Wardrobe Freedom With Dryel

This is a sponsored post written by me in collaboration with Dryel. All opinions are mine alone.

I have a confession: I hate to iron. My hubby does the ironing in the house, when it's needed. I try to stay away from clothes that wrinkle easily, but sometimes it is unavoidable. In those cases, I turn to Dryel. It allows me to wear what I want, when I want, without a trip to the dry cleaner or pulling out the iron. 

What I am Wearing - Striped Tee Shirt Dress

I am back with another style collaboration with five of my fellow Aventura Ambassadors! I love a comfy t-shirt dress, so I am excited to show you several ways to style the Topanga dress from Aventura Clothing. It is probably no surprise that I chose this dress, since I have a thing for stripes!

How to Style a Jacket for Spring

It has been a couple of months since I have shared a fashion post here on the blog. It has just been so cold and yucky that I did not want to go outside without being bundled up like Randy in A Christmas Story! But, now Spring is here and I have received several new pieces from the Aventura Spring 2018 line. I even did a Live unboxing on Facebook to show you what I got and a few ways I plan to style them.  I am joining some of my fellow Aventura Ambassadors to share how we style a utility jacket during this transitional season. I am styling the Tara jacket with a striped tee and olive green joggers.

Preparing Winter Clothes for Storage With Dryel

This is a sponsored post written by me in collaboration with Dryel. All opinions are mine alone.

Spring weather is around the corner and it is time to start thinking about putting away the heavy wool coats, sweater dresses, and sweaters. I usually try to dry clean the ones that got a lot of wear over the Winter, but that gets expensive. I have found a cheaper option that works just as well, and you can do it at home!

Let me introduce you to Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner. For around $10, you get the Dryel fabric care bag, four cleaning clothes, Stain Pen, and Odor & Wrinkle Releaser, which will clean up to 20 items.

Strength Has No Gender™: Women Can DIY Too

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StrengthHasNoGender #Cbias

One of the reasons I started my blog was to inspire women to tackle DIY projects and home renovations. My goal is to show that girls can be fashionable and girly, while getting your hands dirty and building things! I was inspired by many of the other female DIY bloggers that I had followed for a while. When the time came for us to remodel our basement, I had confidence that I could learn to do it!

Not all heroes are a “he.” It's time to recognize courageous, strong, and resilient women and hear their stories. This Women's History Month, tell us the story of your SHEro with #StrengthHasNoGender and encourage a friend to do the same.

Barre is a ballet-based full body workout, which targets the lower body, abs, and arms. One of the questions I have gotten is what to wear, so I am here to break it down for you today.

Top 5 Fashion Favorites of 2017

I hope you enjoyed my recent post on my top 5 readers favorites of 2017, which oddly enough did not include any of my fashion posts. My friend Ashley at The Mixed Bag commented that she would like to see a year in review fashion post, which I though was a great idea!

It is fun to see what posts got the most love, so here are my top 5!

What I Am Wearing - Long Cardigan and Crop Top

It seems like style always comes back around and lately it seems like all of the trends I wore in my late teens and early 20's is coming back into fashion, like the long duster cardigan. I had several of these back in the day and wish I would not have gotten rid of them. I love the dramatic look of the long length with a short cropped tee underneath.

Glittery Mason Jar Makeup Brush Holder

Happy New Year! Can you believe it is already 2018? What better way to start off the new year than with an organization project? I love to use mason jars in my home decor and DIY projects! They come in many sizes and can be used in so many ways. Today, I am sharing how I re-purposed mason jars into decorative holders for my makeup brushes.

What to Wear for New Year's Eve

New Year's is right around the corner and truth be told, it has been several years since I actually got dolled up and went out. Even so, it is one of the few times of year that you have an excuse to go all out and wear your most glamorous outfit.

If you are not sure what to wear, I have 3 New Year's Eve Outfit options for you that I have worn in the past.

How to Wear a Velvet Tunic 2 Ways

I recently worked with an Agnes and Dora rep on a collaboration and one of the items I selected was a purple velvet tunic. When I put it on, I was taken back to a simpler time when I worked at the Mall and listened to Stone Temple Pilots and Brittany Spears. If you have no idea what I am talking about then you are too young to have been around when velvet was "in" during the early 90's! It is times like this that I wish I would have kept my velvet pieces.

