It's funny, style is such a personal thing and it feels like every year that I get older the more tailored and curated my style gets. It has been fun trying to establish my style and learn exactly what I feel best in. Last year on the island, it was insanely hot. We went at the end of July, so I opted for easy breezy pieces this year. Though we are going at the beginning of July this year, the weather won't be too far off from last years.

Every single thing happens for a reason. All of these lessons and events that happen in your life are meant to shape you or help you grow in some way. And the sooner you realize that and you go with the flow of life instead of trying to control every little aspect of it, the freer you become. And the more your soul starts to align with your life & things start to fall in place - in perfect harmony.</div><br /><div><br /></div>

But the older I get & the more I see that life is so short, I realize that the most important thing is to be fully present in the moment and to not take life for granted. When you let go and you just live, life starts to unfold and the path to discovering your true calling becomes a lot less bumpy. This is the second time in my life where I followed my intuition and allowed myself to simply ride the stream of life and it led me to discover even more about myself & what I want out of life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">The first time was when I accepted a merchandising job that I got offered out of no where - I worked in a corporate setting, met new people, learned more about my work habits and what I enjoyed & realized that the position was not for me and that it was totally okay to have tried it as it led me to this self discovery that merchandising wasn't my passion anymore. (note: while trialing this job my mental health did suffer and the number one thing I needed was to cut that lifestyle off from my life so that I could find inner peace & harmony again). As soon as I was okay with the idea that I tried & it just was not for me - another opportunity opened up, leading me one step closer to my true calling.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Interior design, home renovations & real estate has always been a HUGE interest of mine. My "home decor" board on Pinterest is my largest board with almost 3,000 pins. All I used to watch in high school was HGTV and was obsessed with Fixer Upper, Flip or Flop, House Hunters etc (and now it's Selling Sunset although its more of a reality drama show now LOL!) The first major I was interested in was Interior Design, but my limiting beliefs at that age told me I wasn't smart enough for it and I didn't have enough money to study at a prestigious school in NYC or something. All I purchase when I go to Marshalls or TMaxx is home decor items. It's hardly clothing. My favorite class in high school was 1000% when I took an Interior Design course. It's in the facts of my life, but I just never know how to approach this passion of mine as a career since I didn't have exact experience in it besides making my own collages in Photoshop and obsessively watching TV shows. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I created the collage above, I was working as a marketing coordinator for a jewelry company. I was bored during the work day and wanted to design details for our living room when we move into our new house. And there is a quote that I saw somewhere once that goes along the lines of "What do you while you are procrastinating is your true calling." Yay, I found it! Read below:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzKUJaD8vnu0aeZGiQI9aQ0tlJOgkRsarj__JAJvJmrRZmopKNoL_4VJ9gr2qQUXLPN-f5U0WpQhnkurS-ahp7TA4RMSON6C327scyLO1grCqBtuZcI91kqZdSm897GHSO8ecdqGey5c/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="515" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzKUJaD8vnu0aeZGiQI9aQ0tlJOgkRsarj__JAJvJmrRZmopKNoL_4VJ9gr2qQUXLPN-f5U0WpQhnkurS-ahp7TA4RMSON6C327scyLO1grCqBtuZcI91kqZdSm897GHSO8ecdqGey5c/s16000/image.png" /></a></div><br />This quote couldn't be anymore accurate. Obviously it has to be applied in context, if you're procrastinating with Tik Tok or binging tv shows/movies then its a different story (although maybe you are destined to be a social media influencer or movie critic?)</div><div style="text-align: center;">It comes down to this limiting self belief. That we sometimes settle for what we think we deserve, even if it's less than what you know you deserve. It's subconscious - you don't know that you're settling, (unless you're like me and you self analyze 24/7 and don't let a single thought that goes through your mind go unnoticed lol). I believe the art of practicing self care can help you realize that you deserve to be living your happiest life doing what you love no matter what. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This new path of mine is leading me to explore the opportunity of working with one of my biggest and maybe even my most unexplored passions. Luxury Real Estate Marketing. I really cannot wait to start & see where this takes me! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Amanda Carmelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028819486226928177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166934864395940040.post-81187567910495882842021-08-08T10:47:00.004-04:002022-01-16T08:16:50.972-05:00August Update<span id="docs-internal-guid-f7ee2ff4-7fff-f1cc-d10f-42769d1f0b79"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQWopVvDzvrAAYvr_jB7Mhh4dFAoradHW8qicmzJ9BWkS21DJ7M_j_4Rff1mMlrLUxj9sN3ayn8i5ltTK0vvkLBZnlfslUMH26KYmNdk7e1d8Z6gqzxFG2mnRlc6TT6Cwcmfp4dvqxrU/s2048/emma-dau-jJvd5h0-4F4-unsplash.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQWopVvDzvrAAYvr_jB7Mhh4dFAoradHW8qicmzJ9BWkS21DJ7M_j_4Rff1mMlrLUxj9sN3ayn8i5ltTK0vvkLBZnlfslUMH26KYmNdk7e1d8Z6gqzxFG2mnRlc6TT6Cwcmfp4dvqxrU/s16000/emma-dau-jJvd5h0-4F4-unsplash.jpg" /></a></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><br /></p></span>
For years, probably since I was introduced to a cell phone when I was 12 years old, my thoughts and subconscious mind began to shift, as did everyone's (most likely). From the introduction to technology and as social media began to take flight, our reality became altered. It no longer became enough to live life just for yourself anymore. It became a show, more or less. A highlight reel of everything that was "worthy enough" to be posted on social media. What was trending, what was socially acceptable, what was pretty, fit or cool enough - these thoughts infiltrated our conscious and subconscious minds, every second of every day. Not only is the comparison degrading enough, but the endless stream of thoughts that consume our minds to be the best, to show the best of our lives, to live our lives through a lens.<div><br /></div><div>Ever since moving to Florida in 2019, I became much more aware of my appearance and became more self conscious than I ever had before. I was constantly on social media, comparing myself and my life to my others, always wanting what other influencers had. I came to a breaking point during the summer of 2020 - covid summer. I took a break from social media to just see if I could. I was sick of not experiencing life the way I used to when I was a child. Paying attention to the small details of life, the way the soft breeze flows, the smell of freshly cut grass, hearing birds chirping in the distance. When I was on social media, I would be consumed with it entirely. Any free second that I got, I was immersed. </div><div><br /></div><div>The mind is like a sea shore and thoughts are like the everlasting waves, constantly flowing in and out. A cycle that just does not stop. To me, I felt that an overwhelm of thoughts was causing me to lose my sense of self. I thought I wanted my life to be one certain way, but then I would go on social media, see the way another influencer was living their lives and want that life.</div><div><br /></div><div>So what was my true, authentic self? What was my life's mission? My core values? Who was I?? Under all of the Lightroom filters, IG lenses, stories & highlight reels - who really was I as a person? What was not serving me that I continuously kept letting back into my life? What was the life that I dreamed of?</div><div><br /></div><div>There was this stillness in meditation that brought me such pure bliss. That I realized, if I could live my life like this, with no external influences, just living life the way I intended - then my mind would be at peace and there would be no inner conflict. Just stillness and peace - similar to the way the autumn leaves stand in the fall crisp air at sundown under golden, lazy rays of sunshine. Bringing me back to the purity of childhood, when the best part of life was playing around outside & letting your imagination run free.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a result, I started to just let go. I began letting go of everything that stressed me out, all of my worries, fears and uncertainties. Instead of dwelling on the what ifs and how's, I just started to live my life. And be present in the moment. And live each moment to the fullest. I began believing that, yes, everything really does happen for a reason and every step that you take in life is leading you to where you are supposed to be. There are no wrong turns. Everything that is meant to be, will be.</div><div><br /></div><div>This way of thinking eventually forced me to sit down and sort out my life’s values - something I had never done before. I think this comes with age, as you get older you start to just naturally filter out the things that don’t mean much to you anymore; but getting ahold of it while still young at 25 feels pretty amazing. I sat down and asked myself, what are things that make you feel absolutely amazing? Once I listed all of the things that were important in my life - everything just started to make a lot of sense. Pieces of my life were fitting together like a puzzle, and the universe was working it all out for me.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, once I really let go and let myself live, life unfolded and presented me with an opportunity that I could not pass up. I just started a new career as a Merchandise Coordinator, which is exactly what I went to college for and was my dream job in college. I am so ecstatic and couldn’t be more sure that this is the exact path I am needed to follow at the moment. I have taken a pause to focus on nurturing myself, my well being, and my creative side. I hope you enjoy following along the journey with me & I hope you find some inspiration through it all.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Amanda, xx

