Birthday Post Q & A

October 31, 2018November 12, 2018by The Style Lynn Life2 Comments

Ahhhh, October 31st. The day I thought everyone was dressing up in costumes, handing out candy and in the best mood all because of me…until I was about 5 years old and realized it was actually a day people called, Halloween LOL

In natural Roselyn fashion, I was preparing for this birthday post about a day ago 🙂 and asked you guys to throw out some questions that you would like me to answer. Below I answered the most frequently asked questions plus some other fun ones. I hope you all enjoy and I hope it helps you guys get to know me more!

birthday-blog-post

Q. What did I want to be when I was younger?

A. I remember always telling everyone I wanted to be a model until I was about 8 and then somewhere around 10 I decided I wanted to be a lawyer, lol.

Q. What did I go to school for?

A. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I actually ended up trying to go into dental hygiene my first year of college. My mom wanted me to end up in the medical field I figured dental hygiene was a happy medium for the both of us. The day they brought in a cat for me to dissect I knew I was not about that life. I immediately gave into my passion for fashion and applied for a Fashion Merchandising program. My mom was a little sad at first and really didn’t understand what exactly I was trying to do but she supported it and we both couldn’t be happier now. So long story long, I have my degree in Fashion Merchandising.

two-piece-outfit-trend

Q. What brought me to Texas

A. I always laugh a little on the inside when someones asks me this. Because I don’t want to get into the whole back story I usually tell people I moved here for work but honestly I moved to Houston for an ex-fiance. That did not end up working out but I couldn’t be happier that I ended up staying here. Everything truly happens for a reason.

Q. How did I and Brandon meet?

A. Brandon and I met through mutual friends. We were friends for a few years before we actually started dating. True story is that I was way more into him than he was me, lol but then he finally came around 🙂

Q. Favorite Hair Products

A. You all know I love trying new products all the time but currently my favorite shampoo and conditioner is from Pantene, favorite dry shampoo is this one by OGX and fav hairspray is this one by Moroccan oil.

Q. Favorite Places To Shop?

A. I am an equal opportunity shopper so if you have been following along from some time now you know that I can do some damage in both Nordstrom and Walmart. I love hunting for styles in boutiques and I love finding a good deal (for the both of us!) but if I had to name my top 5 they would be Target, Nordstrom, Asos, Shein and Loft stores.

Shopper tip: I finally added a “Where I Shop” section on the sidebar of my blog. If you click on any of those links to shop, I will get credit/commission from that retailer. A lot of you are so sweet and ask for links so that I get credit. This is an easier way to navigate to a certain retailer instead of having to search through blog posts to find the link in a post. I even get credit if you click on an item in my post and end up buying an item outside of what I linked. That’s just FYI. So again, THANK YOU for shopping through my blog and my links!

matching-set-outfit

Q. One beauty product I can’t live without?

A. Omg, this one is so hard. Do lash extensions count? Haha. Honestly, if I was stranded on an island and could only have one thing I would have to choose my aquaphor advanced therapy. So random I know but I use it all day everyday.

Q. Why did we choose to adopt?

A. Long story short, my husband and I always wanted to adopt. Our plan was to try and conceive first and then adopt our second baby but our plan changed a bit. Again, I truly believe everything happens for a reason and we are so happy. You can read more about our adoption story here.

Q. When will we reveal baby Weaver’s name and face?

A. Ahhh, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I PROMISE! We are finally over the biggest hurdle and now just have to process the adoption paperwork. Trust me, I am just as eager to share than you guys are to see!

Q. Starbucks order?

A. This changes all the time but lately I have been getting the salted caramel cold brew.

Q. Where do I work out?

A. At my office gym, Ryde, Ride and Yoga Works.

Q. What company do you work for?

A. I’ve talked about what I do a few different times. I work in Supply Chain Management as a Procurement Manager. But I have never mentioned the company I work for. I know this may sound weird but I feel like telling the world exactly where I work is like giving someone my home address. I’m sure after me sharing tidbits about my company, one could Google but honestly I just feel weird putting it out there.

