Stylish Confidence with Aloncii

VEST // BUTTON DOWN // DENIM (SIMILAR HERE) // HEELS // SUNGLASSES // NECKLACE (SIMILAR HERE) // BAG (SIMILAR HERE)

How often do you put put on an article of clothing or a pair of shoes that just isn't comfortable?!  I have been there so many times and often times I have sacrificed comfort for style.  Over the years, I have learned not to sacrifice comfort for style and I have also learned that I am much more confident when I am wearing pieces that are not only chic but that are most importantly...COMFORTABLE!

As a busy Momma of two, I have found myself consistently adding comfortable pieces to my wardrobe...including comfortable shoes.  I'm still wearing heels but I have turned in those pairs of heels that caused my feet any ounce of pain.  Wearing uncomfortable shoes and having feet that hurt for 24 hours afterwards just isn't worth it anymore.  

I've learned that style IS comfort and BEING & FEELING "stylish" comes when you walk confidently in whatever you are wearing.  If you aren't comfortable in what you have on, how could you possibly portray yourself to be your most confident?!  I know I can't.  If it's too tight...I'm tugging and pulling.  If it's too short...I'm self conscious.  If my shoes are a half size too small, if my toes are stuffed in like sausages, if the pads of my feet are pounding in pain...all I can think about is when and where can I take off these shoes!!!

Today I'm excited to introduce you to Aloncii...an up and coming shoe brand here in Nashville.  Aloncii firmly believes that you do not have to sacrifice comfort for style and that you can have the best of both worlds!  Aloncii will soon be releasing a shoe app that will enable you to customize your shoes at a reasonable price point!  Comfort has a new name in the shoe game...Aloncii!

Stay tuned for the launch of their app & for all of the exciting things to come by following along with Aloncii on their Facebook page...HERE!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and for allowing me to introduce you to Aloncii!  Have a great day!

*note - the shoes I am wearing are not Aloncii, I am part of their campaign focusing on bringing awareness to how comfortable stylish shoes impact the way we approach life and interact with the world around us!

Oh So Sweet With Gigi's Cupcakes

Sweet treats to wrap up the work week...why yes, I think I will!  Who else besides me loves cupcakes...I mean LUUUVVVSSS cupcakes?!  It's okay to admit it, there is nothing wrong with loving cupcakes.  I'll raise my hand twice on this one.  Two hands up for Gigi's Cupcakes!!

Over the last several years, cupcakes have made a new name for themselves.  They have evolved from the Betty Crocker box (don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with good ole Betty Crocker mix) to these decadent delicious treats.  Cupcakes have become chic, fashionable, and frankly...just plain cool.

Cupcakes are no longer mainly seen as a child's dessert...adults have really caught on to the cupcake craze and have been enjoying them as well!  There have been many weddings, adult parties (bachelorette, baby shower, birthday, etc), holiday parties, corporate events, conferences, & social networking events that I have been to where cupcakes have been the star of the dessert table.  I'm sure you can say the same.  Everyone wants a cupcake!

Cupcakes are outside of the norm when it comes to traditional desserts and I love how fashionable and chic they have become!  Instead of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, why not try a tray full of Gigi's "Pumpkin Spice Latte" cupcakes?!  Which are A.M.A.Z.I.NG by the way.  Or the next time you get together with a group of girlfriends to celebrate a birthday, why not bring a box of Gigi's "Birthday Surprise" cupcakes?!

Can we just pause for a moment...is anyone else's mouth watering from all of this talk about cupcakes?!  Again, two hands raised.  I have a feeling I'm going to have to make a run to Gigi's real soon...Halloween is coming up and she has the most adorable "Boo Box" right now too.  See what I mean...cupcakes are for ALL occasions!

p.s don't run off to satisfy that cupcake craving just yet...keep reading below and learn a little bit more about Gigi herself!

When I sat down with Gigi to talk about our collaboration, I was just so impressed with her for so many reason.  She is a woman of God, an entrepreneur who is also a Mom, and she just so happens to be an phenomenal Baker.  Gigi is driven & goal oriented...she dreams big, she chases her dreams, and she turns her dreams into reality.  

She is such an inspiration...Gigi opened her doors here in Nashville back in February 2008 with only $33 to her name.  She always knew that she loved to bake and when the idea of opening her own cupcake shop began circulating (thanks to the encouragement of her brother), she took action and made it happen!

Gigi is a hard worker and has maneuvered through some bumps in the road with such ease.  It is women like Gigi that inspire me (and many of you I am sure) to follow those dreams we have for ourselves.  She believed in herself and what she was capable of achieving and so should all of we.

I encourage you to read more about Gigi's story HERE and I hope you find it just as inspirational as I did!

p.s thanks so much for stopping by and for allowing me to introduce Gigi to you!

Nashville Fashion Event - Off The Record

Hi everyone, I'm excited to share today's post, which is all about "combining music and style for a night of high fashion" at Off The Record Nashville!  Nashville has always been known for its music scene, not always for its fashion scene, BUT things are changing and our fashion scene is evolving and coming to life.  Bringing musicians and fashion designers together on November 1, 2015 for one incredible high fashion night will certainly showcase much of what Nashville has to offer.  It's genius if you ask me.

The runway show will feature a performance lineup that includes Big Kenny Alphin of Big & Rich, Chase Bryant, Gavin Degraw, Kaleo, Old Dominion, The Cadillac Three, Phil Vassar (and others) while top models showcase designs from:

Tribe Kelley

Gucci

Not only is this a night about music and fashion but it is also an event that focuses on giving back...does it get any better?!  A portion of the proceeds with go to Second Harvest Food Bank, which is an organization that works to feed hungry people and solve hunger issues in Middle and West Tennessee.  

If you live in Nashville or any of the surrounding areas, this is a night you won't want to miss so mark your calendar!  Tickets can be purchased at: Off The Record Nashville or by calling (615) 370-6015. You can also see more details on the invite below.  Hope you will join us!
