The Resort Collection Is HERE! I don’t know if I have ever been more excited for a collection of clothing to hit the internet shelves [aside from Gibson x Living in Yellow of course] but the new Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Resort collection that launched TODAY at Nordstrom.com is officially the most vibrant and FUN collection of…

What to Pack For Iceland: For Him
Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post. The time has come to conclude my 3-part Iceland series [only saying temporary goodbyes to this beautiful place] by bringing you a complete packing guide for him. In case you missed it, I recapped our full itinerary and a complete packing guide for her…
Iceland Packing List: For Her
Disclosure: Thank you to Backcountry and ShopStyle for sponsoring today’s post. No, I’m still not done reliving our Iceland adventures. If only I could be back there right now standing in front of a waterfall drinking whiskey in my coffee, oh the stuff dreams are made of. If you recall in my complete Iceland guide post,…
Your Complete Iceland Travel Guide [What to do, where to eat, what to wear]
Oh, Iceland. What started out as a simple note in a gift bag tucked under the Christmas tree last year turned out to be one of the best vacations that Shawn and I have ever been on together! We are typically beach people [pass the pina colada, please] so when we decided to venture off…
Planning Our Trip to Iceland
We’re Headed to Iceland… Every once in awhile that husband of mine gets a wild hair in him and does something very unexecuted and out of the blue. Insert Christmas of 2017. As I opened my last gift, I unfolded a piece of paper that showed pictures of Iceland. I was so confused. Iceland? What’s…
Packing Tips For Your Next Vacation
I’m that girl when packing – the kind that waltzes her way into the bedroom and believes that it’s only going to take approximately 20 minutes to throw some things in a suitcase and then be on her merry way. Except then reality hits about 5 minutes in and I’m laying on the floor begging for…
Warm Weather Outfits For Your Next Vacation
It’s no secret that I love nothing more than a good ole tropical vacation – hand me a pina colada poolside with a book in my hand and absolutely nothing on the agenda other than a beachside dinner and I’m 100% in my element. Then again, who isn’t in their element when they are responsible…
48 Hours in Austin, TX [What to Eat, What to Do, What to Wear]
Last weekend my family and I ventured off for an adults only trip to Austin, TX for a short but fun filled 48 hours. After a canceled flight on the way out [really cool, fog] we got in late on Friday night and departed Monday afternoon which meant one thing – we had 8 meals…
WHAT TO PACK FOR YOUR NEXT VACATION
Current situation: sitting here in a cozy cardigan, long sleeve tee, leggings, slippers, socks and a fresh cup of coffee in hopes of not freezing my head off. Outside it’s snowy and icy [fun!] and 100% grey skies. The mere mention of a vacation makes me want to spin in circles, throw on a bikini…
Chicago Girls Getaway Weekend – Where To Stay, What To Do, Where To Eat, Etc
A weekend or two ago, myself and four of the loveliest little ladies ventured off to Chicago for a complete girls weekend getaway. It all happened because of our recent 200,000 Facebook follower giveaway where the idea was to pick one winner and a person of their choice to join us [the LIY team] for a…
![Perspective. I’ve had a long conversation about this subject with myself over the past 24 hours. It sounds silly even saying it, but last night I got so frustrated when one of my nails chipped because “I NEEDED THEM TO LOOK GOOD FOR A VIDEO SHOOT TOMORROW” and then this morning I pulled a classic makeup fail and dropped my eyeshadow and it shattered so again, I was angry, frustrated, annoyed, etc. And then I stopped myself. I don’t know if you’ve been following along of @lindsayletters.co and her precious daughter, but that family has been on my mind constantly over the past month. As I stared down at my broken eye shadow all I could think about is how it must feel for Lindsay and her husband to look down at their precious daughter and despite how broken things may feel right now, they are beautifully claiming God’s provision and promise for the future while in the midst of the excruciating present. We all have things [and this my friends, was not even a “thing”] but it’s what we do with those moments that can turn a broken palette into a beautiful masterpiece. And ps. If you haven’t already, please consider praying for @lindsayletters.co and @dugansherbondy and beautiful little Eva ❤️](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/51a5acd80644f24d99c6dbbeedc13f46/5E1CBA0E/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/69470034_405620503698526_7936848937660903511_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=110 "Perspective.