Hi loves! I can't believe how long it's been since I've actually sat down and written a post. I have a bunch of drafts saved with maybe one or two lines of text that I just gave up on over the months. Ever since moving to Florida, I have been so so sooo busy. Thanks to the self quarantine, I've been able to pick up a lot of the stuff that I had unfortunately neglected over the past few months that I used to love doing. I'm planning on doing a huge update post- talking about why I moved to FL, what I've been up to, and what my plans are soon so stay tuned for that :)<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Reason I Said See Ya to Gluten</h3>
In January of 2020, Paul and I decided to cut out gluten from our diet. The reason why is because Paul has hyperthyroidism, which means his thyroid produces too much testosterone (which means hello muscles w/o even trying!) He was prescribed meds from his doctors over two years ago, but we decided to look into a more holistic approach of healing his thyroid. After some initial research, we found out that gluten can be one of the biggest triggers for hyperthyroidism. After that, we decided to really start eating clean and cut out gluten from our diet. And here's the thing - I cut out gluten for moral support of my Pauly, because it would be nearly impossible for him to live gluten free while I'm sitting right next to him eating a fat a$$ slice of pizza. I figured I'd try it out and if I hated it I'd switch, but it turns out... I truly never want to add it back into my diet ever again.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How Its Made Me Feel</h3>
<div>
The things that I noticed after cutting out gluten: </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>I feel so much less bloated</li>
<li>I hardly get any headaches/migraines (right before, I was experiencing headaches all of the time but now I can confidently say experience them 80% less of the time)</li>
<li>I'm less tired/fatigued</li>
<li>I've been sleeping SO much better than ever before</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We really noticed a different in Paul too - he lost a lot of weight and slimmed down like crazy (and he doesn't even work out super often so imagine if he did!) We also don't eat *most* dairy products and that's something I've been doing for a few years (like I drank almond milk/almond creamers but I would still eat ice cream, cheese, etc), but now we are trying to be a little more strict with our dairy intake by substituting ice cream for dairy free, almond cheese substitutes, etc. (Cutting out dairy is SO hard for me because I love it so much, so it's definitely still a work in progress!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Was It Hard?</h3>
<div>
Cutting out gluten has got to be one of the easiest things you can do for your body. There are literally COUNTLESS gluten free substitutes and alternatives & I swear you can hardly notice a difference in the taste. From pasta to bread, pizza, even bagels! Gluten can cause intestinal symptoms, even in people without celiac disease that include altered gut function, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gut microbiome changes. Cutting it out will help reduce the chances of getting these symptoms and will help heal your gut. </div>
<div>
Of course, when you first start cutting something from your diet it can be very difficult and cheat days are expected. It wasn't until maybe around one full month that we were 100% clean from gluten that I cheated by eating a slice of pizza and I realized how well my body was doing without gluten & how reactive it became when I added it back into my diet. My stomach was seriously doing FLIPS and I could hear it having a hard time trying to digest the gluten. After that, I decided I was never going to go back.</div>

