let’s talk favorites
I am so excited to be popping on and sharing some of my go - to favorites right now. this is going to range from fashion to podcasts and every thing in between!
I thought it would be so fun to simply share what I am loving and giving a bit of updating on my life!
let's kick it off!
FASHION FAVORITES
I was recently asked in a meeting what my most valuable styling tip
is -- instantly BASICS popped in my head.
A girl can never go wrong with basics.
they simply become staples in your wardrobe and can be
styled in a thousand different ways. when I purchase my basics,
I try to make it a goal of styling it a different way each time I dress it.
speaking of basics -- I love this hoodie that I just purchased from Target
The brand is A NEW DAY & I am wearing a small.
It is the perfect piece to mix n' match
-- here are some examples --
pair it with joggers & sneakers for a casual day
boots, gold hoops, & denim for a night out
leggings, denim jacket, & sneakers for brunch
a mini skirt and a chunky gold necklace for lunch
the options are endless.
speaking of basics, I also wanted to pop in a pair of my new favorite denim.
I couldn't get enough of the Abercrombie Curve Love
shorts this Summer, so I had to grab the denim for Fall!
they do run a bit big, I got a size 4 and
could of definitely sized down, but they are so
cute & perfect to style both up or down.
-- for example --
pair it with a black body suit & booties for GNO
pair it with a hoodie & sneakers for shopping
grab a chunky sweater and mules for dinner
one last fashion item to share with you that
I am loving & it is these snake
print boots from Target.
talk about sassy -- right?
they make me feel as if I should be
dancing along side J. Lo or Beyonce
on stage & I am loving it!
they are so fun styled with denim and
sweaters for the Fall. I also have paired them with
my hoodie & gold jewelry for a more relaxed day.
BOOKS & PODCASTS
ahh y'all -- I am so excited to be sharing some of
my new favorite books & podcasts.
in one of my first blog posts written, I mentioned
some of my favorite podcasts, but I want to add a few
more the list that have made their way into my weekly listening.
#1 Happy Hour w/ Gretchen Geraghty
she is my all time favorite & I have been watching her since she first started YouTube long ago. Y'all if I had to choose one famous person to be friends with -- she would be my girl! seriously the most down to earth and transparent person.
#2 ILOVEYOUSOMUCH w/ Kenzie Elizabeth
ironic that we have the same name -- huh? love this podcast. like Gretchen, she covers all things life, love, advice, and more! They both have had some really great guests recently & I truly find that there are topics for many people!
#3 WHOA That's Good Podcast w/ Sadie Robertson
Sadie is just sunshine on earth -- there is something so soothing about listening to her talk. some days it seems as if she is speaking directly from her heart to you. she is my go - to gal for faith podcasts and really just starts the day off in the right direction.
#4 Real Pod - Victoria Garrick
we live in a culture that is so unbelievably media based. it is so easy to feel alone in your struggles & to compare yourself to others. Victoria is amazing -- she is so transparent when it comes to her past struggles & truly brings in the best guests to help you know that you are not alone.
#5 The Rachel Hollis Podcast
most of us know who Rachel Hollis is & if you do not -- I recommend getting to know her right now. She is the mastermind when it comes to business & is such a bright light when it comes to being your coach through life.
I wanted to share these podcasts with you because they truly help me start each day off with the right mindset. I know that I am not alone in the struggles that I go through & these girls all make each low moment a little bit higher. They create communities that have room for every one & they make it a priority to include content that hits all aspects of interest.
ALL THINGS BOOKS
I have always loved reading -- it helped me take my mind
off things that were cramming it and allowed
me to relax for a little while.
when I first read Girl, Wash Your Face -- by Rachel Hollis.
I was in awe of how much I not only related, but
also learned while reading.
I loved the book so much that I have
now read her next two!
I wanted to pop in & share the names with
you so that you can too!
GIRL, STOP APOLOGIZING
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING
as I mentioned with her podcast -- she is the life coach that you never knew you needed.
SKINCARE & ACCESSORIES
if you take a look at my skincare blog from a few
month's ago you know that I love Clinique.
I purchased the
Clinique Dramatically Different BB - Gel
I LOVE IT!
I have never been a huge fan of wearing foundation
due to the heaviness on my face & y'all let me tell you this
feels just like lotion and creates the perfect layer!
HAIR & JEWELRY
I know many of you have probably seen the hair
twist trend, but I wanted to mention
it today because I love it.
it is the perfect go - to casual
hair style & you can grab
the clips for only $5 at Target.
I have also been loving scrunchies!
they are so fun for low
buns or high pony tails as you
can see in an earlier picture!
finally, as always I have to add earrings and a fun necklace.
here are some I have recently purchased.
as always -- thank you so much for
catching up with me & I hope you have
found some favorites this time around!
please be sure to my follow my Instagram @girlyouthisblog
reach out -- I love connecting & want to hear your ideas!
have the best weekend!
XO,
KENZ
