We are > Comparison... do you believe it?
•
Partnering up today with the amazing @maggylondon to bring you this AMAZING and very needed message that YOU can claim self love in a sea of…COMPARISON.
•
COMPARISONhappens when you fall victim to the mentality that you donothave enough, and that what youdohave is second best. Comparison literally poisons our minds to believe lies about ourselves, and others. At the end of the day, comparison actually tells us that we areNOTenough.
•
BUT! Who is to say this way of thinking has to continue? Who is to say we cannot conquer these thoughts ONCE and for ALL?!
Friends, I have found myself suffocating from this thinking over and over, and I don't know about you, but I have had ENOUGH! So today, I'm talking about 3 amazing ways YOU can claimSELF LOVE as a lifeline in a sea of comparison!

Double tap if you agree that life is just better with some sparkle!
✨✨✨
I am personally allllll about the sparkle. And not just sparkle in your wardrobe, sparkle in your LIFE! The thing I've found is that "sparkle" to me is like the cherry on top of all good situations. Making space for constant JOY and positivity makes it so that every day has a touch of extra sparkle.
•
One way to make sure you always have room for sparkle, joy, and all the gooood things is to make sure you stay balanced and rested ESPECIALLY in this season. Cuz we all know how crazy it can be, RIGHT?! If you missed it, last week I talked ALL about how to find balance during the holidays as I teamed up with my team @maggylondon to bring you this amazing sparkly dress and a whole bunch of SPARKLY, fun content to make sure you could keep it all together during this sparkly season.
•
If you missed it, you can click the link in my bio to navigate to it and read ALL about this fun topic! (or conversely if you just want to shop this fun sparkl-y dress, you can here👉🏻 http://liketk.it/2tRr5 #liketkit @liketoknow.it )

Wishing you all the MOST sparkly of seasons 😍❤️✨

How does one survive being SINGLE during the Holidays while the picture of love and cute couple-y things is everywhere in site? 🤷🏼‍♀️
•
Whether we want to admit it or not, while the holidays evoke endless amounts of cheery emotion, one aspect that seems to jolt just about all of us single holiday goers is the thought oflove. I’m with you friends! But I have ALSO found some amazing ways to be extra disciplined this season. Instead of advice, on the blog this week I’m giving you guys my 5 new rules about how to truly embrace this season SINGLE and love it fully and completely!
•
A few last notes on how to survive being single during the holidays:
👉🏻Don’t tell yourself you aren’t good enough. You are fully worthy, beyond worthy in fact.
👉🏻Remind yourself of thebeautyof singleness. I promise you, singleness can actually be a gift if you choose to see it as such.
👉🏻Choose JOY as much as possible. Life has enough hardships, don’t let being single steal another second of the joy that comes from celebrating this beautiful time of year!
👉🏻Do as much as you can to be in community and enjoy the company of friends and family around you. This season only has to be lonely if you allow it to be!
•
How are YOU going to conquer the holidays single (and THRIVING)?!
•
This post made possible by the amazing @maggylondon who will keep you STUNNINGLY in style and feminine amidst any season you’re in 💃🏼 http://liketk.it/2tBx8 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Who else feels like it is WAY more difficult being single during the Holidays?
🙋🏼 (👈🏻me raising my hand again and again!)
NEW today on the blog I'm talking about how to survive the Holiday season SINGLE! (you know you're intrigued 🤔) While all the couples are galavanting around on their holiday dates,you may find yourself snuggled up alone at home in your flannel pajamas with candles lit and a glass of wine watching the Holiday and wondering when in the world your Jude Law (or Cameron Diaz) will magically show up. ✨🤷🏼‍♀️Can I get an AMEN to that?
•
But today, instead of going into this season feeling sorry for ourselves, my blog post is all about inspiring you on how to survive being single during the holidays (I believe you can do it!). I lay out 5 rules that will help you shift your perspective and move forward embracing all the goodness this season has to offer WHILE being single!
•
Sneak peak to Rule #5: celebrate and dress with Confidence! I am also so thankful to have partnered with @maggylondon to showcase that
confidence through dressing your best is a must in this holiday season of singleness. You better believe I am going to be strutting around town this December feeling my best and owning my singleness in this fierce Maggy London Holiday look.