Q. Do I have plans to blog full time?

A. Ahhh, the million dollar question. I have gone back and forth on this so many times. If I disliked my company and current role I probably would say yes in a heartbeat. RoselynWeaver.com has provided us so many opportunities that I only dreamed of 3 years ago but I truly love the people I work with and I enjoy what I do. Plus they provide such great flexibility when needed that it would be hard for me to leave. More corporations should follow their lead on this. I work from home one day a week, they are so family oriented and again the people I work with on a day to day basis make my job seem so far from work. So the answer is I don’t know lol. Maybe I will need more sleep now that I am 35 but until then I am okay putting in my hours towards the blog from 9pm-3am with photoshoots on my lunch break 🙂 Yes, I may have a breakdown once a quarter but #worth it haha

Q. Do you make money blogging?

A. Yes. I talked a little about that in this post. Influencer Marketing is huge and is just growing. There are so many different ways to make money blogging. Hustle hard and the potential is endless.

Outfit Details: Top: Red Dress Boutique (wearing a small)| Pants: Red Dress Boutique (wearing a small)| Shoes: DSW

Q. How long have I been blogging?

A. A little over 3 years.

Q. My pet peeves?

A. Lol, I wrote a little on this top here.

Q. Favorite Quote?

A. Do unto others as you want done unto you.

Q. What race am I?

A. 100% filipina.

Okay friends, I will end this Q&A sesh here but this was sooo much fun! I love reading things that you guys were curious about. One of the things I didn’t answer here is “who is my favorite blogger?” I love this question but truthfully there are so many bloggers I follow for so many different reasons! You guys have inspired me to do a series on this. I think I’ll share on Instagram stories. I’ll keep you posted on that!

Thank you all so much for the great questions and just for being so great.period. ILYSM!

5 Must Have Shoe Trends For Fall

October 25, 2018November 22, 2018by The Style Lynn Life13 Comments

This post is sponsored by DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse. All opinions expressed in this post are mine.

Hey beauties! I am super excited about today’s post because I am talking about one of our most favorite things! SHOES! More specifically, I am talking about the 5 hottest shoe trends you need this Fall season!

Shoes play an essential role in every outfit. Whether you are styling an outfit for work or the weekend, your shoes complete your look! Luckily, I am partnering up with DSW today to point you and your shoes in the right direction!

fall-shoe-trends

Leopard Print

Of course I had to start with leopard print first! Whether you are a sneaker lover, a boot lover, or a heels lover; you need a pair in leopard print! I personally love these Sam Edelman heels because they make any outfit look chic! You can wear them with a skirt and graphic tee like I did below or you can style leopard print to the office without being “too loud” for the work place. That is what I love about shoes and accessories. Being able to try a trend like leopard print in a small way when it’s out of your typical comfort zone.

LEOPARD PRINT SHOE TREND LEOPARD PRINT HEELS

Here are leopard print options for every shoe lover:

2. Over The Knee Boot

Fall season after Fall season I boycotted this trend. Not because I didn’t love over the knee boots but because I couldn’t find the perfect pair that didn’t look like they were wearing me. Do you know what I mean? I ordered a pair last year that looked like it swallowed my whole leg and then I ordered a pair that I couldn’t even get past my calves, lol. Oh, the struggles of being a girl! Once I found the perfect pair, I realized what the hype was all about! These Vince Camuto over the knee boots were love at first sight. Not only did they fit my leg perfectly but I don’t need a village to help me get them off! The easiest way to style over the knee boots is just like I did below. With skinny jeans and a cute sweater! You can easily dress them up with a cute sweater dress as well!

over-the-knee-boots comfortable-over-the-knee-boots OTK-boots

Because I know not one OTK boot will fit all, I am sharing various options below:

3. Kitten Heel Mules

Kitten heel mules give such a chic and sophisticated look to any outfit, like these Vince Camuto ones! I have a girlfriend who hates, I mean HATES, wearing heels and I finally convinced her to buy a pair of kitten heels and now she’s hooked! It’s the tiniest add of height but makes a huge difference in dressing up your outfit. Kitten heels are great if you are uncomfortable walking in higher heels as this style is typically lower than three inches but for this season they are a must have for all! I saw them so much during New York Fashion Week which was genius because you are running from show to show and from meeting to meeting in comfort and style.