<h3>
Our Favorite Gluten Free Items</h3>
<div>
When it comes to cooking, I now home cook almost every single meal. Our meals consist of mostly whole foods like vegetables & fruits. There are hardly any processed foods in our dinners. We're mostly plant based but we sometimes eat meat here and there (like chicken and ground turkey). Here's what we couldn't live without in our pantry:</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Fruits & Vegetables: (these are what I am constantly buying at the grocery store - we aim to get mostly organic from Wholefoods or Publix)</h4>
<div>

Can we just talk about how stunning the Eliza Printed Dress is?? There are so many occasions you could wear this to. It has the most darling bohemian details (and did I mention it has pockets??) I love the gorgeous indigo blue color + the neutral browns/creams throughout. </div>

I truly cannot stop thinking about summer. I miss the warmth and the sunshine so much - I am definitely starting to feel that seasonal depression coming on strong right about now. Thankfully, in about 2 weeks (OMG!!) my sister and I will be on a cruise that leaves the port of Miami and goes to Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. After that we will be staying in Miami for an extra couple of days to hang out with Mike and his friends! Is it bad that I want to start packing already?! Lol.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Speaking of packing, here are some items/products I'd really love to have before I leave for my trip:</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014VBI5MS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1" target="_blank">Packing organizers</a>: These things look so cool! I saw Allana Davison mention them in her story the other day and I bet that they help keep everything super organized and easy to find! Every time I pack for a trip the inside of my suitcase looks like it got thrown out the plane- so I really think these would help tremendously! They'd also be really great for outfit planning and a method to not over pack as well :)<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G11ZFME/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3G0YTUA429DP4&psc=1" target="_blank">Hand held steamer:</a> I literally do not own a steamer and I don't know how I have survived this long. Lately, I've been finding myself in need of one a lot more often (I think my closet is starting to get so stuffed that there isn't enough room for the clothes to breathe so they are getting wrinkled because they're all pressed together. ugh!) I wouldn't bring this on the actual trip with me (every pound counts and I'm not paying an extra fee for going over 50 lbs lol) but this would be super helpful to prep all of my summer clothes that are in a bin in my garage right now!<br />
<br />
I am such a book worm when it comes to relaxing vacations - that is seriously all I want to do on this upcoming trip! My plan is to: work out every morning, lay by the pool, read and sleep. Like I am so excited to just disconnect and unplug and immerse myself in someone else plot line! I love reading summery-themed books like ones that are based in Nantucket or something, so I may purchase another Nancy Thayer novel (super sappy romance books but god bless I love them) but I also really want to check out this book called Paris Letters! It sounds really interesting and I want to start reading more books that are centered around Paris- it's one of my bucket list destinations for sure!</div>

This baby has so much space inside and all different compartments to help keep your things organized. This would be so helpful when traveling! I know it's on the pricier side, but I think it will last <i>f o r e v e r. </i><br />

I've linked above some of my most essential travel items when I go on vacations! They really make life so much easier when traveling :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Milani lip colors- I think they make such great formulas and their prices are super affordable. I want to try a few more shades in their range - I think the next one on my list is Dulce Caramelo. It's a little bit lighter than Matte Naked but has a hint of brown to it. I want to try to be more daring and out of the box with my style/beauty choices!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of, I am thinking about changing up my Instagram theme a little. Right now, the colors in my theme are very neutral and to be quite frank, a little bland. I'm just feeling inspired to lean more in the direction of a lifestyle/fashion/travel themed blog and Insta- and I want my theme to be fun and exciting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also really want to start <i>wearing </i>more colors as well. I recently ordered some clothes from Forever21 and definitely thought about adding some colors to my cart- I bought some bubblegum pinks, mustard yellows and deep oranges. I want to add some more life to my wardrobe! I eventually hope to get around to do a little try on haul of the pieces, but I've been so crazy busy. If not, I'll definitely do a post featuring most of the pieces!<br />
Have a great weekend! XO</div>

