what I love/ why I love it

Hey y'all! Today I had a new idea for a post of what I love and why! My current favorites, and why I love them so much!

What I Love: Kip Moore's Slowheart

Why I Love It: This. Album. Is. So. Real. Kip is so down to earth and his music definitely shows it. This album has at least one song that can relate to anyone. My personal favorite is "Last Shot"

What I Love: Yeti Rambler 20 OZ in seafoam

Why I Love It: Yeti ramblers keep things the perfect temperature all day, and this seafoam color is so cute and I love it!

What I Love: This Patagonia 3/4 zip

Why I Love It: This pullover is so cute and really affordable compared to some similar. It's really comfy and can be paired with almost anything

What I Love: Retro Nike Air sneakers

Why I Love It: I am a shoe obsessor, and these might be my new favorite! These Nikes are so cute and are perfect to work out in and look cute and have a retro style!

What I Love: Redbubble Stickers

Why I Love It: These stickers are so cute and are really up to you! Mine clearly state my interests, and really brightens up anything from a computer screen to a water bottle!

Have any of y'all loved these things! Let me know!

XoXo

a spontaneous decision

after a Bama win, a caramel latte, and listening to Kip Moore's "Slowheart" on repeat, I've decided to post this!

A week ago, on Christmas break, I made a spontaneous decision to paint my room from light pink to gray. and sometimes, these in a second ideas can be the best. I'm really happy with how it came out, and figured I'd share a few pictures on here!

Right when you walk in my room, you see my bed & monogram!

My nightstand featuring my current read, Emily Ley's "Grace not Perfection". I'm loving it!

The gallery wall hanging above my keyboard and guitar

My koozie wall!!

My favorite area in my room- my record player! Highly recommend! mine is from Amazon!

So sometimes, a spontaneous decision turns out to be one of the best! 

I hope y'all enjoyed this post!

lululemon leggings) a lot of people are RAVING about how much they LOVE these leggings, and they look so comfy

macbook) many bloggers/ YouTubers are always taking about how they love macbooks, and I think that one would be an amazing gift for someone who needs a very high quality computer

uggs) i've been needing some new winter boots and uggs are my go to!

tartlette toasted) Tarte is my favorite makeup brand, and this palate is no exception! 

JLB greys anatomy tee) Jadelynn Brooke is one of my favorite brands for cute preppy clothing, and my obsession for greys is REAL and this shirt is adorable!

huggable hangers) I'd love to organize my closet more with these very highly reviewed hangers!
thomas rhett tickets) thomas rhett is one of my favorite singers, and I had an incredible opportunity to meet him in September and his "Life Changes" tour dates were recently announced and of course made my list for this year!

i hope this christmas list helped some of you make your lists this year! and remember the true meaning of christmas above all else, and that its always better to give than to receive.

Meeting Kelsea Ballerini & Legendary VIP- you Look Good Tour 2017

hey y'all! so this weekend i had the privilege to meet one of my favorite singers with one of my best friends. we went to Kelsea Ballerini's legendary VIP experience! We drove into Hartford, CT to the Xfinity Theater and waited in line for kelsea's meet and greet! We were first to meet Kelsea, and she was the sweetest EVER!

Kelsea sang a private show with her guitarists and played Legends and Yeah Boy, and she was so good! She played songs coming off her new record- AND THEY ARE SO GOOD! My friend and I asked her a few questions in her Q and A session, and then we headed to our seats!

We heard Kelsea soundcheck "Roses", and then we waited to see Brett Young. 

He sang "Like I loved you", "close Enough", "In case you didn't know" and "Sleep without you" He was such a good opener- and he had a great stage presence.

Next Kelsea came on, and she was hands down amazing. Between her moves, her new songs, and her screen projections- Kelsea was amazing! We sat far back but still were in awe of how great she was. Kelsea sang about 10 songs before exiting.

Then I got a twitter notification of Kelsea coming out to the lawn to thank her fans for staying even when it was raining. We went back a few rows in the lawn, and were first to spot Kelsea hanging out. we got more pictures and had the greatest time! 

Lady Antebellum came on and they were so good too! Being there for Kelsea, they were a sweet surprise and were amazing!

I'll be sure to upload some pictures and hopefully a vlog coming up!

love yall!

Face Your Fashion Fears with Dia&Co

hey y'all! so today ive partnered with Dia & Co for a post called Face your Fashion fears! Dia and Co is a style box sent to you, specifically for Plus Size. I am not plus size, though they asked me if I'd like to do this post!
Today is the day they call "Try Day Friday", so i thought I'd show you 3 looks that are a little out of my comfort zone, but I love to wear for me!

1. I loved this tank top, and the shorts that are a little bit like a skirt looked so cute together! I'm not usually wearing skirts, so these were not like what I usually wear! still, so so cute and the pair is adorable!

2. This Lilly Pulitzer top was so adorable, but with the fringe it was a little out of my comfort zone. Yet, the outfit was so cute, and with the jean shorts looked adorable together! 

3. For me, florals are not my go-to. So that's what I'm focusing on today! This shirt was so cute and fun, so I knew I had to try it! It was so fun to wear and I loved facing that fashion fear!

In the end, #1 ended up being my favorite and my "Try Day Friday" Thank you to Ashby from Dia & Co for inspiring this post!

-xoxo mira
