The Cutest Non-Maternity, Bump-Friendly Romper

   

Happy Monday, y'all! I'm here to interrupt the #NSale with one of my favorite rompers ever. It's non-maternity but bump-friendly, and I wore it before pregnancy, and plan to wear it after. It's forgiving in the tummy area, or enhances a bump depending on how far along you are! It's more of a splurge but I think it's totally #worthit. These cork sandals are a summer staple that will NEVER go out of style

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Favorites

  

It's here! It's here! If you're a cardholder, you're here at this post because you're shopping... so I'll get to the point. All my favorites from my try-on session are below, plus some handbag + gift + home favorites at the end. Happy shopping!!

I love this whole outfit. Wit & Wisdom jeans are so flattering and such a great price point (I'm wearing a size 4 for reference - they are unbuttoned ha!) This sweater is sooo cozy and cute for fall. I love the neckline. You can't go wrong with a blanket scarf and the colors in this one are so pretty! Last but not least, these wedge sneakers look almost identical to my favorite Linea Paolo ones but they are cheaper! So comfortable and true to size. These rose gold Kendra Scott earrings are everything! I have them in solid gold and wear them all the time. 

I love any jumpsuit - especially a red one! This is SO flattering, fits like a glove and I love the bow because it kind of disguises the tummy area (unless of course you're preggers, then it enhances it!) This JCrew necklace is part of the sale and is a great summer staple.

LOVE this jacket. This color goes with everything and I'd recommend sizing down if you're in between sizes. I'm wearing a small, but I would have gotten the XS. This is a fun floral top that's super flowy and great for layering! These booties. I get a pair of Blondo booties during the sale every few years because they're AMAZING. So comfortable, waterproof, flattering ankle length - they've got it all. These are a definite must-have.

Army jacket! Love this one. So lightweight and I love the contrast stitching. These jeans are AG and they are amazing. If I weren't pregnant, I would be grabbing these STAT. I am already trying to find the maternity version! I also love these leopard slides. They'll never go out of style!

These are the same AG jeans, plus these perforated DV booties. So comfortable, easy to throw on with everything, and true to size. I also love this top - even though it's basic, it is a flattering neckline and can be dressed up or down easily.

Can't miss the workout wear! Zella is my favorite and I was in need of a new sports bra (hello, boobs!) and I love this one so much. Here are the pants (which fit over my bump as of now - I went up to a M).

In LOVE with these shoes and even more in love with the price tag. This is a super soft, comfy Zella tank which I love for my barre classes! 

This white top is great for throwing on over workout wear or just with yoga pants, etc. Easy and basic!

Okay - this dress is a MAJOR winner. It is ridiculously cheap ($29), and SO cute if you have a baby bump! I got it in this color and black, and I'm wearing a size small. Paired with my favorite Blondo booties.

Wouldn't normally pick this dress off the hanger, but it's really fun and different. I'm wearing an XS and this would be so cute with tights and black over-the-knee boots in the winter.

Another bump-friendly winner! I plan to wear this on date night because it enhances the bump and the bust ;) It's double layered so you feel really sucked in and not like you're exposing every bump and lump... I am in a size small. LOVE this one.

Perfect moto jacket in the perfect pretty neutral color. Love! Size down.

This was the only coat I found that I really loved. It's so classic, the perfect weight, and will never go out of style. I also love the color because it literally goes with whatEVER you wear underneath. It buttons over the bump but I rarely button my coats all the way so I think I'll be able to wear this all the way through pregnancy.

How cute is this navy number?! I'm wearing a size 4P and it's bump-friendly if I were wearing it NOW. It's not super stretchy so it won't grow with me, but it's also super cute for non-bumpers. Just fun and flirty while also being classic!

Love, love this jumpsuit! Cute ruffle detailing, can be worn now or go into fall with a jacket! Wearing a size small and it's plenty roomy in the tummy area. Great for bumps and non-bumps alike.

The Nordstrom Sale 2018

  

Happy Tuesday, y'all! I've gotten a lot of questions about whether I'll be sharing my favorites from the Nordstrom Sale this year and the answer is, absolutely! Nordstrom is my home away from home and I'll be bringing you all my favorite stela and deals. But, I don't want to be annoying or overwhelming so I'm going to do my best to not bombard you with too much on social media. All my picks will be here on the blog, so tune in if you're interested!

Remember, if you want to shop the Nordstrom sale with me (in person or online), make sure you email me for an appointment! And if you haven't heard about the Yearly Style Subscription that I launched yesterday, click here for more details. You can use some of the in-person or online shopping hours in that package towards the sale! **The past couple of years I have realized that the inventory in stores is (obviously) much less than online. It has proven really beneficial for me to shop with clients in the store and then supplement with online shopping links, or just do the whole thing online! If you're interested in this, just email me.

