Bubbles and Banter

On today's episode, my friend and fellow content creator Bryanna Bach of Coming in Clutch joins me to discuss some of the most iconic and memorable fashion trends from the past decade! There were some interesting fashions that made their way into our closets in the 2010s and although these pieces may be long gone from your life, thanks to the internet, the memories aren't going away anytime soon. From Crocs to flower crowns, we cover trends that went from being everywhere to nowhere, and some that have evolved with time. We also talk about upcoming fashion trends for 2020 and what we think is going to be in style for the year ahead!

Today I'm in my new podcast setup sitting on my big green couch in my living room! Megan Sullivan of With Grace B. Bold and I chat about her company, which offers stylish and functional tops for women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati's DAAP program, where she studied fashion design and talks about what it was like going through the program, the inspiration behind her creating this top and company, and future products she has planned for the brand!

Ranting about the Instagram ban I've been experiencing for a week and my theory behind the ban. I also discuss my joy over the news that Lizzie McGuire is coming back and Hilary Duff will be reprising her iconic Disney role! Real Housewives of Orange County is back with new cast member Braunwyn and Vicki Gunvalson being demoted. Below Deck is wrapping up and chef Ben will be making an appearance to help bring good food back to the yacht.

Today I'm interviewing Marisa Gouda who is a luxury consignment manager for The Real Real. In addition to her job at The Real Real, Marisa also is a stylist, which makes her extremely knowledgable and well-qualified to help customers who are considering parting ways with their luxury items. The Real Real has been everywhere lately, and she explains how the process works and what it's like to consign with the company, including what kind of commission you can expect when selling your items with them. We talk about which brands and items tend to be the most popular on their site, and Marisa is also offering a free 2-hour closet cleanse with the code 'REALREALFALL2019'. Because she's a stylist, she's the perfect person to help you purge your closet and style what you already own. Contact Marisa at [email protected] or feel free to reach out to me to get in touch with her!

Today I'm talking about Marissa Fuchs from The Fashion Ambitionist who was at the center of the viral social media proposal and wedding that took place recently. Her longtime boyfriend Gabe supposedly set up a scavenger hunt around the United States and France for her to eventually find him and get engaged/married. The entire scene unfolded before our eyes on Instagram Stories, but halfway through some information was revealed that changed everyone's minds about this entire ordeal. As an "influencer" myself (I prefer blogger or content creator), I share my thoughts on this whole scenario. How much is too much when sharing our personal lives for sponsored opportunities and followers?

In this brief introductory episode of Bubbles and Banter I'm introducing myself and explaining a bit about why I started a podcast. I want this to be a fun, interesting space where I share more of my personality and love for all things pop culture, media and other people's interesting stories. I love having conversations with people whether the topic is Real Housewives, how someone overcame hardship to achieve success or exchanging stories about our most cringe-worthy moments.

I recorded this episode back in May on the morning that I turned 29! This episode is me sharing all the different thoughts going through my head now that I'm entering the last year of my 20s and how I feel like I've changed, especially from my early 20s!
