Gratitude…lots and lots of gratitude ✨ so much of this year has pushed me to understand new depths of this word…realizing that we never outgrow the need to recalibrate our hearts to the simple fact that gratitude is so much more than what we often superficially think it is. It’s deep heart work that allows you to find delight both on the mountain top and the lowest of valleys. It’s forever holding the tension of mourning and dancing, and realizing it is/will be well. It’s remembering that gratitude has to quite literally be postured in front of our hearts, in order for us to truly SEE life in the full. . . 📷: @lindzynava

@sweetgreen has landed in the 614 🥬🥦🍏💚 There are no words to contain my excitement about the latest addition to our beloved city…SWEETGREEN. Prior to the arrival of sweetgreen here in Columbus, I always made it my personal mission to find a location in whatever city I was traveling, for a salad fix (they really do have the best romaine lettuce). While I’m slightly embarrassed to tell you how many times I’ve visited their newest location in Ohio, I am not at all embarrassed to share just how much I love having this easy and fresh option as I frolic about the city servicing my style clients. If I know you the way I think I do, I can say with confidence you are going to love it. Here’s a little inside peek just for YOU! Oooh, and oh yes, I’m sharing my order with you too…it’s pretty dang good if I do say so myself! #sweetgreenpartner #614eats #shortnorth #columbusohio . .

Fall Capsule Wardrobe LOADING✨ @talbotsofficial . . One of the things I love about a fresh new season, is the opportunity to refresh my wardrobe. As I continue to grow in my approach to personal style, I’ve come to learn that I’m the girl who collects a few new gems and wears them ENDLESSLY for the season. Wearing the new pieces all together or even pairing back to older things I’ve held dear in my wardrobe… I’m loving the capsule wardrobe approach! For the cooler temperatures that are finally here, I found some spectacular things from #mytalbots to give my wardrobe a fresh dose of life. From elevated basics to wonderfully luxurious coats and knit sets, I am feeling confident and ready to slay the style season ahead. #sponsored . . #liketkit @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/4SK8d

7 years w/ @wardrobetherapy ✨👗🌟 . . I’ll never forget the day. I was having a meeting with @janellenicoleinc at the L. Brands HQ to chat, network and garner some wisdom about possible directions I could take here in Columbus to build a career in the fashion space. We made a move to the city the year prior immediately following the completion of my Master’s degree from @scaddotedu . While I was still freelancing on various gigs and continuing to share fashion and style advice online, I applied for a couple jobs and nothing was really sticking. To say I was feeling defeated would be an understatement…I sat in the tension of doubt, questioning self-worth and ultimately wondering if my decision to go all in on styling was truly the right one. As I was leaving the meeting with Janelle, I ran into @belindajeansmith at the entrance of the building. Belinda was one of the first gals I ever met before I even moved to Columbus. I always knew that Columbus would be the move once I completed my studies at SCAD. Since I was doing school online, I spent lots of my free time commuting back and forth to the 614 and establishing myself online as a “Columbus based style influencer,” as I feared the market would be too saturated if I waited. As a result of the work, I was able to connect with some incredible gals and Belinda was one of them. As she was coming and I was going, we had a quick embrace and she said, “Hey, you know Wardrobe Therapy is hiring?” If memory serves me right, it was that evening or a few evenings later that I sent my resume over to @ebeansmith and while having an early dinner at Harvest Pizzeria, she e-mailed me back and asked me to meet to connect for coffee. And of course, you know the rest is history. CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS

35 ✨ . . I turned 35 yesterday. And boy was it a sweet day. I celebrated by having an intimate dinner party in our backyard with some of the loveliest gals I get to do life with here in Columbus. In many ways, I feel that 34 was been my hardest year of adulthood to date. A season of mourning the things that were, while also looking ahead to the future full of hope. So much of my ability to make it through this year was held tightly together by some of these women that I’ve been able to laugh and cry with. Share a meal with. Text endlessly with (or a voice memo if you know me 🤣). And so on. I’m entering 35 with something I’ve deeply desired since moving to Columbus…friendship…real authentic friendships that nourish my soul. Feeling immensely grateful. #midthirties #simplejoys
