Hiiiiii....Happy April! How have you all been? My sweet mom called today and said that she had given up on me and my sweet little blog. She thought some of you might feel the same. As you can see, I have been taking it easy with the blog. With so many pictures to share from my 30th birthday trip to Italy, I wondered what would be the best way to burst back to the blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about some FREE jewels? Remember my last post? Of course you do...it is the only post I have given you in a while. I am so thrilled to be back today sharing another gorgeous piece from my friend Vanessa's online boutique, <a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/glitterandpearls#52526">Glitter and Pearls.</a> This GORGEOUS sea ombre necklace was a personal favorite during our Italy trip. I found myself pulling this necklace out time after time for a few reasons. It was perfect for day and night, striking, not too heavy, and always added a pop of color to any look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why do you care? I am excited to share that Vanessa and I have teamed up for a little giveaway. The details are simple. Follow Vanessa on instagram @shopglitterandpearls, follow me on instagram @dahlialynn, and finally share the perfect occasion for <a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/products/N274BL/color-code-teal-teardrop-necklace">this necklace </a>or <a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/products/E249/celestial-frost-post-drop-earrings">these earrings</a> featured <a href="http://www.dahlialynn.com/2015/03/over-river-and-through-woods.html">here</a> in the comments below. The lucky lady or gent will win their choice of the <a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/products/N274BL/color-code-teal-teardrop-necklace">Color Code Tear Drop Necklace</a> or the <a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/products/E249/celestial-frost-post-drop-earrings">Celestial Frost Post Drop Earrings.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I cannot believe it has been a few weeks since the ground was C-O-V-E-R-E-D in snow. We shot these pictures just a few days before we went on an amazing trip to Italy for my 30th birthday in February. We have been back for almost a month and naturally time has flown by. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I am so excited today to introduce you to a new jewelry line that I am simply loving. My sweet friend Vanessa has opened a "<a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/glitterandpearls#52526">Chloe + Isabel</a>" boutique online called "<a href="https://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/glitterandpearls#52526">Glitter and Pearls</a>". I was thrilled when she asked me to style a few pieces from the collection for you all. First up...these amazing chandelier earrings. Do you love them as much as I do? Though they would be perfect for a dressy night out, I thought they were perfect for dressing up my grandma sweater. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up...an amazing necklace that I might have taken to Italy. You will certainly want to stay tuned. There might be a little something in it for you:) Happy Wednesday....J</div>

Happy 2015! I really cannot believe that a full month has passed in the new year, and I am just now putting <strike>pen to paper </strike> finger to keyboard on my first post. As the first days of 2015 began to pass quickly, more quickly than anticipated I should add, I started to feel terrible that I had not blogged. Not a great way to start out the year with one of my favorite hobbies, but life happens. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As I was thinking about this post, I started to ask myself, "Why do I keep blogging?" I certainly am not a blogger who has thousands of bloggers to answer to, I am not always sure that people think my outfits are inspiring, and sometimes the fashion blogger world can seem a little materialistic. And I think I have landed on the answer. It is very important to me to be true to myself, authentic, and vulnerable....all with the hope that I can inspire others and give them the permission to do the same. That is why I try to share my thoughts, feelings, and crazy outfits with you all here and with everyone in my life. <br />
<br />
At my job this past year, I have sometimes struggled with this, as it seems there is a certain way you should dress and conduct yourself. There are unspoken rules that sometimes just don't feel like....well...me. But I have challenged myself to push past what "seems" to be right and just be myself, and I think (for better or worse) it has rubbed off on a few people. My colleagues will say to me, "I thought of you this morning when I decided to wear these Aladdin inspired pants. I probably should not wear them to work, but I thought...Jessica will love these." It seems small, but makes me happy to know I am helping both myself and others be who they want to be. <br />
<br />
If you are still with me...I should share that I am about to jump on a plane to Italy. My first real vacation since starting my new job over a year ago. I will be there for two weeks with my best friend, and I hope to come back with lots of fun pictures, stories, and inspiration. I also will be kicking things off when I return with an amazing giveaway. While in Italy we will also celebrate my birthday. So when I return, you will be reading the words of a 30 year old. Miss you already.<br />
<br />
Ciao...J</div>

