Holiday Fashion from LC Lauren Conrad

Happy Wednesday friends!

How are we already this far into December? Time is escaping me and I’m trying to soak up all the holiday fun and festivities, work and enjoy all of it!

I wanted to share that no matter if you are attending holiday parties, gift exchanges, holiday shopping or whatever the case may be this season, LC Lauren Conrad has you covered for all your holiday fashion and gifting needs!

This dress is one of my favorites mostly due to the silhouette. I love the length and the shape and you can definitely dress it up or down depending on the occasion!

What is your favorite holiday outfit?

Black Friday Shopping

Happy Wednesday friends!

First I want to share this outfit with y’all really quick! The whole look is Liverpool Jeans and I’m obsessed with their pieces and the quality! Super high-end and classic pieces to have in your closet all year long. I can’t recommend them enough!

Now let’s talk sales! As I’m sure you’ve noticed sales have started even earlier this year so I’m sure most of you have already started shopping. I wanted to touch base on some amazing sales and deals right now and the stores I focus on. My husband needs new clothes and I always grab the best stuff at Old Navy for him, right now their sale is 40% almost everything but that usually goes up for Black Friday! My mom requested some beauty items and loungewear and I can’t recommend Tula enough and right now they are offering their best deal yet and you can use my code LARAMIE15 for 25% and this includes their already discounted holiday sets! I’m also looking at Aerie for loungewear for her, their deal right now is really good, the more items you purchase the more the discount is. As for my stepdad, he’s into tech stuff and I usually find great things for him on Amazon.

As for my most of what I’m asking for this year is the same as my mother. Beauty and skincare items are high on that list as well as a new blender for my morning smoothies and a few other items.

What are you excited to grab during the sales?

Key Pieces I'm Loving Right Now

Happy Wednesday friends!

Hope you’re having a great week so far!

I wanted to share a fun look from LC Lauren Conrad that I’ll also be taking into fall with me! All these pieces would be great in fall as well just wore different of course!

I’m loving the top and and how it could also be worn with jeans and the same heels and bag. The skirt would be so cute with a sweater and some booties and the accessories would go with a ton of looks for fall as well!

I’m working more on purchasing more basics and items that can we worn all year long and multiple ways as it’s something I haven’t always been good at.

What are your favorite pieces for fall?

10 Things To Do Before You Start A Blog

Happy Wednesday friend!

Let’s talk blogging and where to even start when creating a blog. Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how to even start blogging and what steps to take once you’ve decided to build a blog.

You’re in luck I’ve been blogging almost five years and when I first started there was nothing out there that gave me the exact steps to take to start building that blog. I went through tons of frustrations and late nights trying to make it all come together for myself. After going though all that I decided to create a checklist for women looking to start a blog that would give them the steps they need to really get started with that! This was a passion project for me as I didn’t have a resource like this so I made one for YOU! This checklist will give you the ten things you need to do before you start a blog and will help set you up for blogging success!

I’m offering this complimentary resource to you in hopes that it will take all the questions out of the process and help guide you on the path of building your blog!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve friends!

I hope y’all are enjoying the holiday season even though it looks different for a lot of us this year. It’s very different for us as we usually travel up north to visit family and to stay safe we are staying home in Florida this year. That being said we appreciate the opportunity to stay home and enjoy our new place and our décor. Living so close to my parents again we’ve gotten to really soak in the holiday traditions and festivities that are usually rushed, which has been amazing!

We will be doing our own Christmas Eve here at our place and celebrating Christmas with my parents! I’ve really enjoyed decorating our new place for the holidays and this is a look at our tree and some of the decorating!

I hope you have a great holiday however you are celebrating! Lot’s of love!

Holiday Planning

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Can you believe we are less than 3 weeks from Christmas already? Sadly the holidays just aren’t the same this year! We won’t be traveling this year to stay safe so it’s a Florida Christmas for us.

I’m finishing up my shopping this week and doing all the things! Wrapping, baking, and holiday prep are underway! We have all the decorations and lights up so that makes things a little brighter…right?

That being said I wanted to share another kind of everyday look with y’all I promise winter clothes and sweaters are coming soon but let’s be honest we only get like two weeks of cold weather here in Florida!

