Happy Spring Fashion with Gibson

Happy First Day of Spring Everyone!

We’ve finally have come to my absolute favorite season of the year because everything is in bloom.  Spring brings warmer weather, longer days and the perfect opportunity to try new fashion!

Of course I’m wearing all the pieces from the Gibson x International Women’s Day Collection on repeat because the entire line is perfect for Spring.

I love everyone’s individual pieces and it makes the collection so fun a whole.  One of my ultimate fave tops is the Roselyn Ruffle Detail Blouse.  It’s super feminine and romantic and had plenty of ruffles to keep this femme happy.

The color is like a mix of a pastel pink and lavender but also comes in a darling ditsy floral print.

It’s available in Petite, Regular and Plus.  So all of you ladies have an opportunity to rock this lovely blouse and the rest of the collection just in time for Spring!

Have you shopped the Gibson x IWD Collection yet?  Some items have been restocked so keep checking if they are back because if they are they won’t be for long.

Launch Day! Shop the Gibson x International Women’s Day Collection

It’s finally here!  The Gibson x International Women’s Day Collection is officially live and you can now shop my skirt and top on Nordstrom.com!  How crazy is that!

The message behind this collection is so important to me.  Not only did I have a part in designing pieces that I hope women of all shapes and sizes enjoy but it was a chance to be seen on a major platform.

Visibility of what different women look like is crucial because it reflects our reality.

I know when I was younger seeing someone that looked like me would have been so amazing.  I hope all women can see that they posses their own super powers just by living life authentically themselves.

I’m so very happy to be a part of this collaboration!  Thanks to Gibson and Nordstrom for allowing me to add my own little sparkle to it.  Okay so here is all you need to know about how to shop the collection.

NEED TO KNOW

FAQs + 36 Hours in Seattle with Gibson and Nordstrom

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed a couple weeks ago I took a trip to the PNW to meet with the Gibson and Nordstrom teams ahead of the International Women’s Day Collection Launch.

It was really important for the Suzie Turner, the founder of Gibson, to have all 9 influencers meet one another and have us do a photoshoot wearing our namesake pieces for Nordstrom’s site.

I’m still geeking over the fact that this happened and that my face will be on Nordstrom’s website!

Bonkers.

Unfortunately, not all of us could make it to Seattle but a majority of us did and I have to say it really did make this collaboration more meaningful and genuine.  Getting to know the other influencers was an awesome way to learn why Gibson wanted such a diverse group of women to come together.

I have to admit I was sooooo nervous about the entire weekend.

REASONS I WAS SOOOOO NERVOUS

  1.  I was flying literally across the country.  I’m not a good flyer.
  2. I was meeting 6 other amazing boss babes that are powerhouses in their own right. I always get nervous meeting other influencers but I would soon learn I had no reason to be.
  3. I was meeting not only Suzie but her team and the entire Nordstrom Women’s Purchasing Team.  Talk about overwhelming. 
  4. Having to do a photoshoot without the comforts of home like my go to photographer.

I’m not one to let nerves stop me from having an experience of a lifetime.  So I put on a brave face and fake it till I make it.

Watch my Gibson Takeover on their IG Story Highlights.  You can watch some of my time in Seattle there.

I also filmed a vlog of my time too and you can watch it on launch day – One more sleep away!

 Nordy Girls Selfie Time:  I was super shocked that they wanted to get a selfie with me for a coworker that couldn’t make it to the meeting.

coming up roses

It’s hard to imagine a world without flowers.  To me flowers are one of the most amazing gifts of creation.  They vary in color, shape, design, function and not to mention they are just breathtakingly beautiful.  That’s why I try to incorporate fresh blooms in my life at all time if possible.   Continue reading “coming up roses”

wanderlost or lust

Hello everyone!  Oh my goodness!  It’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post and I sincerely missed it.  So much has happened in the last couple of months since starting YouTube that writing has been put on the back burner, unintentionally.  You can do anything, but you can’t do everything, am I right?

So I’m really excited to just be able to sit down, wirte and share this post with you because it’s more than just me in a pretty dress in a field of wildflowers; the story behind this creative day is one for the books. Continue reading “wanderlost or lust”