So I did it. I bit the bullet. I joined the Northern Indiana masses. I, Jessica Reasons, purchased a snow blower, and I like it. On our first trip to the Home Depot in Indiana last year, I saw this long line of contraptions. I literally asked Stuart, "What are those?" He looks at me and says "Your joking?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really had never seen a snow blower. Not thinking we would need one last winter, we turned down a family member's kind offer to get us one. Once winter showed its true colors, we were regretting the decision, but it sort of became this competition with "old man winter."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well this year, I had no shame. I survived last year. I shoveled for countless hours, and I deserved a snow blower of my own. So we bought one. It is little, but mighty and runs on a rechargeable battery. It even has a little spotlight for easy snow blowing in the pitch black of the morning. I am able to clear our parking pad, our sidewalks, and both of the neighbors' sidewalks in 40 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you that know me, are you wondering if my blog has been hacked? We have two great guest rooms if you want to come see me and the snow blower in action. Happy Tuesday....J</div>

Hi there and Happy Monday! Writing today from one of my favorite places in the world. My hometown of Fort Smith, AR. Still cannot believe I get a whole week home. Happy Camper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I want to invite Ikat to be my guest. I about died when I was searching Pinterest for a blue themed party motif and stumbled upon the first shot here. I have to admit this eye catching print was never at the top of my print list for a party, but she is now. If you are an Ikat lover like me, how easy would it be to grab a few yards of your favorite Ikat print to make a great tablecloth? Feeling a little less inclined, try some sweet Ikat napkins to liven up your look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? Would you invite Ikat to the partaaa....J</div>

About once every month, my buddy and I catch up on all the latest movies in theaters we have not had a chance to see. Sometimes one afternoon movie turns in to two movies and a sweet little Sunday is born. This past Sunday we caught "Alexander's Horrible and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" and "St. Vincent." I recommend them both if you are in the mood for some laughs, some tears, and a warm fuzzy feeling. Happy Thursday...J</div>

Some days you just have to slow down. Even though I spent a lot of time working this weekend, we found some time to slow things down. Did not hurt that I spent most of the weekend in these pants with an elastic waistband and this sweater that feels like a bunny. Happy Tuesday...J</div>

Anyone who knows me, knows my mad love for Mexican blankets. I always keep my eye out for them at antique shops or flea markets. I have been lucky enough to find a few and receive one as a sweet gift from a BFF after her trip to Mexico. What started out as a love affair for pretty colors and prints grew to an appreciation for usefulness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You see these gals are much more than a pretty face. Aside from the perfect cover up for a cool night on your porch or trip to the beach, they are perfect for parties. Need an eye catching table runner, tablecloth, bench cover, or scarf...your Mexican blanket can save the day. Though they are an obvious choice for your next fiesta, I hope you will think of them next time you are roasting s'mores in the backyard, planning a wedding, or hosting some friends for a brunch. </div>

Happy Monday...J</div>

Oh Fall. How I love thee. The leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, knits, hot chocolates, smell of burning leaves, Halloween, football, costumes, pumpkin spice lattes, scarfs, warm hues, cooler temps, jackets, pumpkin spice lattes, corn stalks, over the knee boots, holidays on the horizon......did I mention pumpkin spice lattes? Just wanted to share a few of my favorite looks from Fall 2011, 2012, and 2013 on le blog. Do you have a favorite look? Happy Friday...J</div>

This week has been a little bittersweet to tell you the truth. We are coming off two great weekends with family. While I am on a bit of a high from new town pride, it is hard to be so far away from family. The past two weekends we have spent our days taking our guests on tours of our new favorite hometown spots. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think tours of an amazing university right in our backyard, pancakes at our favorite local brunch spot, small bites at our favorite tapas spot, delicious steak dinners, a trip to the VERY close lake Michigan, shopping at my favorite local antique stores, make your own pizza night on our sweet little front porch, morning coffees in the quiet of our new place, the list goes on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we love our new home, these visits are a bit of a reminder of the distance separating us from our family and many friends. But there is no denying that we are building a beautiful little life here. In one year, we have made so many new memories and friendships that I know will last a lifetime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was sharing these sentiments with my sweet Mumsey this week, she said that after a few visits she knew we were in a place where people were watching out for us. I could not agree more. It is feeling more like home every day. Happy Thursday...J</div>