http://liketk.it/2ty96 @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Friends, have you ever had those seasons in your life when you just feel like giving up? I mean really, and truly throwing up your hands and saying “that’s it, I am through“.
😖🙆🏼‍♀️
•
New on the blog!! Do you find yourself sometimes feeling this exact same way, friends? Have you had hopes and dreams for the future that have all come crumbling down? Are you dealing with a slew of medical issues that seem endless and sometimes hopeless? Are you grieving from the death of a loved one, or from an extreme heartbreak that doesn’t make sense? Do you feel like every door at work keeps closing, and your path is stagnant and bleak? Do you feel so lonely that the whole of your heart aches? If you answered yes to any one of these questions (or more), then the message today is for YOU.
•
On the blog I’m talking about how to trust again when life HURTS. Inspired by a @vintagechurchla sermon by my pastor Ger Jones, I walk you through some steps for HOW to deal with seasons of pain, hurt, confusion, and doubt.

Share this with someone else if you think they need this encouragement today! ❤️

Double TAP if you see this pretty pink outfit then realize you’ve been in yoga pants all day! 😝🤷🏼‍♀️ #struggleisreal
•
The FUNNY part about that is, I love this outfit and i LOVE dressing up, but alas in my new life as an entrepreneur I’m lucky if some days i get out of my robe. TRUE STORY. I️’ve actually worn down the one pair of leggings I have SO badly that they not have giant holes in them... and I STILL wear them. I have to say, when I was in corporate life I NEVER thought I’d embrace athleisure and makeup-less days as much as I do now. 😬
•
But the POINT is, no matter what you’re wearing, it’s amazing because it embraces you! Be confident in your own skin, whether in hole-y worn down leggings, or the girliest pink outfit in your closet. BOTH versions are perfectly lovely because they have YOU in them. You hear me? 💗
•
Tag someone below who you know embraces their wardrobe no matter what!

OH, but if you like this outfit enough to shop it you can do that here too 😋👉🏻 http://liketk.it/2tntY #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Heartbreak: Redirection VS Rejection
•
TODAY on the blog I pour out my heart and dive into talking about a topic that is SO relevant and crazy near to my heart right now… that is the topic of rejection,and specifically rejection in heartbreak! 💔
•
How many of you have experienced heartbreak in one way shape or form? 🙋🏼It is no exaggeration to say that when heartbreak hits, a waterfall of emotions, feelings, and thoughts come pouring over us… usually in the form of rejection 🙅🏼:a dark space that corrupts our hope and replaces truths with hopeless lies saying that God doesn’t really have a good plan for us.
•
So HOW do we shift our mind to see the GOOD in heartbreak when the walls all around us are crumbling? How do we experience a renewed hope for our future? How do we shift our view to see rejection as REDIRECTION?
•
Today on the blog I share intimately about my recent heartbreak, and how it so deeply hurt me. When this immensely great relationship ended, I found myself fighting against the thoughts of rejection with ALL of my might. After all, I was planning on marrying this man so to have it end so suddenly felt like my entire world was crashing down. Sound familiar to anyone?
Through this heartbreak and pain, I was able to embrace some KEY revelations that helped me to transform my heart’s ability to turn rejection into a comfort of redirection. [praise JESUS!] 🙌🏻
•
So if you know anyone going through heartbreak that needs encouragement, THIS post is for you, or for them! ❤️ it was definitely a difficult one for me to write, but I am excited for how the Lord may want to use this to provide further encouragement and healing to those experiencing painful rejection and heartbreak.
•
Though it is in no way an easy process, I want you to know that I BELIEVE IN YOU and am right here beside you, tissue box, chocolate, hugs, and prayers galore my dearest friend. You can do this!

