Celebrating the birthdays of @montarboskincare and Celebrating the birthdays of @montarboskincare and my @phil.narmada! ♥️ . I always joke that my face belongs to Cody Montarbo because his products have enriched my face so much! lol #montarboforlife (I use his Beauty Elixir every single night, the Vitamin B + C serum every single day, and I use his Hydration mask on my neck and chest day + night) https://www.montarboskincarestore.com/ .

@bloomingdales has just come out with a new in hou @bloomingdales has just come out with a new in house brand called Bloomies - aptly named! Who else is always calling Bloomingdales Bloomies? 🙋🏽‍♀️ . Bloomies features limited edition styles with a fresh retro vibe. I am sporting the black and white reversible checkered bikini top and bottom with matching sarong. The bikini is super soft, yet strong and gives good coverage, while the sarong is very lightweight and a little transparent in a good way. I am also wearing (and loving) their soft oversize tees. I’m wearing a size small in the cropped Tees, but I think an extra small would’ve been better, so go ahead and size down on those. But size up on the bikini. I paired all of the affordable Bloomies goodies with some luxury shades by Christian Dior. I was feeling (🥰) the whole retro futuristic combo. . You can shop my outfits and the Bloomies items on my profile at @shop.ltk or use this link: https://liketk.it/3HGih . I also have direct links under my stories highlight “Buy Stuff” . .

I am taking a moment from fashion today because I I am taking a moment from fashion today because I am horrified by the likelihood of Roe vs Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court in a few months. This means abortion will be illegal in 22+ states in our country. Almost half of American women will lose safe and legal access to this hard fought right. What an incredible regression this will be. I am truly aghast. Everyone knows a woman who has needed an abortion. . This year a friend of mine had to abort her much desired pregnancy because it died in the womb. . My best friend’s Mom had an abortion when her two daughters were teenagers because it didn’t make sense for her to have a third child in her early 50’s. . Women have abortions because they have been raped, or they are poor, or they have no support, or they are too young. Women have abortions because their pregnancy might kill them. Or because it might kill their dreams. There are so, so, so many different abortion scenarios and stories. . We don't get to pick and choose which abortion scenarios should be accepted. It's not about the stories we don't agree with. It's about fighting for the women in the stories that we do agree with. . Women's rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation. . Access to a safe abortion needs to be available to every single woman no matter their story or state residency. . Forcing a person to carry a fetus to term that they do not want or cannot safely deliver is inhumane. .

I’ve had an interesting week! Firstly, I have ha I’ve had an interesting week! Firstly, I have had a spot peel facial from the Queen of Skincare @montarboskincare - this is why I have large fake looking freckles. They are currently peeling off and will reveal flawless skin shortly. . Two, I have some physical ailments of late that have lead to a severe back spasm that has required me to take a big step back from technology and my clients. The timing couldn’t be much worse - I am fully booked through September. . To the clients I have contacted to reschedule (in some cases months from now) thank you so very kindly for your flexibility and understanding. I detest disappointing you, so every kind word and gracious rebooking means everything to me 🙏🏼♥️ . Not to worry! I am already healing nicely and I have a team of lovely professionals to get me back to 💯 . My healing assignment is very straight forward: physical therapy every single day, minimize time on the computer/cell phone and keep active. If I skimp on this even a little, I am in pain. . I was already heading in the direction of less clients - I have been overbooked and over worked for over a decade. But I am taking this direction a little more seriously now. Something about not being able to move really gets you moving! Lol . I will only be working with clients that are truly the right fit for my process. (I always say my ideal client is someone that plans in advance and “let’s me work”. I will be putting together a video that explains this in more detail soon.) . For everyone else I have a handful of other delightful personal stylists I can refer you to - I want you in good hands! ♥️ . And of course you can always have access to my free style tips via my social media (go to my Insta profile and click on my “Buy Stuff” highlight) and my free monthly newsletter (link in bio). . Thank you again to every single client that will be affected by the schedule changes I have been and will be making. Your understanding makes my heart sing ♥️ .

@bloomingdales noticed how much I love them and re @bloomingdales noticed how much I love them and reached out to sponsor a post — swoon! . Bloomingdale's has always been a vital shopping resource for me when it comes to women's formal wear, blouses, jewelry (especially their in-house fine jewelry collection), fresh men’s wear, and pieces other department stores just don't have. And absolutely no other high-end department store has as many sales as Bloomingdale's. And their free Loyallist Program is the best reward program I have ever seen. . I know, price means little to me, as it's all about buying the best items for our lives. But I know many of you love getting a good sale, and who am I kidding — if I can get what I was going to buy anyways at a lower price, color me happy. . With that said, right now Bloomingdale's is having its Buy More, Save More sale online until April 17th. You get 20% - 30% off depending how much you buy - scrumptious 😋 . Update! Starting April 26th - Loyallists get 30% off if you order $200 worth of shoes. I’m telling you, the sales at Bloomingdale’s are never ending! . Go to https://vstyleblog.com (link in bio) to see my favorite pieces on sale, as well as a few favorites that are not on sale - because they are amazing. . My blog article also explains Bloomingdale’s incomparable Loyalist program and other services you didn’t know they had. . . PPS you can see all my Bloomingdale’s recommendations on my @shop.ltk profile from now until May. .

Here are a few of my favorite horizontal shots fro Here are a few of my favorite horizontal shots from the party. A continuation of my last post ♥️ . Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate 40 years of life on this gorgeous earth! . @mrs.howardhansen planned the entire event to absolute perfection! 🌟 . @jsuphan was the most amazing Master of Ceremonies. . @dayleyphoto took the most fabulous red carpet photos - as you can tell! (More photos being posted shortly - Insta only allows 10 pics per carousel) . @ambermullenhair gave me hair that lasted all night - a gargantuan feat with my limp locks! 🏆 . Black and gold nails by @hyde_edwards_salon . Wearing: @revolve x @loversandfriendsfest I loved my dress, but I was so busy with my clients leading up to the event, I didn’t leave time for my own tailoring/fittings and getting the right earrings in time 🤦🏽‍♀️ Another reminder I need to designate more time to myself in my calendar. This is my birthday resolution. . Last thought: I believe in birthday parties. Whether it’s large or small, a gathering of your favorite people to celebrate your existence in this world makes perfect sense to me. I cannot explain enough how loved I feel and how excited I am by my community of people who feel like sunlight. ☀️ . . . #redcarpet #redcarpetfashion #redcarpetdress #redcarpetstyle #ltkfashion #ltkblogger #fashionstylist #wardrobestylist #imageconsultant #sdstylebloggers #personalstylist #personalshopper #fashion #wardrobegoals #fashionblog #fashionbloggers #styleblog #styleblogger #styleadvice #styleblogger #styleinspiration #styleguide #ltkstyletip #fashionconsultant #fashionadvice #fashioninspo #styleinspo #styleadvisor #latina #style
