Frugal But Chic

Hey Besties!! ❤️

I’m back!! 🥹❤️

First, I just want to say THANK YOU for your patience, your sweet messages, and for continuing to show up for me even when I’ve been a little quiet over here. I’ve missed you all!

As some of you know, I traveled to California to spend time with my sister and her family as they welcomed their newest little blessing. What was supposed to be a shorter trip turned into a longer stay than I originally planned, but sometimes life calls for us to be present in ways we didn’t anticipate. And honestly, I wouldn’t trade that time with my family for anything. ❤️

I’m sharing a few pictures from my time away to give you a little glimpse into what I’ve been up to! So many highlights from my trip I got to volunteer at my nieces school and be the mystery reader for each of the twins classes.

I’m realizing that I may need a little help behind the scenes. As I look ahead to 2027, that’s something I’m hoping to explore so I can create more consistently while still making room for all the other parts of life.

And speaking of creating, I’ve been busy working on some content that I can’t wait to share with you! We have some fun styling videos coming, a little shopping our closets, and I’m also excited about a couple of upcoming brand collaborations! I’m looking forward to introducing you to some pieces, sharing how I would style them, and of course, giving you my thoughts along the way. You already know we’re going to keep it authentic over here! ❤️

I’m especially grateful for these opportunities because your support is such a big part of what makes them possible. Every video you watch, comment you leave, and conversation we have helps this little community continue to grow. And I never take that for granted.

Thank you for giving me grace during this little break and for being such a special part of this journey. I have so many ideas for Frugal But Chic, and I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead!

Now, enough about me! 😂 How have you all been? What’s new in your world? I feel like we have some catching up to do!

Love you, Besties! ❤️

Hey Besties! ❤️

Just popping in because I miss chatting with you all! 🥰

Whew, my 9–5 has been kicking my butt lately! And as you know, I’m a one-woman show over here. From coming up with ideas to filming, editing, and everything in between, your girl has been BUSY! But this little community we’ve built means so much to me, and staying connected and consistent with you all is really important.

I’m currently editing two videos and hoping to get one out to you this weekend. Fingers crossed!

In the meantime, you know I love sharing little bits of life with you. Last weekend, one of my good girlfriends hosted a girls’ night in, and when I tell you WE HAD A TIME!

We call her the “hostess with the mostest,” and she absolutely lived up to her title! From welcome drinks and an amazing meal to the beautifully decorated table, every little detail was so thoughtful. And besties, she even had personalized slippers for each of us to wear around the house AND take home! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with personalized to-go bags with our names on the labels! I mean, talk about the DETAILS! This woman thought of EVERYTHING!

It was one of those evenings that reminds you how special it is to slow down, laugh, eat good food, and spend time with your girlfriends. Sometimes those are the moments we need most.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in, say hello, and remind you that I haven’t forgotten about my besties! Not even a little bit. I appreciate each and every one of you for being here, whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or just recently found this little corner of YouTube.

Now tell me, when was the last time you had a good old-fashioned girls’ night? Or are you the hostess with the mostest in your friend group?

Sending you all lots of love, and I’ll see you soon! 💕

Besties, I have to tell you something. 🥹

I knew this Fashion Archives video was a little different for my channel, but I wasn’t prepared for the conversations happening in the comments. Some of you remember Fashion Fair from your mothers and grandmothers. One bestie actually attended an Ebony Fashion Fair show. And so many of you are telling me you had no idea about some of these women and want MORE.

This is exactly why I wanted to make this video. ❤️
There are so many incredible stories behind the fashion we know and love. In this first Fashion Archives, we’re talking Eunice Johnson, Bethann Hardison and Ann Lowe…and bestie, their stories are GOOD.
If you haven’t watched yet, come go down this rabbit hole with me. And when you’re done, tell me which story surprised you the most. 👀

Besties, today’s video is running a little behind because your girl is still editing 😂 It’ll be up either late tonight or tomorrow morning, but in the meantime I had to share a little bit of last night with you.

I attended The Company We Keep Supper Club, a quarterly dinner experience centered around beautiful design, incredible chefs and amazing food.

Last night celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month and featured Chef Analisse White of Orgullo and Soul, and when I tell you EVERYTHING was so beautifully done. The florals, the tablescape, the personalized details…and the FOOD! 😍 It was beyond amazing. I am still thinking about the food and the conversations.

I’m realizing more and more that I want to make room for experiences like this, getting dressed, going somewhere beautiful, trying something new and just enjoying the moment.

Now let me get back to editing! See you either later tonight or tomorrow morning, besties! ❤️

Good morning, besties! I haven’t forgotten about you. 💞
We had family in town this weekend celebrating my husband’s birthday, so I didn’t get a chance to edit. But I’m getting myself together and finishing up editing the video today and tomorrow.
I’ll see you later this week, besties! Hope you have a great Monday! ❤️

Happy Sunday, Besties

There won’t be a new video today. I’ve been busy getting everything ready for an upcoming vacation and just wasn’t able to get the editing finished in time.

Thank you for always being here and giving me grace when life gets a little full. I’ll be back soon with a new video, and I can’t wait to catch up with you all.

Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 💕

If you haven’t had a chance to watch my latest video yet, come vintage shopping with me as I explore a few of my favorite Virginia vintage stores and share some fun finds along the way. I’d love to know which piece was your favorite!

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures in this community! 💙

There won’t be a new video today as I’m spending time with family, but I wanted to stop by and wish everyone celebrating a wonderful day.

A special Happy Father’s Day to my husband, whose love, patience, and dedication to our family mean more than words can express.

Enjoy your day, and I’ll see you in the next video! 😊

A little late, but today’s video is finally live ☺️

Come spend the day with me as I style a few summer pieces, pick up fresh flowers, enjoy time with family, and share a little bit of real life behind the outfits.

Sometimes my favorite videos aren’t the perfectly planned ones, they’re the ones that capture everyday moments.

Question: Do you enjoy seeing more lifestyle content mixed in with fashion, or do you prefer styling-focused videos?
