Black Friday Shopping

Happy Wednesday friends!

First I want to share this outfit with y’all really quick! The whole look is Liverpool Jeans and I’m obsessed with their pieces and the quality! Super high-end and classic pieces to have in your closet all year long. I can’t recommend them enough!

Now let’s talk sales! As I’m sure you’ve noticed sales have started even earlier this year so I’m sure most of you have already started shopping. I wanted to touch base on some amazing sales and deals right now and the stores I focus on. My husband needs new clothes and I always grab the best stuff at Old Navy for him, right now their sale is 40% almost everything but that usually goes up for Black Friday! My mom requested some beauty items and loungewear and I can’t recommend Tula enough and right now they are offering their best deal yet and you can use my code LARAMIE15 for 25% and this includes their already discounted holiday sets! I’m also looking at Aerie for loungewear for her, their deal right now is really good, the more items you purchase the more the discount is. As for my stepdad, he’s into tech stuff and I usually find great things for him on Amazon.

As for my most of what I’m asking for this year is the same as my mother. Beauty and skincare items are high on that list as well as a new blender for my morning smoothies and a few other items.

What are you excited to grab during the sales?

Happy Fall Y'all

Happy Wednesday friends!

We spent the weekend doing all the fall things and I wanted to share some of our moments!

We hit Magic Kingdom and Epcot on Saturday with our friends. It was so fun to see the fall decorations at Magic Kingdom and all the special things Disney has done for the 50 year anniversary! We hit Epcot in the evening for the food and wine festival and to check out the new fireworks, and y’all it was amazing!

Sunday we went to Southern Hill Farms in Clermont. If you’re in the Orlando area I highly recommend you check them out! They do a few different things throughout the year and it has been a tradition for all of us for the last few years. They have beautiful flower fields perfect for photos and of course all the fall treats and festivities so it is the perfect event for the season! Highly recommend!

What are your favorite fall things to do?

Taking My Summer Uniform Into Fall

Happy Wednesday friends and happy September!

It’s so crazy to think we are already into September and getting ready for fall!

It’s still super hot here in Florida so I wanted to share one of my favorite summer uniforms and how I’m taking some of those pieces into fall as well.

Y’all know I love dresses and rompers for summer but I’ve also been loving a form fitting simple top with high waisted shorts. If you’ve been following along I’ve actually shared a few looks like this and they have become one of my go to looks. I usually change up the bag and the shoes depending on where I’m going.

How I’ve paired the outfit here with wedges and cute little bag makes it a great outfit for brunch or shopping, it’s a little more girly and cute. I also love the same pieces with sporty white sneakers and a cross body bag if I’m running errands or know I’ll be walking around. With that being said I’ll be taking several of these pieces into fall with me. The top, shoes, and bag would all be cute with a pair of jeans and a cute jacket or sweater for fall. I’m working on building up my wardrobe basics so that outfit pairing is easier and little more classic.

The shorts, wedges and bag are all from LC Lauren Conrad and let me tell you the shorts I’ve bought in the other colors as well and love them for all sizes. I sized up for a looser fit and love how practical they are. The top is from Loft and again I’ve been buying some great basic tops from Loft, Macy’s and LC Lauren Conrad and they have really worked in my wardrobe for meeting clients, running errands, and everything in between. I just love that they are a little more elevated than just a simple t-shirt.

What are you taking from your summer wardrobe into fall?

Photo Tips & Resources for Blogging and Instagram

Happy Wednesday, friends!

This week here on the blog I wanted to talk about some photo tips and resources that will help any of you content creators out there. Whether you take photos just for social media or use photography on your blog as well or for your business I have some things you could try!

First off having a consistent photo style as a content creator is key. For example whether I have my photographer take my photos or I take them myself they are always in the light and bright style. To achieve this myself I use my own presets which I love when I can’t work with my photographer. You can actually use these presets yourself as well! You can grab them HERE and start using them to better your photos!

Another resource that will help you elevate your photos is my E-book where I discuss how to figure out what content to shoot, how to figure out your style, my process, how to find a photographer that’s right for you, movement and posing and so much more! This resource is for you whether you work with a professional photographer or self shoot your photos! It comes with bonus items and actionable steps and will elevate your photo game! You can grab it HERE and start improving your photos today!

If you have any photo questions let me know in the comments!

Life Update: Moving, Future Planning, and Goal Setting

Happy Wednesday friends!

This week I wanted to share a life update and talk about a few things here that I’m super excited about!

First off Travis and I are getting ready to move…again! Yes you might recall we made a move last November and not even a year later we are moving again, this time only about 20 minutes away so not a big deal. We received an amazing opportunity we couldn’t pass up and are super excited for a bigger space and new place (hopefully the last new place before a house). I’ll be sharing more décor posts and home things on the blog as this place we will be replacing a lot of furniture and different things that would come with us to a house.

