fashion and beauty

March 8, 2023

Bold blooms full of fun + color = that’s the statement story that got my creative juices flowing when it came to collaborating on my newest collection with Shop Avara!

You know my closet is always perfectly suited for spring = my favorite season for sure, especially when it comes to neon lights, stellar sets, divine details to make your ensemble shine, and of course the added accessories for a little more flair! It’s officially time to whip out your big spring energy and do your thing spring… the overall ease of every item in this collection is what makes it super special and I have no doubt you’ll find the perfect place to sport these pretty new pieces all season long.

As always, be sure to shop fast as inventory for this capsule is extremely limited and due to manufacturing and crazy supply chain issues, once it’s gone it’s gone for good!
