Up first, my house…
…a few peeks into our little world.
Well, I’ve always enjoyed the works of people like Charles Faudree and Betty Lou Phillips, so you could say I like Country French. I love pillows, rugs, throws, books, candles, heavy frames, and pieces acquired over time. The aesthetic is that nothing looks new but rather collected.
I really try to keep my home comfy and cozy (you guys know how I love the word cozy…). I want lots of nooks for reading, blankets for wrapping yourselves in, coasters for setting cups of coffee down on…I want you to be able to curl up anywhere and feel at home here. I want my house to be a cozy little place for my family to take refuge each day.
This would be my personal style for my home: lots of collected pieces, lots of warmth, lots of places for kiddos to play :).
Next when thinking about my personal style would be what I wear…and let’s be real, for me…my day to day life is working from home and chasing after kids, so my style has to fit that. Here are two really good examples of my personal style for this time of year…
I like jeans and wedges:
Or…I like shorts, a tee and sandals:
Cute sandals, shorts and a tee (like) work for me when doing the work from home mom thing.
I basically wear the same “uniform” every day…
Black Jeans (or blue!), tee, denim jacket, flowy (wrinkle-free!) top, plaid, necklace…repeat 🙂
That’s my personal style right now. In a month, my style is going to be pajamas to swimsuits back to pajamas again until fall :).
Next in the personal style category would be my hair…let’s be real, my hair only does one thing and one thing only…it does beachy. I’ve said it before but during high school and college, I would spend hours trying to get it to do something else and then right before I got married, my new hair stylist was like, it’s beachy, let it be what it wants to be…and so, I’m letting it be :). What I wear might evolve over time as I get older…but I’m pretty sure that my hair will look like this when I’m 80 ;).
To see the post about my hair (a.k.a. the post about how I sleep with my hair wet and wake up to some waves), click here.
Here are my favorite hair products…
And I’m rounding out my personal style with makeup. My style is minimal eye with lipstick…because I love a good lipstick :).
These are all my favorites that I just can’t live without :).
1. Tinted Eye Brightener
2. Mascara
3. Foundation Stick
4. Eye Shadow Primer
5. Lipstick
6. Eyelash curler
7. Eye Shadow Stick
8. Bronzer/Blush duo

Whew! That wraps up my version of today’s Show & Tell Tuesday on Personal Style :).
Listen, the best way to gauge what I like is to follow me on Pinterest. I have boards for the home, food, style, holidays, fitness…Pinterest explains my personal style more than anything. You can find me on Pinterest here and here’s just a peek at some of my boards…
Next time on Show & Tell Tuesday we show our favorite vacation!
Don’t forget that tomorrow is…
…STRANDED!!
The topic tomorrow is if you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take three books, what would they be? Blog and link up TOMORROW!
And one last little thing…
…my Shrimp Stuffed Avocados make the perfect little lunch or light supper. Click here to see my recipe.
Have a great Tuesday!

Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Several things: 1) I will always identify you with skinny jeans, wedges, and a sleeveless top. 2) I never thought the day would come, but I not longer do a double take when I see you in flats or flat sandals. 3) You can rock a pair of black jeans. 4) I'm intrigued by the girl doing ab exercises topless. TALK ABOUT MOTIVATION. 5) Those stuffed avocados have my name written all over them. That is all. 😉
Clatk says
And she is most certainly not flat chested. How in the heck does she run, move, bounce with those things not contained ;)?!?!
Bama Girl in TX says
that is totally the main thing I focused on too!! Clatk – you'd be amazed at what you can do with really big tatas. lol I'm a marathon runner and these babies don't get any smaller. ever.
Narci says
I love you and your style, friend!! You always look so put together!! Xoxo
kelly says
I love seeing your gorgeous home!! Any chance we will get a glimpse of your bedroom? I need ideas 😉
Aubrey says
The cozy throws and squashy sofas make for a lovely house, but those ponies on the mantle and the Lego in the dining room make it a HOME. Love.
Leigh (Balancing By Faith) says
I love that you make shorts and a t-shirt look flawless!! You are one fashionable mama!! And I am totally studying your selfies to figure out how to take a dang selfie in the mirror!!! 😉
Sarah Russell says
With your eyelash curler, do you curl your lashes before or after mascara? I hope I'm not the only one who is lost when it comes to curling lashes! Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I use it before I apply mascara!! It's such a good one!
Kecia Nichols says
Was it hard to figure out how to use it? I have been looking for a new one for a while, but the reviews on this one are so mixed.
Debbie K. says
Your home is cozy, but it is just GORGEOUS!! Either that, or it's my style too. I don't know you personally, but I love following your blog and pinterest boards. You always look so pretty and put together no matter what you are wearing. And because of your informative post, I think I need an Apple watch. LOL Happy Tuesday.

I love the style of your home. It's beautiful and looks cozy at the same time.
Melissa says
Love very bit of your style! BTW, I got the Apple Watch but the fitness app was way off in my calorie count for my spinning class, which is pretty intense (Zengo, which is very similar to SoulCycle). The watch indicated that I burned only 93 calories in 50 minutes and had over 4,000 steps. I am totally drenched in sweat from this intense workout and know that I burned way more than 93 calories. I plan to stop by the Apple Store soon to get some help, but if you have any tips please let me know. Thanks much!
Karen says
I love your style! You always look so cute and put together…..I absolutely adore your home and always look for ideas when you post pictures. Is there any way you would do a post giving us tips and ideas on how to cozy up our homes. I try, but not sure I'm quite there ��
Renee I says
Love your style Shay! Your home is beautiful and should be in a magazine!! WOW!!! and I always envy your clothing style when looking for something to wear! Love your blog! Happy Tuesday from Canada! 🙂
Ann Marie says
I'm catching up on blogging… and girl! I want to gobble up those avocados! Now…. I kinda want to jump in my car and race to your house. Off to read some more! 🙂 Enjoy this warm day, Shay!
V @ X-tremely V says
Your house is so beautiful! I loved the collected feel 🙂
And after seeing your signature look again, I think I need to pick up some wedges and necklaces to jazz of up style 🙂
Stephanie Spring says
Your house looks so cozy! I love it! 🙂
Michele Tucker says
Love the post, and here's a fun little tidbit…my college friend Vanessa, (from CA), who was one of my bridesmaids, her dad is married to Betty Lou! Love her books too ; )
Jen Arthur says
I loved this post! I wanted to link up but I wasn't sure exactly what "personal style" meant other than clothes and I don't have very many recent pics of my outfits! I love the way you covered all the bases though! And your home looks super cozy!!

Another hello from Canada!
Love your sandals, shorts and tee look – my favorite too for summer days at home with the kids.
I know others are asking – I'm hoping you'll post 🙂 – what is your nail polish & lipstick colors in this pic? I think these are the perfect summer pinks 🙂

We are building a custom home in the French Country style. Would you mind sharing your cream cabinet and blue island paint colors?
