Empowered Women – Volume 4

March 20, 2019

For today’s Empowered Women post, I am introducing you to someone who I have “virtually known” for about eight years thanks to the world wide web. Erica and I originally got to know each other through the beauty community on Youtube and through our blogs. Erica has exquisite taste in home decor and I love her clothing choices as well. I think you’ll all love Erica as much as I do. Be sure to check out her social media links at the bottom of this post to keep in touch.
Erica Elia Empowered Women

Tell us a little bit about YOU:

I am a wife to an amazing man and a mom to 24 year old daughter that lives in Atlanta and a 17 year old son. I work full-time in the corporate world but in my free time I love working on my passion which is my Blog and Youtube Channel. I love the opportunity I have had to meet so many people in person and through the internet from all of the world. I love sharing home decor ideas to fashion finds.

Favorite Quote:

Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never want to do it any other way. -Unknown

Biggest disappointment:

When you open yourself up to put your life out there in the social media world you will find that sometimes there are unkind people and at first I was very disappointed that this even existed but then I quickly learned that you can not let a very small group of people stop you from making a difference for a much larger group. You can not take someone’s actions personally and never let it stop you from going after your goals.

Favorite Piece of Advice:

I always share that you should never keep your nice things put up for a special occasion. Life is so special that every day is a special occasion and use your items often. You deserve it!

Favorite Collaboration:

I am currently pairing up with Loft and they are hosting a Meet and Greet in Atlanta on March 30th. I would love for you to join me and you can find out more details on my Instagram page.

How can we support you?

I would love to have you follow along on all of my platforms as I share and for you contribute in the comments to also help others with ideas and tips!

      She announced a few weeks ago that she wasn’t going to do it anymore and focus on her family instead. I believe I saw her post on instagram just today though. I’m certain she would message you if you sent her a message or email. Stacie xo

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

I’m petite at 5’1” and these cropped length pants fit me great, along with their tops. The brand is eco friendly using recycled materials in many of their products. Very cool!

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

Let me know if you want links and sizing info.💖

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
