Working Whilst Traveling: Is It Possible?

As all travel lovers will know, when you get the bug you just need to get out there. You could leave everything behind in an instant, but unfortunately, you still need money if you’re going to be able to hop on a plane.

We’ve noted down some points that are worth considering. Freelance work If you want to be able...

Life Update…

Lifestyle

I’ve been quiet for a while if you’ve noticed…Things have been beyond crazy behind the scenes of life lately and I’m excited to announce that I’ve… ACCEPTED a new part-time job with a law firm in downtown Boston right by the Boston Harbor. I’m across the street (less than a few steps) from the New England Aquarium and am so excited for this new opportunity. I am living out the true Boston Legal life, just for you Pops (my FIL (father-in-law)! 😉 ) JK but honestly I feel like the stars aligned perfectly because I could not be more...

5 Reasons Why Email Marketing Matters for Fashion Bloggers

Lifestyle

This post is sponsored by Constant Contact. All opinions are my own. I’ve always enjoyed the fact that both blogging and having a full-time job in marketing has benefited me mutually. I can almost always apply something I’ve learned from my time inB2B marketing to the blog, but also (maybe even surprisingly) take my blogging experience and apply it to my full-time job. Whether it’s a new tool, a new social media trend or perspective from a B2C2C (I don’t know, that’s what I consider being an influencer, so maybe B2I2C), I can always think about and apply what...

What’s Up with the Lack of Disclosure?

Fashion•Lifestyle•Shopping

Image via … a great post on how to comply with FTC guidelines! Okay, first of all… I can’t discuss this subject without first acknowledging my own faults. I am in no way perfect, but at this point, I feel like when I first started getting offered products and/or did sponsored or guest posts that I should have made it very clear on my blog. At that point, I thought it was just how it worked and everyone, including my friends and family who no nothing about the blogging world, would know what c/o means. So before I go...

Pre- and Post-Christmas Shopping with My Intel Tablet

I am a part of the Intel #TabletCrew. All opinions expressed are my own. I honestly don’t know how I lived without a tablet. Okay I know how I lived without one, but now I would never want to live without one! It is the perfect tool for me to relax and browse my favorite blogs, shopping sites and have easy access to apps.

I immediately...

Lace Loving

Outfits

This is my first time linking up to Marion’s Trend of the Month Challenge and I couldn’t be more excited about this month’s challenge: lace. I have quite a few lace pieces, mostly neutral ones, so I wanted to challenge myself to wear a lace piece I haven’t in awhile AND in a new way. I just transformed my denim dress into a shirt a few weeks ago, so I decided to transform this lace dress into a shirt as well. Of course, completely work INAPPROPRIATE as a dress. Add my favorite maxi and it was completely work appropriate. Hooray!...
