Only Looking Up

You really can create effortless outfits effortlessly. All it takes is understanding a few simple design concepts to make getting ready in the morning so much easier. Outfits that don’t look too forced but are still absolutely comfortable, chic and beautiful. Let’s talk about it.

In today’s podcast, I share how I have started embracingimperfection in my style ... and really... life. Grab some coffee and let’s hang out.

I think all of us this year have felt at some point like it’s not worth it to get ready for the day. A lot of people experienced working at home for the first time or just being at home more in general… and so I think we all went through a slump of PJs-all-day, no makeup, hair in a bun, etc. But if we don’t break out of that eventually, it can do some serious damage to our motivation and life outl...

These are the brands I have on my wishlist for the upcoming season. Some of them I have shopped from in the past that I want to revisit, while other are on my radar. 1:04 // Brand 1: Apparel https://rstyle.me/+I8PqRgOPedkWhJWnEJkb9A - Tee I purchased from them, XS https://rstyle.me/+P0OHi7SqSCf7pM5nkEuHQg 2:28 // Brand 2: Shoes https://rstyle.me/+88XiKAJ0Xy7CrVAkLT4a8Q - Sandal: https://rstyle.me/...

Make the next six months of the year the best ever.  Well guys we’re half way through the year already. It’s a great time to dust off that New Year’s Resolutions list we made 6 months ago. Here’s my plan on how to live these next 6 months out to the fullest and win at all your goals.  // Mentioned & Resources // High Performance Habits https://rstyle.me/+DJu2XxHipzSRBVEB8ENjMw Dan Mi...

I started over on my personal style a little over 2 years ago. Before that I didn’t have anything to wear that I felt confident in or that matched. I felt like it was holding me back as a petite woman in a design field. I started over with a basic color scheme and really a capsule of just the most basic items I needed to survive that season. Each item was made with fair-trade practices and quality...

I break a ton of "petite" rules with my wardrobe.  Life is too short to stick to strict laws when it comes to fashion. You need to have fun with it. However, these are the clothes you will rarely find in my closet, things I try to avoid as a 5'1 woman.  // Music from Musicbed // Musicbed Membership for Creators: http://share.mscbd.fm/dearlybethany   // Things I Mentioned // Book by...

Zack joined me for the podcast today to help announce some big news in our lives. We also give very unqualified advice on relationships. :)

I love big comfy outfits, but as a petite I wanted to put together a video on how to wear oversized clothing and still have outfits that look chic... because in reality we can end up looking like a sack of potatoes if we don't follow certain guidelines. I hope these secrets and tips help with your style journey. :) // Favorite shops for finding oversized clothing // Free People: https://rstyle.me/...

I love learning about artisan brands and the people behind them. Today I’m discussing the vision that each of these jewelry creators have for their craft.

These are the things that you can do within the first hour of your day that will make you more successful. As I stated, I don’t do all of these things just yet, and these might only be appropriate for the “get it done” days of your life, not on restful Saturdays. You might need to set up a second routine rather than just having one routine and feeling bad about it on weekends or days off. // Thing...

I personally love timeless style… like when piece of clothing couldn’t be defined by a certain era. If I was to boil my style down to one thing, that would be it. Like if I was a perpetual time traveler, picking up earrings from the 40s and pants from the 70s, etc. With that said, some emerging trends are throwbacks to a classic style…what does MY 2019 style look like that will be somewhat trendy,...
