It’s Not Too Soon for Great Holiday Gift Ideas!

October 13, 2020 By Jacqueline 0

I know it’s a little early to shop for the Holidays but is it ever really too early to get some great ideas? I have a few products that are perfect for people on your list. Like that guy in your life that’s hard to shop for, the sister or bestie who loves jewelry and even that relative who is totally into health and fitness. Another great thing about these products is that you can find on them all on online!

Let’s start with Delicora Jewelry because everyone in my family loves jewelry including me and this line is just lovely. Delicora jewelry is uniquely lightweight and has a delicate and simplistic style. Every collection in this line is made using hypoallergenic 14k gold filled and sterling silver materials for even sensitive skin to enjoy. The collection includes a wide range of semi-precious stones intended to capture a woman’s confidence, natural beauty and individual style. I love this about the company too – Delicora prides itself on its charitable DNA and for every piece sold, 20 meals are donated to fighting hunger through Feeding America. They also just launched their Fall collection! Check out this darling set of earrings that are perfect for that person who likes classic but understated jewelry.

Pricing is very affordable and runs from $25 – $100 and up to $150 for some sets. To order go to their website at: Delicora where you can get a 15% discount on your first order for signing up to get on their email list.

Geekey
My husband is a pretty handy guy so when he saw this product he basically geeked out about this go-to-tool! He immediately put it on his key chain in anticipation that it will be a great thing to have the next time he doesn’t have his huge tool box with him. The Geekey has so many uses but is super small – the size and shape of a house key! Incredibly Geekey has 16+ tool functions in the palm of your hand. Crafted out of 420 Stainless Steel, it takes on big and “tough as nails” jobs, yet measures in millimeters and remains lightweight. This is a really great gift idea for your husband, boyfriend, or dad. The Geekey is available on Amazon and runs about $26.99 but if you have Prime it’s only $20.69 right now!

Hudson and James

This line of products includes clean collagen, supplements, and skin care. The collagen comes in two different flavors, chocolate, pink lemonade and unflavored. Our sample was the chocolate flavor and I have to say it’s really delicious. It is very flavorful with no after taste and melts very well in my coffee every morning. You can drink it in water as well. I really like the fact that it’s collagen and protein in one product and can get the benefits of both in one drink. There are so many benefits to gain from adding collagen to our everyday regime such as improving skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints not to mention it supports gut health.

Hudson and James also has a line of supplements that I would love to try and includes Vitamins A-D-K and something really intriguing called Daily Zen. Daily Zen is a special Ayurvedic formula that includes 17 curated botanical, adaptogen, and herbal properties that delivers an abundance of antioxidants that help support health and longevity.

The Hudson and James beauty line is also vegan and cruelty-free. The skin care line is free from aging carcinogens, toxins, synthetic color, fragrance, glycols, DEA, TEA, parabens, paraffin, nitrosamine releasers, and lauryl sulfates. Many of the ingredients are sourced from sustainable farms or co-ops to help provide fair wages and valuable income to support women, families, and entire communities. We believe in quality over quantity, which translates to no mass-produced ingredients. Any product from this line will be perfect for your health conscious gift recipient. Go to their website at: Hudson and James

So as you’re starting to think about the holidays check out these fun and thoughtful gifts. They’re also available to order online so even better!! Happy shopping and stay safe!

Get Ready to LEAP + Summit Packing List

May 4, 2017 By Jennifer 0

One week from today, we will all be together in Zagreb, Croatia. Jump head first. Stepping out of your comfort zone. YES, I am ready to LEAP into action as an official LEAP Summit blogger and life learner! Are you ready?

Get Ready to LEAP!

LEAP is an action verb. The main focus of the conference is on themes connected to innovation, IT and modern technologies, entrepreneurship, career development and life-changing stories. LEAP stands for Learn, Engage, Act, and Progress. Of course we all LEAP in our own ways and in our own time, every day, through our stories, our pursuits, our endeavors. We have different backgrounds, goals, and passions, but we all LEAP together, and that is when we are at our best. And we will be all together on Thursday to hear keynotes and attend many sessions. Get ready to LEAP into action!

