Yesterday I talked about velvet bags for this season. And I told you today I'd be sharing what's INSIDE my bag. You guys see what's on the outside and what I carry around with me, so I thought I'd show you what's on the INSIDE. What exactly is in my bag? These are the basics, the staples. First, I'm making it a point to not carry bags TOO big. I'm not very tall, so carrying a huge oversized bag isn't my favorite thing … [Read more...]
Fall Style Alert: Velvet Bags
Velvet EVERYTHING. Bags. Shoes. Jackets. Furniture. Drape me in it. Cover me in it. It began last year and it's going to be super strong this year. And being that I'm a bag gal, velvet bags is what I'm talking about today. Velvet is the perfect way to add texture to your outfit and sprinkling it in with a bag is just the right amount of it. It's a simple way to be "trendy" without being overdone. It's just an accessory, right? … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Making Mocktails From My Cocktails
Something's in the water. Is it just me or have you noticed a baby boom with the millennials? Everywhere I turn, this generation is having babies. So I thought it would be fun to let all you pregos join in on the #FuzzyFriday fun but transforming some of my cocktails into "mocktails". So let's begin! I pulled some of my recent favorites and shared very simply how to make the change. 1. For a super refreshing light drink, … [Read more...]
Home Decor Inspiration: Color Power
There is power in color. It makes us come alive. So when we surround ourselves with colors that we love, it gives us that positive, energizing vibe when we're in that space. I recently came across this New York apartment and was totally inspired by Christina Maven's place. I love that she's not afraid of color and patterns and mixing things up. One of my favorite design tips is that I almost NEVER buy things matching. Like EVER. … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Basil Tom Collins
Hello, weekend! It's time for #FuzzyFriday! Today I'm sharing a twist on a traditional classic, the Tom Collins. I'm incorporating fresh basil into a homemade syrup to bring on that fresh flavor. I personally love to make my simple syrups at home, and this was so refreshing and delicious. I always keep fresh basil on my windowsill in a coffee mug of all places! It's kinda goofy but I don't mind it. … [Read more...]
How To Get Rid Of Self Doubt
We've all dealt with this secret monster in our head. Those voices that say "no you can't do that." "You'll never succeed at that." "You're not good enough for that." Do you struggle with self-doubt? Perhaps you often wonder if you've made the right decision or have only a faint hope that your next job interview, project, deal you're going to land, or even date will turn out well. We start thinking about those fears. The most unfortunate … [Read more...]
Wear This: Business Casual with Banana Republic
Fun factoid about me: Did you know that WAY back when in the day I used to be a financial planner with one of the worlds largest brokerage firms? Yup. I started out working downtown in the ivory tower, and it was glamorous and fun and interesting and an adventure, but it wasn't for me. It was the best learning experience I had on my path to knowing what I wanted in life because it was then that I knew I could never work for anyone other than … [Read more...]

Wear This: WhoWhatWear plus Shop Your Closet
It's no secret I have an affinity for the WhoWhatWear Collection for Target. I love that these pieces have style, they're up with the trends, yet not "trendy" and so dated that we'll get tired of them in 6 months. I also love that I can wear them being my age, and yet so can a gal way younger than me, as well as a woman 15 years older than me. These pieces can be worn to work then out to a dinner party. Versatile and stylish and the best part … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Club Special
Ok first all I can say is WHEW what a week. I think all of us can say that in one way, shape or form. I had the best intentions of sharing some great things and when technical difficulties hit, sometimes we can't do anything about it. When things are out of our control, they're just out of our control. But, needless to say, you're still going to get all those posts. Just after today! So we're technically wrapping up summer this weekend … [Read more...]
