I knew I wanted to shift toward fashion and personal branding but I was not sure how to make that change without losing what I had already built. So I kept creating and sat with it for a while.

In June 2025 I made the move. I added one digital marketing post per week. One post. Same cadence. Just a new direction layered in.

The engagement on those posts was lower. It was noticeable and honestly it was uncomfortable. But I had made a commitment to give it time and I kept going.

Here is what I want you to know about making a content shift.

There will be a dip. That is not a sign to stop. That is just the algorithm and your audience catching up to where you are going. You have to decide before you start how long you are going to commit to the change. Because if you abandon the plan after one week because the numbers scared you, you will never know what was on the other side.

What was on the other side for me was people using my content in their businesses. Followers coming in specifically because of the digital marketing posts. Real feedback from real people telling me it was helping them.

And the newsletters. Shifting my newsletters to match the digital focus has been the biggest benefit of the entire change. Getting that content straight into someone’s inbox is a different kind of connection than a post in a feed.

Create content that is consistent with what is actually happening in your life and your business. Your community will shift and grow with you.

But only if you give them something real to find.

Save this for the next time you are afraid to make a change.

It is August and that is not early. That is right on time.

Most people start thinking about holiday content in October. By then you have already missed brand collab deadlines, photographer availability, and Pinterest’s content window. The creators and small businesses that win the holiday season start planning now.

Here is what your August should look like:

-Pitch brands you want to work with — they are finalizing budgets right now
-Book your holiday shoot — photographers fill up fast in the fall
-Get your Halloween content on Pinterest — it needs 60 days to develop, that window is now
-Start mapping your anchor dates and working backwards

The collab I met about yesterday has a hard deadline of October 7th. That is 2.5 months before Christmas. Paid collabs have a process: outreach, contracts, approvals, posting. There is no rushing that timeline.

And here is something most people do not think about. Online buying starts plateauing around December 15th. If you are an affiliate seller or an online business your sales need to happen before that date. Local businesses have a little more runway but do not rely on it.

Christmas content needs to be on Pinterest no later than October.

Your holiday shoot needs to happen in September.
Your brand pitches need to go out now.

The holiday season is closer than you think.

Mardi Gras Balls – Buying Formals Online

I started this year with a new vision for my posts. I want to make shopping convenient and easy for women of any size so all of my posts will now be size inclusive. This means that in all of my posts I will provide options for women size XS and up. I am really making an effort not to exclude any body size. We can all dress stylishly no matter our size and my job is to ease the search for you just a little.

My hope this year is to help all of you find pieces that make you feel amazing both online and locally. Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting stores in the area who will be carrying formalwear for Mardi Gras balls especially the ones who carry both regular and plus sizes. All of these tryons and information will be available to you on my Instagram page here.

Mardi Gras is quickly approaching and the balls start weeks before the parades. I am actually slightly behind because many krewes had their balls last weekend. There is still a lot of Mardi Gras fun to be had so we are in crunch time on finding the right dress. I want to make this easy and simple for you because shopping online may be the best option for you.

Know before you buy…

If you are going to buy something like a formal online you need to make sure you are reading all of the reviews and the size charts. Formal gowns usually run small so make sure you are measuring yourself and comparing that to the size chart.

If you are looking for more of my guidelines to how to buy gowns online check out this post here.

{This post contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase from one of the links I provide I make a small commission off of the sale at no additional cost to you.}

So what is catching my eye this year…

I tried to round up styles that would work for small bust, larger busts, small waist, pear shape and our tall girls too. All of these are under $100!

I don’t live in New Orleans but my heart is always there. The events, culture, people, vibe… you can’t get it anywhere else. She’s a city with a pulse and a soul. She thinks she’s special because at the end of the day no one else is like her. And it my book that makes her pretty special.