Packing List

Can you believe LEAP Summit is just one week away? 1 week, guys! Thinking about that got me in the mood to par-tay. You in? Here’s a suggested packing list as you mingle with other changemakers.

Chambray top: A classic chambray button down is great for layering–as a base layer or second layer, and it’s basically a neutral.

Cardigan sweater: You want to pack at least one cardigan sweater, again, because you want as many layering options as possible. Weather in spring anywhere is unpredictable. I prefer cardigans in either grey, or black, as they go with anything you layer over them.

Black v-neck sweater: The v-neck sweater is slightly more versatile than the crew neck. Why? Crew necks can look dowdy if you layer certain things over them–such as a blazer, for example. They’re also harder to dress up. But a v-neck shows a bit more skin, and can be dressed up for a night out to dinner, and also looks great layered under a blazer, cardigan or any other type of jacket.

Striped long-sleeved tee: You’re not going to believe me, but this is going to be the one top you’ll reach for over and over again. Stripes just make your entire outfit cuter–it’s that simple! I love the long sleeved tees for travel, because they keep you warmer, but you can always roll the sleeves if you get hot.

Classic blazer: No-brainer, obviously. Layers. LAYERS. You get it, right? A blazer is an ultra-polished outer layer that works great if your weather is warmer than planned, and also is a great under layer below a coat if necessary. It also looks extra sharp for conferences like LEAP.

Black v-neck tee: Again, a black v-neck is about the most versatile item you can pack. You can get away with wearing a black v-neck with your statement earrings and chic ballet flats for dinner. Another color, however, is much harder to dress up. (For example, pink? No way.)

Dark skinny jeans: Dark skinnies are a must, because they show the least amount of dirt, and are also great for going out at night. You can easily get away with one pair of jeans the whole time.

Boyfriend jeans: I like the extra “oomph” that boyfriend jeans lend to an outfit. I think they have a lot more personality than regular skinny jeans, and at times, are certainly more comfortable.

Ponte pants: They feel like leggings, but are significantly more durable and polished looking. They’ll keep you much warmer than leggings, and again, can look significantly more dressy when you don’t want to wear jeans.

Striped shift dress: A nice alternative to jeans, I’d recommend throwing at least one shift dress in your bag–they’re perfect for LEAP Summit. Make sure to choose a style that looks great with all three of your footwear options, and throw in a pair of opaque tights in case it gets chilly.

Black ankle booties: Booties look cute, provide great support, and are durable no matter what the weather. I prefer ankle booties to riding boots personally because I think they’re a bit more versatile. You can wear them with dresses and boyfriend jeans, for example–something you probably wouldn’t be able to do with standard riding boots.

Converse sneakers: Being on your feet all day, you’ll often want to trade off the type of shoe you’re wearing each day. Converse provide a great alternative to boots, and look cute with jeans, dresses, whatever.

Ballet flats: I love the lace-up flats! If ballet flats aren’t your thing, chic loafers are another excellent option!

Backpack OR Crossbody: Something else you probably think I’m crazy for saying, but you only need one purse. REALLY. I promise. I prefer (wait for it) black, but as long as you ensure it goes with everything you’re bringing, choose whatever color you’d prefer! I would strongly recommend either a cross-body bag or a mini backpack which you can put your LEAP Summit schedule, business // contact cards and notebook for note-taking.

Simple statement studs: Bring one pair of statement studs that are still relatively simple in case you’d like to dress up your black v-neck sweater for dinner, but you’ll likely need little else.

Silk Scarf: Silk scarves are the easiest way to dress up a simple outfit. Your packing list is not complete without one! Plus, they add some extra warmth! Choose a color that compliments the rest of your items, but is enough to look pretty!

Red lipstick: Aside from a silk scarf, the best way to look polished is with a classic, red lip. Lips always have the tendency to get extra chapped and dry during travel, so you’ll want something that still provides some moisture while looking great at the same time.

PACKING TIPS: When packing, roll your clothing! You can fit significantly more clothing in your bag than with folding. Plus, it minimizes wrinkles. Don’t wait until the last minute! Last minute scrambling always results in stuffing extra items in that you don’t need! If you forget something, you can always buy it there. 🙂

Tomorrow = Last Day to secure your ticket at LEAP!

