Hi Babes!

I have some exciting news for all of you @grayson lovers! I have a new discount code for you that does not have an expiration date. What-whaaaaat?! I know. Starting now, use code ERICAREID when you shop Grayson shirts and receive $25 off of your order! You can shop all Grayson collections HERE .

If you’ve been following me on Insta for the last 6 months you know I love these shirts. I talk about them all the time. I’m always trying to show you different ways to syle them so you see how to maximize your cost per wear. Investment pieces should be versatile and this one is well worth it. The size chart on their website is so helpful. I’m wearing a size 02 in all of my shirts but you could also size up for an oversized look.

Today I’m showing you a third way to style the same Grayson tissue button up and shorts I’ve shown you earlier this week. 🙂 You can shop my look HERE. With these three styling options all I did is change out accessories and shoes and it gives the outfit a totally different look. (To see the other two check out my Instagram!) Change it up even more by adding a jacket (blazer, denim or leather) and switching up hairstyles. I love to see how you style your favorite finds from my posts! Email or DM me a photo and I’ll feature you in my stories or in a post!

Happy Saturday and happy shopping beauties! X

Happy Monday Babes!

Your search for the perfect button-up with no gapping is over. The Hero Shirt was engineered for women, by a woman. Audrey McLoghlin, the founder of Grayson saw an opportunity to reinvent this classic wardrobe staple for women and she nailed it. From fit to feel, comfort to quality…it’s everything you are looking for. I have a lot of button-ups in different styles because there are so many ways to wear them and they are timeless. That said, until Grayson I had never owned one as comfortable and lightweight that gives me as much versatility.

When someone from Grayson emailed me in February and asked if I would like to try a sample shirt, I of course said “yes, please”. I’ve been hooked ever since. What I love even more is that the founder is passionate about building a company by women, for women. She had a decade of experience in luxury shirting, so she knows whats up.

So lets talk styling this classic wardrobe staple. Are you sassy? Or simple? As a mom, I’m both, but I prefer sassy & bold. 😉 I’ve shown you both a sassy and a simple way to wear the same shirt below. If you follow me on Instagram you know I love these shirts and style them every which way. Sporty, chic, as swim cover-up…tucked in, half tucked, tied, loose over a dress, etc. Make sure you follow me @stylingbyerica and @grayson to keep seeing ways to style the Hero Shirt and to stay in the know about sales and giveaways. On that note, who else besides me loves a discount code?! I mean, hopefully everyone. Well I have a treat for you…Today – August 15th only, use code ERICA25 and receive 25% off all full priced shirts!! Head over to Grayson.com to shop the collection now. You can also shop my looks on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app {stylingbyerica}. Happy shopping friends!

BRAND HIGHLIGHT | ELISAMAMA

When I recently discovered ELISAMAMA on Instagram {@elisamamakids} I instantly fell in love with the vibrant colors, prints and styles of their clothing. I wanted to learn more about the brand so I spent some time reading everything on their website. I knew I had to reach out to this shop about collaborating. I sent a message and had a wonderful conversation with Fisayo, the founder of ELISAMAMA. It was an instant connection and I am honored to be highlighting her brand. Not only does ELISAMAMA create beautiful clothing, but there is a social goal and a real purpose behind the brand. I shared their purpose video at the end of this post as I think its so important to hear Fisayo’s voice, see the makers of the clothing, and truly get a sense of their work.

The business funds their social goals. “All our items are handmade in Nigeria and through that, our team members are able to earn consistent income to support themselves and their families.” As a business and knowing this is what funds their goals, ELISAMAMA is committed to offering high value products. “Every ELISAMAMA item is designed with 3 goals in mind: Comfort, Function and Style.” As a mama who put my five year old daughter in one of these dresses, I can say they nailed all three of these goals. I washed it & hung it to dry before she wore it. It washed well and dried with no wrinkles and the fabric remained very soft. Emma ran around the yard, danced and played in triple digits and the dress was comfortable, moved well and it will grow with her since the straps are adjustable {you can tie the bow as loose or as fitted as you like to make the dress fit your child perfectly}. Shop Emma’s dress HERE!

I have always loved buying dresses for Emma since she can wear them for so long. As they start to get smaller/shorter you just add some leggings or biker shorts underneath. Also, I love jumpsuits for myself and my daughter! Combining comfort and style that can be dressed up or down, and made to play in, what’s not to love? Make sure you shop the super cute jumpsuits as well!Yesterday I did a Instagram live Q&A with Fisayo and you can watch the video from my Instagram feed HERE. It was so fun to talk with her “face to face” for the first time! She shared what inspired her to start ELISAMAMA, how she chooses her fabrics, what they are planning to add to the collection, and how they’ve been impacted by COVID-19. The best way you can support the brand and their efforts in Nigeria right now is to spread the word about ELISAMAMA, and shop. We need to get the word out there that this amazing brand exists and as we do that more people will start shopping from them. When this happens it will allow them to continue to provide work and incomes for women and men in Nigeria. Each garment is handmade with love and the clothing truly speaks for itself.
