Happy Fall!
This is as “fall” as it’s getting right now here in Florida, because it’s still super hot!
Hopefully will start to slowly cool off here so I can share some true fall outfits with you, but for now…this is it!
Hi Friends!
It’s been a while but I wanted to catch you up and give you some life updates! The holidays were extremely busy and we had quit a few life changes mixed into the last month of 2022 so I took a step back from social to focus on business.
In December Travis was let go from his job in mortgage, if you’re in that industry you get it, he’s making some career changes and helping me while I’m building my business A LOT! So needless to say we are working a lot right now building something that will provide us a lot of freedoms in the future!
Fast forward to the new year, my word for the year is CHANGE as there are many changes I’m hoping to make and see come to fruition this year! I’m focused strongly on my business and creating a healthier and more balanced lifestyle!
As we start to head into February already, wow! I’ll be bringing you all more lifestyle and fashion content along with some business tips and strategies that I’m loving!
Cheers to the new year friends!
Today is an exciting day! 6 years ago I launched this blog that would most certainly change my life!
Thank you to y’all for supporting this dream and reading posts and interacting with me on this and my social media platforms! This blog has evolved from just a place to share affordable fashion to a platform to help y’all with social media and blogging tips, curvy affordable fashion, and everything lifestyle!
Sharing some of my favorite moment’s on the blog below to celebrate the best 6 years! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Happy Wednesday friends!
We are about to enter Q2 already and I’m so excited to be moving ahead and see what’s in store!
In Q1 I made the decision to hire a new business coach and she has been such a pleasure to work with and learn from. I’ve started implementing new systems and practices to better my business and show up more for my clients. I’ve been restructuring how I show up on social media as well and though I haven’t been on IG much lately I’m planning things out to be there more consistently, sometimes we all need a refresh and a reboot! Hi, that’s me!
However looking into Q2 things will be shifting and changing. We will find out if we are staying at our current place or will be considering house hunting…hard to fathom right now! I will also be accepting new clients! So if you are interested in working with me quarter 2 click HERE and fill out our preliminary survey! I would love to work with you in the new quarter to help you show up for your ideal client on social media and free up some of your valuable time by taking over posting for you! I will also be showing up in different ways on social media, so make sure to turn on your post notifications for that! I’m excited for all that 2022 holds still even thought the first few months have been a little bumpy, I’m ready for the challenge!
Now tell me…what are your Q2 business goals? How are you accomplishing them? What might you need help with? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy Wednesday friends!
I hope your new year has been off to a great start so far! We were sick during the holidays and are finally getting over it, as I was suffering from a sinus infection that kept lingering…ugh!
But enough of that, I wanted to share some updates and some goals I have for the new year with you! First off we are hoping and praying that this might be the year we get a house, now this is not for certain and hard to think about with the FL housing market booming and everyone moving here so we are keeping options open but that is something I would LOVE for us this year! As far as business goals, I’m hoping to double my income from last year and continue to serve my clients and help you all thrive on social media! If you need help building your social media let me know HERE!
A few personal goals include, I’m sure like most, to drink more water, move my body more and focus on my mental and physical health. Not for weight lose but to feel better!
I hope you have great success this year and would love to hear some of your goals for the year!
Happy first day of fall y’all!
I’m so excited to share this look with you! I teamed up with Zestt Organics to share their beautiful new lightweight travel wrap in this stunning bronze color way! This outfit is so perfect for fall and I love it for travel as well!
I love Zestt Organics pieces I tend to wear mine lounging around the house or when I’m traveling they are just perfect and cozy and make great gifts as well! I can’t recommend checking them out enough!
Now that it’s officially fall we’ll be pulling out the fall décor here probably this weekend as well as making some fall plans for going to the pumpkin patch and do all the fall things!
I would love to know what y’all what to see fall wise! Fall recipes? Fall décor? You name it! Let me know!
Happy Wednesday friends!
Hope you’re having a great week so far!
I wanted to share a fun look from LC Lauren Conrad that I’ll also be taking into fall with me! All these pieces would be great in fall as well just wore different of course!
I’m loving the top and and how it could also be worn with jeans and the same heels and bag. The skirt would be so cute with a sweater and some booties and the accessories would go with a ton of looks for fall as well!
I’m working more on purchasing more basics and items that can we worn all year long and multiple ways as it’s something I haven’t always been good at.
What are your favorite pieces for fall?
Happy Wednesday friends and happy September!
It’s so crazy to think we are already into September and getting ready for fall!
It’s still super hot here in Florida so I wanted to share one of my favorite summer uniforms and how I’m taking some of those pieces into fall as well.
Y’all know I love dresses and rompers for summer but I’ve also been loving a form fitting simple top with high waisted shorts. If you’ve been following along I’ve actually shared a few looks like this and they have become one of my go to looks. I usually change up the bag and the shoes depending on where I’m going.
How I’ve paired the outfit here with wedges and cute little bag makes it a great outfit for brunch or shopping, it’s a little more girly and cute. I also love the same pieces with sporty white sneakers and a cross body bag if I’m running errands or know I’ll be walking around. With that being said I’ll be taking several of these pieces into fall with me. The top, shoes, and bag would all be cute with a pair of jeans and a cute jacket or sweater for fall. I’m working on building up my wardrobe basics so that outfit pairing is easier and little more classic.
The shorts, wedges and bag are all from LC Lauren Conrad and let me tell you the shorts I’ve bought in the other colors as well and love them for all sizes. I sized up for a looser fit and love how practical they are. The top is from Loft and again I’ve been buying some great basic tops from Loft, Macy’s and LC Lauren Conrad and they have really worked in my wardrobe for meeting clients, running errands, and everything in between. I just love that they are a little more elevated than just a simple t-shirt.
What are you taking from your summer wardrobe into fall?
As summer comes to close even though here in the sunshine state it’s boiling hot, I wanted to give an ode to summer as it is my favorite season next to winter! The whole year has been a bit different but summer especially was different for me and my family! Summer is the time we vacation and visit family up north which is unfortunately on the back burner until regulations change on some things. It’s been a tough season this year.
However some really exciting things have happened this summer! I hired a business coach at the start of summer and she has brought me into a new season of working for myself! This summer all within a couple of month’s Travis lost his job, started an amazing new job, and I left my job to pursue my passion, y’all it’s unreal to think this is our life right now!
So just remember no matter how tough things get there is something better coming! I promise! You just need to believe it!