I know I know. This sounds super cliche. But, it's the start of a new year, and 2019 is probably going to be one of the most important years for me so far- so I felt compelled to write a post sharing my thoughts.<br />
I cannot express enough to you how whatever happens in your life, truly happens for a reason. Whatever path you decide to go down, leads to to another opportunity. Whether that be to learn, to gain experience, to meet new people, to learn life lessons from those around you, or to have an entire different change in your course. I know, I'm only 22 years old you're probably thinking, "what does she know?" But, let me tell you that anytime something has happened to me, there has always been greener grass on the other side.<br />
When my first relationship ended back in 2015, I thought there was nothing else that would compare. Fast forward to 2019, I have sincerely never been happier and more satisfied in a relationship- and if Mike ever thought to pop the question I would say yes in a heart beat. The jobs that I've had in Boston and on Newbury Street helped me gain life-long friendships and also helped me to become a native in the charming little city. I made so many friends from my first receptionist job at a spa, and even discovered a passion for aesthetics, which I would potentially like to explore one day.<br />
If I had never decided to move back up to NH and take the job at the spa, I would have never known the passion I had for skincare as well as jewelry making. I switched jobs again and met people who have given me life lessons and helped me to clarify the direction that I want my life to go in.<br />
Now, finally, I landed an amazing internship that I cannot wait to start. Mike and I even talk about the fact that if we had never gone to college, or chosen Bay State, we would have never met. Attending college led to us meeting each other and it is one of the happiest memories I have of us. Another example is if Mike had never graduated with his associates and moved back home to RI, he would have never learned about the free software development/coding classes being offered in Providence, and then a year later would have never been offered the job of his dreams.<br />
If you're feeling lost, or stuck or in a rut right now.. please take it lightly. Your life will work itself out. Take each moment and live it out. Take deep breaths, feel the fresh air that gives you life. Slow it down. Do what you love. Watch movies all day, live out your passions. You do not need to have your shit figured out yet. You have so many years for your path to work itself out. There are so many opportunities and different avenues to explore. One day, you'll be walking your dog at a park or through a city and you'll look at something or bump into someone that could change your life forever.<br />
Happy new year, I wish you all the best of luck in 2019.Amanda Carmelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06028819486226928177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166934864395940040.post-56497810431225385102018-11-16T14:31:00.000-05:002018-11-16T14:31:41.924-05:00The First Snow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is just something so magical and so comforting about the snow. As soon as it falls for the first time of the season, immediately I feel smaller, but more content. I feel as if my little world of trips to the ocean and being on the lake and wearing bikinis for clothes and my levi's shorts and my canvas tote bag filled with my books, sunglasses, towels and bits of sand are stored away in another universe. Onto the next segment of adventures. Cozier and more bundled- small and quiet. Trips to the White Mountains in my boyfriend's Subaru with the heat blasting, blanket scarf draped around me, mocha's in the cup holder listening to our favorite music and visions of blanketed mountains with specs of hunter green poking out like the quills of a porcupine. Unplanned stops to get a glimpse of a spectacular view, or to lazily stroll through the neatly lined shops along a small town center. The entire atmosphere changes when the first snow falls. I become excited for the holidays- to spend them with my family. Watching the Macy's Day Parade, eating until our bellies become stuffed, napping it off and creating new traditions.<br />
It's crazy, how a little snow can make you change your perspective on life. As I look out my window at the sun glistening through the frosted pine trees, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude. I am thankful for this life, where I live (even though the progression of the winters can be brutal), and where I am going.<br />
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.<br />

Hey loves! I can't believe it's September already. This summer <i>flew </i>by. I had sooo much fun though - this has probably been one of the best summers yet! We did so many fun things and explored a lot and just did a ton of memorable things this summer that i'll never forget :) I started classes back up on Tuesday, I'll be commuting again three days in a row and i'm alreadyyy starting to feel worn out from it. I am going to force myself to just start going to bed early from now on! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of going to class- this heat wave we have been having has made getting to my classes absolutely miserable. I literally just sweat non stop the entire walk there and half my make up is gone by the time I get there!! I cannot wait for the weather to cool down just a bit and I can bring out all of my cute fall stuff! Which I wanted to mention to you today! When Emily and I shot these photos a few weeks ago, the weather was <i>perfect</i> - like a perfect 70 degrees and there was a slight breeze that made it even better. </div>