Here's a rundown of how the sale works, what to look out for / buy, etc: 

THE DETAILS

when 
JULY 11 :: Level 4 cardholders get to pre-shop the sale a day early
EARLY ACCESS (Nordstrom cardholders) :: July 12-19
SALE OPEN TO ALL :: July 20-August 5
*You can still apply for a card to gain early access (and in my opinion it is COMPLETELY worth it because you can do debit or credit - there is no reason to not be getting rewards!) If you don't have a card and don't want a card, don't worry. They keep plenty of stock on hand for regular access, so not everything will be sold out by the time you get to shop! 

what's on sale?
SO. MANY. THINGS. But mainly, it's the best time to stock up on fall items. From designer denim, to coats, to boots and more, you will leave this sale wanting fall to come NOW, and your wardrobe will be fully equipped for the next season! I also love their exercise gear that goes on sale (particularly Zella & ALO), and there are a ton of beauty buys, great gifting items to stock up on and keep on hand, and lots of designer deals. This leather jacket remains one of my favorite NSale purchases of all time. 

what i'm shopping for
Here are some examples of what I'm looking for this year, and what I bought last year...
designer denim at a fraction of the regular price
a great pair of fall boots / booties,
vests & outerwear
candle packs for gift giving
workout wear
beauty tools that never go on sale, Clarisonic + more
a great fall bag
Kendra Scott jewelry

shopping tricks? 
Go as early as you can, or pick obscure hours! AKA, if you're able, go right when they open at 10AM. Don't go at lunchtime because it will be a mad house. Don't go right after work. The best deals go QUICK so the early bird gets the worm!

Head back over here on Thursday to start shopping the sale with me!

The Yearly Style Subscription

  

Happy Thursday, friends! Today I am finally sharing something that's been in the works for awhile and that I feel is going to be so beneficial for all of my clients! Introducing the Lifestyled Atlanta Yearly Style Subscription... Instead of scheduling your wardrobe consults, revamps, & shopping trips here and there throughout the year, you can get over $2200 worth of services for a fraction of the price - not to mention an abundance of exclusive access for subscribers; including a customized online portal where you can keep track of all your Look Books, shopping lists, shopping links and idea + style boards that I send you. The style subscription includes multiple hours worth of wardrobe consulting, personal shopping & online shopping services, as well as unlimited access to advice from me when you're in any style situation. That means if you're in a dressing room, getting ready for a night out, or just browsing online, you can shoot me a text with a photo and get my advice. Here's a rundown of what the Yearly Style Subscription includes:

  •  2 wardrobe consults to use in each season (spring/summer + fall/winter)
  • 4 hours of personal shopping to use at your convenience
  • online portal with access to your personalized Look Books, shopping lists and links, inspiration boards, a messaging center to send & receive files and links, and more!
  • 4 virtual shopping sessions (I send you online shopping links for whatever season, occasion or trip you have coming up)
  • unlimited outfit + style advice via text (between the hours of 10AM - 5PM)

I'm so excited to start offering this because not only does it save you money, it will hopefully make your life EASIER! Don't worry about keeping track of the emails I send you with your Look Books, shopping links etc... they'll all be in one spot now. Plus, it gives me the knowledge and ability to work with your wardrobe over a full year so that we can get it exactly where we want it to be.

So what are you waiting for?! The Style Subscription has officially launched and lucky for you, there's an incredible EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: $1200 for all who purchase within THE NEXT WEEK. After that, the price goes up to $1500 (still a steal with over $2200 worth of services!)

To purchase, just click HERE.
As always, I am here to answer any questions you may have! You have a year from the date of purchase to use your services.  Remember, I want this to work well for YOU, so some special circumstances / situations may be accommodated to extend further than a year.

We're having a BABY!

   Β 

Happy Fourth of July, y'all! I am SO excited to finally share why I've been pretty absent on social media and the blog these last few months... WE'RE PREGNANT! Harrison and I are literally over the moon excited to welcome a little GIRL (!!) arriving January 1, 2019. The past few months have been filled with anxiety, hopefulness, sickness, EXTREME exhaustion and lots of JOY as we got to see a healthy baby at each consecutive appointment after going through more than a year of losses (More on that below). It has been a long and winding road to get here, but we couldn't be more overjoyed and excited and SHOCKED that God has chosen us to be parents to this little baby girl! As you can imagine, I cannot WAIT for all things nursery, yummy little girl clothes and having a miniature partner-in-crime for life. We're officially in the second trimester so stay tuned for lots of things coming to the blog! Bump-friendly fashion (yep- I've already got quite the bump!), nursery inspo and so much more. We just truly, truly can't wait. So next 4th of July, we'll be adding a little firecracker to our crew at the beach!

I also realize that sharing this news brings mixed emotions for many of you reading this and I just want to say that I understand. After over a year of miscarriages and feeling hopeless, scared and unsure of what our future looked like in terms of growing our family, we find ourselves here in this place of such joy and seeing God's goodness and faithfulness in our lives. It was not an easy year; our faiths were tested, our marriage was tested, we watched as friends and others around me were able to easily get pregnant and had to fight feelings of resentfulness and anger. I know the feeling of wanting to delete Instagram and Facebook because you just can't bear to see another pregnancy announcement. I just want to let you know that if you have gone through / are going through miscarriage, loss, infertility issues, etc. that I am ALWAYS here to chat - even through the internet! - and that even though this place you're in can feel so lonely, you are NOT alone. And if you are in this season, I highly recommend Ellie Holcomb's album 'Red Sea Road', particularly the song 'Find you Here.' 

