mimiandmegblog.com : BOOK LIST // TRUE STORIES

I tend to read in cycles. I’ll read a ton of books for a few months, and then not read for a month or so. However lately I’ve been eating books up. It’s part of my nightly routine. I’ve always had a little trouble falling asleep, and I’ve found that reading helps wind down. I...

mimiandmegblog.com : 8 Years

KansasCouture.com : Flower Girl

Rainy weather has ushered in slightly cooler temperatures. I keep reminding myself to wear jeans and sleeves while I still can! Jeans are always what I miss most during the dog days of summer. Though I don't usually opt for wide leg pants, I seem to prefer them cropped when I do! I don't think the silhouette...
