OMG🙀 OCTOBER MARKS 8 YEARS OF BLOGGING...EXCUSE OMG🙀 OCTOBER MARKS 8 YEARS OF BLOGGING...EXCUSE ME???? Here are some fun facts about my blogging journey👏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☝🏻 My first blog name was called Pink Champagne Problems...which is funny because I was a 20 year old who certainly wasn't drinking a lot of champagne OR had any real problems. Like okkkkk Dana.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👀 I started my blog as a "student blogger" (which I got paid to do🤣) at my college to share what life was like on campus, but then I just started taking pictures of my outfits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥰 I've worked with some really cool brands and done some really cool things -- from fun events, to press trips, to creating content for ACTUAL marketing purposes. It's been a dream to be able to do this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👩🏻‍💻 While I definitely thought about blogging full time, I think deep down I always knew I'm just not cut out for it. While I LOVE doing this, I could never picture myself trying to do it full time. If you know me, you know I LOVE being a merchandiser. It's my absolute DREAM career, so why would I give it up if I realistically am able to handle both jobs?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 〰️ I decided to rebrand in 2018 to The Champagne Edit, and I didn't really love it. But I stuck it out until 2020, when I rebranded to It's Casual. This feels WAY MORE ME. And I hope It's Casual is around for a long time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙏🏻 I've met so many people thanks to this industry. From bloggers, to PR people, to artists, to people who work for brands. It's been pretty cool to "meet" people from all over the world -- something that would never happen if this world didn't exist.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️ And lastly, I wouldn't be where I am today (both personally and professionally) without YOU. Numbers and income aside, I wouldn't have kept up with this space for this long if I didn't think there was a REASON to. I love showing you my life. I love sharing my outfits. I love asking for your opinion. I love connecting with you. SO CHEERS TO YOU! And cheers to the future!
#sponsored • GIVEAWAY TIME!!!📚 2020 has been #sponsored • GIVEAWAY TIME!!!📚 2020 has been a pretty bad year (I know we can all agree on that). It's been nice to lean into reading, and escape reality for a bit. Even with so much craziness happening around us, there's nothing better than picking up a book. For me, I absolutely love all things mysterious. I love diving into a good thriller...even if that means being a little spooked (hellooooo reading in the daytime). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I started reading @abigailjohnsonya Girl on the Run, I knew I'd enjoy it from start to finish. The book is about an online dating saga that goes in an unexpected direction, leading a daughter to find out her widowed mother has been hiding secrets😱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now that I'm done with the book, I'd LOVE to send one follower my copy of the book! All you have to do to enter is,👇🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❤️ LIKE this photo⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💬 COMMENT your favorite genre to read⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋🏻 FOLLOW both myself and @getunderlined ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #GetUnderlinedPartner #GirlontheRun
Saturday was #WorldMentalHealthDay and I took the Saturday was #WorldMentalHealthDay and I took the day off of social media. Although not picking up my phone every two seconds was nice, it made me anxious. Why? I felt like I was missing something. I felt like my future posts wouldn’t do well because I wasn’t posting all day long. I felt like I was doing something wrong👀🙄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I recently started talking about my anxiety (after finally coming to terms with the fact that I even deal with anxiety), and while it’s been nice, I’m still trying to figure it out: what triggers it, what makes me feel better, normalizing talking about it, etc.🙏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Of course on one hand there’s something I sincerely love about social media and sharing my life and outfits with you. It’s creative, it’s rewarding, it’s hard work🙌🏻 On the other hand, sometimes social media triggers my anxiety. Sometimes it’s because I see someone doing something that I probably *should* be doing. And sometimes it’s for no reason other than seeing someone posting about THEIR anxiety — to remind me that I also have anxiety🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m here to tell ya it’s cool to talk about your feelings. It’s ok to have a bad day. And it’s ok to have really amazing days even when it seems like the world is falling apart❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh and if you need an 👂🏻 to listen, my emails/DMs are always open!
