Stylish Sunday’s: Basically

I never really get a great start off to the year, because I’m always really sick until midspring when it starts to warm up. So for a little while longer it’s going to be just stylish sunday’s posts until flu season is over.

I think I took these last wednesday, I wasn’t to sick, but I was still feeling really lazy.

Outfit : V.S. Most Loved Leggings, Sweater: Maurices, Glasses: Kate Spade, Necklace: Jewelmint, Mug: Target last year.

Even Howl was feeling the laziness of the day:

He is a floof and he needs to be groomed, which we will be getting done next week.

On my face: Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadows, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant, Rimmel Eyeliner, NYX Eden lipstick

Since I was feeling really sick I just tossed my hair up into a bun, but I wanted to feel cute so I added a frenchbraid in the back:

Finding Me

Welcome to Fashion and Happy Things new look! Grab a cup of tea or coffee and get cozy and stick around.

In September it will be 5 year since I started Fashion and Happy Things, and 2 years since it’s last makeover. I watched Taylor Swifts Live Stream on Monday and what she said about making an album every two years really stuck with me. Two years is enough time to change the way you dress, change your hair, change the kind of music you like. I’ve changed a lot in the last two years.
I want Fashion and Happy Things to represent me, as I am now. Somethings will never change, but the things you see in the image above, and the things in my header image are my absolute favorite things right now. I still love Sweaters, but instead of loose oversized cardigans, I’m loving fitted crew necks. I’m still obsessed with books, but I’m less into vampire books than I was. Instead of gushing over Ballet Flats, I adore Keds and Boots. I still drink way more tea than healthy, but I’m fruity teas and relaxing teas rather than black teas. And of course I changed my hair.
I really feel like these things represent me. I feel like I’ve changed so much, but I’ve somehow stayed exactly the same. Let me know in the comments what you think of the changes around here.

Stylish Sundays: Business Floral

I was getting dressed the other day and realized there’s been a lot of jeans and tee shirts lately, and my dressier, cuter clothes were getting neglected.

Gap Boyfriend Button Down, H&M Floral Pants, H&M Coral and Tan Flats

Kate Spade Skinny Minnie Bow Necklace

Nails: Essie French Affair, topped with Julep’s Audrey

Before I show you what makeup I wore, I’d like to point out that both Howl and I got groomed:

Howl goes to Pawsitively Purrfect in Florence Kentucky, which we absolutely adore. Honestly, they do the best job on Howl’s fur, and he always looks so perfect when we pick him up. And I see Christie at Tonya’s Image and Wellness Salon. I adore Christie, and she’s probably the only hair dresser I’ve ever been to multiple times. This time we took about two more inches off for a style that’s a bit closer to how Taylor Swift has her hair currently. I’m completely in love with it, for right now, but I don’t think I’ll be keeping it this short forever. If you’re in the Crestview, Kentucky Area and you need a haircut or color, then definitely go see her.

Makeup: Nars Tinted Moisturizer, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, Nars Blush in Deep Throat Blush, YSL Shocking Mascara, Marc Jacobs The Lolita Eye Palette, Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Bourbon , The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in #4 Succulent Pomegranate

Fall Keds

So you know I’m crazy obsessed with my Coral Keds that I got for spring last year. I can’t count all the times I wore them this spring and summer. You can see some of the ways I styled them here, here, here, and uh, here. So it would only make sense that I absolutely needed a pair for fall. So when I saw that they had Keds on sale, I picked up a pair in Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale.

I mentioned in another post that I wasn’t sure what color to get, and I was really torn between, Black,Grey, Burgundy, Red and Navy. But I ended up settling on Grey. It’s kinda my favorite color, and it’s definitely one of my most worn colors. And it’s a neutral that will go with anything, but especially Navy and Black. Which is good because sometimes I have trouble matching shoes to Navy, because I don’t always want to wear brown with it. Especially since my only brown shoes are my boots or my sperry’s.

and then preceded to take far to many pictures of them.

I’m absolutely obsessed with these shoes. The Grey looks way better in person than it did online and I will be wearing these to obsessively this fall.

They came with both yellow and white laces, and I decided that while the yellow laces are striking in the photos, and super cute because the Keds label on the tongue and the insoles are the same shade of yellow…

I’m still probably going to use the white laces most of the time. They just look so crisp with the white laces. Once again there was no break in time needed and I’m wearing them for the second time right now and they’re so comfortable. I still want them in black, and in red, and all of the other colors, and I really want a pair of the Kate Spade for Keds, so don’t be surprised if you see another Ked’s haul here in the near future.

If you were going to buy a pair of Keds, what color would you choose?
