what’s new in my wardrobe?

Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog! In today's post, I thought it would be fun to share the new pieces in my wardrobe. I have been shopping quite a bit as of late...but for affordable pieces. I'm talking Walmart and Target finds that I have absolutely fallen in love with! I have never been a true Walmart or Target shopper for clothes, shoes and/or accessories, but I am learning as I'm aging and since we are behaving a little differently now fashion wise - that it's important that my wardr[...]

Gucci, Tarte, Dior: My Favorite Concealers Reviewed

Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog. In today's post I'm sharing three of my favorite concealers. I want to caveat this post by reminding you that I am not a make up expert and I just starting wearing make up around the same time I started the blog. LOL! I know that may sound pretty sad to some of you, but I love my skin and it really wasn't until the last couple of years that I started wearing minimal make up regularly. I am beginning to enjoy putting on a face of make up before going to[...]

RAG & BONE RETRO RUNNER SNEAKERS: THE MOST WORN SNEAKERS IN MY WARDROBE

Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog. In today's post I'm telling all about my most worn sneakers. These are hands down, the sneakers that get worn with outfits when I want a really casual look. I'll let you in on a little secret, I don't really like sneakers. Although I don't really care for them, I have quite a few pair in my closet. The reason for that is as much as I don't like them, there is a need for them. There's always going to be a time when I need to wear a t-shirt and jeans for[...]

Athleisure, but make it a LOOK.

Because comfortable and polished are not mutually exclusive. 💅🏾

One thing Adidas is going to do is give me enough personality to actually style my athleisure. A little retro with denim, a neutral printed set, a full-on paisley moment, and then sporty colorblocking.

And yes, I absolutely believe the matching set is one of adulthood’s greatest inventions. 😂 Put it on, add the right shoe and accessories, and suddenly you look like you had a whole plan.

So tell me: 1, 2, 3 or 4? 👀

All white, but the proportions are what make it work. 🤍

Relaxed on top, defined at the waist, long through the leg—and just a tiny pop of color at the sleeve. Proof that a simple outfit doesn’t have to be a boring outfit.

Sometimes the styling trick really is that simple: add the belt. 🤎

This dress has an easy, relaxed shape on its own, but defining the waist completely changes the silhouette. The cognac also warms up this soft sage beautifully—and suddenly a simple dress feels intentional.

A lotta classic, a little charming, always polished. ✨

Viral? Yes. Effective? Also yes. Smells amazing? Well… 😬😂

I tried the viral body wash + body cream everyone has been talking about, and I have THOUGHTS.

The good news: the products actually do what they’re supposed to do. My skin feels clean, soft and moisturized — so from a performance standpoint, I get the hype.

But the scent? Let’s just say I’m not reaching for these because I want to smell delicious. 😂

Would I keep using them? Watch the review for my final verdict.

The little black dress—with a little more personality. 🖤

I love the feminine ruffle detail, easy swing silhouette and contrast trim on this one. It’s comfortable enough to throw on and go, but still feels polished with a few gold accessories.

An easy one-and-done outfit that does all the work for you.
