Can I tell you a secret? I used to think about breaking my own nose, so that ~maybe~ my mom would let me get a nose job 🙊🙊 I was bullied in school, and called birdwoman because my nose is a bit sharper than “normal” and I H A T E D I T. . But now? No way! It’s one of the things that makes me unique, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything! So go ahead, call me birdwoman, you don’t see peacocks trying to change their feathers 🦚😉 . What’s something that makes you unique? I want to hear it! 👇🏻👇🏻
Monday morning vs Friday afternoon mood 🤪 Who else is ready to step into the weekend!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️
Is there a leopard on the carousel? Because if so, dibs 🐆🐆🐆 . It takes a village to get fun shots like these, and I’m lucky to have friends like @justcallmeesophia who are always down to look like weirdos in public 😂👯‍♀️
I don’t think I’ve eaten anything but seafood the past few days, and I’m not mad about it 🦀🐟🦐🦑 Till next time Boston ⚓️
✌🏻Out NYC! I’m headed up to Boston for 4th of July weekend to spend it sailing and spritzing! ⛵️🍹What are your plans for the 4th??
I fully plan on getting the Brooklyn Bridge tattooed on my torso, sorry mom 😜😜 #brooklynbaby

So much to smile about 💛 Normally I wouldn’t consider this photo ‘gram-worthy, but it perfectly shows how I feel right now ✨ . I am so blessed to have a job I love, amazing friends, a loving family, live in the best city on earth, and I get to pursue my dreams both 9-5 and 5-9 ✨ (other side-hustlers will get that reference 😉) I wake up every day genuinely excited for what the day will bring 💛 . What’s one thing that made you smile this week? . . Also shoutout to @wdpedersen for acting like a goofball an capturing my “real smile” instead of my “photo smile” 😂
I have something really important to say. Today I saw a clear example of the type of influencer I NEVER want to be. I never want to betray your trust, I never want to be dishonest, and I never want to be in this for the money. (Go to my Stories if you haven’t seen yet) . I started this blog 4 years ago because I lived in a small town in Texas, and needed an outlet for my love of fashion and beauty. It has brought me so much joy, and it continues to daily. . I have met some of my closest friends because of it, and had amazing opportunities to travel and work with brands that I adore (when @teenvogue and @urbandecaycosmetics said they wanted to fly me to LA, I screamed out loud and called my mom immediately) That’s only the highlights. Every single day I get to share with a community that loves fashion and beauty as much as I do, and that means the world to me. YOU mean the world to me. . I am beyond thankful for your support, and I promise to always be honest, always be 100% myself, and to NEVER put a paycheck above your trust in me. .

Keep your head, heels, and standards high ✨✨ Shoes are my #1 shopping vice, but nothing makes me feel more confident than a killer pair of heels 👠👠 Do you have a wardrobe item that makes you feel confident??
