When I look at someone’s Instagram page for the fi When I look at someone’s Instagram page for the first time I always go straight to the highlights.

And I see one of two things. Either there are no highlights at all or there are highlights that have no real strategy behind them. Random collections, no covers, content that has nothing to do with the brand.

Your highlights are one of the first things a new visitor sees when they land on your page. They are prime real estate and most people are leaving them empty or underutilized.

Here is what your highlights should be doing for you:

-Saving content you want to live on your page longer than 24 hours
-Telling a first time visitor exactly who you are and what you do
-Organized collections that make sense — new listings, services, events, try ons
-Branded covers that make your page look polished and intentional

Every industry is different. A real estate agent should be highlighting new listings and community content. A medical practice should highlight services and testimonials. A boutique should highlight new arrivals and in store events.

And once a year go through all of them. Remove what is outdated. Keep what still reflects your brand.
Your highlights should always represent where your brand is right now.

Most people look at their Instagram insights. Not Most people look at their Instagram insights.
Not everyone knows what they are actually looking at.

I see it all the time when I sit down with clients. They know their numbers are there. They just are not sure what to do with them. So let’s fix that.

Your Instagram insights are broken down into two categories. Post insights show you how one specific piece of content performed. Account insights show you how your overall strategy is performing over time. Both matter and they answer different questions.

Here is what to pay attention to on every post:

-Views — your highest number, counts every time your content was seen including multiple views from the same account
-Reach — the number of unique accounts that saw your content, watch how much is coming from non followers
-Engagement — likes, comments, saves, and shares. Saves and shares are the most valuable
-Profile Visits — how many people were curious enough to go look at your page after seeing your content
-Follows — which posts are actually convincing people to stick around
-Audience Details — who is seeing your content and when they are most active

Here is the thing. High views with low engagement means your content is being seen but not connecting. High profile visits with low follows means something is off on your page. Go check your bio and your pinned posts.

Holiday Dressing Guide · October 12, 2018

It’s Never Too Early For Holiday Shopping

When I started thinking about writing this post I wondered if it was too early.  But then I started looking back on my old content calendars and realized that I was posting about holiday in the beginning of October so here we go.  The truth is there some great sales going on now so it is never too early for holiday shopping

The holiday party season is going to kick off in a little more than a month.  I know we have our first event scheduled on November 24th.  Some stores are using this time to sell remaining merchandise they had left from last year but many stores are already receiving holiday pieces.  It’s crazy how this year has just flown by.

My holiday shopping list is this…

  1. a splurge piece for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
  2. 2 to 3 pieces that can be interchangeable with each other or with things I already own.
  3. a casual tee or leggings or something fun for casual event.

With that in mind these are a few of the things I have my eye on right now. {This post contains affiliate links}

This J.Crew Velvet skirt is one of my favorite picks for holiday.  Currently it is on sale on jcrew.com and Nordstrom.  This skirt would look fantastic with a blouse or sweater but you could also pair it with a tshirt for a more casual event.  I also love the waist of the skirt and the length.

Black  //  Vintage Gold  //  Gentle Sea

Tops I would pair it with:

White Tee  //  White Lace Crop Top  //  Faux Wrap Sweater

 

 

These pants are a great wear now and wear later piece.  On sale this week at Nordstrom.  These pants would be an easy piece to make a fantastic outfit with.  Black pants are always a good piece to have in your wardrobe but this fit is very on trend this season.  I like that they are also high wasted so you can wear them with the shorter length tops (crop tops) that are popular currently.

Black Pants 

What I would wear it with:

Tiffany Asymmetrical Blouse  //  Tie Front Faux Wrap Top  //  Topshop Asymmetrical Twist Top

 

This jumpsuit would be a great addition to your winter wardrobe.  I love the wrap top and puff sleeve.  The deep navy is such a rich looking color and this could really carry you from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve.  This jumpsuit isn’t on sale yet but the Chelsea28 brand is a great price point.  This piece is currently $149 on Nordstrom.com.

Jumpsuit

How I would style it:

Sheer Turtleneck  //  Ankle Strap Sandal  //  Earrings 

 

 

 

My long green Lulu’s dress from last Christmas was one of my favorite holiday dresses.  It was comfortable and easy to wear and it looked great with a belt or other accessories.  This dress is a different style but still has that same deep emerald green that I fell in love with.

Emerald Green Maxi Dress

How I would style it:

Faux Fur Vest  //  Rose Gold Bootie  //  Triple Starburst Earring

Pointy Toe Pump // Calf Hair Belt //  Gold Choker

 

 

The true holiday collections haven’t started hitting stores just yet but will in the next several weeks.  Keep your eye out for the deals and I will update you when I see new things that grab my attention!

XO,

Tippy

It took me months to work my way up to leg pressin It took me months to work my way up to leg pressing 160 pounds.

In the last four weeks, I dropped back to 100.

That sounds discouraging until you know the whole story.

I took two weeks completely off while we were on vacation. Then I spent another two weeks barely making it to the gym because life got busy and my knee needed a break.

Old me would have looked at that number and thought I was starting over.

Now I know better.

Progress isn’t a straight line. It’s full of vacations, injuries, busy seasons, family commitments, work deadlines, and days when your body simply needs rest.

The strongest people I know aren’t the ones who never lose momentum. They’re the ones who keep coming back.

So if you’ve ever looked at someone else’s progress and wondered why yours feels so slow, remember this: you’re only seeing a snapshot. You’re not seeing the months of consistency, the setbacks, the plateaus, or the days they had to start lighter than they wanted to.

Fitness isn’t something I’m trying to “finish.” It’s a lifelong relationship with my body. Some seasons I’ll be stronger. Some seasons I’ll simply be showing up.

Both count.

I know I’ll get back to 160.

And when I do, it’ll be because I kept going—not because I never took a break.

If you’re in a season where it feels like you’ve taken a step backward, give yourself some grace. Your journey isn’t over. It’s just another chapter.