KITTEN HEELS kitten-heel-mules pink-heels

Kitten Heel Mules in every color:

4. Block Heels

Another must have shoe trend for Fall and comfortable style are block heels! This Kelly & Katie block heel looks extra chic in combination with a pointy toe. They are perfect for your nine to five but can also effortlessly be styled with jeans and a cardigan like I styled below. This burgundy color is always hot for the Fall season so you kind of get a two in one trend with this block heel!

Here are some other great block heel options:

5. Chunky Dad Sneakers

Okay, so I saved this hot, hot, HOT trend for last because I know so many of us, including myself, were initially intimidated by this shoe trend. “Is it a fad?” “How do I even style those?” All questions I asked myself and you may have asked yourself too. I ordered them and girl… I love them!! These Fila “dad sneakers” instantly give your look an effortless cool girl vibe and who wouldn’t want that?! Because I know a lot of you girls may still be a little iffy on this shoe trend, I am sharing two different and easily achievable ways to style this shoe trend below.

Additional Chunky Sneaker options (loving the metallic ones!):

Alright ladies, now I want to hear what is your favorite shoe trend for Fall and what is one shoe trend you haven’t tried yet?!

Funny + Inspirational Mommyhood Quotes

October 19, 2018October 19, 2018by The Style Lynn LifeLeave a Comment

Happy Friday loves! Sometimes I browse Pinterest when I can’t sleep (who is with me?!) and I recently pinned some fun and inspirational Mom quotes that I wanted to share with all you mama friends of mine!

Outfit Details: Tee: Francesca’s (this is sold out so I am linking similar ones below) | Leggings: Spanx | Adidas Shoes: DSW (love the color so much!) | Sunglasses: Quay

Mom Tees:

If you caught my Instagram stories yesterday, you saw that our morning started off a bit rough. Honestly, it was the smallest thing that finally made me breakdown and cry but it was so much needed, lol. I was trying to hide the feeling that I was overwhelmed and it needed to be out there. I cried it out, Brandon came to the rescue per usual and then I ended the night with so many amazing, Godly women. Baby Weaver getting his fruit pouch all over the car yesterday is what made me breakdown but he is the last thing that stresses me out. It was the fact that I overbooked my morning because I knew I was going to be out of the office in the afternoon, it was the fact that I had to shoot a campaign at lunch that was already a day late, it was the fact that I was supposed to be preparing to speak that night to a room full of women so that they could feel inspired and rejuvenated all while I was feeling so stressed, it was the fact that I was simply.doing.too.much.

Being a mom has been my greatest blessing. It’s kind of crazy to think that even if I had to give up all of my other successes to be a Mom, I would do it in a heartbeat. Baby Weaver brings me so much joy, makes me feel loved like no other and brings the biggest smile to my face even after the hardest of moments or day. Honestly, the cry was much needed yesterday. I cried all the way to the office if you were wondering lol. You guys were sending the sweetest messages yesterday. My sweet friend Cynthia even said “I heard crying cleans out your eyes so you need that every once in a while”. Is that true? Or were you just trying to make me feel better? lol. Either way it worked.

Anyway….sorry I completely got off topic there. Today I want to share Mom quotes that I can relate to oh so much! Some funny and some inspirational. I hope you enjoy them too!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month x JCPenney

October 12, 2018October 14, 2018by The Style Lynn Life1 Comment

The month of October is so important to me for so many reasons. Did you know that over 250,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year? If you know us personally, or have been a reader friend for some time now you know that my beautiful Mom is a breast cancer survivor. I talked a little bit about it in this post I wrote back in 2016. In light of Breast Cancer Awareness month I want to highlight companies and brands that are doing their part to spread awareness and are contributing in any way that they can!

JCPenney has many different promotions going on that all drive support to this very important cause. I am very happy to be partnering up with JCPenney this month to help spread the word on their various promotions. #SephoraInJCP is inviting everyone in to find their “perfect pink” lip color to spread awareness of this important cause! Sharing some photos below of the pink shades that were my favorites from my latest visit. I may or may not have come home with all of them LOL.

