Falling into Fashion with Oakleigh Rose

Good Thursday Morning!!

Okay so this morning, we are going to Talk about the Sparkle aspect of my life. In the beginning of the year, I really wanted to focus on my attire. How I dressed, my accessories, putting myself together. I have always been someone who just goes to the beat of their own drum, but my fashion sense, has not always been the same way.

I am a plain Jane kind of girl. One who wears things that are comfortable, but then I also love a little extra too. I know, it doesn't seem to make sense but it does. It wasn't until around College that I really started to love clothes and dressing up, etc. In College, I worked at Aeropostale for almost 3 years. I LOVED that job. Seriously, it had me falling in love with retail and that was the job I realized I was really good at selling, but I also found out I really loved clothes!

Working at Aero, you got a crazy awesome discount. I mean crazy awesome and considering that the  clothes were inexpensive to begin with, made it even better. And that was also the time of the layering craze. Come on, I know you know, wearing a tank top, with two polos underneath to pop the collar, long necklaces, so on and so forth. Yup, I had it all.

So my sense of style evolved over the years and then working in my current job, our dress code is black, white or grey and sometimes a pop of a different color. It is hard to get motivated to dress with those colors, but believe me I make it work. But this year as I went into my 30th year, I vowed to really branch out my style a bit more and dress a bit better. Get back to the fun and funky, but still plain and casual look that is all me. And not just sit around in yoga pants on my day off, dress up a bit.

So when I was asked to be a Brand Rep for Oakleigh Rose for 8 weeks, I was freaking thrilled. I LOVE their clothes...

Here is a little bit of their history, Meaghan and Annette are a mom and daughter duo, who are the absolute cutest...

"In our online boutique, we bring you trendy and comfy clothing and accessories we handpick with you in mind. We’re making online shopping personal, fun and exciting. And we’re all about pulling out every stop when it comes to customer service." 
I mean seriously who else could you ask for in a store. And I absolutely love their customer service. You would never think that you were ordering from online and the shipping is FREE. And comes super fast. I literally have been ordering items like every week. It is insane. The quality of the clothes are fantastic!!!







This is there VISION IN WHITE top. This shirt blew me away. The bell sleeves and sheer fabric were amazing and the detail on the front was not at all what I expected.



Maxi dresses with sleeves are my new favorite items!! They are comfortable and can be worn well into the Fall when you pair it with boots and a jean jacket. Living in Florida, I know I will be wearing this a lot!!

And if you like this Dress you have to check out their FALL COLLECTION and see this Dress...Feeling ( Navy) Blue Dress. Polka DOTS AND stripes!!! Hello!!!

Speaking of their Fall Collection, I got this Tunic which I am so happy I purchased...



The Fall Layers Tunic in Black. It fights amazing and beyond comfortable... and can be worn in so many different ways...also available in WHITE

What I love is it is clothes also I can wear to work and give myself a little bit more spice than the typical Black and White...




Like the Straight Lines Tunic Cardi, which I also purchased and the Pretty in Plaid Dress






Make sure you check out the website and Fall in Love with their Fall Collection and order some stuff for yourself. On your first Order use my code RCSPARKLE20 and get 20% off!!!!

I promise you, you will love the clothes, the fashion everything. And if you have any questions on sizing, reach out to the ladies, they have amazing taste and insight and would be willing to always help you!!!

I just ordered another shirt today! My fashion sense is back up thanks to Oakleigh Rose!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
