Woke up to this news from @wed_vibes 🫶🏻 feeling so honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible creatives. When I started this business, I had no idea what was in store for me - the amazing brides that would trust me with their visions, the brands I’d work with, the photographers that would capture my work, the recognition I’d receive. Every day I have to pinch myself that this is my job 🤏🏼 forever grateful for this work and the amazing opportunities that have come my way.

This one feels special. To be recognized by The Wed as one of the Top 15 Bridal Stylists in the world is a milestone I’ll never forget.
Bridal styling began as a passion project—one built on curiosity, instinct, and a deep love for individuality. Years later, it’s become a craft defined by connection, storytelling, and emotion. I’m endlessly grateful to the brides, brands, stores, and mentors who have believed in me, challenged me, and helped me build this business—it wouldn’t exist without you. I’m proud of how far it’s come, and even more excited for what’s next. ❤️🔥

NYBFW camera roll and can honestly say this is the first bridal market where I’ve taken ZERO photos of myself 🙃
BUT ALSO- just want to say how proud I am of all the moms out there doing the thing. Traveling and working with a little plus one is a whole different energy and I was able to go into this BFW with soooo much more respect for this female dominated industries. I love us, I love this work, and I love girlhood 💞

A house that (finally) feels like home 🏡 #gifted
Since we left LA almost two years ago, we’ve been looking for our next home. More than a town or a building, we’ve been trying to find the place that feels like us. A place we can settle in, put down roots, and watch our daughter grow. We found our small town but since we’re renting, it still didn’t feel like us. I was hesitant to invest in the pieces that transform a house into a home.
When @cb2 reached out about partnering together on a registry, it felt like a sign. A sign that it didn’t have to be our forever home to feel like home.
I wanted our home to feel warm, elevated (even with a baby 😅), modern, and have a touch of western as a nod to our surroundings. These pieces have truly transformed our house and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.
I’m still over the moon about this partnership and I hope you love the pieces I curated as much as I do. You can see my entire CB2 real registry by clicking the link in my bio 🤍

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
