We are moving into the busiest season of the year, We are moving into the busiest season of the year, so how are you posting on all of your platforms without losing your mind?

Most people feel like they have to be everywhere, and they think that means a brand-new idea for every platform. That is how burnout gets built into the plan, and burnout is the reason people stop posting right when it matters most.

My goal is always for you to do less so content does not take over your life. You do not need more ideas, you need to stretch the ones you already have.

Start with one idea instead of one platform. It could be a how-to, a tip, a product you love, or an event you just went to. Build the full version first as a blog post or a newsletter section, with all the details and links. While you are creating it, grab a few photos and record a short video, because that one session gives you what you need for everything else. The video can go to TikTok, a reel or carousel can go to Instagram and Facebook, and Pinterest can get a pin with a little information that links back to your blog.

Just remember that posting the exact same file everywhere is not repurposing. Change the hook, the format, and the caption to fit where it lives, and the idea stays the same while the packaging changes.

More platforms does not have to mean more work. Pick one thing you already created this week and decide where else it can live.

Save this for the week you feel behind on content, and follow along for more digital strategy every Tuesday.

Essentials for Spring

We have one more month of winter to go and we are officially in the months of Spring!  The stores have been pretty bare the last few weeks.  Basically it has been Mardi Gras shopping or nothing.  I have been dreaming of the shelves lined with light and airy fabrics and pinks and blues for miles…

There are always your stand our trends for spring.  This year you are going to see a lot of rosy pinks, dusty blues and bright reds.  Patterns will again be floral and an introduction of polka dots.  I am still pulling for some spring textiles because the leather, lace and jacquards of winter need to be replaced with something.  But no matter how many trends come out each year you are always going to need your staple items for spring.

A good white jean, circle skirt, platform sandal and bucket bag are some of the must have items I am searching for this year.  I have my spring staples from last year but I am looking to replace a few.  With the items below you could build almost any wardrobe you want.  So if you are looking to expand or change your wardrobe this is where I recommend you start.

Romper.

This is a great option to exchange with a dress.  This particular romper is bright and fun and would work with sandals, flats or a heel.  Rompers are an essential for me.

Circle Skirt.

No one does a circle skirt better than Modcloth.  These are perfect for pairing with a lace tank for a night out, a bow blouse for work or a tee for the weekends.  Endless possibilities.

White Tee.

Every single person needs two of these.  One short sleeve and one long sleeve.  Every season buy a new one.  These are the most essential essential.

White Jeans.

A good white jean will work for you now through the fall.  We owe the spring and summer a pair of white jeans.  It’s like our duty to wear them.  These jeans were Paxton’s pick.

Sunglasses.

I have a bit of a sunglasses issue.  I guess we should call it an addiction.  Seriously.  These caught my eye when I was perusing the Nordstrom website.  Something about these lenses are just amazing.

Bucket Bag.

Something about the spring and summer make me want a big bag!  I think it’s because I know I can throw a pair of sunglasses and a towel in there and be at the pool in twenty.  It’s the perfect size for anything and everything we are going to do.

Polka Dots.

Polka dots are life.  I know they are a trend for this year but I have been crushing on them forever.  I love a pattern and a polka dot should have their moment in the spring!

Midi Dress.

Midi dresses have been going strong for the last few season.  I know a lot of people who have VERY strong opinions about them but personally I love the hemline.  This particular dress is very flattering and a little sexy.  The tied waist is going to make you look small in all the right places.

 

Flats.

You need a cure pair of neutral close toed flats for spring.  They will last you well through the next year and they are the best shoe for days that start and end chilly with warm afternoons.

Platforms.

You need these.  I need these.  We all need these.

Mini Dress.

You have your longer hemmed dress so now you need a short option.  This dress with the little sleeves is perfection for the spring.

Get ready for the warm weather and fun months ahead.  This is a great way to get a start on your spring wardrobe!

XO, Tippy

Welcome to Halloween week. We have so many fun thi Welcome to Halloween week. We have so many fun things planned. #halloween #halloqueen #meangirls
I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have a list of costumes on my phone that I’ve been filtering through each year and Carrie was top. I knew I wanted this to be beaded and that would require a lot of time so i waited for a year I knew I had time to commit. 

So, rewind to July. Yes, July. I got the dress and took it to my backyard where I poured acrylic paint and water on it while standing on a ladder to make the splatter look right. @fusilierkate came over for a rhinestone consultation so I could visualize a plan. I distinctly remember her saying, you aren’t going to rhinestone all the way to the bottom, right?  And at the time that sounded like a crazy idea…. 

I laid 8,000 individual rhinestones. 

But my commitment to the plot is unmatched and since I had time I beaded the whole thing in ss20 Siam rhinestones. I used a few appliqués, mesh loaded with stones to fill larger spaces, just to make the workload a little lighter and to add some visual difference in the pattern. Remember we wanted this to look like dried blood so it needed texture and angles so it didn’t just look like a pretty dress. 

I also went back and forth about the headpiece. Initially I thought I was going to do a bucket suspended above my head but I saw a lot of reference photos with that already so I went a different direction with the tiara and veil. Again texture and layers. 

Last came the bucket. I had to free hand the blood with a sharpie. An artist I am not so this was probably the most difficult part. I lined it with tulle and strings of rhinestones so I could dump in on my head during the costume content. #preformanceart 

Overall I could not be happier with how it turned out. She will be available for rent when I fix a few minor pieces I broke off Friday night. Let me know if you would be interested. 

PS thank you to @30byninety theater for allowing me to use their Zombie Prom set as the background for my shoot. It was perfection. As always @skylarkuhn_ @skylartheriotphotography gave me some beautifully shot images. 

Already working on my next idea.
