Touch me - A Valentine's Day Lookbook

Touch me
Not with your hands
Nor with your lips, you see
Embrace me
With just your words
Sweet nothings
Caressing my ears
Sending chills across my neck
Down to my back
Tell me
Not your mouth
Not with your voice, you see
But with a gentle glance
And with your smile
Sending tiny butterflies all through my spine
Lift me
Like a pack of red balloons
Floating across a cloudy summer sky
Not with your willing capable arms
But with your gentle kindness
Your love
Your passion
Your full attention
Take me
On colorful romantic adventures
To places I wouldn't dare dream about
And back on our couch
With conversations that last a lifetime

Love me

A spring full of print and color

STYLE

This spring, I’m all about flowy dresses, dancing barefoot, and stepping out in statement mules. I’ve been keeping my hair in braided extensions. They’re great for easy updos, and headwrap styles. They’re also perfect for adding drama to my fancy dance moves, that often include shaking my head, shimmying, and a little hip shaking. OK, maybe they’re not that fancy, but they’re pretty fun!

Red this holiday season

STYLE

I’ve been called “extra” many times before I even realized or maybe accepted that I was. So when Intermix asked me to choose a look for the holiday season, I selected this multilayered bright red two piece work of art by AMUR. When asked where or what occasion I’d wear it to, I answered: The real question is where could I NOT wear this look? I would wear this to eat dinner with my husband for his birthday. Or I would call some friends and tell them that we’re going out for fancy cocktails and dinner, and yes, I would arrive in this ensemble. I’d even wear this to take myself to the ballet and book a table for ONE at one of my favorite French restaurants in New York. But, since we’re talking about the holiday season, I’d wear this to dinner for NYE too.

Autumn with Anthropologie

STYLE

Aight, so boom! I was minding my business one day, and Anthropologie slid in my DMs and asked me if I wanted to be best friends. I was excited about the offer, but I couldn’t really show my eagerness so I responded: It depends… Are there perks to this friendship? All jokes aside, I was ecstatic to partner with Anthropologie to put together five colorful looks for fall. I live in Austin now, and we have MONTHS of fall unlike my old city, New York City. So hunny, I’m serving: eclectic librarian and cat lover, colorful gangster who helps the elderly, romantic dame, sultry art director on a Friday night, and soulful reader and tea connoisseur.

Three Ways to Style Your Jewelry This Fall

STYLE

Fall is my favorite season. It’s the perfect time to play with layers, textures, and statement jewelry. I simply can’t resist a good pair statement earrings! I selected some stunning pieces from KENDRA SCOTT, and even challenged myself with getting some dainty options, like the CROWLY NECKLACE. I decided to use all of the gifted jewelry and styled them THREE different ways for completely different occasions.