What I am Wearing - Winter White and Black

The holidays are here, which calls for dressing up more than any other time of the year. I am making a bold statement by pairing winter white and black together in a geometric print dress and wool coat. I recently won a giveaway for  Eliza J dress and I picked this one, since I do not have a lot of long sleeved dresses that are appropriate for Winter.

How To Dress Comfortably for a Fall Festival

One of the things I love about Fall is all of the outdoor festivals. Around my local area, there are apple festivals, pumpkin patches, the county fair, and many other craft fairs and festivals. Recently, I attended the Nest Fest, which is an event that is hosted on a 12 acre farm and offers a wide array of vendors, music, and food trucks. It is one of my favorite festivals, but it includes a lot of walking, which can be hard on my feet. Here are my tips on how to dress comfortably for a fall festival.

What I am Wearing - Styling a Quilted Vest

I received these items for free, as part of my Brand Ambassador contract, but all opinions are my own.

Now that the weather is turning cooler, it is time to start dressing in layers. A quilted vest is the perfect outer layer to wear when you do not need a heavy coat. I am pairing it with one of my fall essentials...a sweater dress! These are two of my favorite pieces from the Fall/Winter Aventura collection. Stick around until the end of this post to see picks from three of my fellow Aventura Ambassadors.

My Favorite Holiday Accessories

Sweater weather has arrived, which means holidays and gatherings are right around the corner. Who has the budget to buy new outfits for all the various events that you will be attending? I don't, so I make use of accessories, such as scarves, clutches, and jewelry to change up my wardrobe staples.

Fall is finally in the air and the leaves are turning beautiful shades of yellow, orange, and brown. The changing of the leaves inspires me to incorporate fall colors into my wardrobe. I am back with another outfit from prAna, who offers sustainable, fair trade, and organic clothing for active women.

Cozy cotton sweaters and denim in gorgeous fall colors are catching my eye this season. This outfit is perfect for a trip to the pumpkin patch or running errands.

What I am Wearing - Floral Bomber Jacket + TFF Linkup

Earlier this year, I started seeing bomber jackets all over my fashion feeds. I really liked the look, but was not sure how long the trend would last, so I waited to get one. When I saw this lightweight floral bomber jacket on ADORNit, I thought it would be perfect for fall! Today I am joining my friends Jill from Doused in Pink and Carrie at Curly Crafty Mom in the Thursday Fashion Files Link Up to show you 3 Ways to Style a Bomber Jacket. I’m excited to have you here and would love to have you link up one of your latest outfits at the bottom of this post.

Recently I wore it over a striped tank top with jeans and booties, but today I want to show you how you can dress it up and wear it with your favorite LBD.

What I am Wearing - Striped Dress and Velvet Sneakers

I am slowly transitioning my wardrobe to fall by adding a few new pieces, like this striped dress with crochet detail from PinkBlush and a pair of burgundy velvet sneakers. The best thing about this dress is you can change the look from casual to dressy by adding some tall boots and a scarf or jacket!

What I am Wearing - Eco-friendly Workout Wear

These clothes have been provided to me by prAna as part of the Fit Approach Influencer Program, but all opinions are 100% my own. #prAnaStyle

I am so excited to be sharing a cute, eco-friendly workout outfit with you today from prAna! I work out 3-4 times a week and do a variety of classes including PiYo, Barre, Body Flow, Yoga, and CXWorx and I want workout gear that I can wear to all of these classes.

I was recently introduced to prAna and have tried their active wear and swimwear, so I was excited to be able to also try out their workout gear.

How to Personalize a Compact Mirror

Most of us spend a large part of our day on the computer and other devices, which leads to tired eyes. They say the "eyes are the window to the soul" and I do not want them to look red and weary, especially being a lifestyle blogger. When I am on-the-go, I keep a small zipper bag in my purse with essentials to make sure I am camera ready at any time.

My essentials kit includes a portable charger, Clear Eyes Pure Relief® for Dry Eyes, earbuds, sunglasses, and a small compact mirror that I personalized to keep me motivated.
