When in doubt, write it out.
Miami Night Out
There is nothing quite like a warm Miami night out and last Wednesday was no exception… Dani and I went to @bouchon_bistro – they just opened six months ago and this French bistro has become all the craze. So of course, in true Idalia fashion, I had to see if it’s worth the hype.

I’m so excited to announce that I’ve partnered with the JCA in London to bring a riveting short course to life this July…. both in their Mayfair campus as well as online. This course has been a long time coming, and it’s going to cater to both brands and influencers.

Let’s Talk About Gifting…
This is probably every influencer’s favorite word : gifting.

Does Happiness Have a Place in Fashion?
