A round up of March instagram posts + a little about life lately!

It’s been about forever since I did an Instagram round up and shared life lately. And by about forever, I mean almost a whole year. Whoops! Therefore, it’s about time I did one. Today I’ll be sharing my most recent Instagram photos, links to items featured in each image, and a little about life lately! One of the main reasons that I decided to step up my Instagram game was when my friend recommended I looked into a company like Buzzoid.com. I was struggling a little, but until I found that I didn’t have to feel the pressure of social media and building my follow count, I was able to relax a lot and post content I was proud of, without the stress off keeping up with everyone else in the social media world. I’ve heard that social media account managers from Upleap.com have helped many people drive their likes, followers and engagement on Instagram. With this being said, make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom as I’ll be sharing some of the items I’m swooning over right now.

This image is from an event I attended at City Lights Rooftop one Saturday afternoon earlier month. It was here I had the opportunity to meet The Bowtie Gent and try the famous champagne + popsicle cocktail.

This is one of my favorite looks from last month. These overalls give me life! I am obsessed with them. Which I’m sure you have come to realize from this post and this one.

Another shot from the event at City Lights Rooftop. I absolutely love my city! I promise this isn’t the full skyline…there’s also cranes everywhere. Charlotte is growing!

Lately, I have been even more addicted to sweets than usual. This post featured three ways to decorate a store bought cake. I had an absolute blast putting it together and even more fun trying out all of the cakes + toppings! Red Velvet Cake is a definite favorite of mine. What’s your favorite cake?

I recently had to replace my converses as I wore them SO much last summer, fall, and winter and dirty wouldn’t begin to describe them. This fresh white pair is bound to have the same thing happen to them. If you’re looking for a go to pair of sneakers for the new season, I highly recommend these. You’ll find yourself reaching for them all the time!

I shared this photo from The Blog Societies recent workshop in the D.C. area. I wasn’t able to attend but am hoping the next one will be in Charlotte. When I shared this photo I asked if y’all would be interested in hearing more about my experience as blogger conferences. I received SO many yeses that this post will be coming to louellareese.com in the next two weeks. If you have any specific questions, please comment with them below or email me at [email protected].

How fab are these sunnies? They look extremely similar to this Prada pair and this Celine pair but they’re a fraction of the price. I mean a small fraction! Total win. They have quickly become my go to pair. The best part is they’re really dark aka perfect for people watching! Who else loves really dark glasses for this reason?

This little bistro set was a gift Joshua and I recently received. I have wanted a bistro set for our kitchen since we moved in. We have a small nook that is laid out to have a kitchen table but by no means has the actual space for a typical table. This little set is pure perfection in the space and I cannot get enough of it. We’ve been skipping the dining room table and eating dinner here often. See on of our recent meals here.

This look is just so typically me…name that song! If you see me during the week when I’m not taking blog photos, at a meeting, or attending an event, you’ll find me in something very similar to this. And on the weekends, you better believe this is what I’m wearing!!

Just catching up on a little IG. Anyone else love mindlessly going through Instagram at the end of the day or during your lunch break?

I know this is not the best picture of these slides but I was so excited after purchasing them on Friday night, I had to share. These slides are bound to be my go to pair of shoes this Spring/Summer. They are under $100 and come in a variety of colors.
