The Mini Genevieve Bucket Bag

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so excited to share my 4th design collaboration with GiGi New York on the blog today. I specifically designed the mini Genevieve Bucket Bag with Gigi New York to use during my trip through France this fall. I wanted something chic and stylish while still convenient, versatile and practical. The Genevieve is all of that in one. She’s the perfect size to wear as a small crossbody, but still big enough to fit all of your essentials. She is also right on trend this season with her boho silhouette and leopard print calf hair. And not only can the Genevieve be worn multiple ways with her adjustable handles and removable crossbody strap, but she also goes with an endless array of styles and day to night outfits. From New Orleans to New York to Paris and back, the Genevieve will travel with you anywhere.

Our Saturday Morning Tradition

Happy Friday everyone, Blake and I are gearing up for National Coffee Day tomorrow with Jockey by serving up some serious blueberry pancakes. One of our favorite Saturday morning traditions is making breakfast together. I’m usually in charge of the coffee because I tend to burn everything on the stove or in the oven, but I also help with the little things too…like taking the blueberries out of the fridge. LOL

Jenn’s Look: Signature Modern Mix Bralette & Signature Modern Mix Boxer c/o Jockey

We usually get up pretty early to make breakfast and lounge around the house in our pajamas before getting dressed for the day. I love wearing my Jockey Signature Modern Mix boxers paired with a bralette under my robe or cardigan. I have them in a  bunch of different colors that I mix and match with each other. I even have a few of the cropped tees in different colors that I love wearing around the house.

 Blake just wears a pair of boxers with a comfy tee. We recently got him some of the new Jockey Cotton Modal Stretch Boxer Brief and cotton crewneck t-shirts, which he loves wearing because he says they’re super comfortable. The boxers also come in a bunch of different color packs too.

All our black white dishes are from MacKenzie-Childs.

Fall Floral Maxi Dress Under $15

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I’ve teamed up with Walmart to share some fall florals with you. If you live down south like myself, then you know that even though the month says it’s fall, it doesn’t actually feel like fall, which means boots and sweaters aren’t currently happening for us. Fortunately, I found this super cute floral romper dress that you can actually wear right now and enjoy in this weather. Now if you live up north where it’s a bit cooler, you can still wear this romper maxi dress with a suede moto jacket and some ankle booties.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled this fall floral maxi dress for under $15, which by the way when you see a cute dress for under $15, you buy it in every print. Who’s with me?! I got the size medium because it’s technically from the juniors department so it runs a little smaller. I’m only 5 ft so this one is for all my petite girls out there!

28 Fun Facts About Me!

Happy Friday everyone and Happy Birthday to me! In honor of turning 28 today, I thought it would be fun to share 28 fun facts about myself. I’ll also be sharing more details about these facts on my Instagram stories this weekend. But first, I have to thank Sucre in New Orleans for making me the most beautiful macaron cake I’ve ever seen. And would you believe if I said that it tasted even better than it looked? Because it did!

28 Fun Facts About Me:

  1. I’m Filipino and Italian. My mom is full Italian and my dad is full Filipino.

2) My husband, Blake and I have been together since high school so we’re currently going on 13 years! Crazy, right?

3) I interned in Disney World when I was junior in college. I wanted to be a princess (Jasmine or Pocahontas), but I was “too short” so I ended up taking out at the trash at Peco’s Bill in Magic Kingdom for four months of my life instead. Let’s just say I don’t consider Disney World to be the most magical place on earth anymore. LOL

4) I’m always hungry and never turn down Chick-fil-a.

5) My personal blog interview was published in the LiketoKnow.it coffee table book this past month. See here—>Stories From The Influencer Next Door

6) I casually host dance parties and perform impromptu musicals for my husband all the time even when doesn’t ask me to, which by the way….he never asks me to! LOL

7) When I was little I wanted to be an actor and singer. I actually still dream about it.

8) I auditioned for the tv show Glee when I was in college. Obviously, they didn’t cast me, but we all know they’re clearly missing out. 😉

9) I have zero concept of time all thanks to my mother who made me late for everything growing up, but I’m working on it. I always set my clocks 10 minutes ahead to try and help.

10) I hate scary movies and can’t even watch the previews. When Blake and I go to the movies, I wait outside of the theatre until the previews over and then he calls me in. That’s how big of a baby I am!

11) When I started my blog, I barely knew how to use a computer! Now I run my own website.

12) I went to LSU for 5 years, but never graduated because my blog started bringing more opportunities than school did. However, I can always go back one day! Maybe.

13) I never let Blake and I go to bed mad at each other.

14) I love hot coffee in the morning, which I put in the microwave at least five times before finishing it.

15) Some of my favorite shows include: Friends, The Office, Modern Family and This Is Us

16) While I love brunch, it also stresses me out because I hate skipping lunch. LOL I love all meals though and the thought of skipping one gives me anxiety.

17) I’m a notorious overpacker, yet I never even get around to wearing even half of the things I packed.

18) I am the most positive person you will ever meet. My glass is always half full!

 I thought I knew 28 fun facts about myself, but now I’m running out of things to say so I’m going to let Blake take over. This should be interesting…

8 more things you don’t know about me (written by Blake):

19) Jenn is a terrible driver. Do not get in the car with her or ask her for directions unless you’re looking for the nearest Chick-fil-a.

20) She used to only watch the Disney channel until I recently converted her to Netflix this past year.

21) Jenn doesn’t know how to cook, but she always knows how to make me laugh. She has the best sense of humor and always knows how to laugh at herself.

22) We almost didn’t get to go on our first date because she was in trouble for leaving the garage door open.

23) Her meal was only $4 on our first date. Clearly that was a trick. Let’s just say it’s never been under $4 since!

24) She has made me multiple scrapbooks over the years “that I read everyday because I love them!” 😉

25) She’ll always make you feel like the smartest person in the room…;)

26) Every morning when I bring her coffee in bed, she says “bring me my robes!” like she’s the queen of the house or something. LOL! She also requests a pair of socks her feet are always cold.

27) She dances around the house way more than y’all witness on Instagram stories.

28) She is literally the most annoying person I know, but I can’t imagine anyone else more annoying that I would rather spend the rest of my life with! Happy Birthday Jenn! I love you!
