This Week's Top 10

1. Happy Friday!! Does anyone else feel like January has lasted forever? I feel like this month has been 95 days long... but maybe that's just because I tried Dry January for the first time? Haha. I'm looking forward to another relaxing weekend (it's been so cold here, so I doubt I'll even leave my house) and then come Monday, it'll be February!

2. The highlight of my week was either baking cookies on Tuesday night... or getting Claudia's book in the mail! You guys know I listen to the Morning Toast every single day, so I of course pre-ordered her book, Girl with No Job, and have been loving it so far.

3. My friend Caroline shared a great blog post spotlighting her current favorite content creators, and was kind enough to include me! I personally followed a few of the people on her list and recommend checking out the post if you're in the mood for a little extra inspiration! 

Valentine's Day Gifts (for her... or yourself!)

We all know I am a fan of anything and everything in any shade of pink, so few things spark more joy for me than this entirely pink mood board full of pretty pink things! (could I have said "pink" any more times in that sentence?!) While I will be celebrating Valentine's Day this year with my boyfriend, I am a huge believer that you do not have to be in a relationship to have a fabulous Valentine's day full of chocolate, flowers, love, and a little present, especially from yourself!

Here are some of the special gifts that made it to this year's Valentine's Day gift guide:

How I Make My Moodboards

Good morning!! I am excited about today's post because I think you will really enjoy this! One of my most frequently asked questions is how I make my mood boards, specifically for the monthly wallpapers, but also just for my graphics. Today I am going to show you exactly how I do it! It is super easy and doesn't require any special programs.

1. I hope you all had a happy week!! With Inauguration Day on Wednesday, beginning my dresser makeover, and having my mom in town, it was a lovely week at home, and even kind of eventful? Haven't used that word in a while, haha.

2. I am documenting my entire dresser makeover on my Instagram stories, so you can follow along here if you are interested (I am saving all of the steps to the "dresser" highlight if you want to catch up)! The paint color we went with is Benjamin Moore's "Hale Navy," which a few of you mentioned you have used and loved! I did the first coat last night and I am really happy with it. At first, the color was really gray-ish, but it dried and is perfectly navy!! I am so excited to share the transformation.

3. If you saw my Instagram yesterday, you have already been introduced to my new favorite sweat set!! Woodley Lowe sent me these joggers + this hoodie and I haven't taken them off since (yeah, I actually slept in them, lol). The set is SO comfy. Their sizing is a little different so for reference, I got both pieces in a D! I stepped out of my comfort zone with the lavender but also really love the vanilla color. The best part is they gave me a code to share with all of you! Use FRAN20 for 20% off anything!!

Winter Whites

Happy Inauguration Day!!! In honor of this fresh start for our country, I've put together a little collage of some of my favorite winter white pieces. I love an all-white outfit this time of the year... it's so refreshing, clean, and chic.
