These are the shows I’m watching right now—some elevate my brain cells, some destroy them. Judge me if you must, but they’re all amazing.

These are my tried-and-true beauty favorites—the ones I actually buy again and again. Some are splurges, some are steals, but every single one earns its spot.

Just because you’re comfortable, doesn’t mean you can’t still look cute

I love to give a unique gift and if it’s personalized that makes it even better.

Because not everything fits into a category - but trust me, they still deserve a spot on your list.

I love Coco Chanel's rule, "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one thing". I think the perfect accessory can truly make an outfit

I love a good bracelet stack or layered necklaces. Pieces that will last forever are worth the money. I would rather have less jewelry that is quality and classic than a bunch of costume jewelry but a few fashion pieces are always fun to add to the mix

I believe a home should be both inviting and beautiful-a place where you can curl up with a soft blanket, kick your feet up, and truly relax. At the same time, I'm drawn to timeless elegance that doesn't chase trends. My style leans classic, with pieces that endure year after year. I love the charm of a crisp monogram, the freshness of greenery, the grace of an orchid, and the comfort of a well-chosen pillow. It's all about creating a space that feels lived in, loved, and effortlessly refined.

Fall is my favorite season to dress for, no bulky layers yet, just the perfect balance of cozy and chic. Rich, warm colors, effortless layers, and just enough coverage to feel stylish without hiding under heavy clothes. It's the season where fashion really comes alive.

I have lived in Jacksonville Beach for 25 years. These are my favorite places for food, shopping, and services
