2016 marks the seventh year of HauteThought’s existence. That’s right, I’ve been blabbing in my own corner of the Internet for seven whole years. That number took me by surprise. I feel like I’m still getting my feet wet, slowly trying to figure out topics and points of focus, yet this blog has been around for … Continue reading
If you know anything about me, or have scrolled through my Instagram feed for a hot second, you’d know that I have a slight interest in the royal family, specifically in Kate Middleton. By that I mean I’ll read the occasional article or check out a post on her most recent fashions. I’m laughing as … Continue reading
Last October, I wrote a post for my dad’s birthday, full of things I’d learned from him. At the end of that post, I promised a version for my mom’s birthday, which happens to fall on Valentine’s Day (cue the oohs and ahhs). To honor my mom’s true self, I’m showing up to this party … Continue reading
