But yesterday, we flipped the script:  I jumped in front of the lens while John handled the filming to show off this precious flip he just finished in Hammond. Let’s just say… with all the zooming, I won’t be handing over my job anytime soon. 😉
Meet the summer accessory I didn’t know I needed Meet the summer accessory I didn’t know I needed:
A sweater. On your shoulders. Tied just so. Styled with intention.

This one simple layering piece is giving main character energy and so many moods. Here’s how I’ve worn it three totally different ways:

1️⃣ Everyday Casual – Tossed over a tank and skirt for errands or iced coffee runs
2️⃣ Sporty & On-the-Go – Layered over an athletic dress with sneakers for a walk or travel day
3️⃣ Dressed Up – Draped over a silk dress for a fancier lunch (yes, it works with satin too)

Whether it’s tied, draped, or slung just right, this is the kind of easy layering that instantly elevates your outfit without adding heat.

Behind the scenes + my best advice for planning a Behind the scenes + my best advice for planning a successful shoot. ✨Save this post before your next shoot it’ll save you time and sanity✨

1. Make a master content list before shoot day.
Plan out everything you need: Reels, posts, newsletters, blogs whatever you’re creating for the week, two weeks, or month. Get super clear so you don’t forget a single idea when the camera starts rolling.

2. Batch content by outfit and backdrop.
If you need Reels and pics in the same look and setting, knock all of that out before you switch it up. Changing outfits and locations takes time work smarter.

3. Add every piece of content to a shot list.
Put it somewhere you can physically check things off. Having a plan in your hand (or on your phone) keeps you on track and less overwhelmed.

4. Don’t overpack your shot list.
Be realistic. You don’t need 47 ideas in one day. Focus on quality. 

5. Try on every outfit before content day.
No surprises, no missing accessories, no last-minute panic. Know what works so you can show up confident and ready to create.

Boutique Profile – The Villa Mandeville

This post is sponsored by The Villa Mandeville.

{Editor’s Note} I love highlighting local businesses whenever I can. My relationship with The Villa Mandeville started with this blog post back in 2019. Getting to know Marta, Nichole and Elizabeth has blossomed into a wonderful friendship and also a working relationship. They have dressed me for several events like New Orleans Fashion Week and also Hammer and Heels. They were also my first clients for my social media business. Over the last year The Villa has been doing some awesome things, so I wanted to update this post and show you what has been happening.

The Villa Mandeville (1281 North Causeway Blvd. Ste. 1) is locally owned and operated by family members Marta, Nichole and Elizabeth. Every day you can expect to see one of them in the store merchandising or working with their clients. The Villa is expertly laid out and the first time I visited I immediately noticed how easy it was to locate the section where I wanted to shop. It was very apparent they have been doing this for a while.

The Villa Style at every age header.

Marta took over The Villa 21 years ago. Nichole joined her mom when she was 14 and then took off a few years after she married and had kids. Elizabeth was the last to join 8 years ago after graduating from college. They work together daily and, being family, many of their evenings, weekends and holidays are spent together as well.

Update. Since this post in 2019 both Nichole and Eizabeth have gotten married, and Elizabeth has welcomed a sweet baby girl named Ruby.

Elizabeth and Ruby

Interview from 2019

Me: What is hardest part about working with your family?
Nichole: We all have really different styles so buying is always interesting.
Elizabeth: Yeah, all of us go to purchase for the store and sometimes we disagree on styles to have in the store.

In the world of boutiques, the sizing is typically on the smaller side. The Villa offers clothing from 0-14 and XS-XL. They are more style inclusive than a lot of boutiques that tend to gear more toward juniors sizing.

Me: Tell me about what you think sets your boutique apart?
Marta: I really think it’s the fact that you can come in here and complete an entire wardrobe. We don’t just have dresses or only trendy pieces. We try to carry everything from t-shirts to cocktail dresses. It’s important for me that the store be a one stop shop.
Elizabeth: I also think that we have a lot of interesting accessories like Virtue Jewelry and finishing pieces. It is easy to leave here with a complete look and not need to continue shopping for a bracelet or earrings.

Me: What are your personal favorite brands that your store carries?
Marta: I love Black Halo.
Nichole: Lavender Brown and Bella Doll
Elizabeth: Bella Doll and Johnny Was

Me: Tell me something you are proud your boutique offers?
Nichole: We really know our customers. You can come in here and we can help dress you. We pay a lot of attention to what our customers like and what looks good on them.
Marta: Our store really has items for a woman at any age. When you think about it you have a woman in her 20’s, 40’s and 60’s picking out clothing for you and working closely together. It makes a big difference in what we can offer our customers.

Me: What do you think is something your boutique is known for?
Marta: Dresses. Definitely our dresses.

Me: What is the price range of the store?
Marta: We have t-shirts starting around $25 and the most expensive thing in our store is $345. You can find a dress here between $100 and $345.

Me: What local designers do you carry?
Marta: We carry a few like Virtue Jewelry and our Mardi Gras sweaters are made locally too. You can always find something from a local brand in the store.

Spring 2022

The Villa isn’t just my friends and clients, I also love their clothes and they are a go to when I need a fancy dress for an event. Recently Nichole dressed me for two different events I have in March. We picked out two Trina Turk dresses that were just perfect for spring.

So, the next time you are out and about shopping take a minute to stop in and say hi to the ladies of The Villa. They are open Monday thru Saturday 10 to 5. You can visit their website here or follow them on Instagram. New styles arriving daily!

XO,
Tiffany

About Me
I'm Tiffany. Although some of my favorite people call me Tippy. My favorite color is pattern. Seriously, I've never met a pattern I didn't like. My style is as bold as my personality and you should never trust my hair color. I am all about size inclusive style on a Nordstrom Sale budget.
