“Hot girl summer” has a whole new meaning in t “Hot girl summer” has a whole new meaning in the south. Love this humidity for us. 🔥🤪 Had to snap a pic before we left yesterday because I knew I would be a mess by the time we got there. What’s the weather like where you are?

I am deeply obsessed with this dress. The cutouts are flattering and not too much and it really highlights your curves. You can also wear a real bra or a nursing bra with it and in the summer that is just ideal.

I’m wearing a L and it is roomy but still flattering. This dress is also on major sale today for $21! Linking it in the @shop.ltk app! https://liketk.it/3IA9s

There are some new faces around here so first of a There are some new faces around here so first of all, hello! Thank you so much for being here. 👋🏻 Please say “hello” in the comments and let me know your favorite beverage. You’ll learn quickly that I drink a LOT of Diet Coke. 🥤

I thought it might be a good idea to reintroduce myself. So here are a few quick facts about me!

1. I live just outside of Atlanta. I have bopped all over the Atlanta area and lived and worked on all sides of the city before happily settling down back in my hometown. I NEVER thought I would live in the same zip code where I grew up, but I love that this is where we have decided to put down roots and start our family.
2. Speaking of family, I met my husband, Stephen, in college. He was my blind date to a sorority party. (I’m a ZTA 🍓👑) We got married in October of 2016 and had our first baby (Benjamin) in March 2021! 
3. I also have two adorable pets, Molly and Mimosa. 🐶🐱 Mimosa was featured in the Atlanta Humane Society calendar last year as Miss May! ✨
4. I primarily share midsize style for the in-between bodies on my blog, Instagram and LTK app! I have been between sizes 8-16 over the past few years, so I know a few things about dressing a midsize body. I just released my midsize style guide yesterday, and you can instantly download it from my blog! (Helengbailey.com) 
5. As a former certified event planner, I love to share holiday and party planning inspo on my platforms. Halloween is my favorite though, and I have already started shooting Halloween content. 🕷 This year is going to be the biggest and best year yet! In addition to party planning ideas, Ben and I are sharing more mom and son costume ideas, and Ben in a costume is just my favorite! 😍

Thank you so, so much for being here! I work hard on this little side hustle and can’t keep it going without you. I’m so grateful for your engagement, clicks, likes and comments. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out! I LOVE to hear from you! Happy Friday! 💕

Make Your Office (or Cube) a Home

Office spaces are so important. If you spend 45 hours a week
in a room, it is absolutely imperative that you like that room. I try to make
my office a place where I can be productive, but also a place where I feel
comfortable. Here are a few personal touches to make your office a home.

–Add fresh blooms. Flowers make everyone happy. So I always
keep a bouquet of something on the corner of my desk. Poinsettias at Christmas,
Tulips for Easter, sunflowers in July. They just make my desk feel pretty.

-Surround yourself with people you love. I have pictures of
everyone in my office. My family, my fur babies, Stephen, my friends. They’re
all in there.
-Paint it. If your company allows you to paint your office
absolutely take advantage of that! My office walls are turquoise and metallic gold. I
love it.
-Sprinkle in a few accomplishments. Do you have something you
are particularly proud of? Maybe you designed something awesome or received a
plaque. It could even be a diploma or certificate, but add a few things you are
proud of to remind yourself how awesome you are.
-Provide snacks. If you want people to come visit then keep a
jar of candy somewhere in your office. You’ll be fighting them off with a
stick.
-Bring a few homey touches. I have everything from curvy Barbie
to French bulldog tape dispensers in my office. There is no mistaking when you
walk through the door that this room belongs to me.

What do you bring to work to make your office space feel like home?

    Photos, little trinkets and a snack drawer always help me with my space!

    Great tips! You definitely have to hide the snacks…mine disappear so quicky!!

    YES to fresh blooms! We have live plants here and I just LOVE them. I also burn candles, too… although I know in most offices you can't – thank god for wax melters now! 🙂

  4. Life with Lolo says

    February 9, 2016 at 4:08 pm

    I love this. I'm excited for my new job and re-creating a new work space for myself! I have a pink high-heel tape dispenser, a lacy design pencil holder and a big burlap bulletin board in my office now. But in my new one? The possibilities are endless!

    I wish I could paint! My office is so white!!! However it's great for taking "desk bloggy" photos. I have some flowers in my cube and I try to keep lots of pictures around.

  6. Kristen @ See You In A Porridge says

    February 9, 2016 at 8:32 pm

    love of all of these! i am out the front so i can't do anything, no pictures, no frames, no nothing. womp womp. i can play music of my choice though, so i do, and that makes me happy 🙂

  7. Nadine Lynn says

    February 9, 2016 at 9:15 pm

    So I have zero pictures or anything pretty in my cube other than a pink bucket with hearts on it that holds my pen…and a flower calendar on the wall. lol

    Ahh your office sounds so fun and cute! We aren't allowed to decorate ours and everyday I think to myself "Gosh this is boring." I spend all kinds of time browsing things I wish I could decorate with.
