    Blue shoes on the block

    Hi guys, Happy holiday season! I’m currently off for next 6 days and I’m super excited about relaxing and taking it easy. For the last two and a half months I’ve been extremely conscious about shopping. I re-evaluated my closet and decided I didn’t need to buy anything just because it’s on sale. However, I decided to treat myself early for my birthday to a pair of fabulous blue shoes. I call them “The blue shoes on the block.” This post contains affiliate links When the shoes arrived I felt a little guilt. To be honest I wasn’t as excited as I thought I should be. Then I decided to…

    Holiday Outfit Challenge

    Hey guys I hope you all are doing well! About two weeks ago I was brainstorming trying to figure out what my next YouTube video could be on. I decided to pull out all my holiday pieces from my closet (tartan, sequin, velvet, red, black, green) to encourage others to look in their closet and style what they already have. I was literally thinking of stuff I have in my sleep like my tartan shoes. And that’s how the holiday outfit challenge started.

    Fall outfit of the day

    Banana Republic Heritage Collection was a hit for me this season. I love the muscle tank graphic T-shirt, the safari romper, the mini asymmetrical khaki skirt, the midi sleeveless dress and boiler suit. For men they have a safari vest that I believe can be worn by a woman too. The heritage collection is timeless. The neutral colors are perfect to transition from summer to fall and because of the earth tone colors they pair well with anything. This post contain affiliate links Ootd #1 The first piece I purchased was the mini asymmetrical skirt. I styled it with a “Happy Hour” t-shirt and animal print sneakers. The second way…

    Fall Outfits

    Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the warm yet nippy air. I enjoy witnessing the changing of the foliage on the trees. It’s something about fall that gives me cuddle up, cozy, family vibes. Today on the blog I will be sharing fall outfits. There are some amazing colors trending for fall outfits. I usually gravitate towards brown, orange, purple, off-white, yellow and green. First up is the popover dresses in dark spruce and the stadium wool coat in smoke cocoa. Animal print is always a classic timeless print for fall outfits. I love to have shoes, a scarf, belt or purse in animal print to accessorize…

    Weekend Family Getaway

    Can we say summer is officially over? Well typically after Labor Day the carpet is rolled up and it’s on to preparing for Halloween and Thanksgiving. But because we didn’t get to hang out at the beach often this summer or visit Martha’s Vineyard, we decided on a weekend family getaway. What’s more fun than hanging out with your family. If my kids had it their way they‘ll stay home playing video games and hanging out with their friends (teenagers). We are typically last minute planners. I usually have it planned in my head but to execute, it’s usually at the 9th hour. I knew I wanted to go to…

    Backyard Pictures

    Quarantine has us being pretty creative at home. My neighbor had movie night in the backyard. Then there’s virtual parties online or drive by celebrations. When I purchased these cute dresses from Target I knew I wanted to do something fun with my daughter so I decided backyard pictures. I figured I’ll create a garden party theme and we’ll have brunch on the grass. It wasn’t an easy task keeping the bugs away but we managed to make it happen. I grabbed a blanket, some throw pillows, (you must have a furry one) beach hat, mason jar mugs, charger plates, a scented candle, mirror with string lights, and center pieces.…

    Summer Sale

    Hey guys I know it’s been a minute I’ve been creating content over on YouTube. I promise I’m going to find the balance one day. Any who how have you all been? I’m excited about summer although it seems to be moving pretty fast. Speaking of summer there are some really amazing summer sales going on. Last week I picked up this fabulous taffeta maxi dress for 70% off. It runs slightly big so I would recommend sizing down. I also grabbed a cute tunic dress for 30 bucks as well. I managed to pick up a pair of suede flats which I like to have for work, although we…
