Hope Blooms
Breast Cancer Awareness Month will always have a special place in my heart. As I’ve shared many times before my “Bigma” is a breast cancer survivor. She is probably one of the strongest women I know! Seeing her go through the entire process is something I will never forget. Through it all, she still tried her hardest to be strong even when I knew she was weak physically and mentally. My story is similar to a lot of you. You may have been affected directly by breast cancer, know a survivor, or unfortunately know someone who lose their fight. On the blog today I’m sharing some important information on early detection and self-examination! Please see the steps below to do a self-examination.

Sweater Weather
The weather is getting cooler and nothing is better than a good sweater. A great sweater is perfect for fall and can easily transition you into winter as the temperatures drop! Fall is all about keeping it comfy and casual, which is one reason why I love an oversized sweater. I grabbed this sweater from a local Atlanta boutique Reydar and today they are having a Cyber Monday deal for 50% off this sweater so you can grab one for yourself or a loved one!

Leggings of the Year x SPANX
Drumroll pllllleeeeeaaaasssseeee and the Faux Leather Leggings of the year go to SPANX. I have never put a pair of leggings on my body that was so comfortable it’s literally insane! Sometimes leather has the misconception and sometimes the reality of being uncomfortable. I’ve put on some leather leggings that feel paper-thin, others that crunch when you walk, and some that literally look and feel like a trash bag. But sisssss I am here to save the day!

Rust is A Must
Get into fall with fall colors! Even if the weather in your location is not quite feeling like fall consider wearing fall colors to get all the fall feels. My favorites are of course olive, burgundy, mustard, and my new favorite RUST! Rust is a beautiful combination of red, orange, and brown. The color makes you think of everything fall pumpkins, leaves changing color, and warm fires. This color comes in many variations and looks great against many skin tones!
