On weekends when I’m not traveling, you can find me at the park, shopping, and running general errands – which means lots of time in the car, and lots of time on my feet. Because of this, athleisure is the go-to and Avia does it best.
All about style
For today’s look, I styled one of their yoga sets. Available in monochromatic neutral tones this soft, comfortable set leaves me looking put together – no matter where the day takes me. For shoes, lightweight is always a weekend must, so I popped on my Avi-Coast 2.0 in grape leaf. This comfortable pair of sneakers hugs my foot in all of the right places without adding bulk or weight. My feet are not left feeling tired at the end of the day thanks to the amazing pressure point relieving memory foam insoles, providing a customized fit! I also love that they do not have a lot of deep bottom traction grips, so they are great for muddier days as they are easy to wipe clean.
Comfort is key
If you have sensitive ankles I also recommend the Avi-Coast 2.0 as I have issues with other brands rubbing my ankle bone and irritating it, or my heels. The Avi-Coast 2.0 features an anatomical cradle that helps with motion control and shock absorption, and the material and height of the shoe are both comfortable and supportive in all of the right places. I love to feel empowered in my shoes and not limited to where I can go without losing comfort and security. Empowered is the best word to describe how I feel in the Avi-Coast 2.0. The versatile grape leaf green shade and lightweight design add so much appeal to this walking sneaker, I find myself reaching for them often.
If you are looking for a fashionable lightweight, memory foam, lower tread, comfortable walking sneaker for park outings and around town errands this is for sure the pair to get!
For the past few years, Chicwish has been my go-to online source for events and everyday looks so I decided why not dedicate a post to sharing my thoughts on the brand with you all! DisCLAIMER: Chicwish does send me items to style but this is in no way sponsored, and all opinions are my own.
Why Chicwish?
I have loved the brand since the first time I spotted one of my favorite Houston Influencers in one of their tulle skirts. I quickly fell in love with Chicwishs‘ style, aesthetic, and product line. These chic styles and timeless silhouettes have since been so easy to identify and have become an all-time favorite of mine. With quality-made pieces in fun fabrics and prints designed with the most flattering cuts with you in mind, here I break down a bit of the Chicwish shopping experience.
Pricepoint
Chicwish falls in between H&M and Zara. It’s better quality than H&M and a bit less in price than Zara but quite similar quality. I get the impression some might think Chicwish is another Shein, and then are shocked at the prices, but Chicwish should not be confused for Shein. The quality in stitching and material are substantially better, the fit is more precise and the clothing selection is more of a curated collection rather than fast fashion. For what you get, I feel the pricing is fair, plus they usually have a coupon running so there is the chance for a discount as well, which is always nice!
Selection
Chicwish offers a curated collection of pieces. I feel they have a certain aesthetic to their assortment, which I love. This is what draws in their customer and keeps them coming back. Their products are very identifiable for their tulle, vintage-style skirts, beautiful flowing dresses, and quality chunky sweaters. The colors offered are rich jewel tones to pastels and neutrals, everything gives off an expensive air but is affordable, which is my favorite type of style! Now with saying all of this, the brand doesn’t just offer frills, there are a few rompers, shorts, fitted dresses, and workout pieces for those who aren’t into tulle and bows.
February is the month to share the love with everyone you “heart”, even yourself, so for this month filled with all things love I decided on selecting myself a gorgeous pair of statement earrings from James Avery.
In this post, I will be sharing 2 ways I styled the Venetian Frame Hoop Earrings in sterling silver. One look is casual, and the other is fun and dramatic to show just how versatile these earrings are!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of ARC. All opinions are 100% mine.
Anytime I can find a way to save time, or make something more convenient and efficient I am all ears – and yes that includes my beauty routine! So when I found out about ARC has a new whitening pen, I had to give it a try!
A special thank you to NeoCell for sponsoring this post and letting me review their product.
Beauty Regimen
Every year I try to incorporate a new beauty treatment to add to my regimen. This started a few years back with something as simple as taking my makeup off every night, and over the years I have added on things like weekly masks, PM eye cream, teeth whitening, hair treatments, moisturizers, etc. But for some reason taking a vitamin or supplement never dawned on me, so when NeoCell reached out, I knew that was going to be my new beauty regimen addition for 2020.
So, what is NeoCell Super Collagen Powder?
First, NeoCell offers a variety of products, but this particular powder promotes healthy hair, skin, nails and joint support! It’s a mixable blend that can be added to your favorite beverage with just one scoop a day, which is super convenient and means you don’t have to feel like you are taking vitamins, or even change up your routine! You can literally add it to whatever you already drink on the daily. This powder comes in 3 flavors so that blending is so much better depending on the time of day you plan on taking it, and here I will share a few of my favorite ways to incorporate NeoCell Super Collagen into my day.
UPRIGHT GO reached out to me to collab and honestly I was truly excited because I struggle with bad posture, and have for the last few years. Ever since I graduated from high school, my posture has steadily gotten worse! I attribute this to the fact that I used to be in dance and was always conscious of my posture but once I stopped, I guess that stopped as well.
