Op-Ed: Why Blogger Activism Is Important "I'd like to speak to her when she's done with that customer." A harmless statement made by a woman after making her purchase at a different register, right? Wrong. A million questions started coming…

Instagram post 2174978339910353193_27750405 THANK A VET🇺🇸For those of you who are new around here, this is my dad. My dad served in the Army for his entire adult life (he recently retired on his 60th birthday in January). Papa CCB retired as a Command Sergeant Major of a Brigade (in the words of Ron Burgundy, he’s kind of a big deal😁) and he served his country with pride. It was an honor and a privilege to watch him move up in the ranks while growing up. My first memories of him in uniform were when he was a drill sergeant. I was in kindergarten and he bought me a pink tee that said “my daddy is a drill sergeant”. I loved that shirt and wore it until it fell apart🤣But there were tough times too. He deployed for 19 months during my freshman year of college. I’d maybe get an email or phone call once a week if I was lucky. He even got mortared while we were on the phone once and abruptly hung up. I didn’t hear from him for almost two weeks after that incident. Every day I worried about his safety. I regretted all those times that he wanted to hang out with me and I was “too busy”. I felt so much guilt. By the grace of God he made it back home with only a few bumps and bruises and was one of the lucky ones that was able to “readjust” to home life. He got promoted to his current CSM rank during my junior year of college and he had to move to El Paso for an entire year for school. I had to take my spring semester finals early that year to be able to go to his graduation but I wasn’t going to miss it. When he walked across the stage, I yelled “GO DAD” from the audience because I was so proud of him...he still remembers that to this day💕 I say all of this to remind you that no matter how you feel about the military, as a country we should support every veteran - not just in word, but also in deed. We are forever in their debt for the sacrifices they make every single day...thank you for your service🇺🇸 HOOAH #veteransday #thankaveteran
Instagram post 2174268593343353419_27750405 <SWIPE LEFT> SUNDAY STYLE TIP: LAYERING DRESSES👗a great way to get more wear out of your summer dresses in the fall and winter months is to layer them. Adding a turtleneck or long sleeve tee under a slip dress is always a good look. BUT WHAT ABOUT SWEATERS AND HEAVIER KNITS?? There are two ways you could rock a sweater over a dress: 1. Wear the dress as is and layer the sweater over it. Here I wore this @zimmermann tank dress as is and layered a @zara turtleneck over it. To give even more of an illusion of separates I added my @gucci belt! 2. Tuck the top portion of the dress inside of the skirt and wear the sweater as usual. Swipe left to see a tutorial of how I did it step-by-step with this @topshop pinafore dress! Don’t forget to tag me and use the hashtag #CCBINSPIRED if you give my style tips a try!
Instagram post 2172767992201656471_27750405 I’m heading to @wholefoods to stock up on more @healthade kombucha...y’all need anything?? #tuesday2ways #onmywaytostealyourkombucha #leatheroutfit #otkboots
Instagram post 2171335088426757011_27750405 On some Wednesdays I wear pink💕Funny story about this @joie coat. I ordered it online from @saks last year and when it arrived at my house I wasn’t happy about it. I didn’t realize how pink it was. Pink is my favorite color but I thought it would be more of a blush color rather than baby pink. I’m glad I kept it though as it’s a fun pop of color with my winter white and charcoal grey pieces. The only drawback is that because it’s so light that I’m constantly having to have it cleaned🥴WHAT’S A PIECE IN YOUR CLOSET THAT YOU ALMOST RETURNED BUT YOU’RE GLAD THAT YOU DIDN’T?? #cocoabutterdiaries #luxuryblogger #sfblogger
Instagram post 2170561890479274393_27750405 OTK BOOTS YOU’RE UP🤸🏾‍♀️y’all went hard for boots in last week’s poll but it lost by one vote to the camel coat. But since the vote was so close I decided to style them anyway...plus y’all know I LOVE my boots😁for this weeks #tuesday2ways I styled @gianvitorossi leather OTK boots for work and play. WHICH LOOK IS YOUR FAVORITE?? ———— Outfit 1: @asos sweater dress, @chanelofficial belt, @gucci clutch (it’s actually my belt bag but I took the belt off) Outfit 2: @iroparis leather jacket, @zadigetvoltaire distressed tee and leather mini skirt, @gucci Dionysus shoulder bag
