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!

With the New Year comes lots of changes and for many that may include a fresh hairstyle to kick things off. I too am changing up my hair for 2018, though it's actually going to be with a lack of change. I recently decided I want to grow my hair long, long, long including giving my bangs a rest and growing them out as well. With length is going to come a definite need for strengthening so I've decided to switch up my hair care products from Soapbox to theirBamboo Strength and Body collection. I want my hair to be as low maintenance as possible, meaning less styling and less haircuts but I definitely want it to be healthy, and I think these products will do just the trick. Don't forget for each Soapbox Soap product purchased a bar of soap is donated to someone in need. Just remember soap=hope, and for 10% off you new beauty routine use code newhair_kirby at checkout, valid until the end of the month!
A couple of months ago I discovered the brand FASHIONABLEand 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!
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!
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!
With a lot of big life changes I figured why not also change up my hair routine? With a new city, new house and new job I have had a lot going on and definitely have not had time to find a hair stylist here in Asheville, which a cut is long overdue. My hair has been a little in distress, and with major climate changes was feeling dry and damaged. This is the second time I've used a Hask hair care product and am absolutely loving the Orchid & White Truffle Moisture Rich collection, not only does it smell amazing, after treatment my hair feels totally rejuvenated. The Deep Conditioning treatment completely restored my hair! With all these changes going on with my everyday routine I'm glad I have a product like this to rely on.

I've battled with troubled skin for years, both acne prone and dryness, but don't have the time or the luxury to get regular spa treatments. When Mask Packs are perfect for people, on the go, who always want to be taking care of and refreshing their skin. First off, they come prepackaged as individual masks and they're made of a movable cellulose material, so I was able to put one on and easily go about my morning routine comfortably able to move without worrying about it falling off. And bonus, we're all in a hurry, after this mask is removed you just rub the excess treatment into your skin and don't have to worry about washing your face again, you can literally do this on the go and be finished when you get to your destination. So easy, and it didn't get all dried out and crack midway through; my skin felt so refreshed and moisturized when I was done!
