A Brand Strategy Consulting & LaurenStack.com: Who Says You Shouldn't Work with Friends?!

final website design for LaurenStack.com

So excited to be able to share a much loved blog LaurenStack.com. Lauren is a childhood friend of mine and she has always had a pension for style and fashion. She has turned that love into a burgeoning career as a stylist doing fabulous things like working with Neiman Marcus and at New York Fashion Week. 

Lauren contacted my marketing company, A Brand Strategy Consulting, about updating her blog to be as fabulous as she is. We had a blast picking out colors, headers, and fonts. It was really great to work with someone that shares the same passion for their work and is truly fearless about following her dreams. I am blessed to have clients like her and let's just say I try to keep the use of 'blessed' in check for when it's real. This is one of those times when it is totally real.

This is a great example of what you can do with a simple Blogger blog using the right tools. It doesn't cost a fortune either and makes a tremendous impact on your branding! 

I love doing projects like this, so, if you know someone that has a passion for blogging and needs a little polish to give their blog that extra oomph please tell them to contact me today! 

I have no doubt that Lauren's blog will be a huge success. Go ahead and put it on your Safari Reading List because it's going to be big!

Summer 2014 Must Have: The Maillot aka The Cool One Piece

ASOS Maillot 1 // J. Crew Panama Hat // Lisa Marie Fernandez Maillot 2 // Chloe Sandals // Mara Hoffman Maillot 3 // ASOS Tassel Necklace // J. Crew Rope Bracelet // ASOS Maillot 4 // Michael Kors Beach Bag

I am so happy to be able to select four gorgeous one pieces for you to wear this summer. The Maillot aka the cool one piece is pretty hot right now and I cannot be more pleased. B-Rad and I are headed to the white beaches of Cancun, Mexico in a few weeks for some much needed down time. I am looking forward to the relief of only needing a few items of clothing for the entire week we are there because nothing says true vacation like repeat outfits. Cancun holds a special place in our hearts because we spent a long weekend on a whim there very early in our relationship. Of course that time we stayed at a bargain resort and this time we are staying at a proper resort but it was still wonderful none the less. Forgive my inability to write interesting sentences... We went to a very fun party last night benefiting Houston's Hermann Park and really tied one on. Let's just say the night ended in the McDonald's drive thru - not proud, but hey it's the truth. 

Any who, I leave you with some gorgeous beach images courtesy of Pinterest (follow me here!) along with what is sure to be the song of the Summer by Calvin Harris to get you in the mood.
