NETFLIX MOVIE PICKS

#1: The Founder

After a fateful encounter with the McDonald brothers, struggling salesman Ray Kroc becomes driven to change the way hamburgers are made and sold.

This movie may change your thoughts on McDonald's.  

#2: Miracle

U.S. hockey coach Herb Brooks unites a motley crew of college athletes and turns them into a force to be reckoned with at the 1980 Winter Olympics.

This movie was fun for me to watch since two of the hockey players on the 1980s team were from my ice arena - and I used to see their Olympic banners hanging in the ice arena when I skated.

#3: Moneyball

Frustrated that his baseball team can't afford big-money players, Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane bets on a bold new strategy to change the game.

This movie is based on a real story - and makes you believe that all things are possible.

#4: The Crown

This drama follows the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century.

I can't wait - Season 4 comes out November 15!  Catch up on the first three seasons.

A few quotes of encouragement today.

"Opportunities are lost when we let fear overrule our faith."

“Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.”

- Charles Stanley - a favorite author of mine

Striped Skirt Outfit: Two Budgets

SHOP THE LOOKS

Two big trends this summer are definitely blue and white stripes and ruffled skirts.  This ruffled skirt is a great purchase because it can be worn dressed up with heeled sandals or it could easily be worn more casually with a white tee and flip flops.

Pink + Leopard Outfit For Less

It has been a little while since I did a "save vs. splurge" post.  I cannot get over how similar each of the pieces are! That leopard sweatshirt is only $18 and the mules are, too. And, if you are not sure how much you would wear pink mules - I shared another way to style them here. 

Also, a few of the "splurge" pieces are a good deal, as well.

Ways to Save 2018 Winter Trends + Blog Thoughts

I am a couple days into putting my 2018 goals into action - and I am really trying to be good and not spend too much time on social media and reading blogs - which in case you missed it you can read about here.  I'll be honest - it is tough to limit the time!

Another one of my goals is to find ways to really hone what makes my blog "special" and to really define "what my niche is".  I feel like I have been unfocused somewhat, and I want to refine what my blog is - and put together content that you guys benefit from.  I am trying to decide if I want to start taking more outfit photos again, continue with the dressing room selfies/try on sessions - and also keep putting together more capsule collections. And, also should I share more about my personal journey.  What are your thoughts?