These <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=716766488&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">boyfriend jeans</a> are my all time <i>favoriteeee. </i>I was looking for a basic pair that didn't have any holes in them to just throw on and these were just the most comfortable and affordable ones I've ever found! I was originally thinking of going down the Madewell route, but at only $24 at Target- I could not pass these babies up! Target has their own label called Universal Thread (or at least I think it's their own label??) and they have the most gorgeous stuff at such reasonable prices. Every time I go in there I always just grab whatever catches my eye and when I look at my pile the majority of the stuff is Universal Thread. </div>

Hi honey's!! Today I'm sharing with you the best must have v-neck cami's I've ever purchased! I loved them so much I bought them in both black and white. They have the most adorable little button front details and are sooo soft. I definitely think they are worth it and such staple pieces- super easy to mix and match with other items in your closet!</div>

This past week has given us the most perfect weather- a subtle 75 degrees with a gentle breeze and all it has done has made me superrr excited for fall to grace us here in New England. So in light of some fall wardrobe preparation, I wanted to share a staple that you need for this coming autumn season- the over sized balloon sleeved cardigan. </div>

This is such a cozy sweater and I can already tell I'm going to wear the heck out of it this fall/winter. It's a Topshop sweater and definitely worth the bang for your buck. I vowed to myself that this season would be the season I start investing in high quality pieces that will last me a very long time, and I can tell that this cardigan will be no exception to this rule.</div>

I paired the cardigan with a <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=685002031&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">camel tank top</a> and my <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=740800501&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">skinny jeans</a> from Ann Taylor. I <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=735726433&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">belted</a> it and added my Adidas <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=476067733&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">Superstars</a> to make it casual. But this sweater could be dressed up or down. I originally was going to wear a striped tee under it which would be really cute and was also thinking a pair of army green skinny jeans would give it a nice pop! Pairing it with some leggings on crisp fall days where I need to run around town will be perfect as well!</div>

By the way, I am so thrilled at how these photos came out! I reached out to a local photographer, Emily Conrad of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emilyelizabeth_photos/" target="_blank">Emily Elizabeth Photography</a> and we collaborated on this shoot together for my blog! We got amazing content and I am so thankful for her and her editing skills! I can't believe this is my actual first post with a <i>real </i>photographer with edited and styled photos! I'm so so excited!</div>

we spent the weekend in Cape Cod and it was such a great experience! it was such a relaxing time, full of laid back and genuine people. michael came along on this journey and we made a number of more memories together. we visited seagulls beach and walked & talked, had dinner on main street and explored the shops and ventured down into different avenues, and also took a ferry to marthas vineyard. </div>

we left out of falmouth port using steamship authority (which I would highly recommend because a round trip is only $17) and the ferry ride was probably about 45 minutes. once we got to the island, there were the most quaint and beautiful victorian & cottage styled houses. mike and i wandered the streets, going wherever our eyes took us with no plan or destination. we ate dinner at a restaurant called the sand bar and the food was delicious! (highly rec the haddock sandwich!!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was such a perfect little getaway and michael and i definitely plan on going back to do some more exploring! </div>

my outfit to marthas vineyard was pretty simple - i wanted to stay cool because it was pretty hot out, so classic white shorts, a halter neck tank and some casual sandals did the trick!</div>

Hey guys! This post is pretty different than most of my usual ones, because today I've decided to create an easy to use style guide for men for the upcoming season of fall. I surprisingly had <i>so </i>much fun making this... menswear is truly so much fun and I feel like sometimes we often take it for granted!

If you're looking to spruce up your style and the things in your closet are no longer working for you anymore, use this guide to mix and match all of the pieces! Some of them may be on the pricey side, but I can assure you that when you invest your money into quality clothing- it will actually <i>last </i>more than a few cycles in the wash and people will start to notice your style more. You'll look put together, fresh, and sophisticated.<br />
<br />
<b>OUTERWEAR: </b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Windbreakers, bomber jackets, sweatshirts, utility jackets are all great fall staple pieces that will help keep you warm on chilly days. I also linked some sweatshirts but I'd say in my own opinion, a guy looks much more put together when he is wearing an actual coat on a cold day rather than just a hoodie!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>TOPS:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Tee-shirts (good quality ones) , long sleeve henelys, polos and flannels are great options to mix and match your style. I feel like not everyone can pull off the collared look, so I only added a couple of options in the mix. The key is to get shirts that are earth tones or colors that are not too saturated, they way they are able to go with a variety of pieces. The classic white, black & grey v-neck tees are perfect to get you started. I also think a striped shirt compliments guys really well. Sweaters are also a fun fall option- like <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=730355955&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">this neutral beige</a> one or <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=722103510&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">cream one</a>. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>BOTTOMS:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Jeans- dark wash, light wash & black are your staples. Joggers are next in line in terms of essentials because they can really give a casual twist to any outfit. I love joggers that are in the colors camel, hunter green, navy & grey.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>SHOES</b>:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I know that you guys don't mind spending loads of money on shoes. So I've linked some really amazing quality ones that go with a lot of these pieces. A leather sneaker is the perfect piece to dress up an outfit for a date night or drinks on the town. Boots, I know they are intimidating but I'm sure you can pull them off! Get them in a neutral color and cuff your jeans about two rolls- you'll look like a natural! Slip on sneaks are easy to throw on but also look super sophisticated. An oxford is an office staple so if you have a professional career that requires a business casual dress code, these babies will be your best friend. A black pair of running sneakers are the best option for sweatpants & joggers when you want to be super casual. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
SOME STIGMAS THAT AREN'T REALLY TRUE (IN MY OPINION)</h3>
<div>
<ol>
<li><u>Navy & black look fine together when paired with jeans</u>. In the first thumbnails of all of the products above, the navy windbreaker is paired with a black tee shirt and light wash jeans. Since the blue tones of the jeans are of the same blue family of the jacket, the black tee almost acts as a contrast piece for the two.</li>
<li><u>Brown & black are also okay together.</u> You see it all the time, ladies wear their black leggings with their brown ugg boots and it looks perfectly okay! Same goes for you fellas. If you're wearing brown boots and black jeans, pair it with a dark grey top that acts as a gradient between the two colors and possibly add an accessory like a scarf/hat that has brown hues; or even a coat. </li>
<li><u>Getting clothes that actually fit you is key</u>. If you don't know your size for online, many websites have size charts that you can use to determine. > For your hip size: Take a tape measure and put it around the widest part of your butt. > For your waist size: measure the smallest part of your torso. </li>
</ol>