How in the world does one optimize and find BALANCE on social media? Today on the blog, I'm telling you!
•
As I have considered how I could more consistently add REST and BALANCE into my days, I have also thought about the one area of my life that has consumed me the most….
…drumroll please…
💥SOCIAL MEDIA💥
Are you surprised?! Probably not! I was very intrigued by how much time we spend as a culture on social media and read up on some prettyyyy eye opening statistics below [be prepared to gasp!].
•
👉🏻An average of 2 hours a day is spent on social media, which translates to 5 years and 4 months over a lifetime * [GASP # 1!!!]
👉🏻30% of time online is now spent on social media * [GASP # 2!!!]
👉🏻Time spent on social media daily outweighs eating, grooming AND socializing [approximately 3 years and 5 months]!!! *[GASP # 3!!!]
•
Today on the blog I have included some of my top tips below that will help you to foster a “realer than real” social media account, that will save you time and effort… and in the end, add some years back to your life! 👧🏼👦🏻❤️🙏🏻

Cheerio 🇬🇧
The truth is, I think London loves me you guys. I've ONLY seen london when it's 65 and sunny and I think I may be getting some sort of skued picture of how PERFECT this city is. London was not previously on my list of cities to live in, but after this latest visit it is now #2 (after paris of course).
Who else is seriously in love with London?

YOU GUYS! I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF RN! ✨cue super cheesy giddy post ✨ I'm currently sitting on my bed, waiting for the sun to rise in PARIS, the love of my life, the city that lights my SOUL on fire! It has been THREE years since reuniting with my long lost love... if y'all know me, then you know that I have been in withdrawal for at least the last year. I have had random moments of getting misty eyed reminiscing on watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle, & roaming the street eating baguettes & cheese, & vintage shopping in the Marias, & exploring the beautiful Musée du Louvre with just a cup of coffee & some instrumental music. ALL of this is about to become REALITY, and my heart is quite literally EXPLODING 💗💥I may or may not come back a changed woman.... or at least a fully inspired & super ecstatic Kaitness. 💋// http://liketk.it/2sRSx #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The importance of being vulnerable 💗 // new post today on Madly Mignon! The thought of being vulnerable for many of us makes us cringe. Almost nothing seems worse than being seemingly EXPOSED at your core for others to see. Brene Brown defines vulnerability as “the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome.” There are many aspects that go into being vulnerable..MANY. Vulnerability means that we risk being exposed… + that takes a ton of bravery + courage. Read more today on the blog about why I think being vulnerable is so important! // http://liketk.it/2sLPS @liketoknow.it #liketkit // 📷: @stefaniemariee

EMBRACE the PAIN! // earlier this week on the blog.... and that's right, you heard me correct! When we embrace the pain + hardship in our life + choose to face it rather than run from it we can actually press forward in victory. Darkness will not succeed if we invite the light in. Indeed, the more positive, life giving light we let in, the brighter our future becomes. I love in first John 1:4 that it says:
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” 1 John 1:5
Let God be your refuge + your strength during this time of hardship. Let Him embrace you + be your ever-present help in this time of trouble + hurt. Do not fear that there is no way out of the darkness, because God is within YOU + you will NOT fall. He is your fortress of your protection + the ultimate guider of your every step. Find rest knowing that this word is FOR YOU in this time of pain + confusion. The darkness will NOT overcome the light. ❤️🙏🏻 read more today on the blog! http://liketk.it/2sK60 #liketkit @liketoknow.it

NEW post today! There is something about smelling lovely that just makes my soul SMILE. ☺️ Quite literally sometimes I wake up in the morning excited to just wakeup, shower, + put on my favorite perfume. The best part about an amazing fresh scent is when you have been working hard all day, slaving away at your computer + you get up to move around + catch a fresh whiff of the glorious scent. It honestly puts a smile to my face. Call me crazy, but does this happen for anyone else?! today on the blog I'm talking about my FAVORITE scents, like this one from the amazing @tiffanyandco ✨💙 // shop all my go to to, make me happy, feel oh-so-good about myself scents here 👉🏻 http://liketk.it/2sJhh #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Tonight I did something I've never done before. Tonight I went to the movies ALONE! The epic @heartofmanmovie was out for ONE night in theatres! I'm sorry if you're ready this and didn't know because it's too late 🙈 BUT rest assured you can get it on iTunes when it's released! I feel SO impacted by this film and the beautiful representation of the REDEMPTIVE love of the Father. I balled my eyes out and simultaneously felt so much comfort. Jesus loves us so much you guys, I can ashamedly speak that without DOUBT. No matter what you're going through, no matter what shame you may feel for your actions... God will never give up on you. NEVER. // http://liketk.it/2sIUN #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Putting one foot in front of the other 🙋🏼🙌🏻 isn't so hard when you have a fierce pair of shoes, am I right?!

