What’s more fun than styling looks for the holidays? Styling looks for the holidays with a friend! I was so excited when my girl Stephanie, (aka my Italian sistah from anotha mistah 😉), agreed to shoot a styling video with me! You may remember her from some of the sessions I styled for our friend Hattie’s jewelry line. She loves fashion as much as I do and we have similar taste – a lot of black, with edgy pieces & killer shoes. So for this video we decided to style 6 different looks using similar top & bottom combos, but wanted to show y’all how we put our own twist on each look. Watch below or on my IGTV channel!

CH2T Styling: How to Style a Graphic Tee

I don’t always wear t-shirts, but when I do, they’re graphic 😉 There’s just something about a cute tee with a catchy slogan or holiday theme, that makes me whip out my wallet faster than you can say “mom uniform.” It doesn’t help matters when your friend happens to own a custom t-shirt and embroidery shop, Landstaylor Designs, and taunts you with cute new styles on their FB page everyday. It’s ok girl, I’m not mad atcha 😉 As far as all the others I’ve acquired over the years? Most are a from a mix of Zara, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, or H&M and I’ve learned just how versatile they can be in your wardrobe. From layering over a dress, tucking into a pair of high-waisted jeans, or just throwing over a pair of leggings and adding a hat – I’m all about this look. 

Check out a video I just shot where I style each of my favorite ways to wear a graphic tee, and head on over to my IGTV channel to see more weekly styling videos!

How to Style an Animal Print Skirt for Fall

CH2T Styling: 4 Ways To Wear An Animal Print Skirt For Fall

Leave a comment

In case you haven’t noticed, animal prints are everywhere, and I mean e-ver-y-where. I held out for as long as I could, but once it hit the “suburban runways” and made it cool for us stay-at-home moms to rock a leopard print – you better believe I jumped on it like a kid on Christmas. But I’ve always been one to make a trend my own. Meaning – I don’t like to just go along with it just cuz it’s popular. Let’s just say – I draw the line at socks with heels. I also usually sit on a trend for a few months, sometimes even a year, to make sure it’s sticking around before I take the plunge. Even if it’s something I love right off the bat, like animal prints, I still feel the need to put my own “CH2T Styling” twist on it to make it truly feel like my own.

10 Ways I Met My Goal of “10K by May” on Instagram

16 Comments

I don’t know about you, but when I have a goal I want to hit, I always give it a catch phrase. Maybe it’s the marketer in me, but I just can’t help myself 😋 Which is how my slogan “10k by May” was born. About 6 months ago, right around the holidays, I was looking at my Instagram and realized I was so close to hitting 5k followers and thought it would be fun to set a goal to hit it by the end of the year. I ended up hitting it before Christmas, and it gave me the boost I needed to start setting goals for myself in the new year. The one goal that I’d always felt unattainable – was hitting that magic number “10k” on Instagram. Since I’ve never been one to give up easily, I started doing the math in my head and decided based on my exponential growth up to this point – that it was totally doable to hit “10k by May.” So here’s how I did it…

A couple months back I started sharing beauty and hair tutorials on my IGTV Channel which has been so fun, and I love hearing from people who’ve tried my techniques. Since this year my goal was to offer up more styling tips, and so many of my Instagram followers requested my next video be about styling – I launched my very first “CH2T Styling” video this week and I’m so so excited at the response it received! Now that the weather’s warming up, I decided to share “6 Easy Spring Looks” that has everything from casual everyday looks to fancier date night looks.

CH2T Styling: Day to Night Easter Spring Outfits for Moms

Is it just me, or is Easter like the sneakiest holiday ever? For Christmas, we start planning two and half years in advance. For Easter, it’s like, “Hey, I’m back! Hope you remembered to buy all the random things for your kid’s Easter party at school” (which the answer is of course, “No” 🤦‍♀️). However the one thing that seems to never slip my mind (must be the stylist in me), is shopping for the perfect Easter outfit for the kids and myself. Luckily, Cha Cha was easy cuz all her clothes are hand-me-downs, and really freaken cute ones too 😉 Garrett’s also pretty easy since he takes matters into his own hands, and already picked out the perfect spring plaid button-down that he’s been holding onto for over a month saying “I’m saving that one for Easter, mom.” 😂 So that just leaves me, and as luck would have it – I was able to partner with PinkBlush to style what I’m calling “Day to Night Easter Spring Outfits for Moms.” 😊

CH2T Styling: Hattie Now Designs x Adelaide’s Boutique

9 Comments

Spring is here!! I honestly can’t believe it. I don’t know about you, but I was beginning to doubt that it would ever come. In fact, I’d been planning to write this post for weeks now, but kept putting it off because 1) Houston weather is sucha tease, and 2) I was afraid by writing this it would jinx any nice weather we’d had 😉 But we’ve consistently had a week’s worth of sunshine, so I figured what better way to officially kick off spring than sharing one of my favorite styling collabs I’ve done with my talented friend and jewelry designer Hattie of Hattie Now Designs.

CH2T Styling: 4 Unconventional Styling Tips for Valentine’s Day

Have you ever wondered where old school fashion rules came from? Or is that just something I geek out over? It truly is so interesting to me, and what’s the most interesting is just how much influence our culture and the times has on how we dress. I could literally go on and on for days about this topic but I’ll save that for another day. 😉 Since what I really wanted to touch on, is something I’ve struggled with for years…wearing pink. Phew. There, I said it. Don’t worry – I’m not about to unload a bunch of feminist rhetoric on you, hehe, it’s really just a personal thing. I’d much rather wear black, gray, white, and sometimes the occasional blue. But here’s my problem – two words. Valentine’s Day.

Cammeo HEAD TO TOE: 2018 Year in Review

12 Comments

How is it that another year is gone, just like that? I mean, 2018 feels like it didn’t even happen. For some reason – what should feel like a year went by, really only feels like a solid 6 months max. It’s like I woke up one day after Christmas, like woah, 2019 is just around the corner. Maybe it’s because so much happened last year. And maybe that’s why this year I was excited to actually get my hiney up off the couch and ring in the new year right – like we used to, before kids 😉