<br />
<i>1. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=649430455&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">CLEANSE</a></i><br />
PCA Creamy Cleanser: this baby feels like putting on liquid gold. it does an amazing job of clearing out the skin yet also leaving it feeling soft and supple (does not strip the skin or ever make it feel dry). As a gal with dry skin, this is a staple on my beauty counter.<br />
<br />
<i>2. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=2741159&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">EXFOLIATE</a></i><br />
whenever i'm feeling a bit too oily or am having a slight break out, i opt for the Olehenrikson Transforming Walnut Scrub. If you <i>love </i>the feeling of grittiness and a more "abrasive" kind of exfoliant, this baby is for you. The larger granules really cleanse the skin and get down into the pores to reveal soft and glowing skin.<br />
<br />
<i>3. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=649421310&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">TONE</a></i><br />
PCA Nutrient Toner: this is a pumpkin wine-based toner that is designed to help refine the appearance of pores, gently exfoliate and provide added nutritional benefit to the skin. vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and other advanced ingredients gently exfoliate to create a healthy glow. this toner also smells <i>incredible </i>and always leaves my skin feeling super soft and even.<br />
<br />
4. <i><a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=692580866&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">MOISTURIZE</a></i><br />
my holy grail moisturizer for the summer is Clinique's Moisture Surge 72-hour auto replenishing hydrator. this stuff is so great for the summer because it's super light weight and doesn't leave your skin feeling too heavy or greasy. it does an amazing job of hydrating the skin and is a great base for make up application.<br />
<br />
<i>5. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=684400366&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">PROTECT</a></i><br />
PCA Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum: after working at a spa as a receptionist and alongside multiple estheticians- they always stress how important it is to incorporate sunscreen into your daily skincare regimen. this sunscreen really does go on the skin so effortlessly and is so light weight- and does an amazing job at protecting my skin. i only really use this for my face and have yet to get burnt by any means. with an spf of 45- this product protects the skin from the harmful UV rays that the sun gives off.<br />
<br />
<i>6. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=706058095&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">PRIME</a></i><br />
i was on the hunt for a primer that works well with dry skin- and after so much research i discovered the Origins Pore Perfecting Cooling Primer. this stuff does a great job at prepping the skin before make up application- leaving it nice and smooth. my skin doesn't flake off when i use foundation after applying this product which i'm so happy about! it is a mousse formula which is so different than most primers and it really does come out of the bottle <i>cold </i>which is a lovely sensation for people with dry skin.<br />
<br />
<i>7. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=673876083&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">NOURISH</a></i><br />
as an extra bonus for the skin, i like to add some serum on before my moisturizer at night. hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient that helps to restore your skins hydration making it soft and supple. i've been trying out the derma e vitamin c serum and i am absolutely in love with it. with the added ingredient of vitamin c, i wake up with my skin feeling even, bright and plump.</div>

I am so thrilled! Warm weather is finally upon us here in New Hampshire- I am currently sitting out on my deck in 80 degree temps, sipping on a Captain & Coke! ;) This last semester has sincerely gotten the best of me- I was so so busy with school and work that I hardly had time to even <i>think</i> of a blog post to write. But now, I just finished one of my finals today and have one more on Wednesday- and then I'm done for the summer!<br />
I really do love this blog- with all of my heart. I have worked very hard to get to this point and I am not planning on ditching the blogging life anytime soon! This summer will be filled with new content and fun posts- I even want to include some beauty related videos- just talking about my newest finds and favorites! It's always been a dream of mine to start a YouTube Channel so minds well start now!<br />
I have also been super busy with getting my jewelry into P&H's first physical location- at <a href="https://www.thehaircompany.com/" target="_blank">The Hair Company in Nashua</a>! That took a whole lot of preparation to do and lots of labor! (I had to create a ton of inventory all in one night to get it ready for the order fulfillment- so much fun though!)<br />
I currently have my etsy shop on "vacation mode" - for the next two weeks until I am settled into not having school and my new work schedule. I am planning on creating a whole bunch of inventory for my Etsy shop and will be able to work on new pieces much more frequently in the summer with no school in the way! I have so many ideas and visions for what I want to create- so expect some newness to come soon!!<br />
There are also so many new beauty pieces that I want to talk about on here and I want to dedicate a section of this blog to beauty - so expect that as well!<br />
<br />
I just wanted to give a quick update since it has been so long- but definitely be on the lookout for new content soon! Love you all xo<br />

