This might sound cliche, but after turning 30, I started to think about self-care and what it means. I guess it’s because I noticed a few changes when I hit 30, and while some of the changes have been great, other’s have reminded me that I’m also getting older, LOL. So, when I think about self-care, there really is no right or wrong answer because it can mean different things to different people. Some people might choose to travel, some make it a priority to spend more time with loved ones, and others might start paying more attention to their health. This year…I tend to focus on all of the above, but when I think of health, it’s a topic I feel like I’ve neglected in my 20’s, and I realized it could be anything as simple as developing habits… View Post

When I think of the 70’s, I think of diversity and a different kind of style…when both men and women wore shaggy haircuts, platform shoes, and high-waisted bell-bottoms. Now here we are today, and I find it pretty freakin’ awesome that the 70’s has such an impact on today’s fashion. But I have to give credit where credit is due, and it wasn’t until after I posted photos in these jeans that I decided they deserved a post. It all started when I took a trip to Bloomingdales and came across these boogie down bell-bottoms from Free People. I hadn’t tried on a pair of bell-bottoms in forever, so of course I was curious to see how they’d fit! While I walked to the fitting room, I remembered a close friend mentioning she owned the same pair I was about… View Post

Besides the fact that my hair looks shinier, the leaves turn color, and the humidity slowly begins to disappear, a part of what I love most about Fall is reading up on what’s trending. While there’s so many trends to fall in love with this season, I was pumped to see that dresses continue to parade the streets. However, this time around, it’s the Prairie dress that’s making a statement. I’m sure you’re familiar with the classic books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Little House on the Prairie and if you aren’t you should be, because this is where the inspiration on Prairie dresses originated. A time during the late 1800’s, when women felt restrained from wearing particular clothing. Only suddenly there’s a modern twist on today’s generation of Prairie dresses, and what once was conservative is now a mix… View Post

With matching sets all over the scene this year and so many styles being a hit, it isn’t easy trying to find one that keeps you styling from head to toe. To top it all off, most of the pieces I was crushing over were sold online, which made it even more challenging! One thing I told myself was that I wasn’t going to settle for just any kind of two piece, nor was I going to spend money on something I wasn’t 100% in love with. So, the only way I was going to be overly obsessed with my choice was to focus on the pros and cons for each set I ordered. After several attempts, I wish I’d gotten a warning about the matching set debacle! But, you guys are just in luck because today I’m sharing my guide… View Post

Shopping should be a fun thing right? Well no, not always, not for me anyway. There’s certain items I have a love/hate relationship for. It’s the feeling when summer roles around, and I’m happy to finally be getting some vitamin D, but I get a little anxious when shopping for swimsuits. Unfortunately, theres no getting around it, and if you plan on heading to the beach, lounging by the pool, or planning a get-a-way to your next vacation, you should be doing it in style! Finding the right swimsuit can be stressful for numerous reasons, but one thing I try to keep in mind when searching for the right one is that we all have different shapes, and we should embrace that. I’ll be honest, I don’t always feel comfortable showing off my body, but I’m starting to become more… View Post
