Forever 21 skort brings color pop Last week something horrific happened, I broke my camera. It was a hard thing to overcome because I’ve had my Nikon D7000 for over 9 years now. She’s my first DSLR. She’s the first big purchase after graduating from college. So I felt all kinds of heartache. Thankfully , […]
Killer Walk with Lulus
Hi everyone, man it’s been a busy couple of days, they have mostly been unproductive. Yet somehow, I feel stressed out, and that’s what’s caused me to not hang with you all. I’m a mixture of emotions. Today I got all dolled up to drive around town, I went so full out that I wore […]
Skirt away
Last year I made it a huge effort, to the point of obsession, to find a long denim skirt. It had to be the perfect “long” length though. I mean I couldn’t have it down to my ankles, but just barely hitting my knees didn’t quite thrill me. So I gave up, until I found […]
Skirt + Sweater Combo
I really do hate this Tuesday, Thursday rotation I’ve got us all on because come Friday I miss you all dearly. For now it will have to do. I am hoping that once things settle, posting will be more frequent. Life is just hectic. Today was a bit tough, my trusty photographer and best husband […]
Mixing it up
This year my New Year’s Resolution was to step outside my comfort zone and October felt like the perfect month to start working towards my goals. Today’s post is step one and it’s all about mixing patterns, not just any pattern combo at that, but mixing the unimaginable ones. For example these two, this plaid […]
La Almudena
Good evening fine people. Just when I thought I had some consistency on Always Aley, life is here, looming. Well as many of you might know from my first newsletter, I’m no longer in Oklahoma, my new job takes me to Wichita and the excitement of seeing what the year will bring is truly something […]
Spanish Royal
Madrid’s beauty radiated during the sunset and it was even more magical with featuring sites like el Palacio Real. Our evening was spent walking the gardens of the Royal Palace, which I came to find out is the largest palace in Europe with more than 3,000 rooms. Yikes, talk about dreamy. Now while the palace […]
Snow Storm
With four days left until Spring Break, Micah joked this morning and asked if I was ready for winter break because man it sure feels like mid December. Today it was about 18 degrees and the low was at 4. It was something, I’m not used too, especially not with Spring right around the corner. […]
Striped and dazed
Everyone needs to fail in order to succeed and lately that’s been happening to me. I’ve been failing in areas of my life. But, what I don’t want is to sit comfortably in defeat. So even though things aren’t going my way, I continue to push through. Sooner or later, things will work out for […]
ShopLook Review
Hey ya’ll, it’s day 2 of being productive. I was extremely too late when I came across Polyvore. When I first came across this app/website I absolutely loved everything about it. I would spend hours on end building outfits and creating major wishlist items. However, once I got the hand of what the website really […]