Tomorrow is the final day to buy your tickets to LEAP Summit, so don’t forget to make one the SMARTEST decision of your life, if you haven’t already. See you there! Make sure to say HOWDY, too. Don’t be shy, as I never meet a stranger. 😉

How to Wear Boots This Spring

March 31, 2017 By Jennifer 0

We like to think of spring as the most appropriate time to invest in new shoes, as we are cleaning out our closet. We prefer investing in shoes that we can wear year-round, like boots. Yes, you do not just have to wear them in the fall into winter. With many styles of boots, you have many options from booties to rain boots to the classic ~~cowboy~~ cowgirl boots. Not to mention, the warm air inspires us to create outfits with a little more flavor. 😉 And, we believe the foundation of real posh look starts with solid footwear.

To encourage a closet refresh, we curated a list of four ways to wear boots this season, all of which are surely bolder than the ones you’ve tried before.

#1. Western boots and colorful socks can also be paired together quite comfortably this spring.There’s nothing that quite tickles our fancy like well-paired socks and cowgirl boots. Not only will the socks make wearing your bot comfortable, but a peek of the knitted accessory over the top of your boots adds interest to your outfit.

#2. We see a lot of boots this spring that allow for breathing room with holes all over or a mesh creation.Go for boho chic look. White off-shoulder top with belted midi white skirt or skinnies team up well with these boots.

#3. Vibrant shades of leather boots are a common look for the spring 2017 shoe trends.Whether tucked into a pair of jeans or styled with a skirt, vibrant colored boots makes any outfit pop. Go bold this season!

#4. Snakeskin looks pretty amazing as a bootie this spring, or you can play with the option of the combination of simple leather and snakeskin boots.Black boots are great, but snakeskin boots are so much cooler. Look and feel like a rocker this season!

Whether we are looking at the square toes or the rounded versions, warm weather boots are a real thing and the colors are what make them attractive for the real posh moms in the world. How will you be wearing your boots this season?

Fall Fashion Trends 2016!

September 9, 2016 By Jacqueline 0

Labor Day has come and gone and fall is officially only a couple of weeks away. Even though it may still feel like summer it’s never too early to be thinking about the trending fall fashion statement that you can make with that next purchase. Some of these trends you may have already in your closet!

Florals – If you’re like me you may not be a huge fan of florals but they are super popular this Fall and I’m willing to give it a try! A lot of designers are using it in everything from sweatshirts to skirts and long dresses. I’ve already invested in a couple of tops to pair with jackets and jeans.

Pantsuits – Not since I worked in an office years ago have I owned more than one pantsuit at a time but I think it’s time to invest in a new one! The right pantsuit is a very sharp statement and will take you from daytime to night with one outfit.
Off-the-Shoulder – This trend was very popular in Spring 2016 and it’s not going away this Fall. Many designers have it in their line – blouses AND dresses. Think Farmer’s Daughter goes to the Big City.

Plaid – Plaid Plaid and more Plaid!! All the major labels were showing plaid at New York Fashion Week – coats, skirts, and even cocktail dresses.
Velvet – I’m pretty sure that I’ve re-homed most of the velvet that I had left in my closet but I have to say I am loving some of the looks for Fall.
Sherling Jackets – Shearling is back this Fall in different styles and colors such as brown, black, tan, and even blue.
Chokers – Don’t tell me that you don’t have at least one choker in your jewelry box left over from the 90’s. I’m so glad I held on to mine because they’re back. Fat, skinny, shiny – it doesn’t really matter, just tie something around your neck and it will give your outfit that added pop!
Trending Colors:
Tan – lots of tan everywhere! It always makes a classic statement.
Pink and Yellow – Together! I would never had put these two together but I’m a fan.

Pumpkin Spice – Nothing says fall like pumpkins and the color Pumpkin Spice is hot hot hot this year! Almost every designer’s collection has it included in their line. The muted color can be paired with back, blue and tan and will work with most skin tones.
Burgundy, Maroon, Merlot – Whatever you want to call it – it’s everywhere! And if your son just started school at Texas A&M where Maroon is the school color and rules everything – this is one happy Mom.
