It's Summer. We should be thinking about swimming, the beach, and special time with family and friends. Our attire should be light and airy. The last thing on our minds are sweaters and boots when it's 100 degrees outside! Retailers and social media, however, see things differently. We can no longer savor or live in the moment. The world is always one step ahead and moving forward. As soon as we settle in, the pressure arises to forge on and tackle something new. Whether it be next season's fashion or another Holiday, there's no time to breathe. You may be wondering where I am going with this post or what evoked these thoughts. Sadly enough, it's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. As I am typing this, I completely ...
The Key to Amazon
For a long time I was an Amazon skeptic. I worried that the fashionable images online were a farce, simply stolen pictures from a more reputable site. I feared the package that arrived on my doorstep 2 days later, would be nothing more than a cheaply made garment meant for the trash! Sometimes this theory is quite accurate (lol), but I have learned to navigate the greatest online shopping haven in the world we call Amazon. After getting acclimated, I can honestly say that I am addicted! Everything you need is a click ...
Invisalign: Week 16
It's hard to believe that it's the end of another school year and Summer 2019 is upon us! Time is passing by at lightning speed! This week Mia wraps up second grade and Gianna will say goodbye to elementary school! I have never been more scared in my life! Middle school is a frightening place and tweens who eventually morph into teenagers are an evil species. Pray for me now! I am on week 16 of my Invisalign journey! I'm still in disbelief. I never really thought I would take the plunge and correct something that has always made me self ...
Matilda
I have been so wrapped up with clients and social media blogging, that I hardly ever have time to write. I promised myself that I would only engage on my blog when I was feeling inspired or really felt compelled to share an amazing piece. As a reminder, all of my daily looks can be found on the shop my looks tab and I update my Amazon finds almost weekly! This weekend, however, was one for the books, and my emotions are in overdrive. If you have been following me since the beginning, then you know my oldest daughter Gianna (the non ...
Invisalign: Month 3
What a busy and blessed weekend celebrating our baby Mia Rose. It was so nice to be surrounded by our family and closest friends to witness her first Holy Communion. She looked like a princess. At the reception, a few of my guests saw me taking out my Invisalign to eat. They were dumbfounded! They had no idea that I even had braces. My cousin replied, "Now I truly understand where the Invisalign name originated. They certainly are invisible!" Sometimes, I still get a little insecure smiling because I am not sure what others see. ...
Freezing a Moment
I barely have time to write anymore. Between the chaos of being a mom, styling, and tending to the daily chores, blogging has taken a backseat. After receiving the final images from some of my recent clients, however, I felt inspired to share! It's no secret that I love photographs. Most of my family and friends, however, shy away from the camera and rarely jump in a picture. When I look back through old snapshots, it makes me sad to see minimal photographs showcasing my loved ones. In years to come, these 4x6 glossy images will be the ...
