Know Thyself: Personal Growth in 25 Questions, Part 1

October 15, 2017 No Comments

“What are you most proud of?” “How do you relax?” “How do you want to be remembered in life?” These are just a few questions I’m asking myself this month as part of my Blogtober challenge, so I’m dedicating a couple of {more personal} posts about my own personal growth . In doing so, I found a personal growth exercise featuring 25 questions, which I hope you will try to answer. And in a way, I also want this to serve as an {informal} introduction that lets you get to know a little bit about me, the person behind “Green Acres […]

In putting together my editorial calendar for Blogtober 2017, I decided I wanted to put together a collage of sorts, featuring some of my previous dress form outfits. When I started blogging back at the beginning of 2012, my antique dress form was featured in a weekly “dress form outfit” post and showed a different outfit every week. Here are some of my dress form outfits from that first year. As I purchased clothes, whether they were from a thrift store or a department store, they showed up on my dress form at one time or another. Outfit #20 showed […]

I am on the hunt for the perfect pair {or two} of stylish booties to wear this Fall.

Last week I saw some really cute booties on sale at the Lucky Brand store in Nashville, but they didn’t have my size. I was a bit bummed, but […]

Who is on Your Celebrity Crush List?

October 12, 2017 No Comments

When I decided to write this particular post about my celebrity crush list, my mind started to flip through that imaginary photo album of all the celebrities that I think meet a certain criteria to even be considered one of my celeb crushes. In my opinion, my celebrity crushes should have these following characteristics: (1) they should be able to make me laugh, or cry, depending on the movie; (2) they should be mesmerizing to watch on-screen, and impressive off-screen; (3) they should be someone I look up to or admire; (4) they should make me feel like they are […]

Wanderlust Wednesday: Scotland

October 11, 2017 No Comments

My friend, Marcy, has raved about the beauty and history of Scotland. In fact, she took her niece to Scotland a couple of years ago and returned with her nephew just this past summer. She fell in love with this country when she was in college, which may be one reason why her love of Scotland runs deep. Scotland is the U.K.’s northernmost country, and is the land of mountain wildernesses {think of the Highlands in the Starz series, Outlander, with the sexy Scotsman Sam Heughan}, interspersed with glacial glens {valleys} and lochs {lakes}. And guess what the national animal […]
