Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply doesn’t know where to go shopping 😉 Happy Thursday, friends! Hope you’re all having a great week! I’m styling my new favorite Burberry jacket from @orderluxe - I’m obsessed with the color and fit! A few weeks ago on stories, I asked you all if I should get the nude or red jacket and the majority of you voted nude but something was pulling me towards the red and I’m so glad I ended up with that! Adds a nice pop of color to any fit! It’s essential to treat yourselves some time, right?!✨ If you’re ever looking for a good luxe deal, @orderluxe is your girl! (Also my sister 🙃) who has been my very own personal shopper since my first paycheck lol (let’s not do the math). 😬 ———— 📸: @timelinedcphoto

Spring has sprung(ish)🌸 Happy Monday, friends!! The sun is out but Mother Nature is still messing with us with these inconsistent temps! But whatever, I’ll take it - better than 40 degrees!! Old town is gorgeous right now with blooms left and right! 🌸 I’m styling this @petalandpup denim dress two of my favorite ways: 1🌸 Sandal block heels with hair down for an elevated casual look 2🌸 Sneakers with hair up for a full-on casual chic look! Which way would you wear it?! I could prob style with some white boots or knee-high nude boots! I’m always here for the versatility! ——— 📸: @timelinedcphoto

There is power in kindness❤️ Happy Wednesday, friends! We made it halfway through this week! It’s been a busy March on my end, but I think I needed a busy distraction so it works out…. For now😅 Let’s talk about this bizarre weather and how it was 75 and beautiful last week and now windy and 50s this week?! I started organizing my spring dresses last week but now I’m like….. why?! It could snow tomorrow and I shouldn’t be surprised 🙄 What’s the weather like where you are? ——————- 📸: @timelinedcphoto

Planta Queen 🌱 Are you looking for an all Vegan restaurant that isn’t causal dining but elevated and delicious?! @planta is IT! I was honestly so surprised at how tasty everything was! I would have ever guessed any of it was vegan had I blindly taken a bite! From presentation, to drinks, and ambiance — this is a 10/10 in my book 🌱

Spring florals 🌺 Bringing this @petalandpup floral maxi back to the feed because these temps are telling me to pack away my winter clothes!! 🌺 The weather has been gorgeous all week!! I’m really hoping it sticks! I guess the groundhog was finally right for once! It’s wild how much of a difference the weather makes for my mental space! Does the weather impact your mood and mental state too?! All smiles this week🙃

Chic happens ✨ #HappyMonday , friends! Hope you all had a good weekend! This time change is ruining my life, lol.

How is your week looking? I hope it’s productive and filled with caffeine 😜 PS: I shared this romper on stories over the weekend and It’s on major sale!

Come with me for a day at one of my favorite VA Spas: Balian Springs 🧖🏽‍♀️ You would never guess this place is right in the heart of Alexandria! You literally feel like you’re in Bali with the essence of vibe of this place. It’s one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. @baliansprings has 8 saunas, multiple lounges, heated pools, a cafe with so much variety, and a rooftop infinity pool (which is where I spend most of my time) and so much more! Balian Spring is the definition of wellness 🍃 I like to make a trip to the Spa at least once every two months because my body needs it. I’ve been here solo and friends and I always leave super relaxed and get the best sleep that night! If you’re in need of a self care day —- this is your sign to head to @baliansprings for a rejevating and relaxing experience!🍃

Grab your girls and get pampered at @paintarlington 💅🏽 Had a girls night at Paint Nail Bar with some of my favorite local influencers. Had a fab time getting manis + pedis! At PAINT, they believe in promoting the healthy and integrity of your natural nail which is why I always return! They use non-toxic polish - I’m a HUGE fan of their dazzle dry variety. Got my pedi done three weeks again and we are still going strong! Highly recommend @paintarlington if you’re looking for a clean life salon that has great service! 10/10⭐️

Energy speaks louder than words⚡️ Happy new week, friends! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I got to catch up with some friends and finally got my hair done - always in the mood for a hair refresh at the start of spring or summer! I have an action packed week this week, but I’ve mentally prepared myself for it ahead of time so I should be good to go! Lol. How is March looking for you?! Busy? Calm? Hope it’s a good balance of allll the things 😉 PS: This set is one of my recent faves from @petalandpup - use code ‘GETAWAY20’ for 20% off your next order via my LTK🫶🏽 ——— 📸: @timelinedcphoto

There’s always a reason to smile - find it🙃 Hi, friends! It’s been a long week over here and I am ready to relax this weekend! I feel like there haven’t been enough hours in the day. Tomorrow is March 1st - no clue where January and February went. Time always flies by way too fast — when you’re having fun, right?! Work hasn’t felt fun but I’ll go with it 😂 Heading into spring and hopefully warmer temps!! Have you started spring shopping/cleaning?! 🌸 ———- 📸: @timelinedcphoto

Happy Monday❤️ The temps reach 60 by noon in the DMV and there is no better way to start a new week than with warmer weather and sunshine! How was your weekend? I think I’m still recovering from mine lol but one more day of rest and I’ll be back to it. This weekend was a reminder that my youth is dead and I can’t hang like I used to 😂 - but had a great time celebrating a good friend! Hope you all have a productive week ahead! ————— 📸: @timelinedcphoto

Get lost in a world made of books, coffee, and rainy days. ☔️ Happy Friday, friends! It’s rainy and gloomy in the DMV today, but I actually don’t mind it. I feel like the rain is a reminder for me to slow down and chill OUT. When it rains, I just want to curl up with a good book or show - so I’m looking forward to doing that later tonight 🥰 (I mean AFTER an event lol🤦🏽‍♀️) Also made the most of the rain during this shoot with @timelinedcphoto who is literally prepared for any weather condition!!🙌🏽 We’ve done it all — rain, snow, high winds, and sunshine! What do you have in store for you this weekend?! ————- 📸: @timelinedcphoto
