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.

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

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.