Happy Wednesday Friend!
We are wrapping up the apartment refresh this week here on the blog! Final room we are covering is the bathroom, another room that is super easy to refresh on a budget, think shower curtain, towels, rugs, etc. LC Lauren Conrad has such great option to refresh your bathroom and at great prices too and the quality y’all know if amazing!
I’m a lover of pastels so these pieces really spoke to me! The tropical pastel shower curtain paired with the textured hand towels and the super soft bath mat, highly recommend and again it won’t break the bank!
We live in a one bedroom apartment so when we do have friends over they use our bathroom so we really try to keep it clean and put together and these simple things make it that much nicer of a room.
That concludes our apartment refresh! I had the best time collaborating with LC Lauren Conrad and Kohl’s on this and hope y’all enjoy it and do your own affordable home or apartment refresh!

Hi Friends!
Next room on our refresh list and probably one of the most easy in my opinion is the bedroom! LC Lauren Conrad has some amazing bedding options and this white quilt with matching shams is seriously the softest coziest bedding ever! The teal and white throw pillows are perfect accents to the neutral tone of the bedding and I honestly love blue tones because they are so calming!
Bedding sets are probably the easiest and most inexpensive may to refresh your bedroom! Add your own touch with the throw pillows, with color and texture!
I’m also wearing LC Lauren Conrad here, one of my favorite dress styles of hers that comes in a bunch of colors and prints and is perfect for any time of year here in FL. This would be cute with a denim jacket and some booties for fall or with sandals and a straw bag for summer! This would definitely be a staple dress that I recommend you grab!

Hi Friends!
Long time no talk! I took a bit of a hiatus for a bit as I hired a business coach a few months ago to help me take my business to the next level so I’ve been really dedicating so much time and energy to building the blog and offerings to benefit y’all even more! With that being said I will share more about all of this later and some big changes I’m making!
Today I wanted to share part 1 of my apartment refresh that LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s helped me with! As we have all been staying home more and focusing on improving our space I teamed up with LC Lauren Conrad on a fun refresh that you too can do to your home or apartment!
First off is the living room. Let’s be honest we probably spend most of our time in the living room when we are home and this beautiful LC Lauren Conrad Rug really brought the space together and the rug is such great quality and very soft! I love the colors too and can say enough good things about this rug for the space! The brand offers several different rugs all unique and very different than anything I’ve seen so needless to say I’m impressed!
So next time your want to refresh your living area think of changing out the throw pillows or the rug as they are quick and decently inexpensive things to change! A rug really helps define a space and in an apartment it really helps make it feel more homey!
I’ve also been obsessed with this outfit also from LC Lauren Conrad as it’s still very hot here in Florida and shorts and light weight tops is where it’s at! I have these shorts and this top in multiple colors and they are definitely staples for me! Great quality and signature pieces that I can’t recommend enough as well!
