My new motto is “2017 is the year of me!”. I think we should all have this positive attitude for ourselves. Pursue your passion, hit that long time goal, achieve unbelievable happiness! Okay, yes I am sure that sounds easier said than done lol, but it is doable. For me, being organized and having a plan not only makes me happy and calm, but I actually accomplish the things I set out to do.

The cutest planners you ever did see!

Have you ever not had a phone charger on hand and then all of a sudden, there goes the power to your life line? This is an all too familiar feeling for me. As a blogger, I live on my phone. Social media is like second nature to me. I rely on my physical planner to list out everything I need to know for my blog post, personal life, events, family get togethers, birthday parties, and even date nights for those times when my phone is just null and void. For me, my planner is my LIFE SAVIOR for the day to day. Amazon has the cutest planners with Bloom Daily that are perfectly detailed with large enough spaces to list everything down to your grocery list. AND an added bonus, if you have anxiety these even have coloring book areas to soothe you when things a little too tough for words. Again.. saving me on my day to day craziness!

Something I have noticed in this year’s “resolutions” or “goals” people have is Kindness. We have probably all heard about “Pay It Forward”, a simple act of kindness can change someone’s entire year. Daily Bloom has even stepped it up by creating these pay it forward kindness quote cards. How fun would these be to give to someone who looks a little sad at your local Starbucks, or even the lady who seems frazzled who pulled over to get gas in rush hour traffic? We can spark change in this world in the smallest ways!

Velvet Sneaker X Ribbon Laces

If you haven’t fallen in love with velvet yet this year, you will most definitely fall hard when you purchase these sneakers! They not only let you walk for days in comfort, but they’re so luxe with all their velvet and satin ribbon laces details. And let me just rave about their price point UNDER $90! You may be seeing many of the low top velvet slip on sneakers running around town, but high tops are one of my favorite trends making their head turning debut.

Even though most of us have had a short work week, I still feel as if my head is spinning (most of the day today I truly believed it was Wednesday). This shirt dress is my go to for looking casually cute and leaving me with only one clothing item to worry about putting on! Not to mention, it’s quality and not flighty like others that sometimes fly up in the most opportune moments. This lovely plaid number will not disappoint on those days you want to look put together minimal effort!

My New Year’s blog post talked about striving for bigger and better content for Gracefully Sassy! I am over the moon to tell you, January is going to be packed with many great things you will benefit from. Amazing finds, coupons exclusively for you, and even the nitty grity of beauty products. You have been and continue to be an wonderful support system for me I am working my tail feather off to give you MORE MORE MORE in 2017.

Cheers to You Lovely, I hope you find inspiration this year to pursue whatever passion you have!

Yet again, we are nearing the end of the year. My New Years Resolution for 2016 was to chase my fashion passion and launch my Style Blog. I can successfully say as I sit here and type this post I am so grateful that I was able to accomplish this dream of mine.

I have not been this behind on thinking about next year’s resolution in a few years, but after much thought this afternoon I finally had the “ah ha” moment. 2017 will be nothing short of fantastic for Gracefully Sassy because I will settle for nothing less! I have many ideas that I have ping pong around with and I plan to go for it because you will most definitely benefit from it. I will show more of my tips and tricks for owning the fashion game, and how to do it without breaking a sweat. As a person who battles high anxiety, I am going to work even harder to overcome that negative part of myself to bring amazing styles, events, and posts to you . I thought what better way to be sure to accomplish this than blog about it so you can help me stay on track…. yeah this is no going back now lol. Also, please, please do tell me anything you would like to see more of or anything in particular you would like me to talk about. For me, hearing feedback from you means so much and gives me the burst of energy to give you great content when I hit a rut!

I can’t say THANK YOU enough for supporting this little blog of mine. It means so much to have your support as I put my whole heart into ever post. As any blogger can tell you, we lay it all out there at times knowing we can get negative feedback, but you have showed such love for Gracefully Sassy. I promise to invest even more of my creative spirit into this blog in the New Year as a token of my appreciation for your love. My deepest hope for you in this new year is for you to pursue the passion you have in 2017. If you ever need any advice or help along the way I am your gal. I know the fear of failing can feel too much at times, but plain and simple “You got this!”. Make 2017 the year of you!

Happy New Year Lovelies! My next post will in the new year. CHEERS TO YOU

Christmas Day Sass

T-Minus 3 sleeps and it’s Christmas morning! If you’re like me, yes I am fully aware there is no Santa, BUT I still shoot up out of bed bright and early to huddle by the Christmas tree. It is just fun, (so I am sticking my tongue out to all your grinches you don’t agree) and I enjoy the moment with a seasonal brew that also has hints of Bailey’s! #adultingatitsfinest

After all the child like present unwrapping and watching the parade, I then become an adult. This includes the perfect Christmas Day outfit. If you haven’t seen the latest trends of over sized sweaters, cold shoulder tops, plaid, and over the knee boots… well, you are seeing all those things in one NOW! These are some of my personal favorite trends this season and I thought what better way to tell y’all about it then doing a full post on it. These boots are UNDER $50, and I scored this skirt for less than $15 (it is now sold out, but has this VERY similar look for less than $20)! Talk about sassy deals to look every bit like a fashionista!

P.S. if you need absolutely anything festive, you can head straight over to Charming Charlie because they have it all! And you can snag any last minute Christmas gifts that you may have not been able to Amazon Prime in time. I was able to get this wristlet and sunnies for less than $20 together.

I Hope you enjoy everything festive and happy this time of year with your loved ones! Merry Christmas from myself, Kyle, and PoBoy Daniels.. yes he loves all the followers of Gracefully Sassy lol.