The shade I am wearing is Marc Jacobs Lip Crayon in color “send nudes”. Color swatches from top (closet to my hand) to bottom are Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in color alpha, Marc Jacobs Lip Crayon in color pink straight, Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in color back talk, Huda Beauty Demi Matte Cream Lip in color SheEO (cutest name ever!) and last but not least Huda Beauty Demi Matte Cream Lip in color Game Changer. I actually started using Huda Beauty lip products after fashion week and I love, LOVE the formula! Sephora in JCP has a mini set here too which is great for trying out a few different shades or perfect for gifting!

While you are at Sephora inside JCP be sure to stop by the salon where they will be accepting donations for the entire month of October. Each customer that donates will have the opportunity to win a basket of Salon goodies!! Also, on October 20th and 21st, 20% of ALL salon sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Honestly you guys I haven’t had my hair done at a JCP salon in ages but I am totally going to schedule a blow out just for this cause. Might as well right?! Houston gals, let me know if you want to have a girls date!

One of the other things they are doing for the entire month is donating $2 from each City Streets BCAM screen tee sold.

So I hope you all join me in doing our small part to help contribute in a major way! If you go in to find your perfect pink, visit the #jcpsalon or purchase a BCAM screen tee let me know! I would love to hear plus I wanna see what your perfect pink shade is! Click here to find a Sephora in JCPenney near you!

Mom’s First New York Fashion Week

September 21, 2018September 21, 2018by The Style Lynn Life2 Comments

Happy Friday! I got a cutie on the blog today! One I call Mom and baby Weaver calls Lola! 🙂 As you know, Mom attended her first fashion week this year and fit in oh so well! We may or may not have coordinated our outfits, haha! I absolutely adore my Mom and to be able to bring her along for a fashion week experience meant so much to me and her too.

Today I am sharing our coordinating looks 🙂 , some of her fashion week agenda plus a few things that will make you LOL

I was so fortunate this year to have worked with many agencies repeatedly that most of my invites were for a front row seat. So naturally Mom got to sit front row, receive swag bags, got all her photos taken by the photographer, etc. I was like “Mom, just know I didn’t have all this front row goodness my first show!” haha. She was loving it.

Mom also attended the Vogue Magazine x Kendra Scott party with me. She got to design her own charm earrings with the KS team and when they handed them to her she was like “these are free?” LOL. My Mom was cracking me up so much during fashion week. I literally need to write a post titled “overheard by Mila at fashion week”.

Outfit Details:

Mom: Jumpsuit: Forever 21 | Heels: DSW | Sunglasses: American Eagle (similar)

If you know my Mom at all you know that she is the sweetest, most loving and outgoing woman. But you probably also know that she is as blunt as they come. Not in a rude way, just in a Filipino, no filter kind of way, haha. There was a girl that had a huge, I mean HUGE (and gorgeous!) diamond ring on talking about how her husband designed it for her and my Mom responded with “is that real?” O…M…G… I literally just stood there for a moment didn’t even know what to do. After I picked my jaw off the floor and realized the girl didn’t respond I was just like yes, it’s real Mom then I tell the girl “your ring is stunning”, grab my Mom and just move onto the rest of the party and accept the fact we had an enemy in the room now, lol. It’s hilarious now but honestly I was terrified because I didn’t want that person to think my Mom was rude (she’s not at all!) she was just asking an honest question that other people may have been thinking.

Another funny thing that happened with Mom was we were at a fashion show and both people sitting next to us were videoing live on their Instagram and Facebook accounts. This outfit comes down the runway in front of us and Mom says “hmmm, no one is going to like that”. I didn’t know if we were going to get kicked out of there or if someone was going to hire her! Ahhhh, never a dull moment with my Mama!

We seriously had the best time and you can see why she kept me laughing the whole time. She kept telling me how thankful she was that she got to come and that just meant the world to me guys. When I first booked her flight out to NYC I was stressing out a little because fashion week is go, go, go. It’s not all glam life like it seems. I have back to back meetings, running all over the city and I just wanted to make sure I could schedule as much time as I could with my mom during this time. I am so thankful my aunt and cousins live in New York because they were able to take her to do all the tourist things while I was at meetings!

This might be too deep for a Friday but honestly, I am just at a point in my life that I know our time with our loved ones are limited and I will basically do anything my parents and family ask of me because we may never get that moment again. You know what I mean? So stressing out about schedules, having to pay for multiple hotel rooms, multiple Uber rides to my aunts house and back into the city were just minor things compared to the memories we created during such a special time with the most special person!

