basically evaporate and then you can give your face a quick rinse and voila! Five minutes tops and you will feel totally refreshed! Regular, repeat spa treatments at home for $65 total.

I'm Now Smiling Brilliantly // Custom Teeth Whitening.

Most of you know from following along on my journey that drinking coffee is probably my favorite past time, now that we're living in Asheville Andrew and I are enjoying all that craft beer has to offer and between the blog, my job and what ever other adventure I'm embarking on I am constantly on the go! For the past few weeks I've been whitening my teeth with the Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system and it honestly couldn't be more effortless. With custom made whitening trays, the trays are very comfortable and easy to wear while on the go or while teeth whitening at home; I've honestly whitened while walking Divot, walking on my commute to work, driving in the car and running errands like grocery shopping. I've used white strips in the past and they're so hard to maneuver in, you can't really talk cause they'll move, they look silly and noticeable so you can't leave the house; with these whitening trays I can literally just throw them in and not even notice while I go on with my tasks throughout the day. I keep my trays and a whitening syringe in purse for on the go just in case I can find a chunk of time when I'm coffee free during the day to get some whitening in. This is a very affordable teeth whitening system and they do an amazing job catering to those with sensitive teeth, I've used my system about 8 times in the past few weeks and you can already see a major difference in my before and after photos below. Goodbye coffee stains and hello whiter and brighter smile! This was a collaboration with Smile Brilliant and I honestly couldn't be more pleased with this product if you're looking for an affordable, comfortable and easy whitening system I would 100% recommend giving them a try! You can get $15 off your custom trays with code fashionbyday15 and also enter to win your own, entire whitening kit here! Good luck, you may enter until July 26th and winner will be selected at random!

How Much Is Teeth Whitening

Fashion by Day x Motif

A little over a month ago online jewelry retailer Motif reached out to me and asked if I wanted to curate a collection of pieces inspired by Fashion by Day and my personal style. Of course I said yes and have picked out five amazing pieces that truly spoke to me! A few of them are seen here like the Secret Darkness Choker which I have been wearing like crazy (you've probably seen it mixed in with a few outfits here and there) and the In the Loop Ring with the star and moon - this piece is really cool because the black bar is removable if you just want to wear the silver part of the piece. I chose the piece I did, because they're all a little more on the delicate side, but also can be seen as statement pieces because they all have so much of their own detail. I like the contrast of the black in half the pieces because I think it adds an extra edge, which is similar to my style, very classic with a little edge. I'll be sharing more pieces on the blog, but in the meantime feel free to browse the collection here.