You can shop them here 👉🏻 (you're welcome!) http://liketk.it/2sI9n @liketoknow.it #liketkit

New post is live today on Madly Mignon! Today I'm getting very heartfelt, as I reflect on the pain and hurt I see in our world. There is so much darkness that seems to be clouding many of us, which begs me to wonder, how do we move forward, exactly? How do we find the light in the darkness? While this is a loaded question, today's post is meant to serve as a form of encouragement amidst whatever type of hardship or pain you may be dealing with. My current life motto courtesy of the AMAZING @lysaterkeurst is "we must feel the pain to HEAL from the pain." Believe it or not, amidst the tears I actually ask God to let me feel the pain so I can heal from the pain with His guidance over time. You might be saying… “Girlfriend are you crazy?! You actually ask God to make you feel the pain?! That is cray cray!” I understand why you might think so, but I promise you that the pain isn’t the enemy.

You see that smirk? It's officially the start of NYFW... so that means it's time to CUE my ever so favorite Fashion Month!! Out of all my blogger friends, I am probably one of the onlyyyyy gals that chose to forego NYFW this season.

CHOOSING JOY 😋 // TODAY'S new post on the blog...something I have grown more + more aware of is figuring out how to choose JOY amidst all the chaos of life. It is a CHOICE + it can be a true battle to maintain. Lately I have been realizing more + more just how important it is to make a conscious decision to do things for myself that encourage + foster JOY in all it’s glory.
“The JOY of the Lord is my Strength” Nehemiah 8:10
God is most satisfied when WE are joyful. And in turn, the strength we need to combat life is found in the essential joy of God. WOW… So truly + completely then the JOY of the Lord is our strength, + when we are Joyful, HE is satisfied. It is in our very best interest to be JOYFUL despite the chaos. We are called to choose joy in the hard + confusing seasons. Read more today on HOW I have been actively pursuing this today on Madly Mignon // http://liketk.it/2svAf #liketkit @liketoknow.it

When you realize September is in 7 days.... which means we will be two thirds of the way through 2017!!! What are the things you wrote down to accomplish in 2017 that you haven't yet gotten to yet? What's holding you back from achieving those things? ❤️ // http://liketk.it/2sv1L #liketkit @liketoknow.it

#realtalk moment: this week took some unexpected turns. SO I'm only able to bring you one post this week but that's okay because I am superrrrrr excited about the gravity of my post EARLIER this week: living in ABUNDANCE ❤️ // When we switch our mindset to think of living in abundance, we are able to open our mind to the possibility that there is SO much waiting for us. We can finally stop being hindered by our own earthly thoughts. Trust me, it is SO freeing.
Individuals with an abundance mentality can share in the JOY of success for others, while stopping their brains from comparing themselves to the so-called “winner of the pie”. In fact, there is no longer just ONE winner of the pie. In this mentality there are many pies + many pieces of pies, so in essence we all win in our own way [Does anyone ELSE want pie as much as me I do right now?!]. When you switch to an abundance mentality in ALL that you do, you suddenly realize that you begin to embrace your own self-worth + confidence fully. // read more his week on Madly Mignon [link in bio] // Screenshot or 'like' this pic to shop the product details from the LIKEtoKNOW.it app, available now from the App Store! http://liketk.it/2sr3E #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Living in ADUNDANCE // coming in HOT 🔥❤️ today on Madly Mignon in partnership with @shopreddress [this dress is UNDER $40!]! Do you ever find yourselves on Instagram scrolling through + seeing a ton of perfectly posed photos, or someone on the most exotic vacation imaginable with their beautiful little family all whislst having a six pack [after having multiple kids I might add…]? Indeed, you may have had the BEST weekend, but seeing these images for some reason steals all of your joy. You watched the sunset, made some good meals + spent time with friends, but none of that can “compare” to this perfect lifestyle of a woman with a family + perfect looking kids traveling to the most exotic destination with her model-esque husband. Sigh. Raise your hand if you have everrrr been tempted to feel this way whilst looking at social media?
While social media has a tendency to do this, we have to make an especially conscious effort to truly choose truth. You see, often we actually live out of a place of having a “scarcity” mentality. AKA, that that person has what I want + I will never obtain that.
This. thinking. is. WRONG.
// see more today on the opposite type of thinking... a mindset of ABUNDANCE today on the blog! // #ad #sponsored #shopreddress // http://liketk.it/2soKc #liketkit @liketoknow.it