So who is excited for a little "Hostess with the Mostess Monday" on...errr...Wednesday?! Me! I fell in love with the photos from the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. I thought it only appropriate to feature a party where the signature color was "orange" with Halloween right around the corner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also find that in events the orange hue is not always a crowd favorite. Orange scares people. It scared me before I met my man. Orange is his favorite color, so I now find myself drawn to the hue. Am I the only one crushing on this event space? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I love the bunches of inexpensive flowers featuring the signature orange color. So many people hate on carnations. And yes, one lone carnation can look a little sad, but several, tightly bunched, in the same bright hue is simply striking. And we don't always have a hostess budget that allows us to purchase garden roses and peonies with reckless abandon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Second, I love that they are incorporating the signature orange color into the staffing uniforms. Bar tenders with orange aprons and hats? YES PLEASE. Such an easy, unique, and fun way to add your signature color to an event space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Third, this particular event really uses the signature orange in rental pieces, such as chairs and umbrellas. There are those standard rental pieces, chairs, umbrellas, tables, trash cans, bars, etc., that we always need at events. However, these pieces are sometimes overlooked when considering places to incorporate color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fourth, aside from the fact that this event beautifully incorporates the brand's signature orange, I love that they have used their signature champagne bottle as decor throughout the event. Bottles as bar decor...check. Bottles as chandeliers....check. Bottle labels as plant pot decor...check. Bottles as table number holders....check. Bottles filling bar backs....check. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I think the planners here did a fabulous job of incorporating the signature orange at every eye level. In these photos you can see the orange chandeliers, orange florals, and orange chair cushions. If you were to incorporate the color in only one of these levels the space would not feel nearly as full in my opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what do you think? After seeing some of these photos? Would you consider orange at a party? Or maybe consider showing the carnations some love at your next event? Happy belated Monday...J</div>

Today is a good day because I am wearing my favorite side bun with polka dots, floral, and a vintage bag. The side bun has been a life saver lately when I want to go for sophisticated with a soft twist. Polka dots are always a crowd pleaser. Who doesn't love florals? Finally, not sure that there is another $6 purse on the planet that could rival this QT. Did I mention I am also wearing OTK boots in these photos? It just keeps getting better. Happy Thursday...J</div>

WALLFLOWER: A person who, because of shyness, unpopularity, or lack of partner, remains at the side at a party or dance. I often joke about being a wallflower at parties and gatherings. I was a little shocked to read this actual definition since I felt like the definition made the wallflower sound a little sad. I stand alone at parties and dances when I need me time, to have a snack, or want to observe the room without distraction, not because I am shy, unpopular, or lacking a partner. Or so I thought?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes some serious self confidence to stand alone at a party, don't cha think? All I can say is that as a wallflower, I will be feeling pretty good in this sweet little number by Mumu from <a href="http://shopriffraff.com/collections/mumu/products/jocelyn-maxi-madame-fleur-1">Riffraff</a>.