For some moments, we only get one chance.

Floral Suit Athleisure Style

September 17, 2018September 17, 2018by The Style Lynn LifeLeave a Comment

Happy Monday beautiful people! Did you have an amazing weekend? I sure hope so! As you probably already know we celebrated my sweet husbands birthday this weekend. And you probably know that because literally that’s all I talked about and shared on stories all weekend, lol! Sorry for the birthday overload! I just clearly love birthdays, especially when we get to show the ones we love how much we love them!

Today I am sharing one of my favorite outfits from New York Fashion Week! This matching floral suit paired with an Adidas bodysuit.

Outfit Details: Floral Blazer: ASOS | Floral Pants: ASOS | Adidas Bodysuit: ASOS (also I know they call it a bodysuit but it’s totally a bathing suit! 🙂 ) but I was okay with that because now I can wear it as a swimsuit! | Handbag: DSW | Heels: Steve Madden | Sunglasses: Quay

I know not everyone would see a completely floral suit and say “I need it” but I am one of those people lol and I loved this suit as soon as it came in. I had to get it hemmed though because I’m only 5’3″ but other than that I love the fit! I am totally going to wear this to work with a plain black or white cami. The Adidas bodysuit was just the perfect touch for this New York Street Style. I am normally a 4 but had to size up one size in all 3 Asos pieces for reference!

So we had such a great weekend celebrating the hubs but I definitely overcommitted on so much (but what’s new?) and now this week is going to be crazy. Tuesday and Wednesday I will be at an annual offsite meeting with our management team and then when I get back Wednesday I gotta pack up the whole fam again for a little family trip and church trip we have had planned. It’s like I say yes to all the things and then later just figure out how I can make it work, lol. Anywho, it was kind of nice prepping for this family trip because we will be doing a lot of kid and outdoor activites so I’m packing a lot of casual wear which is complete opposite from what I packed for NYC. My feet need a little break, haha!

I hope you guys all have an amazing week!

Being Married To A Blogger

September 14, 2018September 14, 2018by The Style Lynn Life4 Comments

God bless the men who marry bloggers! I mean poor Brandon didn’t even sign up for this! We got married and then a year later, I was like GOTCHA! lol. Today is his birthday so I wanted to share some funny things about being married to a blogger. He helped me with some of these which makes this post even better!

family-photos-outside — He only loves his bed and his mama, I’m not sorry 🙂

Outfit Details

Mine: Tee: Etsy | Jeans: Abercrombie & Fitch | Heels: DSW | Handbag: DSW

Brandon: Polo: Express | Jeans: Express | Shoes: DSW

Baby Weaver: Button Up: Old Navy and personalized by Craft N Creations | Jeans: Target | Shoes: DSW | Sunglasses: H&M

When We Ask You To Take A Picture We Mean Take 100 Of Them. From different angles, close up, far away, a few of me walking. If I’m not looking at the camera, don’t stop. That’s a pose. Brandon has learned to just keep shooting. One time there was someone walking by, asked Brandon the time and Brandon checked the time and told the guy without even missing a beat. He was still taking my pictures, lol. He’s mastered the task at this point.

If we go out to eat please don’t eat your food right away. Let me get a pic first. Possibly even a cheers boomerang if we are having a cocktail. And if that means I have to stand up on my tippy toes to get the perfect aerial shot, just let me be. The faster I get the shot, the faster you can eat your meal. 🙂

Your mailbox will always be full. There are packages at our door daily. Your dining room or whatever room is closest to your front door becomes a mailroom.

We expect you to become best friends with other Instagram husbands. I have met some of my best friends through blogging. It’s because we are passionate about the same things and we understand eachother. We will spend a lot of time with eachother and we just want you to enjoy the other husbands as much as we enjoy eachother, lol.

I know there are a lot more annoying things that Brandon could have shared about being married to a blogger but he was being pretty nice LOL.

If you see this sweet man today be sure to wish him a Happy Birthday! Babe, we love you so, so much and thank God for you every single day! We can’t wait to celebrate you all weekend!
