Breaking the Instagram Black Hole of Personal Comparison

I am many things, but first I am always human. When I first started blogging three and a half years ago I had no idea how many bloggers there were. On my personal Instagram account, I only followed my friends and family, no one else. No celebs, reality TV stars, actors, authors – I did not follow a soul that I didn’t personally know. So naturally, when I started my Simply by Simone account I started following other bloggers and my favorite celebrities. Which brought me deep into the black hole of personal comparison. Yes, some people are well off.…

Work Hard and Be Nice

Being a hard worker and also being a nice person should directly correlate. The harder you work the nicer you treat others. But that’s not always the case. More often now than ever do I talk to my friends about this topic. Some of the main issues are coworkers not making each other feel included, people not wanting to work collaboratively and seasoned employees not taking into consideration less experienced employees views. Please don’t take this topic the wrong way, the last thing I want this to sound like is a millennial complaining that people aren’t nice to me. Plus I…

Going for Gingham: One Look & Twenty-five Fabulous Gingham Pieces

Serious question: When it comes to gingham what came first, picnic blankets or clothing? Whatever the answer may be, what I do know is I love picnics as much as I love a gingham print. I’ve personally gone overboard, and I definitely don’t recommend it. This is only my opinion but I think that the fun check print may not last that long in the fashion world. Why? Because think of it like when a radio overplays an amazing song. You loved the song the first ten times you heard it in the past three days, now you’re over it.…

Bag: c/o Mon Purse In a world of fast fashion, I strive to be myself. Not different, but myself.

Do I think fast fashion retailers cater to your individuality? Absolutely not. They wouldn’t be producing thousands of each item if they thought only a few people would be purchasing them… So next, we enter the designer space. Many of whom offer reasonable prices for exceptional quality. During my…