Hi you guys! How was the weekend? We have had a fun filled month of visitors, so I have been loving my hostess role these past few weekends. Nothing makes me happier than keeping the house tidy, shopping for little happies to surprise my guests, and adding that little something special to our nest to make guests' stays all the more special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On October 1, we celebrated my one year anniversary as an Event Planner at a very special place in South Bend. I never dreamed that I would be getting to use my love of design and special occasions to further the development of an amazing university. Since I spend many work days dreaming up special touches for events, I thought I needed to start sharing some of that dreaming with you folks. I hope you will enjoy getting a little event inspiration from my "Hostess with the Mostess Monday" posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, the PINEAPPLE. Celebrated as s symbol of hospitality there is nothing like a fresh pineapple to get a party started. I mean what is not to like about a fruit that looks like it is wearing a crown? In the photos above, you can find my favorite ways to incorporate a little bit of hospitality in to your party, or try them all to celebrate an in your face pineapple party theme. </div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uper-CmN5R8/VDIF6Nn_jZI/AAAAAAAAJ9M/xI6yCZwpJpY/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-10-05%2Bat%2B11.01.17%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uper-CmN5R8/VDIF6Nn_jZI/AAAAAAAAJ9M/xI6yCZwpJpY/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-10-05%2Bat%2B11.01.17%2BPM.png" height="258" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay...so have you been wondering at all how the "No Shopping" has been going? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been doing pretty darn well I think. I started off very strong with literally no shopping for almost a month and a half. Then they changed our work event dress code. So all those suits I bought last year are not necessarily preferred. After wearing the same 3 black dresses to several events, my mom said, "work clothes are like food, you need them." So I have been keeping my eye out for work appropriate items here or there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must confess, I sort of dove head first off the no shopping wagon and did a face plant smack in to a few flea markets, Zara, and a mad J.Crew sale while in NYC for work. I am not proud, but the past is the past. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will say it has not been easy with all of the amazing fall items out there. You can follow along as I pin my favorite items on to my "<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dahlialynn/woulda-if-i-coulda/">Woulda If I Coulda</a>" pinterest board. But today I am sharing a few items I cannot get off of my mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First</b>, this sweet little polka dot number form <a href="http://www.shopsavoirfaire.com/">Savoir-Faire</a>. Good thing they have already sold out of my size, so I will not be tempted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Two</b>, this O<a href="http://www.markandgraham.com/products/elisabetta-handbag/?pkey=cpersonalized-totes&">-R-A-N-G-E bag</a>. I cannot get it off my mind. I think it is something I might have to eventually purchase after the no shopping is over. My husband loves orange and it always reminds me of him. I think that is why I am so drawn to this bag. And then of course the opportunity to have a little "JMR" on the bag in gold seals the deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Three</b>, <a href="http://lolaboutique.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/cass-dress">this dress</a> from the amazing <a href="http://www.shoplola.com/">Lola</a> is just a dream. It would be perfect for holiday parties with black tights and dreamy dinners with my main squeeze in Italy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Four,</b> this <a href="http://us.asos.com/countryid/2/ASOS-SALON-Embellished-Dress/13dig9/?iid=4006162&cid=12921&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1TQUxPTi1FbWJlbGxpc2hlZC1EcmVzcy9Qcm9kLw..&utm_source=Affiliate&utm_medium=LinkShare&utm_content=USNetwork.1&utm_campaign=QFGLnEolOWg&cvosrc=Affiliate.LinkShare.QFGLnEolOWg&link=15&promo=307314&source=linkshare&MID=35719&affid=2135&WT.tsrc=Affiliate&siteID=QFGLnEolOWg-2wXGuPPOxtUf8y_AAsvkjQ&utm_source=Affiliate&utm_medium=LinkShare&utm_content=USNetwork.1&utm_campaign=QFGLnEolOWg&cvosrc=Affiliate.LinkShare.QFGLnEolOWg&link=15&promo=307314&source=linkshare&MID=35719&affid=2135&WT.tsrc=Affiliate&siteID=QFGLnEolOWg-JDFdxGcaNmTk7gVT2hQvNg">little flower dress</a> just steals my heart every time. I am not convince I would look that great in it. But I do think she would be pretty hanging in my closet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there you have it. The 4 items I cannot get off my mind at the moment. Feeling the gimmies! Happy Thursday...J</div>

So here is the final look. Swapped the open toe heels for comfy flats, added a heavy knit scarf, and threw on a warm vest. Not sure how I would survive the snow without knits and fluffy vests. They just add that extra layer of warmth to dainty pieces. And how about the camo and pink combo? It kills me every time. Happy Wednesday..J</div>

Hi cuties!! Are you surprised I threw jeans on under this dress? I actually wear pants under dresses all the time. I find it is an easy way to get extra wear out of some of my favorite dresses. Also, very easy to do with the loose pants we are seeing everywhere this season. See you right back here tomorrow for the final layer of this look...J</div>

So hopefully you caught the very <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloglovin.com%2Fblog%2Fpost%2F3413690%2F3365417949">first way</a> I styled this pretty dress from the amazing <a href="http://www.shopsavoirfaire.com/collections/dresses/products/kaleidoscope-shift-dress">Savoir-Faire</a>. I am changing things up a bit for this round of "1 Piece, 5 Ways." Things are getting very chilly around here, so I wanted to show the progression of layers over a piece from fall to winter. Today I have tied a light weight jacket around my waste for those comfortable afternoons followed by cool nights. Happy Sunday...J</div>

Who doesn't love PINK? I had forgotten how much I love pink and black together. It is not a color combo that I put together often, but every time I do, I couldn't be more pleased. And of course this sweet dress from <a href="http://www.shopsavoirfaire.com/">Savoir-Faire</a> makes me smile. Thinking I might have to take this little dress on a "DahliaLynn, One Dress, Five Ways" trip. Been busy, busy with lots of work events, but loving the start of football season. Happy {almost} Friday...J</div>
