I have always been drawn to those that are authentically sharing ... Read More

  • I am so excited for @booksmart to hit theatres on 5/24!📽 I was lucky enough to see an advanced screening a couple of weeks ago with my #rideordie @ashleyfmadden and I was ACTUALLY crying laughing! . This movie already has a 100% rating on @rottentomatoes! It’s got a bad-ass, mostly female cast. It’s directed by badass @oliviawilde. My most favorite thing about this movie? It’s a truly authentic picture of best friends and the high school experience. They kept 👏🏽 it 👏🏽 real! . Click the link in my bio for advance tickets starting this Friday, 5/17!🎟 . I’ll be going back to see it again! Let me know if you’re in #sandiego and wanna join! . . . #hbtbooksmart #ad #booksmartmovie #booksmart #oliviawilde #rideordies #bffs

  • Wedding dress shopping seems so complicated!🤷🏽‍♀️ . But on the blog (link in bio) you’ll find my top 10 finds for beautiful gowns for every budget, and serious size inclusivity! 🙌🏽 . No matter what your size is, I’ve rounded up 10 retailers that are size inclusive, and you’re not doomed to just a “sample size” when it comes to finding your fave.👗 . Short and flirty? Formal length and embellished? Ball gown? Bedazzled? ✨ . #mamagotyou . From $150 and up, there’s something for the beach bride, the ballroom bride, and everything in between! Bonus, these retailers all start at least at a size 10 (although the majority do straight sizes from a 0, as well)!🦄 . For bold options like affordable customization with @anomalie (that’s what I did! 🙋🏽‍♀️) to semi-custom options like @kiyonnacurves . And I’ve even got retailers that let you try on dresses at home for a small fee, like @cocomelodyofficial and @iheartazazie🤯 . Your designer dream go-to boutique finds, @onedaybridal @essenseofaustralia & @kleinfeldbridal 💸 . And then there’s your off-the-rack, affordable, and totally easy to tailor options like @torridfashion @davidsbridal & @modcloth!🛍 There’s something for everyone!
