Jun 17 You're Amazing

To continue on my quest to spread positivity, I ‘sat down’ with my girl Suzanne Taylor to discuss positive self image. I pains me to work with someone, or heck, just to know someone that struggles with inner demons. Yes, I’m boosting confidences one closet at a time, but if you don’t truly believe in yourself, new clothes are only going to be a quick fix. Everyone has something to be thankful for, everyone has something amazing about themselves and that my friend, is something to remember (especially for when we talk about bathing suits next week!)

Jun 11 Bravery

I find it interesting the things other people say to you that stay with you forever. I often wonder if they even remember saying it? Do they know how their words made an impact? A client once said to me, ‘I want to be brave. I see the things you wear, you are brave. I want to be brave.’ Until that moment, I had never thought of myself as brave. I simply wear what makes me happy and dress to my mood.

Jun 5 Authentic Positivity

This feels a little different. What exactly, you say? All of it. I would normally be taking this time to write to you about my top tips on how to shop a sale rack, or list out the season’s current trends and how you can incorporate them into your personal style, but I’m not. Pretty much the only thing that is the same right now is the fact that I’m listening to Macklemore- if you didn’t know, now you know- HUGE FAN- and the comfy joggers I’ve got on.

Can you see post quarantine life yet? Can you smell it yet? Can you feel it yet? I don’t know about you, but I’m there. The weather is changing, we opened our pool, local boutiques that were closed are doing curbside… oh, and umm DSW opened (for curbside, but still)!!! Maybe all this pollen in the air is getting to me, but hey, I’m gonna ride this optimism train.

Tips & Tricks

Things I’m all about: seeing where the day takes you, packing light, and looking chic. Did that second one throw you for a loop? Thought so. It’s one that surprises a lot of people. I wasn’t always this way. I remember on a college trip to Greece, my luggage was so heavy it hurt to roll it. Lifting is was completely out of the question as the mere weight of the handle on my hand as I rolled it through the airport was crippling. Fast forward to the year after I met my amazing husband and we were packing for our first trip to Hawaii. Ten days, carry on only. I thought he was crazy when he said I could only carry on, but I did it, and I personally prefer to have it that way now.