LAYERS, LAYERS, and uh, MORE LAYERS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ STYLE TIP: if you’re anything like me, you get HOT AF when you layer up. BUT HEY. That shouldn’t stop you🤣 Look for thinner pieces with mock or turtlenecks to go under your sweaters. ISSSSAAA GAME CHANGER I SWEAR.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can I just say that there’s nothing I love more than Fall outfits? It honestly makes me SO happy to dress for the cooler weather. I know that seems crazy, but idk, 2020 man. The smallest things make me happy AF🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Linked this look via the @liketoknow.it app👏🏻 You don’t need the app (I use it every day and LOVE air though!), you can just head to the link in my bio to shop what’s on the ‘gram!
YOU ANSWERED, I POSTED. I had a feeling you guys w YOU ANSWERED, I POSTED. I had a feeling you guys were going to say you wanted to see a casual look vs.a dressier (TBH, it's not even that dressy...I'll post that one soon).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I really LOVE when you guys give your input on what I post. Last week, I asked what you guys wanted me to style more of and here were some of the answers:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧶 Cardigans⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤣 "Covid Casual" (when you need to go to an office, but don't need to get dressed up)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧢 Hats⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👢 Boots & Booties⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧥 Layering⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👖 Non-skinny jeans⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👔 Oversized shirts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐆 Printed accessories (shoes, bags, etc.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📌 Closet stapes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I missing anything?! What do YOU want to see styled? Let me know in the comments👇🏻 I linked this look via the @liketoknow.it app! You can head over there or click the link in bio👏🏻
Weekend trips are becoming a new favorite of mine🥰 I loved staying at @CanopyPhiladelphia - just STEPS away from Reading Terminal (one of the coolest spots in Philly, if you ask me). The hotel itself made it hard to want to do any exploring though😏 the bold colors and patterns are a nod to Philly’s vibrant history of art and culture. Everything about the hotel’s design was absolutely beautiful!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved how the hotel is big on supporting local businesses and artists too! When you check in, you’ll see pieces from locals that are available for purchase — Nick bought something the minute we checked in🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We were able to get a dinner reservation at @thewaywardphilly and OH MAN, everything was delicious - the raw bar, corn beignets, branzino, and steak frites were PERFECTION🤤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #CanopyPhilly #TheWaywardPhilly #travel #philly
IT’S THE SHACKET FOR ME🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s looking like the big fall trend this year is a good shirt jacket. I have a few from last year that I absolutely LOVE, and naturally I stocked up on a few new ones this year. There’s just something about them that make me feel so cool😎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Linking my look + a couple of shirt jackets I recently purchased/looking at👀 on the @liketoknow.it app! You could also click the link in my bio!
OMG IT'S FALL🥰 Here are some things you'll hear OMG IT'S FALL🥰 Here are some things you'll hear from me often during these months:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Wow it is SO nice out."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "OMG I love this weather so much."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Ok I'm a little chilly. But I mean I love this weather so I can't complain."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Can we go find a fireplace and be cozy?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I'm freeeeeeeezing.

Sometimes you just need a good head-to-toe Lou & G Sometimes you just need a good head-to-toe Lou & Grey look🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've been eyeing this rainbow ribbon stitch sweater for a few weeks🌈 It's so fun, and I love all of the colors (I got a size small!). It's a perfect transitional sweater... and then you can pull it out of your closet again when summer comes around -- so cute with shorts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I paired it with our AMAZING Cosmic Joggers😍 I would size down if you're in between sizing. These joggers are SO GOOD — I typically cuff them because #shortgirlproblems, but here they are at normal length👍🏻 This pant will 1000% be a staple in your wardrobe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Head to @loft to shop all things Lou & Grey!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS: Anyone know where I can take my bag strap to get shortened?! This looks so ridiculous LOL.

Feeling the LOVE and SUPPORT from you guys🥺 Whe Feeling the LOVE and SUPPORT from you guys🥺 When I posted a pretty cryptic IG story about needing prayers and good vibes, you guys sent them without hesitation🙏🏻 The reason why I asked for prayers was for my family, specifically for my dad.

So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU❤️ I’m very grateful for those who reached out, it makes me realize this Instagram thing ain’t so bad after all😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS: I know this picture has nothing to do with anything, but it’s a pic of me smiling anddddd that’s what I got for ya today.
