Spring Fashion Haul!

Happy Wednesday! From today on, I'm gonna try my best to post daily. Starting with a spring fashion haul! Sorry if the pictures don't flatter the clothes, I hope to make a spring outfit post soon. See you tomorrow:)

I purchased this bubble necklace from Amazon. Shhh... it's not really J. Crew.


I was in dire need of a new wallet, and when I saw this one I think my heart stopped. It fits everything I need; cards, cash, coins, lipgloss, and even a special compartment for my phone! Not to mention the fact that it's Lilly, and I feel so safe carrying it on my wrist. 



While I was at Gap the other day I could not pass up this adorable little number. Although it was a bit pricey, it's made of such a nice material and I know it will get a TON of use this summer.


I picked up this shirt, or should I see, these shirts a while ago. I love the fact that they're separate, but can be worn together and look very boho chic. 


This bathing suit top is my new pride and joy. I know, I know, it's the same pattern as my wristlet, but when I find a Lilly pattern that I love, I can't really put it down. I think it's safe to say that Shorely Blue is the new Ugotta Regatta. 


Last but not least, I purchased this stunning dress from H&M. It has a mint lining with this adorable white lace overlay. It can easily be dressed up and down and is so flattering.

My Breakfast with Just 4 Ingredients

Good morning everyone! Today I'm gonna show you how I make my super easy breakfast "omelet" every morning with just a few simple ingredients. I know you probably know how to cook an omelet, but perhaps you'll take enjoyment in seeing my poor attempt at one. Good luck!

xoxo Morgan


To start, you're gonna need

1 egg
1/4 cup shredded cheese of any kind
1/4 onion
1/4 tomato

You can also switch up the vegetables. I love peppers, shallots, shredded carrots, and sweet potato!

For cooking supplies, gather

knife
saute pan
spatula


Step 1

Mince your vegetables. I like to place mine next to the stove for easy access while cooking. 


Step 2

Scramble your egg in a bowl. 
Tip: For restaurant style eggs, add a splash of milk before scrambling. 


Step 3

Set your stove on Medium heat. I like to add about a dime size about of unsalted butter to my pan, just to prepare my cooking surface.



Step 4

Pour the egg on the pan. Don't worry about perfection here, it'll all work out. 


Step 5

Let your egg solidify for about 45 seconds or so. You'll know it's been solidified when you lift the pan slightly and it doesn't drip. 


Step 6

Add in your ingredients. Sprinkle on the cheese and vegetables, again not worrying about specific placement. 


Step 7

After another 30 seconds, gift your omelet a check to see if it's browned a bit. From here, you can attempt to fold it over as best you can. I personally can rarely accomplish this and end up with a mere omelet salad sort of thing. 


Move your "omelet" to a plate, season with salt or pepper, and enjoy! I love adding a raw vegetable or fruit to my breakfast. 

What do you like in your omelet?

March Favorites

Happy Saturday everyone! I know it's been a while since my last post, but if you remember my post about sewing a blanket, I told you about how I sewed through my fingernail and out the other side. I thought it was healing, but when it really started to look infected, I went to the doctor where they discovered a 1/2" piece of the needle was fully submerged in my finger, and had been sitting there since the accident 3 months ago. A diagnosis of Osteomyelitis (otherwise known as a bone infection) and an operation later, I'm on the road to a recovered finger. With that said, I thought I'd do a belated March Favorites. Hope you enjoy!
xoxo Morgan



1. Benefit They're Real Mascara I purchased this product back in November and wasn't happy with its supreme thickness. I decided to pick it up again this month, and using a lighter hand, I've come to really enjoy it! It enhances my lashes' volume and honestly looks like fake lashes!

2. Maybelline Are you Red-dy? This lipstick is a vibrant red with a blueish orange undertone. Although great for special occasions, I find that wearing it blended and with 

3. Mac Deelight Cremesheen Lipgloss looks great! This color is my natural lip color but better! I love the way it wears and it isn't sticky at all! The Cremesheen line is definitely high end quality and I highly recommend them!

4. Olay Fresh Effects Cleansing System I decided to pick up this product last week since I was on the market for a shine reducing, pore cleansing cleanser. I love the vibrating brush and after just one week, those mini blemishes that have been trapped in my pores for months are finally surfacing! So far I'm very happy with this product and you can look forward to a full review soon!

5. Nike Tri-Fit 3 Sneakers For some reason, I've been loving my sneakers lately! I wear them around with cropped leggings, but they're fantastic for actual exercising! I used to get pain in my heels from my old sneakers, but these are so comfortable and oddly make me run faster!

6. Planters Nut-rition Sustaining Energy Mix I recently tried this nut mix, and might I say it's Delicious!!! I like to make sure I've had a lot of protein before I start my day since I'm faint-prone. 

