Okay so you’ve decided you want to be a YouTuber.  Now what?

I know when I ventured into the video world I was completely unprepared for all the expense and necessary equipment it would take to produce binge-worthy content.

I don’t know about you, but the sun just has a way of making everything better.  Warm rays of vitamin D is good for the body and mind.  It also inspires me to share my happy mood through my clothes.  I love to experiment with daring and bold color combinations that give off spring-time-and-almost-summer-time-vibes that can’t help but make you smile.  

Just like the sun, color can inspire a positive, happier mood and the latest from Old Navy’s Greenhouse Charm Collection is filled with nothing but good time vibes.

Two weekends ago I visited my friends in West Palm Beach for a quick getaway.  So Flo stays hot and the trick about style and dress in these parts is too look like you’re on a permanent vacation.  Done and done.

Initially I’ve stayed away from the bare shoulder trend because I loath wearing a strapless bra but I’ve fallen in love with it’s relaxed, effortless feminine charm.