I've decided that I am going to be rounding up my weeks here over on my blog so that people can find anything that I've mentioned or talked about in one simple blog post with links to everything! I will be rounding up Instagram / my outfit posts, favorites, new purchases, and more every Sunday to keep it all filed nicely!</div>

I got this adorable striped tee from TJMax yesterday and oh my gawsssh is this the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my body. I could not leave without it and I could really see it styled with so many other pieces in my wardrobe! I think it will look super cute in the summer with some cuffed shorts or with a nice pair of linen joggers (<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=609524867&pid=uid6976-29740676-92&utm_content=productwidget%3A5ab727e661d1dde973df4818&utm_medium=referral" target="_blank">these ones</a> are so amazingly priced!)<br />

My closet was wayyy too packed and I got inspired this weekend to clean some of it out and try and get rid of some of my clothes. It kind of hardly happened and I kept a lot of it but I noticed how many cardigans and sweatshirts I have and it's so cluttered that it gives me anxiety lol! So I bought this coat rack/holder so that I can have some organization within and outside of my closet. It was made in India and the detail on it is so beautiful!

I'm the kind of person that neverrrr drinks enough water. Like drinking water is such a chore for me to do and I kind of dread it for some reason LOL. But this water bottle helps me drink a lot more, a lot more often. It keeps water SO cold- like I'll put in ice cubes right before bed and will wake up and take it with me to classes and the ice will still be in it! I also love how it has a straw, it makes drinking water much more fun (to me at least!!) I notice myself <i>always </i>going to refill my bottle because I'm always drinking the whole thing! If you know me, you know that <i>never </i> happens so I really give props to this bottle for helping me!</li>

After talking to some of the estheticians about what they recommend for my skin (extremely dry and sometimes oily in my t-zone) they told me about this cleanser. And ohhh my this is probably my favorite skin cleanser of all times. It literally feels like liquid gold on my skin when I massage it onto my face and smells incredible. I have already seen a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin and texture- I am so happy with the results. PCA has wonderful products and they are all very affordable. I feel like in the summer I may have to use a lighter cleanser, but for now it is perfect!</li>

Hi loves! Today, I am sharing with you the 5 products that saved my skin. I can't even describe to you the instant changes I saw when I started using the combination of all products together. These are all super affordable and easy to get from your local drugstore! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My skin was breaking out and was very irritated and sensitive. I also have insanely dry skin with a little bit of oil in my t-zone. It was soo hard to combat this problem and I never knew what to do about it- it felt like I had tried everything! I had switched to a different birth control called Lornya and I was lovvving the way it worked for me- especially because it is meant to help treat acne and did wonders for my skin. However, I had to switch to a generic version of Lornya called Yaz and absolutely <i>hated </i>it. It was the reason my skin had started breaking out so badly again. However, by the second month I believe my skin got used to the pill and I noticed such a big difference in the way my skin was behaving. In addition to switching birth control, I also started using the following products consistently and they all <i>saved </i>my skin!</div>
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=701148927&pid=uid6976-29740676-92" target="_blank">Fish Oil Pills:</a> Omega-3 fatty acids (which are what is in fish oil pills) are unbelievably healthy for your skin and body. They have amazing skin healing and nourishing properties and really help maintain your skins oil levels. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/vMQE" target="_blank">Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser:</a> This product is amazing for the price you pay for it. My mom has always sworn by this face wash and for as long as I can remember I've seen it stocked in our bathroom. When my skin was breaking out a few months back, I had ran out of my face wash and then decided to give this one a try. I can't even believe how amazing this made my skin feel and I started noticing improvements in my skins texture within just the first couple washes. This is such a great product for people with dry and sensitive skin because it cleans and purifies the skin while also being gentle and nourishing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Bounty-Hair-Nails-Gummies/dp/B00YW63CSA" target="_blank">Hair Skin & Nails Gummies by Nature Bounty:</a> This product is probably the one that I saw the MOST changes in the fastest. Biotin is great for skin, hair & nails, and (I'm not even kidding) like the second or third day I was using these gummies one of my friends at work commented on my hair and said that it looks super long and healthy. I think this product does <i>wonders</i> and it really helps to maintain healthy hair and keep it strong, shiny, and long. They also made my nails grow super long and strong as well! I've tried many different brands of Biotin and I always find myself coming back to the Nature's Bounty ones- they taste so amazing and are easy to take! I take my vitamins at night, right before I go to bed for some reason- I just made it apart of my nightly routine, I keep them on my bedside table and take them just as I'm about to hit the pillow! I know vitamins can be tricky to take without food and I'm usually super sensitive to nausea that is associated with medications, but these have been fine with me even taking without a meal.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/vMRE" target="_blank">Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief:</a> THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL MAKE UP PRODUCT. I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE TO YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MOISTURIZER. I sampled this product over the summer and I loved it so so much, I tried to get as much use out of the tiny little cap sized sample that I could. When I looked back on photos of the summer I kept saying, "wow... my skin looked amazing" and little did I realize (in combination with vitamin D) this little product was saving my skin. Once I ran out I continued to make do with some of the other products I had, but over time my skin started to regress and hence the reason why a couple months went by and my skin started to break out again.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked for this set for Christmas and started using it the day I received it, and when I woke up the next morning I am not kidding you guys this product literally made any blemishes that I had VANISH, evened my skin tone and texture, and hydrated my skin to the most supple and soft feeling ever. This is my go to moisturizer and I love it so so dearly. I hope they never discontinue it! The only thing I would say with a negative connotation about this product is that it runs out kind of fast, and the way they packaged it is (beautiful) but unsanitary since you constantly have to dip your fingers into the jar to get the product. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The consistency of this product is similar to a gel-type, but it feels silicone free and nice and light on the skin. Your skin feels hydrated the second you apply it, but since it is so light I find myself having to go into the jar more than 3 timesish to get the right amount for my dry and sad skin. On the days that my skin is SCREAMING for hydration and is peeling and flaking, I reach for the....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/vMSn" target="_blank">Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask:</a> When my skin is super dry I use this product instead of the moisturizer. This one is much thicker and I use less of this to apply all over my face. It really sinks into your skin and heals any dryness. The next morning I'll find that I need to wash it off and really use my face wash to get all of it off- but hey I'll sacrifice if that means beautiful, supple and hydrated skin!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello loves, happy Monday! I had a really productive weekend and it felt so great! As I was checking things off my to do list, I felt compelled to share my ways so that anyone who reads this can try out my tips and make their days off productive too! Sometimes, on my days off from work I tend to get lazy and get lost in Fixer Upper marathons and can hardly get myself up to get things done. However, there are definitely steps you can take to set the tone of your day into a productive one, and here are mine! </div>

