First, a huge thank you to my sister Avon and mark. fashion blogger Word of Alicia for inviting me to do this blog collaboration, featuring this post on her blog and pushing me to do something new and different – this has been a blast! Make sure to check out her blog – it’s definitely worth subscribing! You can also find more of (and follow) her on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest!

Now, without further ado…

What would you do if you won an entire collection of Paris inspired jewelry? Have a fashion shoot, right?! Throw on your scarves and hold on to your berets while I take you along a bit of my fashion shoot of Avon’s Fall for Paris jewelry line…and some of their clothing!

This is a classic Parisian look featuring the Mila Dress accessorized with the Choker Necklace and Stud Earring Trio (I picked the clusters) from the Diamondesque line and Gunmetal Coil Bracelet from the Contemporary Beads Collection. The dress is a beautiful herringbone tweed in a neutral grey with an adorable ruffle along the hem – a very feminine, but not girly, touch. What I love most about this dress is its flexibility to dress it up for a night out or sensibly for work and just about any other occasion you can imagine. Accessories alone set the tone for this piece.

Some people stop right there in their self-scenting mission, but most usually add on a scented body lotion, body spray, body oil and/or a perfume to complete their own unique scent. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you’d like depending on your preferences. Continue reading

How I Started Blogging:

I actually started blogging for my law firm several years ago as a marketing technique that turned into a fun creative outlet. When I moved my Avon side gig into high gear in 2015, I figured I ought to add a blog at some point for the same reasons. Since this is my own blog, I get to do whatever I want which, in some ways, is difficult. So, in 2016 I started researching everything blog related. Continue reading

For those of you Avon reps handing out brochures, one giant tip you should know about is labeling your books. Every campaign I have 4-5 labels on the main brochure – 3 of them askew on the front! Why? Because people notice things that are unexpected and out of place! (Side tip: Want to be noticed in a large crowd of strangers? Wear your name tag vertical or upside down!) I place the following labels on my books:
