Hi friends! I’ve been MIA on IG for a while now. Mostly because I just wasn’t feeling it as a fashion blogger. So, I decided to completely change the direction of my content to be focused on food and entertaining. I’ve been in the kitchen baking and cooking away and I can’t wait to share all of my recipes and entertaining tips with you all! 💗

It was so nice to be able to make this Father’s Day breakfast for the hubby this morning! Honestly, with a little effort, you can make it better than a restaurant experience! It’s all in the presentation of food and the table that makes it so special. .

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing well! 💗
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on IG. To be honest, I feel crippled by fear of putting myself out there. I haven’t posted any new blog posts in a while either. I don’t know if I’m just overthinking everything but this is the second time I launch my blog. I launched it last year in June and then closed it down a few months later and launched again in April this year. I just freeze and I struggle to publish anything new after launching. Even though I’m always writing a LOT! I just don’t finish what I write because I feel it’s not good enough. I’m also so self-conscious and don’t like the way I look in photos, so I avoid taking pictures. Which is silly because I decided to be a fashion blogger. I just feel insecure about myself all the time. .
.

The weird thing is, I wanted to be a writer, and yet, I’m afraid to write. Why am I struggling so much? Am I that afraid to fail? Or is it something else? Maybe I should just publish several different things and try different styles of writing until I find something that feels good and natural and something my audience resonates with? .
.
I feel like I’m letting down my subscribers and my family. I realize I can’t keep having these feelings if I want to succeed. So, my plan is to just start writing and publishing and testing out different things until something works. .
.
.
Is anyone else struggling with this? If so, how do you deal with it? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 💗

🌸 So glad that’s it’s finally Friday! Being outside in the sun makes me so happy! I’m really so in love with my maxi dresses this season! 🌸
This week, I’ve been thinking so much about how much fear has stopped me from doing so many things. And, although I’ve been steadily working towards overcoming the fear and the internal resistance I feel. I still have a long way to go! I’m still very nervous and apprehensive about putting myself, my blog and pictures of myself out there! But it’s something I want to do so I have to keep pushing through the resistance I feel. What’s fear stopping you from doing? Please share with me. I’d love to know! 😊💗 .

I love wearing strappy shoes! They just add that little bit of edge to any outfit without losing the feminine touch 💗 Do you like wearing strappy shoes? My 15 yr old is my photographer #nikond5600 💗

I definitely have very eclectic taste in fashion and I love modern style just as much as I love classic style. This look is a perfect mix of classic, elegant and chic, but still very modern. What’s your favorite style?