Posture is super important and makes a huge difference in your daily life! I decided that one of my resolutions for 2019 would be to have better posture, which also inspired me to get back into dance again. To get things kicked off I started using the UPRIGHT GO. This gadget sticks to your back and is synced to an app you download to your phone. When setting it up you input a little data about yourself and your current lifestyle habits, which leads to building out your training plan.
Currently I am set for 25 days at 9 minutes. When you wear the device it easily sticks to your upper back, and once you are connected via bluetooth, it will start the countdown of each session. When your posture is good you will be in the green zone on the app, and when you are slouching/have poor posture, you will be in the red zone which will trigger the device to vibrate until you correct your posture.
I have really loved using this device, and am growing more conscious of when I am slouching and am able to correct it! With only a few days down, I can’t wait to see the long term results from the UPRIGHT GO!
To get one for yourself, and have perfect posture in 2019, check it out from the UPRIGHT GO site! And if you want a little discount, use HALEY10OFF!
So this post is a bit on the late side, but I just had to share my favorite looks from the Elaine Turner Edit Box, and give you a little run-down of what it is!
So Elaine Turner launched a new shopping experience via her boutique website where you can have a stylist curate ensembles for you to try, enjoy, and wear to events; then send back what you don’t wish to keep and purchase the items you fall in love with! Once you send your box back, it’s time to start again! It’s a great way to keep your wardrobe fresh, have new on-trend pieces for events, and have someone take all of the guesswork and stress of styling from you, so all you have to do is look fabulous! With a short profile style survey the stylist is all set to curate your looks with even the option to cater to trips and upcoming events you might have!
Click here for more details on the Edit Box!
And now to my looks! What I really love was the looks were curated head-to-toe from dress to accessories! I selected a casual Friday workwear look and pool party chic ensemble! So no matter what you have going on, the E.T. Edit Box has you covered!
I like to pride myself on my packing abilities when it comes to traveling. Jhonathan and I have made many trips with only a carry-on, but to do so I have to use space saver bags and limit the amount of shoes and accessories I take, etc. Well with the Andiamo Classico, I wanted to see exactly what all I could fit inside without space savers! Below is everything I packed for my recent 4 day trip to Albuquerque. And in case you were wondering, yes the Classico is a carry-on!
So for this trip I wanted to bring a variety of colorful dresses and athletic wear. We would be experiencing all different types of terrain on this trip so I wanted to be prepared, but still pack efficiently. I was able to pack all of the following, easily in the Classico.
3 – Dresses
- Short long-sleeve black dress
- Double layered navy long-sleeve maxi dress
- Double layered turquoise long-sleeve maxi dress
4 – Shoes
- Tan sling backs
- Cognac slip-ons
- Rhinestone flip-flops
- White leather block heel ankle booties
4 – Athleticwear pieces
- Sports bra
- Leggings
- T-shirt
- Hoodie
1 – Jewelry organizer filled with jewelry
1 – Straightener
1 – Curling iron
1 – Hat
1 – T-shirt
1 – Pair of shorts
(socks and undergarments and pjs)
And just for fun I have included 4 of the looks so you can see the pieces I packed, how I styled them, and the condition the clothes were in after being in the suitcase (no, I didn’t iron anything)
Now whenever I travel I always wear a comfortable look and my athletic shoes, that way I do not have to take up the space in my suitcase with two large pairs of shoes…so if you were wondering where my sneakers were, I was wearing them instead of packing them.
And that’s it! Everything I needed to look my best on this trip fit perfectly in this case without space savers! I of course put my electronics, makeup, chargers etc. in my “personal item” for easy access, but when it comes to carry-on’s this case is truly chart topping! From the sleek appearance, to the storage capability this suitcase is well worth the investment and will definitely be headed with me to Paris in the Fall. Find the perfect Classico color for your next trip at the Andiamo site linked here, and happy traveling! <3
I love getting to play dress up and the perfect way to finish up any amazing look is with a great pop of color! The new NYX Love You So Mochi collection is the perfect combination of pastel, neons and metallics; everything you need for a fierce new look! I want to put it out there that I am in no way a makeup artist of a professional in any way, this is just a look I created and fell in love with using the new NYX collection so I wanted to share it with you all!
NYX is a really great brand because you get professional grade cosmetics at more of a drugstore price point, plus they are cruelty free! The palettes are compact with a generous amount of product. Now, what gets me is the texture! The products are squishy to the touch! Yea, that might sound weird but it’s the coolest feature, with a resemblance to mochi. The colors are highly pigmented and look amazing on. For this look I went with a bright pink and golden yellow.
Below I have listed each shadow number I used from the Electric Pastels palette and highlight from the Arcade Glam palette.
- Tear duct – shade 1
- Center of lid – shade 8
- Crease – Shade 3 blended with shade 10
For lips I am wearing the NYX Lippie in Teenage Dream
To finish off this look I wore a platinum blonde bob, which really made my eyes stand out as well as the bold lip color. And I kept my apparel subdued with a black off the shoulder sweater and black ripped jeans.
