Lately I’ve been focused a bit more on the business side of things, instead of the creative, and it started to wear on me. After a little self-reflection and a few days deep down in a rabbit hole of creativity, I found myself inspired once again, after drooling over the new Atlantic-Pacific x Halogen Collection at Nordstrom. WOW. This is by far, one of the best (and most fun!) collections for the season. The colors, textures, quality and structure are giving me all the feels, and is about to leave me broke af. If the gorgeous, feminine details weren’t enough, the entire collection is under $250, and is available in all sizes 00-24! Congratulations Blair, you outdid yourself!

Believe it or not, fall is sneaking up on us.  It’s the perfect time to start thinking about planning your fall wardrobe to save time and money.  I challenge you to take an entire day off of work, social media and personal life to focus on you and your wardrobe.  Sort your closet, then head out for a day of retail therapy. Self care isn’t always about manicures and spa days, it’s simply about taking time out to invest in you.  We know how frustrating it can be when it’s time to put together an outfit for a meeting or dinner date and instead of walking out the door on time, we are laying in the fetal position with a half-empty bottle of wine and pile of every piece of clothing we own.  You're shaking your head in agreement, aren't you?  Here’s 5 ways to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall and a chance to win $800 to shop your heart out.

As an entrepreneur, there are three things that can eat up your day. Emails, dead-end client prospects and the deep, black hole of social media. When you're fully aware of how your time is spent, it can be mind-blowing. Think about how many minutes you spend making to-do lists, scrolling instagram, researching something or crafting the perfect email. These boring, but necessary, tasks can easily take up 6-8 hours a week. That's an entire work day if you add it all up!  As a creative entrepreneur or small business owner, you have to be spending your time as wisely as possible.  Here are 5 time management tips I've learned over the years, when working from home.

Being a woman full of curves, finding great wardrobe pieces is not an easy feat.  For so many years, most retailers and brands just assumed that since you were above a size 10, that meant you wanted to dress like an eighty year old that had given up on life.  Finally, they are starting to get it. If you make great plus-size clothing, we WILL buy it. After you take a peek at these gorgeous editorials from Violeta by Mango you will be ready to start building your wardrobe and book a trip to paradise!

Ok, so maybe it's not ideal to want to walk down the runway dressed as a bouquet of flowers like Gigi, but this does get me inspired for spring.  Jump start the season with a splash of color and a pinch of blossoming botanicals from head to toe in a floral print romper or pair this gorgeous, floral crop top with high-waisted trousers. I'm always a fan of mixing prints and patterns too, here are a few simple tips to keep in mind, when mixing florals in your wardrobe...

I've never been more excited to welcome the new year.  Last year was just a pure shit show, filled with grief, sadness, stress and road blocks.  Since 2017 blew, I'm calling for a do-over.  I'm healing well after losing my dad and I have a new energy like I've never had before.  The changes I went through last year, as difficult as they were, brought me to a welcomed place of alignment and evolution.  Surprising enough, this "new person" I turned into, was actually ME, but the authentic version of me.  

Let me explain...

To say this holiday season is a busy one, would be an understatement. I'm swamped, but in the best way possible. I'm finishing up current projects, trying to find the time to enjoy the festivities of the season, while still planning some even bigger upcoming projects. This past week, I've been chatting with a few other creative entrepreneurs and they seem to all be in the same place.  Ambitious, overwhelmed, excited to plan for the new year, but stuck. So I'm interrupting your regularly scheduled holiday programming to just chime in and "preach" for a minute. I'm hoping that maybe this rant will help you overcome one of your biggest barriers.

Success doesn't come easy, but here's a little secret...
