So some of you who follow me on Instagram (@HeyitsCarlyRae) or Snapchat (HeyitsCarlyRae) might have seen I was at Mayo Clinic for surgery this past week. I’ve had tons of people write in and message me about it and wonder if I was okay! Which I appreciate all the love! I had to undergo an eardrum replacement surgery. No one really knows but I’ve grew up having over ten operations on my ear due to a hole in my eardrum that in turn never got fixed. But through the years my hearing and health of the ear has decreased so…

Flashback Friday in my diary to the photo session I got to do with the legendary Bluegrass artist, Ricky Skaggs. I was in Nashville, TN on a trip and for the day I got to go see where all the country artists get headshots done and I got to meet and spend the day with Ricky Skaggs. The day was spent at a photo studio and photographers got to spend a few hours there learning lights etc. Ricky was there do be a ‘model’ for the shoot and I was lucky enough to be there. I offered to get a…

So as soon as I saw this dress I absolutely LOVED it! I love the crochet detail and the nude detail. It reminded me of what all the celebrities are wearing on the red carpet and I couldn’t help but instantly fall in love! Especially because this dress is less than $50! I’ve been searching for the perfect occasion dress and you know how when you actually need an occasion dress you can’t find one? Well that’s how I was for like a week shopping and then I saw this dress and knew it was the one I had been waiting…

Okay so definitely not a conventional ‘Dear Diary’ title entry, but I absolutely love this quote.You know how some days you feel like dressing up and you have no where to go? Well, that’s how I felt when I decided I needed this dress. I have absolutely no where to go, but I love it so much I had to have it. Some days even though you have no where to go, it’s awesome how amazing you feel when do just get dressed up for yourself! I now know I will have an occasion outfit if I end up having…

So I finally decided to join in on the ‘midi’ trend that everyone has been blogging about and so many people have been talking about! I came across this dress on Original Piece Boutique online and I knew I had to have it for fall! I love how soft the material is the oversized fit is perfect for the boho vibe I was going for, for fall fashion! I decided to pair it with these fun fringe booties because of the overall look I was going for… what do you guys think of the booties with it… be honest? Yes…

It’s Sunday so a powerful message I came across today that I wanted to share with everyone was the verse: ‘She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.’ -Proverbs 31:25. This verse today I thought today was just the inspiring message I needed to read. Some days (more like almost everyday for me) there is always something that comes up that puts doubt in you about your future. Whether it’s with your family, business, or a simple day-to-day task. We all have those moments in the day of laughter that bring joy and at…

So I have to say I am definitely loving this dress for fall from the Original Piece Boutique! The fun print and silky material makes this dress perfect for my fall wardrobe! I decided to pair it was wedges because I was going to an event and thought the wedges dressed it up! I usually always wear my hair up down, but I decided to give this fall look a twist by doing a high-bun and adding a fun red lip! I thought too for fall this dress is awesome because you can definitely pair it with your favorite booties!…

I had the chance to work with Ralphi’s Photography again and I absolutely fell in love with this photo as soon as I saw it! This photo was taken at sunset and the effect put on it was something I was so excited to see! This was taken right before a huge storm too so it definitely was a calm before the storm! I knew I had to share this photo with all of my readers and let you guys tell me what you think! I wore a new romper I just got from Original Piece Boutique that is the…

So today I decided to feature this powerful verse: “Let all that you do be done in love.” Today marks the middle of the week and I decided that today everything I love I’ll do with love. Don’t get me wrong usually everyday no matter what I’m doing I always try and stay positive and to make a difference in someone’s life no matter how big or small. But sometimes with the day-to-day hustle and bustle we sometimes forget why we started what we love in the first place. Sometimes the things we view as little make a huge difference…

I decided to kickstart my fall wardrobe with this all new dress arrival! I love this mustard color shift dress and I love the tribal accent detail! I paired it with my black Target booties I got last year and I love how it tied the fall fashion into place. What I LOVE most about this dress is the color! I don’t have anything in my wardrobe this color and it gave my fashion a fun twist! I’m thinking about adding a solid kimono with it when those cool fall nights start to come. What do you think of my…

So I got inspired and me and another artist came up with a GKey designed around Beauty and the Beast. I wanted a key that expressed that message behind the Beauty and the Beast and I wanted whoever wore the key to spread that message through their journey. Beauty and the GKey is one of my favorite designs. It has a solid all gold glitter background and it’s accented with red roses. I think that gives it that fairytale feel I love. No only only does this GKey represent to look past what people look like, but I’m hoping when…
