FALL BRANDING PHOTOSHOOT AT CT PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO

Happy Fall! Last month, I set up a Fall photoshoot for my online store, Spotted Rose Boutique. I did a ton of research to find a good spot to do a shoot and a 3D virtual walkthrough of the space. I came across this beautiful barn and had to immediately reserve my spot. I wanted a rustic modern barn feel for Fall and my models would try on different outfits of my latest collection. The place was called Connecticut Photography Studio located in Killingworth, CT.

I STARTED MY ONLINE FASHION BOUTIQUE DURING THE PANDEMIC + LAUNCH PARTY EVENT

Hi All, I’ve been so MIA on here and that’s because I’ve been so busy focusing on other things that I’m so excited to share with you. I had intended to write this blog post for some time now, but somehow my mind would drift in another direction and I’d forget…eek! As most of you know, I’ve been a fashion and lifestyle Influencer for about 6 years now. I’ve always had a passion for fashionable clothing and love planning outfits. I’m the type of girl that stresses out about picking out an outfit for an…

OVERNIGHT STAY AT THE INN AT STONINGTON

Happy Sunday Babes! Are you all pumped for the holidays? If you noticed on my blog, I’ve put a ton of holiday guides up to help you shop this holiday season. Last week, I took a week off from work to catch up on things and enjoy my time off. I went up to Stonington, CT for the night for the overall experience and it was the most relaxing stay.

DAY TRIP TO SPOOKY SALEM, MASS

Happy November 1st everyone! How was everyone’s Halloween this year? I went to a Halloween party and it was such a blast! I went to Salem Mass, for the first time ever at the beginning of October. Most of the historical spots and museums were booked which was a bummer but that didn’t stop us from going! Our day consisted of shopping, checking out food spots, and taking photos while coming across popular movie homes.

LABOR DAY TRIP TO PORT JEFF

One of the days on Labor Day Weekend, I decided to go on a day trip to Port Jeff in Long Island, NY! I’ve never been before but the ferry leaves from Bridgeport, CT to Port Jeff which was only about a 45-55 min Ferry ride, not bad at all! I loved that the ferry was huge and when you get on top, there’s so many seats, making it super spacious and the views were amazing.

DIY FLORAL TRAY WITH BOARDANDBRUSH

Hi everyone! I hope you’re taking the time to focus on you and your goals and trying out new things. This Summer, I went to BoardandBrush in Danbury, CT, a creative studio where you can make custom DIY wood pieces. It reminded me of those paint & sip studios where you paint a canvas and sip on drinks. There were so many options to choose from but I decided to go with the modern floral tray since I can use it for so many different things.

DAY TRIP TO BLOCK ISLAND + UPSTATE CT EXCURSIONS

Hi All! Since travel is restricted due to the pandemic I wanted to go on a weekend getaway to escape from reality and spend as much time enjoying the last bits of summer being on the beach somewhere. I went to Block Island in Rhode Island, my first time being there which was exciting and a relaxing weekend for sure! The hotels on the Island were pretty expensive especially this time of the year so we decided to do a day trip on the island and then spend the other days in upstate CT. Keep…

SUMMERTIME FAVORITE DRINK WITH SOCIAL SPARKLING WINE

Happy weekend friends! I want to introduce you to a new drink called Social Sparkling wine. It’s the perfect taste for summer, it’s a light, refreshing wine in a can without all the harsh sugars. It’s only 88 calories a can and it’s gluten+sulfite free. Oh, did I mention that it’s also 1g of sugar and only 4g of carb? Now that’s what I’m talking about. I came across the brand on Instagram and had to reach out as it was right up my alley!

MOTHER’S DAY ACTIVITIES WHILE QUARANTINED + DIY IDEAS

It’s crazy that a couple of months ago the world was in a different place, with no Covid-19. We were able to gather in large crowds, socialize with drinks in our hands, and spend time with loved ones. Fast-forwarding to now – adjusting to the new norm and practicing social distancing. It’s a very strange time not being able to do the things we love – shopping, nails done, connecting with friends, going to the gym, traveling, etc. Is it me or have these days flew by? Being quarantined has really kept me busy and…
