What's On The Horizon for Lifestyle with Laramie

Happy Wednesday, friends!

It’s been a minute since I’ve given you an update with the blog and my business so here’s what’s coming…I have major goals for 2022 for this space and one of those major things is a subscription service so that you can access all the things I made for my course last year but in a more affordable way and easy to access. New material will still be added to the “course” library as well!

I will also be making more resources that go along with what I do for my social media consulting clients. These items will be made public so that if you are interested you can grab these as well!

I am about to my full capacity with consulting clients, so if you are interested in working together click HERE to schedule your complimentary call with me before I run out of spots!

Lastly, I will still be working with blogging client 1:1 if you need help building your blog and monetizing it or if you need to restructure how you plan and make content and streamline the process I’m here for you whatever you need!

I have tons of holiday content coming for y’all and I can’t wait to share it!

All Treats No Tricks

Happy Wednesday friends!

With Halloween this weekend I wanted to share some ideas if you are hosting a party or just want some themed snacks for the day!

We hosted a All Treats No Tricks party for our apartment complex and it was a hit and I loved how it came together and want to share the snacks we did. We had a candy board with treat bags for goodies for later. We also had a pumpkin board with cheese and crackers and all that yummy stuff and used blackberries to make the face of the pumpkin. Along with a caramel apple bar (nacho style) so that they were easier to eat with all the toppings so everyone could customize their apples! Top that off with fudge, cupcakes, cookies and all the TREATS! We also had some awesome games too for everyone to enjoy, check those out below! I’m sharing some photos below as well as a reel over on my IG if you want to see how it all turned out!

I hope y’all have a great Halloween and stay safe!

All My Favorite Fall Fashion

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share some of my favorite fall fashion with you from over the years! It’s no secret we don’t really have fall here in Florida but we still like to break out the boots and the jackets!

I’m a lover of jeans, sweaters, midi dresses and layering pieces in the fall time going into winter. Layers especially because if it gets to hot you can shed some layers as the day goes on.

My favorite brands for fall would have to be mainly LC Lauren Conrad and Old Navy. Let’s not forget fall accessories; scarves, hats, and gold accessories! Anyone else?

Check out some of my favorite looks for fall below!

Happy Fall Y'all

Happy Wednesday friends!

We spent the weekend doing all the fall things and I wanted to share some of our moments!

We hit Magic Kingdom and Epcot on Saturday with our friends. It was so fun to see the fall decorations at Magic Kingdom and all the special things Disney has done for the 50 year anniversary! We hit Epcot in the evening for the food and wine festival and to check out the new fireworks, and y’all it was amazing!

Sunday we went to Southern Hill Farms in Clermont. If you’re in the Orlando area I highly recommend you check them out! They do a few different things throughout the year and it has been a tradition for all of us for the last few years. They have beautiful flower fields perfect for photos and of course all the fall treats and festivities so it is the perfect event for the season! Highly recommend!

Taking My Summer Uniform Into 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?

1 Year Self-Employed! We Made It!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

This week is another huge milestone and one that probably means the most to me!

Today is the one year anniversary of me leaving my 9-5 office job to pursue my dream of working for myself. This is something I never thought would be possible and just a dream that I would talk about but never truly pursue. To leave the comfort of a consistent paycheck is the scariest thing I’ve probably ever done to be honest!

2020 taught us a lot of things and there were a lot of things that accumulated to help me make that decision to leave. I thought if not now then when? When would I take the leap and bet on myself? So after everything we went through in 2020 I got the push I needed and just did it!

It helps that I had the support of my husband and my business coach and my friends and family but I knew even some of them thought I was a little crazy, but here we are 1 year later and I wouldn’t give this rollercoaster up for anything!

No the journey hasn’t been easy AT ALL but all the blood, sweat, and tears have been worth it and will continue to be worth it as I continue to build my brand and my business! I’m blessed that I can work from anywhere at any time. I’m grateful that this year so far I’ve been able to take mental health days when needed and a 7 day vacation with my family without worrying about using all my PTO or what I’m going to come back to once the trip is over. I’m so happy I can have lunch with my dad or take the day off when my mom has the day off, all things I couldn’t do before. I now have the FREEDOM to live a life that I want and am proud of!

I have a long way to go but in the one year I’ve come so far! I make more than I did at my full time job, I live a life that I create and even though it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done I’m so proud I took this step instead of just talking about it the rest of my life! In this first year I also built a course to help other women like myself build a blog that they could monetize whether for a hobby or make it a career! If you want this to be your narrative too sign up for my waitlist HERE to be the first to know when my course is coming back!

I can’t thank y’all enough for being there for me on this ride! It’s just the beginning and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us, because I’m taking y’all with me!

Photo Tips & Resources for Blogging and Instagram

Happy Wednesday, friends!

This week here on the blog I wanted to talk about some photo tips and resources that will help any of you content creators out there. Whether you take photos just for social media or use photography on your blog as well or for your business I have some things you could try!

First off having a consistent photo style as a content creator is key. For example whether I have my photographer take my photos or I take them myself they are always in the light and bright style. To achieve this myself I use my own presets which I love when I can’t work with my photographer. You can actually use these presets yourself as well! You can grab them HERE and start using them to better your photos!

Another resource that will help you elevate your photos is my E-book where I discuss how to figure out what content to shoot, how to figure out your style, my process, how to find a photographer that’s right for you, movement and posing and so much more! This resource is for you whether you work with a professional photographer or self shoot your photos! It comes with bonus items and actionable steps and will elevate your photo game! You can grab it HERE and start improving your photos today!

If you have any photo questions let me know in the comments!
