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. While we are still unsure what is going on, we really do feel the love during this uncertain time. 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. And I just really love hats. Duh.
Easy like Sunday morning❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s it. That's all I got for ya today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you wanna laugh and hear a funny story about this hat, head over to my stories. You're welcome in advance🤣
Let’s stop explaining our realities, mmmmmk?😖 Let’s stop explaining our realities, mmmmmk?😖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do I mean by that? All we do is apologize for normal life. LIKE WUT?!🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Oh hey guys, sorry my hair is a mess.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Sorry my room isn’t clean.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I’m sorry I’m just not feeling 100% there today.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In Instagram and in real life, I find myself just apologizing for anything and everything I do because if other people must be thinking these things that are “obvious” to me. So I might as well apologize for the inconvenience, right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’M HERE TO SAY, IT HAS GOT TO STOP🛑 NEWS FLASH: Most people don’t even notice the things we point out to begin with. So let’s do less apologizing, and start having more fun here...and in real life. Ok? Ok. Cool.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS: I love this cool button down so much! I found it in the chambray version and this black one on eBay🙌🏻 you can shop it via the @liketoknow.it app or the link in my bio💫
QUESTION FOR YA👉🏻 Is your bed always A MESS QUESTION FOR YA👉🏻 Is your bed always A MESS after trying on outfits, or are you normal?🥴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to share a snap from my recent #falloutfit try on haul (you can see all of the looks on Reels or on the @liketoknow.it app). This sweater is TRULY a gem and a new staple in my closet🙌🏻 It's oversized, cotton blend, and the perfect texture. MAJOR bonus points for looking cute while front tucked YET still covers the booty when you want to wear with leggings👏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This color is only available in a few sizes, but also comes in a reverse colorway😱 You can shop the look using the LTK app or click the link in my bio💫
No one wants to believe they're dealing with anxie No one wants to believe they're dealing with anxiety. Right?👀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the outside, I'm outgoing, I'm loyal, I'm go-with-the-flow, I'm organized, I love to work and play, and I usually have a smile on my face🙂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the inside, my head is always going a mile per minute. I overthink 99.9% of the situations I'm in. I'm a people pleaser. I love reassurance. I second guess a lot of my decisions. Before bed, I think the worst thoughts of something happening to my family, something being wrong in my relationship, or stressing about something I forgot to do for someone. It's hard for me to put my worries, fears, and doubts aside😖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm generally able to deal with my anxious thoughts, but I think I've become more aware that stressors interfere with my every day life (which is quite amazing, and something I need to continue to remind myself of). I've been reading lots of articles on how to figure out my anxiety on my own: exercise, breathing, drinking hot tea, and talking to people I know care about me often helps👌🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The point of this post is to share that stress and anxiety comes in a lot of forms, and affects a lot of people. Just because I get anxious, doesn't mean I'm unhappy. And I'm sure a lot of you can relate. I've always been super aware of mental health and the stigma around it, but never thought I'd involve myself in the conversation around it. So hi, IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH❤️
It’s Casual 〰️ A place where style meets all It’s Casual 〰️ A place where style meets all things real life in New York City🚕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I first started blogging in 2012, I wanted to become a true fashion blogger. I would buy things that I didn’t really love or things I thought I HAD to post because they were elevated or looked pretty on camera. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took me pretty much 8 years to realize that it wasn’t me. I wasn’t good at being editorial or “perfect”. I was tired of thinking I failed just because my feed didn’t look a certain way or that I didn’t have the latest trendy handbag or shoes. To be honest, it took me a minute to be OK with being a “basic” blogger and recognize that it’s not a bad thing. In fact, it helped me connect with SO many more people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m better with writing my thoughts, sharing my experiences, and connecting with others. So that’s what I’ve done around here. My website, newsletter, and social media channels are a place where you can get to know me, learn a thing or two about blogging and my career in the fashion industry (I HOPE), or even get a little inspiration on some good, casual outfits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On another note, I gotta say THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. Nothing makes me happier than having a cool group of people to get to know over the internet. Many of you have been here through the name changes, career updates, the good, and the bad. And I love you all for that!!! If you’re new to following me, I’m also really glad you’re here and I look forward to learning more about you through conversations on my blog, in comments, or through DMs❤️

I told myself I wouldn’t jump on the tie dye ban I told myself I wouldn’t jump on the tie dye bandwagon, yet here I am🤷🏻‍♀️ and I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My girl, Amber, makes beautiful pieces at @shopamberrichele and she got me HOOKED.

*calendar says September 1st* CLEARS THROAT: OMG I *calendar says September 1st* CLEARS THROAT: OMG I LOVE FALL SO MUCH, I THRIVE IN FALL!!! LET ME PULL OUT MY BOOTS!!!😇 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Is there a reason why you love a certain time of the year so much? For me, I love fall for A LOT OF REASONS. Many of them are basic AF, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥵 I HATE SWEATING I just really love the idea of being able to wear a lot of layers without sweating my ass off. Since I love fall fashion so much, there's nothing better than layering up and walking outside to crisp, chilly air! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😏 I LIKE A FULL COVERAGE LOOK I'm like THE least sexy person when it comes to dressing, so like, the more clothes the better LOL ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👻 MY FAVORITE HOLIDAYS Halloween and Thanksgiving. Enough said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤗 ALL THE COZY THINGS Since we're more than likely going to be doing a whole lot of nothing during the cooler months, I'm already getting excited about chilly nights indoors with lots of cozy things -- blankets, candles, hot tea, etc. There's nothing better than being cozy when it's cold! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫 SHOP MY LOOK via the @liketoknow.it app or click the link in my bio!
VERSATILITY • The ability to adapt or be adapted VERSATILITY • The ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I usually think in terms of versatility. I mean, what's better than something being able to be used in so many ways?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When it comes to clothing, I'm ALWAYS looking for versatile pieces to add to my wardrobe. Like this utility jacket. It goes with EVERYTHING. Skirts, dresses, jeans and a tee, EVERYTHING. So why not add one to your closet? (Some other versatile pieces: Mules, basic white tees, a cropped sweater, and knee high boots....can you tell I'm ready for fall?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When it comes to real life, I always think of my job as a Merchandiser as something that is SO versatile. We touch on SO many different areas that I'm constantly learning all parts of the business. My skills from blogging also come in handy when it comes to thinking about our market and how our customer looks at social media. It's fascinating, TBH!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your favorite versatile piece of clothing? OR what versatile skill do you have? LET ME KNOW.
SWIPE🤣 I’m very confident one day taking pict SWIPE🤣 I’m very confident one day taking pictures in New York City will look like this again🤞🏻Currently missing that hustle and bustle more than ever...yep and that includes random people giving me looks in my photos😎 I used to go to work, and then during lunch I would run out to take photos either by Bryant Park, Grand Central or Times Square. Then, I’d head back to work until my next plans (either an event or dinner plans). And do it all over again the next day🤭 Crazy how drastically life changes in an actual instant.