Thank you for reading and following along, even when I am not posting as regularly! I promise to bring you all some super fun content in the coming weeks and months.

Xoxo,Β

Summer Statement Earrings

   

Happy almost-first-day-of-summer (even though it feels like we've been in the thick of it for awhile now- holy heat!) You all know I have a love affair with statement earrings and this season has brought some of the cutest ones I've ever seen! Also - I'm seeing an animal / bird trend that I'm totally on board with. I just ordered these and cannot wait to get them in. 

Here's a round-up of all my current favorites. You can shop them below the image! 

I asked... You answered! Best Mascaras

  

 
 

Well hey there, friends! Yes - I realize it has been AWHILE since I last posted. Things have been crazy busy this spring and my business will always take precedence over the blog... sorry for the radio silence! My business tends to slow down in the summer which hopefully means I'll be able to bring you lots of fun new content in the coming months! 

A few months ago, I asked you all for your favorite mascara recs. I was in the market for a new one (I like to try a new one each time I run out) and you guys gave me SO many recommendations! A lot of you asked me to share, so... better late than never! (Can we also talk about how it's impossible to make a cute face while putting on mascara...SMH)

The mascara that was an OVERHWELMING winner (based on number of people who recommended it):
It! Cosmetics Superhero Mascara.
I tried it, am obsessed with it and didn't even need to try anything else. It's by far the best mascara I've ever used - I'd rank it over Better Than Sex, Dior, Monsieur Big, and others I've tried.

Here were a few close seconds:
Benefit Roller Lash
L'Oreal Lash Paradise
Tarte Maneater
Too Faced Better Than Sex
(I have tried this and do love it, just not as much as Superhero)

If you're in the market for a new mascara, look no further! If you have any favorites I didn't mention, feel free to leave them in the comment section below.

Spring Shopping Event Recap

   

Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing some images from our Spring Shopping event last week. We had SO much fun! In case you missed out on what this is, here's a little bit about the event. 

Today I'm sharing some images so that you can get a better feel for what this entails, especially if you're interested in hosting one of these! I have had a ton of interest and although I personally host a few of these per year, this is an event that is super fun for a group of girlfriends, a client entertainment event, a group activity, etc. 

If you're ever interested in organizing one of these events, just let me know! Not only is it a unique and fun activity to do, but it's such a great value; each person is essentially getting 2 hours of personal shopping services for a fraction of my normal pricing!
Here's a roundup of the night:

HAPPY HOUR
We had a great Happy Hour at Ruscello, full of yummy apps, prosecco and conversation. This is a fun precursor to the actual event and lets your group chat and mingle before we start.

SPRING MUST-HAVES PRESENTATION
During this event, I focused on spring must-haves. This is totally customizable and I can focus on whatever you think your group would like best - how to dress for work, what works best on what body types, accessorizing tips, etc. 

SHOPPING!
I love how everyone was so willing to come out of the rooms, show everyone what they had on, trade items with other shoppers, and just have FUN with it. Plus, each shopper got a special gift from my friends at Kendra Scott, which was amazing!
Β 

Oh what fun we had! If you have specific questions, just leave them in the comments below and I'll answer them.

You can shop what I'm waring, as well as almost all the things you see pictured above, below:

20% off for Mom!

  

It's May 2nd which means Mother's Day is only 10 days away! This is a big time of year for me because so many people love to gift my wardrobe + shopping services to the moms in their life! Whether you know a new mom who needs a post-baby refresh, a wife, sister or mom who looks in her full closet and says "I have nothing to wear!", OR a mom who needs a wardrobe revamp by adding things into her wardrobe with some personal shopping. I've got you covered in ALL of these situations!

From now through May 11, take 20% off all services with code THANKSMOM. E-certificates and printed gift certificates are available (these are redeemable within one year of purchase, so she can use it now, or in a different season!) 

Show the mom(s) in your life how much you care with a super unique gift that will help them refresh, streamline and revamp their style. Because we can ALL (especially moms!) use that, am I right?!

You can browse all services by clicking on 'Services' in the navigation bar at the top of the screen. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll find a roundup of my two most popular services in the 'Highlights' section of my page. Click HERE to purchase!

Happy Mother's Day Gifting!

All Tied Up

 
 

I love a good tie-front top. Why, you ask? Because you can make them as short as you want, which is great for different waisted pants, skirts and shorts. Depending on where you want your top to hit, you can tie it up shorter or longer to hit at the most flattering and best length. They're also just plain cute. Today I'm sharing all my favorite tie-front tops, including this cute peach number that I shared last week as a Friday favorite.