📍Currently: contemplating HOW amazing this week before us is going to be. 🙌🏻💙 I am going into this week with the perspective that God has immeasurably amazing plans for us. His plans are not scarce but rather ABUNDANT & plentiful. Just because one person has something you wanted, doesn't mean there isn't more of that waiting for you... or better yet something even MORE incredible than you imagined. This week, I urge you to remove the negative thoughts that will halt your future and replace them with positivity and praises for God... the one who will deliver you & provide abundantly! // http://liketk.it/2snID #liketkit @liketoknow.it

new today: LBD day to NIGHT 🖤✨ // Why hello lovely beautiful people!

I've been on a Parisian kick lately... but then again, when am I not? 🤷🏼‍♀️💗 one week ago I posted about my LOVE for Paris + all things French! One thing that is obvious that I love about France is the Parisian fashion. Coco Chanel said it best: “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” This is how I feel about Paris. Fashion exists EVERYWHERE you go in this magical city... am I making you want to go there yet? 💗🎀 // http://liketk.it/2s6DY #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I am so committed to bringing you loves not only the best content....but also authentic + heart filled. I want you to know this blog is truly a part of my heart + I am incredibly committed to sharing with you all of my true + authentic experiences, learnings, loves, + travels.

FIRST + FOREMOST... HAPPY BASTILLE DAY LOVES! Today my post on the blog is dedicated to all things FRENCH, Parisian to be exact!
As I sit here right now, I listen to my frenchie vibes playlist with a smile on my face. So many of you have asked me... why Madly Mignon? Why do you have a french tinge to ALL that you do + love? This question makes me smile ear to ear! After living in France for over 5 months in college... my heart had a true “love affair” with the city. ✨💗I had already had dreams of how magical Paris was, + one might think those high expectations would be shattered upon living in Paris... but rather they were HEIGHTENED. It was some of the BEST 5 months of my entire life. So, why do I love Paris?Read more on the blog 🎀💕 [link above] // http://liketk.it/2s1GR #liketkit @liketoknow.it

it may no longer be the 4th... but this amazing blue & white embroidered top is making me feel ALL the feels. 💙 I recently partnered with @tuckernuck and am LOVING all their fun preppy, feminine pieces! 😍 all that to say, patriotic vibes are NOT exclusive to the 4th, who's with me loves? ❤️💙🇺🇸 // http://liketk.it/2rYYF #liketkit @liketoknow.it

❤💙🇺🇸 today on Madly Mignon, I am talking about my reverence for the Unites States of America [+ wearing this uber cute look from @tuckernuck]. This country is undoubtedly physically BEAUTIFUL. But even more than having stunning physical terrain, this country has something so much more incredible than just gorgeous countryside. It has people. It has incredibly diverse, uniquely made, driven + passionate people....325.4 million [+ counting] to be exact! We all know that the U.S. is a melting pot of different cultures all in one... but what is SO incredibly great about that is each different culture that comes to the U.S. brings their distinct cultural heritage + traditions to this country. This translates into a culture full of different traditions, heritages, backgrounds, quirks, + intricacies.

I think Jimmy Carter said it best. America is not JUST a melting pot, but rather a beautiful mosaic." A compilation of many different beautiful parts that when put together make a colorful + rich + beautiful WHOLE.

"We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.” -Jimmy Carter // http://liketk.it/2rUAW #liketkit @liketoknow.it
