As some of you may know, Short Pump Town Center is a little too conveniently placed near my house. Needless to say, I visit there quite often! Call it first-name basis or neighborly, many of the store vendors I consider my friends! I walk in and they know exactly which new items would appeal to me (this is a very double-edged sword!). 

As a fashion, beauty and lifestyle connoisseur, I am more than happy to partner with Short Pump Town Center to guide all of you dolls through the latest trends it has to offer!

Monochrome is stronger than ever this year. Dolls, not wearing white after Labor Day is a thing of the past, so I chose to go with monochrome in white! There is nothing more sophisticated than a well styled all-white outfit. Kendra Scott, Dillard’s, J. Crew and Tumi made this all possible in a stylish and effortless way!

I used to be hesitant to wear patterns, so layering patterns on patterns? I wasn’t completely on board with this trend. But as they always say, “You never know until you try!” My girls at South Moon Under know I have a closet full of body-con dresses. I think they are the perfect outfit staple to layer with! I loved this outfit with pieces from South Moon Under, Kate Spade, Alex and Ani and Versona. Each store is full of the perfect finishing touches to complete a stylishly patterned ensemble!

Stop and shop the lavender, dolls. Pantone’s color of the year is ultra violet. You know I will forever be a pink-loving girl, but changing things up with this season’s trending lavender color? So fun! Accessories from Sunglass Hut, Sephora, Dillard’s, Finks and Macy’s make this look as pretty as the flower, itself!

I will be the first to confess I like to look at flowers, not plant them. If I were to have a green thumb, it would be because I painted my nails a fresh mint green! However, I can not get enough fresh flowers inside of the POSH PR® studio! Shopping H&M for floral rompers and dresses is such a fun and feminine spring look! I love sticking with natural textiles when wearing a floral print. Free People has adorable flat leather sandals to pair with a cute basket weave handbag from Lily Rain! Finish the look off with jeweled earrings from Francesca’s and a touch of Prada from Sunglass Hut!

The way a woman dresses her house says just as much about who she is than her wardrobe does! After all, her style is a reflection of who she is comprehensively, reflecting who she is from the inside out! I love this quote:

“Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you’re wearing, it is how you wear it, who you are inside. It is the way you decorate your house, what you surround yourself with, what books you read and what your interests are.”

-Carolina Herrera

When it comes to covering the basis for comprehensive style, Short Pump Town Center has you covered! I love brightening up a room with home accessories like a serving tray from Lilly Pulitzer. Crate & Barrel and Arhaus are always full of the latest decorating trends to keep your home current and creative!  And last but not least, I love shopping for timeless items at Pottery Barn and yes, while I don’t have any of my own kids, a pretty mirror is a pretty mirror, dolls. I loved this find at Pottery Barn Kids!

I remember when Short Pump Town Center first opened. It was like the gates to fashion heaven!
