  • My First New York Fashion Week

    How I got there It was late January, I was deep in the Pinterest cave, looking up fashion inspiration when I realized New York Fashion Week was right around the corner. I wondered if I should even try to go, I have only been blogging for a year and my following isn’t that big… but I wondered to myself, if I don’t try would I be missing out on an opportunity? I had always believed that you get more opportunities by trying new things. I mean, the worst case would be that I don’t get invited and then I just work harder for next time. So I sat down, did…

  • Christmas Card 2018 Photoshoot

    Its the most wonderful time of year! This is my husband and I’s first photo shoot for a Christmas card. The year before we used a photo we had taken on a recent trip to NYC.  Personally, I love sending snail mail because it’s so special and sometimes as adults you lose everyday communication with people but sending a Christmas card reminds them that you still care about them and often times reopens conversation with them! It’s a simple gesture that can mean so much. I knew I wanted my outfit to be fabulous so I was super excited about getting the perfect dress from MGC boutique in Apex and…

  • Perfect Gifts for Any Man

    (This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure about affiliate links here.) My husband and I are going on 10 years of being together. Through the years, I have learned a bit about men’s taste in shopping. And basically the short of it is… if it comes in black or blacked out the better! I comprised this list with my husbands help. Some of these items are things he already has and loves ( like the OAC City watch), and some are things he’d like to have (i guess that was my hint hint) The issue I hear most women complain out during the holidays is what to get the…

  • Why Every Girl Boss Needs Shapermint

    I have always been a fan of shapewear for special events, but never for everyday wear. I was use to the compressed, short of breath, waist crushing shapewear that makes you think you look three sizes smaller. So naturally, I never wanted to submit myself to wearing it, especially when I know everyone could tell how uncomfortable I was. The constant tugs to give yourself a breath of air… and don’t even get me started about using the bathroom in these!  Thank goodness Shapermint was kind enough to send me 3 different types of shapewear to review and holy cow… they completely changed my life! Their shapewear is so comfortable,…

  • Autumn & Avery Spring Looks

    Recently I ventured over to Autumn & Avery boutique in Cary, North Carolina. They had a sip and shop event for the social club I am a part of. This was my first time and I was so impressed by their store! They had great size choices as well as the cutest clothes and jewelry to choose from. Even if you are not in North Carolina, you can still shop from this super cute boutique, they have an amazing online store. These are some of the items I scored and you can shop them by clicking on the name of the item or the photo. 1. I am absolutely in…

  • Where to Take Photos in NYC & Packing Tips

    NYC has so many amazing photograph spots but one walk in particular will leave you with enough photos to start a new Instagram! For anyone going to NYC I highly suggest walking the Brooklyn Bridge on a beautiful day. There are some amazing picture opportunities on the bridge itself. Once you get on the Brooklyn side take the DUMBO walking exit at the end of the bridge. After you go down the stairs, make a left and continue straight. This is where you will find EVERY blogger, fashionista, social media influencer and photographer taking pictures with the stunning cobblestone streets, bright red brick and the Brooklyn Bridge in the background…looking…
