Holiday Looks 2024

We are one week out until Christmas…how did that happen?

If you are still in need of some holiday looks RUN to Old Navy, Kohl’s or Abercrombie for all the velvet, sequins, and holiday sparkle! Here are a few looks I threw together for this year. 2024 just got away from me, not sure about anyone else but it came and went fast.

Hope you enjoy and have a great holiday!

How are we already this far into December? Time is escaping me and I’m trying to soak up all the holiday fun and festivities, work and enjoy all of it!

Key Pieces I'm Loving Right Now

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?

10 Things To Do Before You Start A Blog

Happy Wednesday friend!

Let’s talk blogging and where to even start when creating a blog. Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to even start blogging and what steps to take once you’ve decided to build a blog.

You’re in luck I’ve been blogging almost five years and when I first started there was nothing out there that gave me the exact steps to take to start building that blog. I went through tons of frustrations and late nights trying to make it all come together for myself. After going though all that I decided to create a checklist for women looking to start a blog that would give them the steps they need to really get started with that! This was a passion project for me as I didn’t have a resource like this so I made one for YOU! This checklist will give you the ten things you need to do before you start a blog and will help set you up for blogging success!

I’m offering this complimentary resource to you in hopes that it will take all the questions out of the process and help guide you on the path of building your blog!

Why To Invest In Your Social Media

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to talk to you today about the importance of keeping up with social media and why whether you have a small business or are an entrepreneur it is important to invest in your social media. That could be through hiring a consultant like myself or getting investing in a course and learning for yourself.

Right now more than ever it is important for businesses and anyone with a service to have an online presence, Facebook, Instagram, a website, a email newsletter all very needed. Each social account brings a different audience to your website and will hopefully in turn bring you business if you show up consistently and strategically enough.

As we head into April I will be opening up 2 spots to work with me on social media and content. Whether you need help sprucing up your Instagram profile or making a monthly newsletter from scratch I can help you!

Dressing Up in 2021

Happy Wednesday Friends!

I wanted to talk about dressing up this year as 2020 was kind of a wash when it came to wearing our fancy dresses and those special occasion heels right?

So this year I’m talking advantage of any outing to wear one of my cute outfits or even over dress and where the sparkle and everything and just be a little bit extra to make up for last year and not getting any opportunity to wear all the fun clothes!

That being said I’m sharing below one of my favorite fancy dresses currently from Maggy London, I’m obsessed with this emerald green number that is perfect for a wedding or the holiday season. The midi length keeps it super classy and you can still show off your favorite pair of shoes!

Are you wearing all the fun clothes this year that didn’t get a moment last year?

Thanksgiving Style & Complimentary Webinar

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Last week I shared the same dress in a beautiful solid cranberry color but this week I wanted to share this dress from Maggy London in this floral print that I think is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving! If you dress up for Thanksgiving this would be great and it’s fun with the tie neck detail and pockets!

Pair this with wedges or flats and you’re set for holiday dinner! I personally love to pair this with a block heel and velvet bag to bring those rich tones and textures to the look.

As we get closer and closer to the holiday season it becomes more and more important to management and plan content to be more effective and show up for your audience. As a lot of you also have a blog or work with social media for a business I wanted to make sure you know that tomorrow I’m hosting a complimentary webinar on how to become a master of content management and planning!

Go Bananas! -LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

As spring is approaching I’m pulling out all the dresses! I absolutely love a t-shirt dress and this one from LC Lauren Conrad is super fun with the banana print! I actually picked this up this winter at Kohl’s on clearance! You can still find it online for $10 it’s a steal! Something here in Florida I can wear all year long especially spring and summer! We all love pieces that can be worn all throughout the year and honestly here in the sunshine state I wear a lot of dresses!

I paired it with some LC Lauren Conrad rose gold sandals and my favorite amazon clear bag from last year! This is perfect for brunch or running errands! Also would be cute paired with a denim jacket and sneakers too for a more casual look! T-shirt dresses are great for all figures and I love that this one has the cute print and tie sleeves, the fabric is a dream too!

This year I’m focusing on being more intentional with my purchases and that goes for clothes too! Shopping my closet more and donating more if I want to purchase some new things! I’m definitely paying more attention to what I’m spending money on!

I’m so excited to share more spring fashion with y’all over the next few months!

What do you like to wear during spring time? Let me know below!

Blush Pink Spring Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

On Wednesdays we wear pink and I am so ready for spring and all the pastels! I’ve been living for this faux wrap dress from LC Lauren Conrad and I want it in every color! This dress is perfect for all body types with its fit and flare skirt and bubble sleeves it’s super flattering and fun for all seasons! It comes in several colors and is available at Kohl’s. This dress definitely runs true to size, if you’re curvier I recommend sizing up one, but I found my regular size large fit perfect!

I paired it with this Chanel dupe and LC Lauren Conrad block heels. This is a great look for Valentine’s, Easter, bridal showers, brunch, it’s a great dress to have in your closet! It can definitely be worn with some ballet flats and jean jacket or dressed up like this!

Pastels are classic for spring and you will be seeing a lot more pastels on the blog this season!
