  • Happy First day of fall!!! Welcome to my favorite season for all things style. I love that I can layer, dress sets like this up or down & make a statement. I've been saying I wanted to create more fashion content, so fall seemed like the perfect start & here is my first voice over reel 🙈 do you want to see more content like this? Sound off below! Fit ♡ @shopmujerx Ideas for styling ▪︎add jewelry ▪︎add a fannypack or cute backpack OR just wear as is or however YOU want, because all that matters is how you feel in your own style 😉 • #ootdbostonian #boston #bostonbloggers #discoverunder10k #Browngirlswhoblog #blackownedbusiness #Blackowned #lowellma #lowellmass #shopsmall #supportsmallbusiness #explorepage #streetwear #streetstyle #styleinspo #accesorize #detailsmatter #boricua #hispanicheritagemonth #latinabloggers #latinaowned
  • The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts was was perfect rainy day activity & I loved all the art I saw. Art is such a tool for knowledge, it gives you insight into someone's ideas, thoughts and soul and can connect you to others. Go to a museum, art installation or find the street art where you are.....what kind of art speaks to you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📍@mbamtl⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fit ▪︎ Shirt @hm ▪︎ Shorts @marshalls ▪︎ Sneaks @reebok⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • El Don Frappe or otherwise known as the place with amazing shakes & Puerto Rican fried food 🙆🏾‍♀️ Perfect way to start #hispanicheritagemonth is to support a Hispanic/Latino business!! (It started a few days ago and goes until October 15th!) . . 📍El Don Frappe, Leominster, MA Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Ferrero Rocher Milkshake . . #milkshakes #centralma #leominsterma #eatlocal #shoplocal #feastagram #explorepage #candy #cereal #bostonfoodies #lowellma #bostonma #worcester #eeeeeats #lifeasamaven #foodblogfeed #bestfoodfeed #mavenendorsed #cinnamontoastcrunch
  • What an absolute treat to be invited to this very special brunch hosted by @forkingwitharmani where we learned from the incredible @chefjoegatto (& his son) how to make fresh mozzarella, fresh pasta and Tortellini. We had an incredible 3 course meal that literally had us drooling & left with the best goodie bags. Fun fact: I first met Chef Joe a few years ago at the Lowell Food & Wine Festival when he came to do some demos, and to see where he and his family are now makes me so happy! From a TV show ( @fromscratch.tv ) to cooking for the @redsox and @celtics it has been an honor to see. Loved meeting more of Armani's friends, catching up with @nichjoss & @bostonfoodbae & sharing this whole experience with Bae. • 📍Waterfront Lofts at Boott Mills • #lowellma #bostonfoodies #bostoneats #shop978 #bruschetta #italianfood #freshmozzarella #fromscratch #freshpasta #newhampshirefoodies#forkfeed #forkyeah #foodstagram #bestfoodfeed #lowelleats #lowellmass #eatlocal #supportlocal #shopsmall #eatwell #bostonfoodies #bostoneats #bostonfood #foodgasmic #spicyfood #Browngirlswhoblog #discoverunder10k

  • I don't know that I can fully explain how delicious this meal was but If you happen to be in Montréal run & try. My plate in particular was out of this world.
