As we finally embark on the weekend of Christmas making last minute preparations for our home, I'm so excited to share with you all my holiday look book for the season. For the past couple of years, my holiday look book usually debuts on Christmas Eve, as somewhat of a gift or present to my audience and all of my dear Allured Loves. But this year, I managed to send your virtual gift a day early. I hope as your preparing your hearts and homes to receive loved ones, or whether

Earlier this month I announced on my social media pages my latest partnership with JCPenney for their summertime "Distant Lands" campaign. I'm always super excited and overjoyed whenever they reach out interested in hiring and collaborating with me to work on another one of their home and lifestyle projects. I've said it only a million times, my love for JCPenney runs very deep and dates all the way back to my childhood years. I'm a JCPenney card holder, still buy the bulk of

I'm so excited to now finally announce that my first major collaboration for the 2022 year is with none other than JCPenney. This is now my second time working with the mass retailer and hopefully not my last as I've been a loyal shopper and lover of the brand for most of my life. My history with JCPenney dates back to my childhood years, shopping in the store with my Mom for everything from clothing, shoes, luggage, home decor, bedding, kitchen and serveware, jewelry and so

It's officially that time of year again. The week of Christmas is finally here and my most favorite month of the year, which happens to be not only my birthday month, but also the most wonderful time of year. The month of December has been on and popping for a few weeks now.

In the case of a spring or summertime refresh, it can be as subtle or simple as bringing the outdoors in by adding some fresh florals to your home, (or faux florals if you're like me and don't ha

With Spring in full swing and the official start of the Summer season quickly approaching, I can now finally announce my next partnership to you guys. But before I do that, let's go back just a tad bit to recap. C'mon ya'll now how I do. For the past few months I've been sharing on my Instagram Stories, that my Husband and I would be heading to Europe for our 2019 Summer Vacation. However, due to a partnership that was in the works, I refrained from publicly announcing on my

So remember last week, I shared with you all that the very first partnership campaign I'd be debuting to you guys was one that I was highly

The Holiday Season is in full swing all across the globe, with many having started decking their halls and gotten into the holiday spirit as early as mid October. To my loyal, faithful Day 1's...ya'll know that is far too early and ambitious for me to start holiday decorating. Not just because of my intense schedule, but because I do try and enjoy my Fall Decor for as long as possible. In addition, if some of you remember, I gave a pre-warning at the end of the Summer that my

Summertime is finally here!
