We had our first Christmas party this week and it was so much fun! (Yes, it was before December 1st & I totally appreciated it!) It launched me into Christmas mode & got me thinking about all of the magical moments that will unfold over the next few weeks – Christmas packages arriving, coffee visits next to a softly lit Christmas tree, baking sugar cookies & balsam scented candles, kids asking (relentlessly) when Santa will make his appearance & hopefully some sparkling snow! Happy December!! ? @kelseyhettinga .

I realize not every girl wants to wear boots that fall under the ‘masculine’ category, but I sure do! (I think it’s the bad a** in me ?)That’s what’s so fun about understanding your personal style! If you love something a little obscure there is always a way to incorporate into your wardrobe! So, how the heck do you discover what your personal style even is?! How do you know which colors best compliment your skin tone, hair & eyes?! What about which silhouettes flatter your shape? Ooooh that one’s my favorite!
These are only a few of the questions we will answer during a styling session! It’s not my job to make your style resemble mine (unless you want it to of course!), it’s my job to help you understand your style, to help you feel confident, alive & secure in the clothes you wear and to put every detail together in a way that’s unique to you!
So many of my clients have become my friends and I’m so grateful for that element of my work! I am proud that my work has produced authentic trust & relationships.
Doing what you love means investing all of your heart and that’s a vulnerable place to be. I’ve experienced some unfair circumstances but chose to let those experiences evolve into lessons that caused me to learn and grow not discourage me from moving forward, even though I was tempted.
I read this on a recent post from @sarahbessey and I couldn’t believe how spot on it was! “The holy invitations to be brave with our life never end, do they? Everything we yearn for requires faith & patience, guts & grace.” Pretty sure that’s my motto for the next year. I needed that reminder that my business was a holy invitation to be brave, to trust God and keep going because he’s got me! He called me.

This has been a funky week. I’ve had a sore throat for the last 5 days, I still feel like I’m settling back in to our normal after being on vacation & I’ve just felt a little off. I’m certain you guys can relate with weeks like this, too.
It’s one of those weeks I feel like I just need a really good (ugly) cry, all of the cozy things in the world and a day to process some deep feelings that I’m having about stuff going on in my world. I appreciate that God allows us to feel things, process them, go through the motions and then He helps us pick up the pieces and begin to rebuild. Wether it’s just an emotional week or it’s a major life battle; they’re the same to Him. He cares about the smaller, hard moments & days just as much as He cares about the hard years & lifelong battles that some people face.

Lamentations 3:22 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” _______________
Airport apparel. Cozy + easy is the only way! Also, all the chenille sweaters floating around right now are the comfiest!! This one is from @zara & I’m rarely not wearing it… even when I’m sleeping I’m wearing it, I’m not kidding. Ps. Socks borrowed from my 6 year old daughter, thanks Delaney!

I’ve been called #cruelladevil once or twice while wearing these shoes and I didn’t mind it one bit! Plus, they are one of my top thrift store finds to date!

This is just the beginning of a story about a girl and her dream. The small moments of victory & hope that shone through the days of questioning. A story about a girl who made sacrifices and chose to trust in the timing of a God who sees the end of her story, who consistently reminded her along the way that He hadn’t forgotten about her dream & He had a plan. He’s faithful. This is the beginning of my story and I can’t wait to share it with you as the pages continue to be written! •

“Before I created you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart…” Jeremiah 1:5

Today I’ve been reminded of something so intimate – that in the moments I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing, He does. He made me for a purpose & before I was even born He was laying my life out to become something beautiful. That’s a pretty crazy thought!

Fall wardrobe is probably the most fun to style! The layers, texture, colors… all of it! —
Do you have a reliable capsule wardrobe? Or maybe you’re not entirely sure what a capsule wardrobe even is! Your capsule selection is the pieces that you will constantly use and go to knowing you feel great in them! Rarely will you need to get dressed entirely with statement pieces – unless you want to in which case, I love your style & fully support you. ✌?

I firmly believe that every single woman, every shape & every size is deserving of feeling beautiful & comfortable in the clothes she wears! It’s not always an easy process, but the end result offers a whole lot less stress & gives you freedom to think about things other than what you don’t have. Plus, you might be surprised what styles you can actually rock that never thought you could!

Styling, building intentional wardrobes, adding statement pieces, styling events & photo shoots or ANYTHING pertaining to styling fashion is what makes me feel alive! I am so grateful that I get to do what I love. —
If you need some help with your personal style, building a capsule wardrobe or have no idea what you need but know you need something (ha!) then I want to help! Shoot me and email and let’s talk!
