style, stories & everything in between
in the final days leading up to our wedding, i did my best to get myself in tip top shape for the big day -i took my vitamins, drank lots of water, took four studio barre classes a week, attempted to get plenty of sleep... and in the midst of making the laundry list of final ...
now that thanksgiving has come and gone, it's officially the holiday season and i for one intend on really embracing it this year. S and i are even going to get a REAL tree this weekend! amidst shopping for gifts, decorating our home with poinsettias and pine, and of course, making a batch of S's ...
happy black friday! on a day dedicated to getting the most value for your money, it would be appropriate to feature a beauty product that does just that. i'm talking about the sapphire 8 in 1 curling wand which the team from irresistible me generously gifted me to take for a test drive. since y'all know i'm a curling ...
just when i thought it would never arrive, fall decided to show up this weekend (insert celebratory emoji here). while i've certainly enjoyed having an extended summer, it was refreshing to put on jeans and a sweater for a change. after a day of solo errand-running in preparation for my bridal shower (more on that later ...

there's this weird thing that happens after you get engaged. despite not having a large affinity for white clothing most of my life, all of a sudden, it's the only thing i want to buy. which makes me a little nervous given the fact that i'm prone to spillage. ANYWAY, with showers and other wedding-related events ...

brains, beauty, muscles... and humble, too. y'all i'm back with another joy kelley original. today's tee is sassy and sarcastic, just like me ;). i wanted to elevate the classic "t-shirt and jeans" look so i opted for my favorite flare jeans and a pair of simple black leather pumps. i finished with my faux leather jacket for a ...
of all the words i would use to describe myself, "edgy" wouldn't be among them. sure, i may wear all black and occasionally sport dark lipstick, but owning a faux leather jacket from target and dating a guy with tattoos is about as edgy as i get. otherwise, i'm as conventional as they come. so imagine my surprise when ...