This has been one of my favorite dresses recently from Old Navy and super comfortable flats from Vionic and bag from LC Lauren Conrad! This is an everyday look for me super comfortable yet still put together!

Holiday Look & Content Planning

Happy Wednesday friends!

I’ve got a fun holiday look from Maggy London for you today! This cranberry dress is perfect for the holiday season and a plus…it has pockets! Who doesn’t love a dress with pockets right? I love this look with some fun heels and metallic clutch to add something special to the look.

This is a classic piece you can wear to the office or out to dinner and be comfortable and put together. A must have in your closet and comes in other colors and prints.

Now let’s talk about something else for a minute for all my bloggers and business babes out there…if you have been struggling with content management and planning this year there is still time to turn it around and become a content expert and stop stressing about posting everyday.

I’ll be hosting a complimentary webinar next week on everything content management and planning and would love to see you there and answer all your content management questions! Click HERE to grab your seat today!

Go Bananas! -LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

As spring is approaching I’m pulling out all the dresses! I absolutely love a t-shirt dress and this one from LC Lauren Conrad is super fun with the banana print! I actually picked this up this winter at Kohl’s on clearance! You can still find it online for $10 it’s a steal! Something here in Florida I can wear all year long especially spring and summer! We all love pieces that can be worn all throughout the year and honestly here in the sunshine state I wear a lot of dresses!

I paired it with some LC Lauren Conrad rose gold sandals and my favorite amazon clear bag from last year! This is perfect for brunch or running errands! Also would be cute paired with a denim jacket and sneakers too for a more casual look! T-shirt dresses are great for all figures and I love that this one has the cute print and tie sleeves, the fabric is a dream too!

This year I’m focusing on being more intentional with my purchases and that goes for clothes too! Shopping my closet more and donating more if I want to purchase some new things! I’m definitely paying more attention to what I’m spending money on!

I’m so excited to share more spring fashion with y’all over the next few months!

What do you like to wear during spring time? Let me know below!

Perfect Green Jumpsuit

Happy Monday Everyone!

The blog schedule we be all over the place until the end of the year with the holidays fast approaching there are still several posts that I want to get up for y’all! That being said can we talk about this beautiful green jumpsuit from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. Florida temps are dropping but not to much and this is the perfect jumpsuit for the cooler days, especially paired with a denim jacket. I paired this with the black straw bag, y’all were obsessed with the spring/summer version of this bag that came in tan and other summer colors. I love the neutral shade to go with the snakeskin printed mules I think both shoes and bag complement the green jumper really well!

The jumpsuit it structured great with buttons and zipper at the front with the belted waist and puff sleeves give it something extra and makes it a more put together piece. Such a great piece to have in your closet, I could personally wear this to work, lunch, shopping out and about. I would recommend sizing up if you’re interested in the jumpsuit especially if you are curvier!

Wedding Wednesday with Shapermint

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Of course with everything glamorous that comes with wedding planning comes the not some glamorous topic of shape-wear. I’ve teamed up with Shapermint to talk about shape-wear for your wedding and just in general!

First off I LOVE what the brand stand for empowering women and giving them confidence no matter what shape and size, shape-wear just helps emphasis what you have and empowers you! Especially for your big day depending on your dress style, shape-wear is recommended to really give you the best shape and Shapermint has a huge range of pieces from different brands based on what you’re looking for!

I typically don’t wear form fitting dresses and two pieces from Shapermint really gave me the confidence to strut my stuff in the red number. I’m wearing the Miraclesuit Shape with an Edge hi-waist brief in nude as well as the Bali Comfort Revolution Comfort Flex Fit Shaping Wire-free Bra and these really did the trick with this dress and are the perfect combo for something tighter fit.

I’ve also been loving the Bali Lace N’Smooth Firm Control Full Body Shaper for under dresses or even could be worn with jeans and low cut top. Shapermint also send over the Empetua Faux Leather Shaping Leggings and these are perfect with a long sweater tunic or top with booties or a t-shirt and sneakers they are a staple piece to have in your closet! I highly recommend checking out Shapermint online HERE!
