How to Style the Stefanie Mini — Lace & Pearls Jewelry

November 5, 2019

The piece coming in at number one is the Stefanie Mini! Since launching this style a year ago, I've sold 67 units. Her story is unique — she started out as the 'Stefanie,' a double-layered necklace (instead of a single layer), adorned with semi-precious (celestite) gemstones. What makes her unique is the matte gold chevron layer.Model: Megan of Diary of this Girl 📷: Sarah Wolfe

I’ve often wondered how to incorporate my handmade jewelry line — Lace & Pearls Jewelry (LPJ) — into my blog outside the typical outfit posts. It occurred to me that it would be fun to share the story behind each piece of jewelry. And this post is timely, as LPJ is celebrating its two-year anniversary on November 7th. Woot! This feels like a great time to begin a new series on my blog.

June 19, 2019

There are many benefits to having a smaller closet, including getting ready quickly in the mornings and saving money. With that said, I wanted to discuss the topic of shopping your closet.In the last year or two, I have embraced having a smaller wardrobe and stuck with it while continuing to refine and downsize. There are many benefits to having a smaller closet, including getting ready quickly in the mornings and saving money. With that said, I wanted to discuss the topic of shopping your closet. I first wrote about the subject in this post, but focused on the benefits versus the “how.” The purpose of today’s post is to provide you with actionable tips you can incorporate into your routine.

How to Wear Sneakers and Still Look Cute

May 16, 2019

I never thought I would wear a pair of sneakers outside of the gym, but now that it's become trendy it makes sense, particularly for me with my foot issues.I never thought I would wear a pair of sneakers outside of the gym, but now that it’s become trendy it makes sense, particularly for me and my troubled feet. If you’ve read this blog for a while, or know me in real life, you may be aware of my feet issues and how I never wear uncomfortable shoes. So when the tennis shoe became the “it” thing, I was determined to work them into my wardrobe.

Outfit Remix: 3 Tips on Shopping for Timeless Fashion Pieces

May 3, 2019

Timeless fashion pieces are a must, and investing in quality, potentially higher-end items pays off. Plus, they retain their value and never go out of styleOver the years, I enjoy looking back at my style choices. Personal style should evolve as trends and preferences change. But what does it mean when you think you’ve created an entirely different look, only to realize that you wore something similar almost 4 years earlier. Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did it Again” comes to mind, but really?!

  • Sparkly cream jacket, check!
  • Neutral undershirt, check!
  • Gray denim/cords, check!
  • Unique brooch, check!

Wow! In which year did Asa wear it better? LOL. I hope that “2019 Asa” is a bit more fashion forward than my 2015 self. I do know, however, when I was younger, I was more adventurous with my fashion choices and dare I say it, “trendy.” I would rock a jumpsuit, overalls, culottes, hats, neck scarves — you name it!

Instagram post 2194780788904634650_1901416106 Spent the entire weekend at the Holiday Market 🎄selling @laceandpearlsjewelry. I can’t wait to go home and snuggle up under my @bedvoyagebamboo bed set and drink some tea☕️ and curl up with a good 📖. 💫
What’s great about this bed set? A handful of thing. 😊Each set includes: 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 2 pillow cases. The sateen material is great for year round and also for those who run 🥵. They’re also echo friendly and hypoallergenic. Double tap if you love crisp sheets? 😊#bedvoyagebamboo #ad 📸: @hellorigby
Instagram post 2193304804560864534_1901416106 Yesterday I treated myself to a green tea 🍵 latte from Starbucks, it was my first time trying. 😋 I normally keep it simple and get either an americano or soy latte. What’s your favorite Starbucks drink? Happy Friday. ☕️
Instagram post 2191687562442215975_1901416106 So I might have overdone it and now I’m feeling it. 😩 Burnout is no joke and it’s important to take care of yourself. I’m actually working on a post about surviving the holidays 🎄and beyond. I hope to have it completed soon. 🤞🏾
💫
In the meantime, I want to learn more about you 💕and the type of content you want to see. Please take a moment and answer my survey questions on IG stories. If you want to get more specific, feel free to introduce yourself in the comments and share who you are. Thanks so much! 😊
Instagram post 2190447584940840732_1901416106 I love long weekends 💕and this past holiday 🦃 weekend was the best! @laceandpearlsjewelry participated in the Holly Jolly 🎄 market Friday-Saturday and on Sunday I continued to work on my side businesses. 🙌 Needless to say, going back to my day job 👩🏾‍💻today was rough. 😴 I may or may not have fallen asleep 💤 once I was back home. ☺️ How did you spend the past few days? Did you hit up any sales? 📸: @nicholas.mercado
Instagram post 2189706197794500973_1901416106 I have discovered the perfect 🎁 ! #ad These @bedvoyagebamboo facial washcloths. You get six in a pack, 3 white, and 3 black. They're made from bamboo, rayon, and viscose and are excellent for those with sensitive skin (they're hypoallergenic). 🙌🙌🙌They're resistant to bacteria, mildew, and odors too. But wait, it gets better! 💝 These babies are stain-resistant. Yes, that is correct! 😊I have used mine to wash off my foundation, waterproof mascara, and my charcoal face mask and it still came out clean! 👍🏾So basically it's the perfect washcloth and I want to gift them to everyone in my life. 💫
⭐️ Bed Voyage is doing their Cyber Monday sale right now and offering 25% off of everything through December 2nd. Use code CYBER25. 🙌🙌🙌This would be a great time to pick up a new towel or sheet set or gift them to the person who has everything. 💝My husband and I love them. It's truly the PERFECT gift. 😊 #bedvoyagebamboo ⭐️

Instagram post 2187437488937790080_1901416106 Happy thanksgiving 🍁🍽🦃! We are doing a bbq 🍖 thanksgiving with ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, and macaroni. I’m not much of a 🦃 person so my husband decided to do ribs 😂! I would have preferred something a bit lighter but whatever🤷🏾‍♀️, he’s the chef 👨🏻‍🍳. How are you spending your holiday and what did you cook or plan on eating? 📸: @merrrgirl
Instagram post 2186894204389711554_1901416106 Happy thanksgiving eve! 🦃 I spent the day setting up for the Holly Jolly market🎄. I will be there on Black Friday and small business Saturday 🙌🙌🙌 selling @laceandpearlsjewelry. Check out my stories for some behind the scenes. #laceandpearlsjewelry 💕

Instagram post 2185880499489268381_1901416106 Fall 🍁 is by far my favorite season! 🍂I feel like it’s the only time my true style shines 💫through. My second favorite season is spring 💐because I can wear my warm-weather clothes with fewer layers. 🙌Since fall is top of mind (and timely), I thought it would be beneficial to share my top 2019 fall trends. 😆If you’re lucky, you might already own some of these items, as they’re less trendy and more classic which I love! 💞Link in bio. 📸: @_studiosalty
