Wearing Your Faith With Bible BB's

I never pass up an opportunity to share my faith or to share a faith based company. Today I am partnering with Bible BB's to share their line of adorable faith-based shirts, along with a giveaway! Bible BB's website carries children's books and apparel for the whole family!

I received the "Coffee & Jesus" sweatshirt to review. It is made of a soft cotton/poly blend fleece in a women's cut, with a wide neck. If you do not want it to be fitted, I would size up. I am wearing an XL and it is slightly over-sized on me.

Holly Lane Jewelry Review

I am partnering with Holly Lane Jewelry to bring you an unique gift idea. All opinions are my own.

One of the perks of blogging is being introduced to new brands. I only partner with brands that I am passionate about and enjoy being able to share them with others. I recently was introduced to Holly Lane Jewelry through one of the Christian networks I work with and I am always excited to share faith-based shops.

Holly Lane's line of sterling silver Christian jewelry is intentionally designed to create opportunities to share Christ with others, and to be worn as a personal reflection of faith. These unique designs are based on verses from the Bible and are meant to catch the attention of others and spark conversation. Each piece is designed by jewelry artist Tiffany Scott and handmade in Virginia.

3 Ways to Style a Plaid Shirt Dress

It has been a while since I have shared a fashion post on here, but I am back today sharing for a special cause. I am joining some of my fellow Aventura Ambassadors to create a Dessember Team to bring awareness to modern day human trafficking and slavery by wearing a dress each day in December.

It’s a simple campaign that started out with one woman, Blythe Hill, who committed to wearing a dress for every day in December as a way to bring awareness to the problem of modern day human trafficking and slavery.

Dryel Saves Your Clothes from Shrinking and Fading

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

My Fall/Winter wardrobe consists of chunky sweaters and dark skinny jeans. I don't have to worry about my sweaters stretching or my dark denim fading or shrinking with Dryel.

I try to get a few wears out of my sweaters and jeans before cleaning them, so I can prolong the life of the piece. Plus, there is nothing worse than tight, fresh-out-of-the-dryer jeans. I prefer mine broken in, don't you? With Dryel, you do not have to worry about this. You can freshen up your jeans and sweaters in about 15 minutes!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