7. Caramel Squares I don't know what it is, but I have been popping the caramel squares for the past couple weeks! They're a fun little treat and very tasty.

Easter Party!

Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd show you the highlights from my Easter party. Let me know what you think!
xoxo Morgan


Dainty table settings and an egg centerpiece.


Bunny goody bags! These were a big hit!


Tulips and conversation.


Egg Scavenger hunt! This was done in addition to a classic free-for-all egg hunt.


Last but not least, my Peeps banner. I must say I'm especially proud of these little guys. I found some peeps templates online then fit them to some card stock, and wha-la!

I also wanted to say thank you to my wonderful friend Maggie for sharing my blog on hers and for this adorable chick cake pop! visit her blog here.


Hope you enjoyed!

Dynamic Duos

Happy Wednesday Beauties:) Here are a few of my favorite fashion pairings for this spring. Which is your favorite?

 Oxfords & Headwraps

This is one of my favorite pairs of trendy accessories. Headwraps can be worn so many ways with tons of different styles. When paired with oxfords, the two are so flirty and sweet.

Cat-Eye Sunglasses and Red Lips

This look is a classic. I love the fact that the flair in the glasses are slightly mysterious and are ignited with the bold lip. So sexy!
Blush & Aqua

If you're looking for a more colorful pair, try blush and aqua! These colors are spontaneously chic and look simply elegant together. 


Happy Styling!

xoxo Morgan

16 Weird Facts TAG



1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?

To be honest, my family doesn't call me anything that weird, however as you can guess there are a plethora of nicknames to be generated off of "Morgan". To name a few, "Morg", "Morgs", "Morgie", "Morgo" and even "Mog" which is "Morg" without the 'r'. 

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

This may or may not count as a habit, but I am OBSESSED with time. I need to know what time it is always, so I guess my weird habit is time-checking.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

Omg, YES. I have the strongest case of Omphlaphobia, otherwise known as the fear of belly buttons. I cringe at the thought of belly buttons, belly button picking, and the depth of bellybuttons. My worst fear is bellybutton filling or probing. Just thinking about it is making me want to vomit. Other than that, I also have a huge fear of bees. I have been stung by a bee every four years of my life, and get instant paranoia at the sight of one. 

4. What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone? 

I love to belt and dance Frank Sinatra alone. It's the weirdest thing but I have to do it alone and it is so relaxing for some reason.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

As my friends know, I have a running list of pet peeves. Number 1 though has to be when people stand in the middle of a significant path of transportation, such as a grocery store isle, narrow street, or hallway and block the entire thing to chat. It drives me crazy how inconsiderate and stupid people can be sometimes. 

6. What's one of your nervous habits? 

Of all my weird habits, I'd have to say the funniest one has to be when I was in 4th grade, I would bend my knee and hold it against my back when I was nervous. Fortunately I was able to break this habit but I was never aware I was even doing it for awhile.  

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

I sleep on whatever side of the bed is closest to the clock due to my time fetish.

8. What was your first stuffed animal and its name?

My first stuffed animal was my black lab, Steve. He could even convert to a puppet and had a distinct  voice that resemble that of someone whose mouth was filled with marbles.

9. What's the drink that you always order at Starbucks?

I personally enjoy just drinking tap water out of the fancy Starbucks cup, but if I'm getting a treat I love the Double Chocolatey Chip Frappaccino. 

10. What's a beauty rule that you preach but never actually practice?

I'm so guilty to say this, but I rarely moisturize unless my face is actually feeling dry.

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

I face towards the water but not actually under the water, if you know what I mean. If I'm washing my hair, I face away from the water.

12. Do you have any weird body skills?

I wish I could put my foot behind my head or something, but all I have going for me is a hitchhiker thumb:)

13. What's your favorite comfort food that is 'bad' but you love to eat anyways?

Chocolate chip recatta canoli all the way!:)

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?

I find myself using the term "freeloader" a lot, it has many uses. For example, if your friend asks to share the chips you bought at Chipotle, they are freeloading off of you and your chips.

15. Time to sleep, what are you actually wearing?

Since it is currently spring but pretty much winter, I wear a tee shirt, flannel pajama bottoms, and socks to bed. In the Summer, I wear a tee shirt and cotton shorts to bed but my feet must still be covered. 

16. What did you used to wear that you thought was cool but now realize it wasn't that hot?

In third grade, I thought I was really trendy by wearing a gray skirt, knee socks, black mary jane Velcro strap shoes, an argile shirt and jean jacket with pig tails. As you can imagine, that did not last long. 

Hope you enjoyed! What are your 16 weird facts?
