August might be the hottest month we've had thus far, but fall merchandise is hitting the shelves and I can't help but browse. I've always loved a "summer sweater" moment with distressed shorts and now that fall is on the horizon, I am starting to pick up a few that I can actually wear now and later on this fall. ...
Wednesday night I was asked to speak at the FGI Dallas Fall Forum on the Influencer Panel. During the discussion, the topic of "Digital Detox" came up.
I've always felt very passionate about finding a work/life balance that works for you, but I also think it's important for content creators, influencers and bloggers to know that it's ok to unplug. In a world where we're all obsessed with sharing on social media and being on our phones snapping everything, I think it's so important to take time for breaks. You might think this sounds a little crazy coming from someone whose career is made through social media and a website, and believe me, it's hard for me too! But there's something to be said for putting my phone down and being present with friends and family. ...
I often get asked what quality pieces I like to keep in my wardrobe that can be worn year round. I always say a white blouse, trousers or jeans, and a good pair of flats. Think versatile pieces that you can wear under layers and opt for shoes that are actually comfortable. ...
A lot of people have smartwatches these days. I’m always somewhat mesmerized whenever I see someone read a notification, take a call, or track their fitness on their watch. Last week, I decided to join the smartwatch club and I am enjoying it for a lot of reasons. ...
July came and went in what felt like minutes. Even with a newborn baby it felt like that month flew by! Anyways, it's time for a new Top Ten roundup.
I was surprised to see this body lotion up there again, you guys love that stuff. I'm not surprised the Perfect Pocket T-Shirt was so popular -- it's such a great basic. ...
Being someone who lives in layers year-round, it's about time I share my "tested and approved" take on white t-shirts. We all want that white t-shirt that isn't sheer, has the best relaxed fit, and is the perfect length for a front tuck. And after years of trying different brands and styles, I've narrowed it down to four that I have on rotation. ...
You've probably seen the latest trend in jewelry: boho, beaded and friendship style bracelets. Which immediately takes me back to summer camp and I am here. for. it! Don't get me wrong, I love my delicate pieces, but lately, I've been drawn to these fun stackable bracelets and cuffs -- especially the Santorini cuff (now on sale) from Victoria Emerson. ...
Creating Instagram Stories is one of my favorite ways to connect with our community on social media. It's a more creative and natural way to produce content while giving your audience a look into more of your day or behind-the-scenes on a collaboration/project. It allows me to engage with my community better than any other app! Did you know that Instagram Stories have been growing drastically since the big debut in 2016. According to Tech Crunch, as of January 2019, there are 500MM daily Instagram Stories users (half of Instagram’s 1 billion total users). Which makes this platform essential to any small business owner or content creator. ...
Being a new mom, I like my jeans to hold me in just a bit. Unfortunately, low-rise isn't an option right now and let's be real - high waist denim is much more forgiving! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the ideal time to stock up on designer denim. And if you're like me, you love a good pair of jeans in your wardrobe.
Below, I've rounded up my top picks for high-rise, flattering denim. I tried a lot of these on in-store (which isn't so fun when you are 7 weeks postpartum but here we are!) and included details on sizing and fit for those that I tried. ...
