It’s that time of year – I’m pulling out all my favorite dresses, from tighter-fitting sheaths to long, flowy maxis for the spring and summer months ahead. The unfortunate part about some of these dresses is how they cling to your body – and no matter how in shape (or not) I am at the time – there just doesn’t seem to be a way around from dresses showing everything!

Luckily, there is a lovely thing out there called shapewear, and Kohl’s has a wide variety of shapewear options to ensure my spring and summer sexy bandage dresses stay smooth and looking good. Most importantly, they help your dress fabric from clinging to your body! Kohl’s has several brands and types of shapewear, to help ensure you’re looking your best, no matter what you’re wearing! That’s why I have three distinct and equally helpful shapewear pieces.

Hey everyone! I cannot believe we are already into week two of May. This year is seriously flying – as I thought it would – but I am now only a week away from my first big product release at my new job as Product Marketing Manager and only eight weeks away from my little sister’s wedding. To say the least, things are a bit more than crazy!

Unfortunately, due to my new job, my sister’s wedding, my approaching wedding and my older sister having her first baby (I can’t wait to meet my nephew), my time spent blogging has been sporadic and unfocused. I am going to give updates as often as I can, but I also know that this kind of year will truly be once in a lifetime and I want to savor every moment without worrying about dedicating every creative thought to this blog.

Though, truthfully spending time on this blog is exactly what I want to be doing all the time! I have so many ideas on what I want to share, from steals under $30 to wedding planning to pampering your pooch! Oh, and lots more travel content. OH, and content strategy/marketing as well as SEO for bloggers! This is a subject I’m super passionate about (considering it’s been my full-time job for the past five years) and I love applying what I know to my blog. I would love to share tips as well as even start consulting those who would be interested in doing an SEO session with me.

Anyway, long story short, I have a lot I want to do this year here, but I’m afraid I just won’t get to it all, and I’m perfectly okay with that. But who knows? Maybe I’ll find the right balance soon! Hope you all have a wonderful week, and if you’re like me… dreaming of some fun spring and summer pieces to update your wardrobe. Hello adorable pom pom sandals!

Wedding Registry: Pottery Barn Picks

May 2, 2017 - Interior Design, Wedding

Pottery Barn Quilt - Wedding Registry Items

As you may know, our wedding planning has been coming along! From finding the venue to sending out our Save the Dates, there have been many exciting moments along the way. Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of frustrating moments (and a few, why are we doing this again moments), but planning our once in a lifetime day shared with the best friends and family is more than worth all of the frustrations.

And, as you might imagine, registering for our wedding is definitely one of the most fun moments! Creating a Pottery Barn Wedding Registry has always something we’ve wanted to do because let’s be honest – my fiancé and I have been in love with everything we’ve ever seen there! In fact, when we first started dating, we used to just walk around the store for fun to admire all of the beautiful pieces. From dishes and bedding to storage and decor, Pottery Barn has a variety of items we love and know will last throughout our marriage. Read More
