Fashion Friday (Fall)

I'm LOVING this month already!!  I feel energized, alive, organized, refreshed and ready to take on the world! Seriously, as I'm typing we are getting brand new carpeting up the stairs, hallway and into our bedroom. It's going to feel like a brand new home!   Just what we needed,

So, I have a few cold shoulder tops I cannot wait to wear.  For Fall, this deep blue will be everywhere!! Look how beautifully it pairs with this Brio Tassel necklace.  I should be getting mine shortly!

Here is a white cold shoulder top with our gold fringe, tassel and tote!!  Note the distressed denim and strappy black shoes.  All on trend ladies!

Looking for more of a rocker chic?  Here is our Reese Sparkle necklace shown as a choker ---remember those? I think I was in middle school/early high school when they were popular.  The Pave horn earrings are also super fun with this edgy leather moto jacket.  Also note the leopard watch & bangles. 

Oversized white shirt with a tie at the waist & distressed denim. Simple chic. Arm party is on point, especially with our Every Mother Counts, Illuminate cuff.

I have a few in home trunk shows and a few online!! Shop any of our items, spend $50 and get one of these half off!  I'd love to hook you up with some FREE Stella and you can host right on Facebook.

I adore the New Moon necklace (and it was actually a new moon!) as well as the Aida chandeliers.

The arc pendant is also an easy piece to throw on and go! (loving my Target tees)

A fellow stylist, Alicia is set for Fall with her oxblood mani and gold arm party!

Next week I'll share some items on my wish list and some current finds.  I am also sharing a lot more on my instagram Story-- Styled_by_Jenn

It's starting to feel like Fall.  It's 72 and a bit breezy.  I'm sipping on some red wine and making a Chicken Bruschetta Bake.  I hope it tastes as good as it smells! 

Have a lovely weekend friends.

Follow Friday

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be connecting with some truly beautiful people.  I love blogging and all of the different friends I have made in this internet world.

I reached out to one sweet girl, to see if she wanted to do a little collaboration with KEEP and her blog and my goodness, we had a ball at her online social.

Jessica was en route to her hometown and pulled over into a parking lot, since she had gotten stuck in traffic, to attend her online party!  I am so happy you were such a trooper and appreciate all of your efforts.

I had to share her blog and her post about KEEP.  Once again, it's more than just pretty arm candy; for sure it is so fun and gorgeous to look at, but when I saw Jessica's word of the year, "JOY" I knew she had to have some Keep pieces.

If you take a closer look into her life and blog, you'll see how much she has endured at such a young age.  It's women like this that even though I have never met in person, I know she has impacted me and my life in ways I can't even explain.

Thank you for being such an amazing hostess Jessica and for collaborating with me.  And a quick "Happy Birthday" to KEEP as it turns ONE today!




Who else should I be following in this beautiful blog world?  I love connecting with other women all over the country.

2016: Succeed

With the New Year right around the corner, I am so very excited to have KEEP in my future.  We are about to launch a new line of letters and celebrate the new year with one word.  My word that I chose is SUCCEED.  I want to succeed as a wife, mother, in life and of course my new biz!  I have big dreams and hefty goals for you 2016, I hope you're ready for me!

 I just love all of the positivity that surrounds this company and I cannot believe how much fun I am having!  I am reconnecting with so many girlfriends and enjoying their special moments with them.  It's seriously a blast.

If you're thinking you'd like something new to do in the New Year, you love people and fun personalized jewelry, this could be for you!  I was so excited the other night that I had to sit down and make a quick video about the extra perk of signing up NOW!  You get an extra $50 credit to pick out even more jewelry to add to your kit.  KEEP has never done anything like this and they are celebrating their one year anniversary.  Now is for sure the best time to join and grow with this incredible company.

The best part is that it's whatever you make of it! If you want to do a little on the side, no worries! If you want to earn enough to buy your own pretties, awesome! If you're looking for more income, that is totally possible too!  Join me~  There are tons of groups on Facebook that we all connect and chat on, plus having mentors is always super helpful.

I also wanted to share what my KEEP collection looks like in just a few weeks into this biz.  I love sharing my stories through personalized pieces!  

Arm Candy

I'm all about a good stack!! I love mixing all of the colors, silver, gold, rose gold--and these pieces can turn any boring old outfit into a fun little arm party!  KEEP Collective has so many fun additions for every day and going out!  See more here. 



The sophistication of the gold bands, silver, and a watch scream classic!



I love how you can totally match your clothes and your wrist love.



Remember when we were little and it was cool to wear holiday jewelry? Well guess what, it's cool again!! How adorable are these keys?



I just ordered the "Believe" key!

My personal arm party?  I always reach for the wrap bracelet!!

See, there it is again! 

This is the grey side of the wrap bracelet.

Want to see more? Head over to my social and check it out!  I can add you on FB if you're interested in seeing more pretty arm candies too!

Vacation #3: Cancun, Mexico

****If you haven't entered my new bracelet giveaway, please check it out before Monday 11.21****

GIVEAWAY
Today I am thankful for organic food that nourishes our body.
Yum!
And onto our next adventure:

The song that reminds us of this vaca is this one!

We flew to Daytona for a day to see his grandparents, then flew over to Cancun.

 We spent a lot of time on the beach, 

but it was a bit more cloudy than I would have liked.

 We stayed at The Gran Melia all inclusive resort.

 It was beautiful & I would recommend staying there

lounging!

golfing

our favorite little place with amazing authentic food!

Highlights of this trip:

• beautiful warm water
• unlimited food (all included)
• drinks were all included
• pools
• great staff--one waiter kind of became, "our" waiter {we tipped him really well b/c he was awesome and he took great care of us!!}
• sushi was so fresh
• authentic Mexican food was unbelievably good 
• we snorkeled with fish out in the ocean
• bought some really unique items for our house {hand painted fruit bowl}

However

I want to be honest in my blog and so I will say, out of all the places I've been with Joe, this was my least favorite trip.  There were several reasons...

Agua

I was deathly afraid of the water {as we were told numerous times, don't drink the water!}

If you have seen SATC movie, you may remember Charlotte's episode...

Yeah, well, that did end up happening.  

I didn't drink coffee anywhere but our room with bottled water that I made.

I ordered bottled water only.

I only drank wine...no frozen drinks :(

BUT

I ate the soup.

It was no fun that night.

Language Barrier

I took French in high school & college

Joe took Italian

"Hola" was about as foreign as we got! 
So, we did struggle a bit here and there

Lost Grandpa

I also had just lost my grandfather, in January, who battled Alzheimer's for awhile and it was the first time I had to experience death of a loved one.

It was horrible.
I didn't know how to deal. 

The not yet engaged couple

Joe and I were literally just a year dating so we were still working out our own relationship quirks.

He was no where near popping the question, though we talked about it a lot, but I still had insecurities. 

I didn't resarch, plan, & organize things to do!

I now know this years later, but Joe & I understand the word "vaction" to be different.

He wants to be on the go, exploring, moving, shaking, running, trying, doing, go, go go!

I love to park my butt on the beach with a trashy read and soak up that sun while sipping an ice cold beverage.

Don't get me wrong, I love to explore too, but I'm telling you, hubby won't lay on the beach or near a pool for more than 30 mins.

As you read my later vacations, we perfected this opposites attract hurtle and now are great travel companions!!

Please do not think I am complaining about my trip to Cancun. I value it and did enjoy myself and more than anything, view it as a HUGE learning curve.  I just don't know if we'll ever return to that particular city. I'd like to give Mexico another shot, but there are also a billion other places my feet have yet stepped.
