I remember in 2010 when I moved to Baltimore. I had just graduated from the University at Buffalo, and I was eager and ready to start my career with the degree I worked so hard for. I landed an internship in Baltimore at Under Armour, and for someone with a business marketing degree, this was a dream opportunity! I packed up and moved to Baltimore in the summer of 2010 to start my internship and hopefully land a full-time job

So I will be 27 weeks this weekend, and I must admit this pregnancy has been great so far! I am feeling good and staying active to keep my energy up. But the one thing about a changing body is the maternity style. Entering my second trimester, I literally could fit any of my clothes. And honestly, I didn’t feel like going to the mall, walking around and trying on clothes

I can’t believe it has been a year since I left my corporate job to start my business. I am not going to lie, this year is flying by!! The main reason why this year is going by so fast is because I literally have been on the move. My business has been non-stop, in a great way! Running a business is not easy, and there’s days when I question myself and what I am doing, but I keep pushing and I stay motivated.

This past week I literally cleaned out my entire closet to organize and make room for all of my spring/summer styles. This summer, my key focus is all about easy, comfortable, and effortless style. I literally got rid of ten bags of clothes because I essentially wanted to start over with my summer wardrobe and get pieces that work with my summer mood.

At 16, I specifically remember writing down my goals for where I would be by the time I turned 30. I wrote that I would be married with two kids, driving a Range Rover (my dream car) and a doctor!! Yes, a doctor. For some reason, I thought that being a doctor would mean that I was super successful and rich, boy has that “goals list” changed!! When I was between the ages of 16 up until about 24, 30 seemed like such the “real adult age”. The age that I gave myself a deadline to have everything done!!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I LOVEEEE it! My family has always been very big on Christmas and all of our many traditions. I think I believed in Santa until I was 10 years old haha. My parents did it all for me and my little sister, so it is without question that Ernest and I are doing the same for Aria.

Lately, all I have been in the mood to wear is sweats and an oversized tee; basically, my everyday work-from-home uniform. I typically love getting dressed up in more posh styles, like tailored pants and chic blouses. But, my mood usually determines my style, and the relaxed look is so me right now.

I will be the first to admit that red typically is not my first choice when it comes to clothing items. I don’t know why, but I use to shy away from the color. But this season, I am all about it! If you have not noticed, red has been everywhere this fall and I must admit, I have fallen for the hue.