1. <i>Make your bed and tidy up your space:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard for me to get anything done if the space I work in is cluttered and messy. So for me, (if I haven't the night before) I will start my mornings off by tidying and organizing my space. I also always (if I have time) make my bed. There is nothing more satisfying/rewarding than coming home after a long day to a made bed! Having my space organized sets my day up for more success because I feel like everything is in its place, ready to go. </div>

This is also another step I love doing to make my days more productive. I love smelling lovely scents that make me happy. I also really HIGHLY suggest buying a Crystal Journey Candle- specifically the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Journey-Charged-Herbal-Pillar/dp/B0010KPYKA/ref=pd_sbs_121_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0010KPYKA&pd_rd_r=440MGZH54CTPK72P1JXH&pd_rd_w=n6GMa&pd_rd_wg=4M4tT&psc=1&refRID=440MGZH54CTPK72P1JXH" target="_blank">Motivation one</a>. I am not kidding, this candle does wonders... if you've tried everything and anything to focus on tasks and getting things done and nothing has worked, TRY this candle out. It has seriously changed the way I work and it really is like the natural version of Adderall. It gets you to focus on all of the tasks at hand and gives you the motivation to start a project and actually finish it. Each candle comes with a little "how to" use paper and a phrase that you can say to make the candles work wonderfully. This has a lot to do with the law of attraction and the way you think- and using your power to make your life work in your favor. </div>

3. <i>Put on your favorite playlist</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kind of music I listen to depends on what kind of mood I'm in, but listening to any music that I love makes me motivated. Some of my favorite Spotify stations to put on are Mac Demarco, Neil Halstead, Bill Evans, Frank Sinatra, and Fleetwood Mac.</div>

4. <i>Write out a to-do list for the day</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to always write out my to do lists, but now I've switched to using my phone/laptop and the app Todoist. It's honestly such a great app to write out lists and is also really satisfying when you check things off. It syncs with your laptop and phone which is also really convenient! Don't get me wrong, I am such a pen and paper kind of gal- when I think of new ideas/projects/plans I love writing it down- and I really think this helps to make your day productive. </div>

5. <i>Plan our your outfit for the day and <b>change </b>out of your pjs</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is also something I am sooo guilty of. When I have days off, I am so used to just staying comfy in my pjs/loungewear, but often times this is the reason why I can't get anything done because it also makes me feel super lazy and unmotivated. I love wearing loungewear, the FIRST thing I do when I get home from work or classes is change into comfortable clothes, but when you're trying to accomplish tasks for the day changing into an outfit that makes you feel great really helps you to get out of that "lazy" funk.</div>

I hope you enjoyed this post- and if you have any days off this week give these steps a try and let me know how it worked for you in the comments below! I'd love to hear how it went :) </div>
