A Moment of Silence

June 28, 2015

My loving father passed on to heaven on Saturday, June 27, 2015.  He is no longer in pain nor suffering the emotional trauma of losing his wife of 49 1/2 years back in 2012.  There is comfort in knowing that they are back together again.  Therefore I am taking a moment of silence here on my blog to mourn the profound loss of my dad and grieve properly.  I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers.  I’ll be back in a few days.  My advice for now is to go hug your loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you.  Life is precious and every day is a gift!

A moment of silence for my dad

    Stacie, I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to you. I’m happy that he is no longer suffering and is reunited with your Mom now but I also know how your heart is going to grieve. If you need to talk or vent or scream, remember I know what you are going through and I’m here for you.

Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother- Filmed a quick outfit of the day before my mother-in-law could see that I had my shoes on her white carpet.😅

Today will be a travel day. Heading home and feeling so grateful for everything in my life including the people and the incredible opportunities that have come my way.

Have a great weekend friends!💖

Today’s outfit is white cropped pants (longer on me at just 5’1”, but so perfect for us petite ladies who want to avoid alterations). Paired with the most flattering v-neck,  a pair of black slides and the most fabulous heart pendant necklace. Let me know if you want LINKS.

Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻 Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻 Said yes to the trip.🙌🏻

Yes to the opportunity.🙌🏻

Yes to the version of me that’s ready for more.🙌🏻

Because every flight booked is a chance to grow, explore, and step into something new. The outfit just comes along for the ride (and even better when it’s cute and takes you from travel to dinner).🙌🏻

Here’s your sign to stop waiting and start going. 

Where are you saying yes to next?

Just unboxed my Ryder hoodie from Seas and I’m kind of in love with the hot pink and the gorgeous embroidery. It’s super cozy, easy to throw on, and adds the perfect pop of color.💖

If you’ve been looking for something comfortable for cool mornings or evenings, this one’s definitely worth checking out. 

Let me know of you want DETAILS on how to get one too!

Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friend Sharing my outfit from a casual dinner with friends last night. Does it look familiar? I wore the same top and jeans in different colors a few videos back!😉

My cropped jeans are @oliverloganla and I love this brand because they carry petite lengths for us shorties. The brand is size inclusive and their products are made following ethical practices. They’re very affordable too!

I’m also sharing some of my new jewelry favorites and old treasures too along with a bag that I just couldn’t resist.

Please let me know if you want LINKS with the details.

Have the loveliest day and weekend ahead!💖

Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care. Skincare is one of my favorite forms of self care.

I recently received a few skincare products from Starike, a KBeauty brand. This is the one that really stood out for me. It has a whopping 21% niacinamide and it’s still gentle on my skin.

Niacinamide can help to achieve a brighter, smoother complexion with a reduced appearance of pores. I’m excited to see what this will do for my skin over time.

🤩 You can see this pore serum and all of their products on the Skin-Seoul website or comment SHOP and I’ll send the details to your messages.
