YouTuber helping women learn how to celebrate themselves through fashion

07/01/2022

On Feb. 6, 2019 I sat in this exact same seat and shared very vulnerably how afraid I was to start posting fashion content here on IG. ✨Swipe to see the photo I shared and my caption at that time.✨

It’s been over 3 years since then and all I can think is how much I’ve grown. I had something inside of me that was just dying to come out but was so afraid of how I would be perceived. Yet I pushed on in spite of those fears and I just can’t help but think of how happy I am that I did that. Maybe part of me was afraid to be seen, afraid of rejection. But as I continued to vulnerably share my outfits and even parts of my life with you on here, you told me that I inspired you and many of you have messaged me sharing how in some way I had a part in changing your life. It’s incredible really, and I am so honored and humbled to think that is possible simply through sharing my OOTDS every day. I just can’t help but think of Maya Angelou’s quote: “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”

So here I am now leaving this platform to focus on other things that bring me joy, like my son, Montana. I am ready for the next step in my journey which will be a meeker one. If I could leave you with one last thing, it would be to LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE and don’t be afraid of what anyone will think because those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter. 😘😘😘

*Make sure to check out my saved Live from tonight. I shared why I decided to leave IG, what’s next for me, and answered your influencer and fashion questions! Thanks for so many of you joining! I felt the love!!!

🥲 A bittersweet farewell 👋

I have decided to say goodbye to my full-time job on the internet. I know, it feels crazy that I can walk away from everything I worked so hard for these last 3.5 years! But I’ve always tried to hold it loosely knowing everything could be lost in a second (MySpace anyone? 😂).

I know my time here has been beautiful and I have gotten so much love in return on this little corner of the internet.🥰 Ya’ll are amazing! Although I won’t be active on IG, I’m not going to delete my account, the art that I have poured into this will live on right where it is. ☺️ Who knows maybe I’ll start up again in the future!

I’d love to share more about why I am making this decision with you in a more personal way, so I’ll be doing an IG LIVE on June 30th at 6pm PST. I will make sure to save the Live to my IGTV if you can’t make it, so you can watch later.

I’d love to answer any questions you might have for me so drop them below in the comments! I’m fairly transparent, so if you have any questions about this influencer thing or anything else really- I’m happy to try to answer them in the live as long as I can get them beforehand!

I want to just hug all of you and say a huge THANK YOU because for so many years you have supported my job and community on . I also want to thank all of my brand partners through the years for supporting my work so that I could be home with my family.

I love you guys so much and thank you once again for being a part of my community here. Always remember you are loved, you are valuable, and you are beautiful just the way you are! ❤️

XO

More photos from our summer road trip. 🤗 Do you have any road trips planned for this summer?

*We started off camping at the Feather River near Nevada city, then we drove to North Lake Tahoe and stayed at Basecamp hotel and rafted the river while we were there. Then we headed to Mammoth for more camping and exploring.

It was so nice to be with my family and to be off my phone (for the most part). I really enjoyed our time together and it caused me to do a lot of soul searching and thinking about what I really want going into this next season. I’ll be sharing more about that soon so stay tuned. 🙂

We got to visit the Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno, CA (my hometown).

“In the early 1900s, Sicilian immigrant, citrus grower and visionary Baldassare Forestiere began turning what was useless farmland into a vast network of rooms, tunnels and courtyards as a subterranean escape from the sweltering Central Valley summer heat.

Using only shovels, picks and other hand tools, Baldassare was inspired to excavate for forty years, going as deep as 25 feet underground and spanning over 10 acres. He grew fruit trees and grapevines underground - many of which are still thriving today!” -Undergroundgardens.com

Can’t believe I didn’t start wearing red till I was 32. I’ve shared this once before but if you’re new here I wanted to share it with you...

I had this really powerful moment about 5 years ago while painting when I felt it imperative that I begin to slather the canvas with red paint. I was so nervous to “ruin” my painting. It might sound stupid but I was sort of afraid of the vibrancy of red and how bold it was. Something strange happened though and I began crying as I spread the red paint around with my fingers. I didn’t know what exactly was happening in that moment but I feel like it was a moment of breakthrough and getting over my fears- not just in painting, but my fear of fully embracing who I am. After that unintentional art therapy moment I actually started watching on YouTube and began to make a major pivot in my life. I started wearing what made me happy (including the color red) and not what was trending (at that time it was neutrals). I began to enjoy who I was created to be instead of wishing I was someone else. ⁠
⁠
It’s funny that it all started with the color RED! ⁠*Swipe for some of my favorite red outfits over the years* As well as a throwback to the red “kimono” outfit that made me want to start creating content at the very beginning. Which one is your favorite?

Obsessed with this reversible set gifted from *. This is my first venture into the checkerboard trend and I must say I am feeling it!!! Are you into checkerboard print? Y/N?

*What I love about all of Vetta’s clothes is they are so versatile and most of them can be worn several different ways and pair with almost all the other items in their capsule collection. If you haven’t heard of Vetta already, go check them out! I knew both the owners in high school and they really are the kindest most wonderful women. I am so happy to see how successful their brand has become!
