When you’re of a certain age and single you get all these labels added to you. You’re too picky. Stubborn. Unrealistic. Blah blah blah. I’m here to tell you those labels aren’t true. We’re not too picky, we know what we want and just haven’t found it. You’re not lost, you’re just on a different path. Single, taken, married or divorced... You aren’t defined by the ring (or lack of) on your finger. You are amazing just as you are. (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnmO3ugHhN/?igshid=z5fp4vpczi29

My Top 3 Red Wines for Under $20

My Top 3 Red Wines for Under $20!

Most wine lovers go down the same path. We start with…. Yup, you guessed it Moscato. Then one day, the sweetness we once loved, we now wonder how it’s even labeled as a wine. Then, there is the switch from white to red. Most of us start at Pinot Noir and then eventually peak when we start drinking Cabernet, even in the summer.

Quick Tip: If you’re looking to transition from white to red,…

Why I'm Quitting Influencing

If you've wondered why I've been so silent...

I’d like to start out by saying NOTHING you’re about to read is negative towards Influencers/Bloggers/etc. I simply want to address why I’ve been so silent on social media and what’s next for fASHionately Me. Some of you have reached out during my silence, and that’s why it’s important for me to be honest with you.

When I first started my blog years ago it was for two reasons: I liked helping…

I actually did my makeup, so I wanted to document it. I linked some of my favorite current @ultabeauty finds and this @targetstyle outfit.

That moment you walk into a room with 80 beautiful women and it’s just one encouraging comment, moment and hug after the other. I often get intimated going to local events because I’m nervous I won’t measure up, but let me tell you the Indy influencer community is unlike any other. I’m so thankful I get to call these girls and so many others my friends. Thank you @bighairandfoodiefare for throwing an amazing event! •••••••• This skirt is from @shopsweetolive and you can use code Fashionately15 for 15% off!

This weekend was amazing. It was full of friends, family, sun and fast cars. But the joys of this weekend can’t over look what today is really about. Thank you to the men and women fighting every day so we can enjoy our freedoms. To those that gave the ultimate sacrifice and your families, you are all true heroes.

I was once bit by a spider on my bum and it literally left its fangs in me. Peter Parker became Spider-Man and I just got a large donk. Still waiting for my powers to fully develop. (at Carmel, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgRQIVAwS5/?igshid=lkfreb31sgek

There are two types of people in this world, coffee drinkers and non coffee drinkers. I don’t trust the latter. Which one are you? For all you coffee lovers, @GetGo now has organic, fair trade coffee at select stores. So basically GetGo coffee just got even better!

It’s easy to get caught in the comparison game, especially when you’re trying to turn your passion into a business. Going to @createcultivate was not only a sweet reminder that dreams are possible, but that there are so bad ass (female) entrepreneurs paving the way. If I could use one word to describe my experience it would be: motivating. To anyone who is trying to reach a goal of any level, keep on pushing!
