Celebrating National Consignment Day

No Comments

“I secondhand shop because I love it when someone else pays full price first.” I love going to a consignment store and ruffling through rack after rack of clothes. I have seen items from Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren to James Perse and Tory Burch, all at a fraction of their original {full} price. Today, October 2nd, is the first-ever National Consignment Day! Consigning is a great way to make smart, sustainable fashion choices and earn some extra money, especially right now before the holiday! {**This post contains affiliate links.

I’m talking about having body confidence. Body confidence is something that everyone, females and males alike, have struggled with at one time or another in their lives. Body confidence doesn’t come from trying to achieve the “perfect” body. It comes from embracing the one you’ve already got. Earlier this year, I wrote a blog post about taking control of your […]

Dinner Party with the “Original Supermodels”

No Comments

With New York Fashion Week in the books and London Fashion Week now in full swing, I decided to throw another one of my {imaginary} dinner parties. This time I’m inviting the original supermodels from my era, the 1990s. My guests include Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Tatjana Patitz. The new era of “supermodels” began in the 1990s, with the era-defining British Vogue cover of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Tatjana Patitz. They embodied the term “supermodel”. Today, these five women are regarded as the “Original Supermodels” or as “The Big Five” […]

Unboxing FabFitFun’s Fall Box + Promo Code

No Comments

I sat down this past weekend to unbox my FabFitFun Fall box and oohed and aahed over everything I pulled out. I, for one, get excited about seeing all the products in this quarterly subscription box, especially the items I pre-selected as a #fabfitfunpartner. Even though it’s pumpkin spice season, there wasn’t any pumpkin spiced items in the box, but I do have a special promo code (which is almost as good as pumpkin spice) for you to use so you can enjoy your own #fabfitfun box! {*Disclosure: I am a FabFitFun Affiliate, which means if you order from my blog posts, I […]

Fashion Trends to Try This Fall

No Comments

My oldest niece, Kyra, pointed out a week or so ago that Fall doesn’t officially start until September 22nd. But with the official start of Fall less than three weeks away, now is the time to check out the trends that were all over the runway and see how you can incorporate them into your every day style this Fall. 1. 3-D Flowers, like the Ivanka Trump beaded 3D-floral dress. Or the stunning white wedding dress from Marchesa (even though this is from the Spring and not the Fall, this dress would be perfect for a sunny Fall wedding day). […]