This move is going to allow us to hopefully start preparing for buying a house soon so we are doing everything we can to really prepare and set ourselves up for success when we finally decide to purchase a home. The market is super crazy right now so we are holding off for now.

Finally I’m working on some major goal setting and working on those goals before my 30th birthday at the end of the year. Some of those goals include working on my health, bettering my business, and really preparing to start my 30’s off right.

Hope y’all have an amazing rest of your week and I’ll see you soon!

My Summer Uniform

Happy Wednesday friends!

Y’all know summer is my favorite season! This outfit is my summer uniform; a light weight dress, easy sandals and a hat is literally the perfect look for a Florida summer. Basically all I wear in the summer next to swimwear, shorts and t-shirts.

This whole look is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and super affordable. The whole look is under $50 and easy to wear everywhere this summer! I hope y’all love it.

We are working on summer plans and I would love to know what you all are planning for the summer. Are you traveling? Where are you going? Let me know in the comments!

Minimalism in the Living Room sponsored by AllModern

Happy Wednesday friends!

Today’s post is sponsored by AllModern. Y’all know I love décor and interior design and I’m excited to be partnering with AllModern on todays blog post!

Minimalism as a style is so nice to showcase in your home with the clean lines and calming colors. We choose to grab a run that compliments the colors we are already using in our living room and are so impressed with the quality and price of the rug! We love the print and it complimented everything perfectly! You can find our rug HERE and also some fun art HERE that we grabbed for the living room! I also included several pieces I loved on my mood board post a few weeks ago!

I tend to refresh pieces and accessories in my home throughout the year and furniture isn’t as often depending and how old it is. Having new fresh pieces in the home though really makes a difference in mood and vibe of the place.

I can’t recommend AllModern enough for all your decorating and furniture needs even down to rugs and accessories they have everything for every style and at an affordable price, which we love!

Goal Setting & My Plans

Happy Wednesday friends! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I’m sharing a fun mint green look here on the blog today from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s! I’m loving this top it’s so comfortable and a fun color for spring!

This week I wanted to talk about goals and some changes I’m trying to make. as we come up on the second quarter of the year. I would love to work on waking up earlier and starting my day by going to the gym, I have some fitness and wellness goals I would love to fit before the end of the year and I think if I try and accomplish that one it will really help!

What are some goals you are setting as we go into quarter 2?

Mid Century Modern Bedroom Details with AllModern

Happy Wednesday friends!

I have a fun bedroom décor post for y’all today. sponsored by AllModern.

We are almost finished getting our new apartment together and putting the finishing touches on our place. That being said we grabbed some mid century modern décor pieces from AllModern to put the finishing touches on our bedroom. We went with the Huron 26” Table Lamp to put on our nightstands and they are the perfect height especially if you have a taller headboard like we do, they really fill in all that space on either side of the bed. We got them in the brushed nickel and they really compliment the gray and white tones in our bedroom. We also added the Amarion Cotton Geometric Throw Pillow to our bed for a little color and subtle pattern and we love how those touches brought the whole room together!

If you are looking to change up your space whether it be with furniture or art and décor AllModern is a great place to grab some pieces. They offer tons of styles and options at great price points!

Make sure to check out this post to see more of my inspiration for how these bedroom details came together.

Mid Century Modern Bedroom Inspo with AllModern

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Happy new year again as well! I don’t know about you but this year I’ve been playing with revamping my space for the new year and new chapter. I’m so excited to share with you some fun mid century modern bedroom inspiration from AllModern as I think we are all still revamping our space especially and making everything fresh again!

My favorite space is definitely the bedroom, I love a light and airy room paired with a little contrast which I think you can see from see of these AllModern pieces I pulled. I added a feminine touch with the blush toned bedding option and some different texture as well. I really love home décor and interior design as you all know and I really love the pieces AllModern has to offer. They have something for everyone no matter what you are looking for or room you are trying to revamp. They are the perfect place to shop and super affordable as well with tons of options.

I absolutely love these mid century modern pieces for the bedroom and really played with neutral tones and textures with the leather chair and soft blush bedding and I love the contrast of those pieces in the same room. The bedroom is meant to be a relaxing peaceful place and I think this combination paired with some sheer white curtains would be the best bedroom upgrade!

You can shop all these pieces with the links on the left as well as check out some other inspiration here: Keep the bedroom inspiration going with AllModern for: Mid-Century Modern Bedroom Furniture, Queen Beds, Headboards, Mid-Century Modern Bedrooms We Love

Shopping Your Closet

Happy Wednesday friends!

Y’all know I love a good t-shirt and I’ve been loving t-shirts from RiffRaff and their unique pieces! I absolutely love this one of The Holiday for the holiday season and all year round! I paired it with this LC Lauren Conrad velvet skirt and Steve Madden heels that were already in my closet.

I’m working on shopping my own closet more this year and focusing more on quality pieces or quantity. Not only saving money but really asking myself how much I love a piece before purchasing it!

What is your must have piece in your closet?
