Is your dream job in the lifestyle industry?  In the past five years, a blogging career has proven to not only be possible, but it can be very fulfilling.  One-woman shows are now successful companies with teams of creative editors and contributors. 

I first worked for two and a half years as a public relations professional before becoming an editor for Waiting on Martha.  I’ll be honest with you: I put a lot of stress on myself about landing my job, and now, looking back, I would have done some of it differently.  At the time, I didn’t understand the importance of being flexible and open-minded.  It’s crucial to have a come-to-Jesus-talk with yourself about the definition of your “dream job” and what it all entails, while remaining open to the twists and turns it may give you along the way. 

In the slideshow above, I’ve outlined six tips I have for someone interested in breaking into the lifestyle industry through a career with a blog or creative website. There is a plethora of helpful job hunting sites and it’s very helpful to read expert advice, but I always like to tell people to also be curious, stay persistent and be flexible.  It’s a constantly evolving dream to chase after, and a lot of the path is new to pave, but it is so rewarding to find yourself in a role that both challenges you and excites you.  Good luck!  Cheers, Kat 

There’s something so sexy about a simple White T Shirt.  Whether worn alone, paired with a blazer, dressed up with heels or down with sneakers, a great white tee will never go out of style.

I’ve had a recent fascination with all things Parisian (yep, I read this book and am now reading this memoir). I’ve started thinking a lot about owning wardrobe essentials that I imagine Parisian women do.  About having a personal style that evokes confidence and femininity, even on a run to the grocery store.  About wearing items that are classic and comfortable, but never boring.  And a perfect White T Shirt is definitely one of those items. 

Like so many others, I have been on the hunt for the best white t shirts for years, and have owned several favorites by Everlane, James Perse, J Brand, J.Crew and Kit and Ace.  While I’m not one to drop big bucks on designer pieces often, I do believe it’s worth it to so splurge on a wardrobe essential like this if you find the perfect one and plan to keep it around for awhile. But with great versions starting as low as $15, our picks for the best White T Shirts can fit in any budget. 

Check out five of my favorite looks in the slideshow above, along with links to snag yourself. Have you found your ultimate White T Shirt yet?  Cheers, Kat

If you’re like me, when you stumble upon a type of dress that’s comfortable, chic and oh-so-flattering, you want to buy it in every color. Case in point with this flared blue dress from Opening Ceremony; it’s an easy option that I know I can reach for in my closet and always feel amazing in.  The A-Line design hugs in all the right spots, and with its flirty flare, the dress is just downright fun to wear (and twirl in of course).  I like to think of it as a summer update to my LBD in blue, and I’m so close to snagging the Blush and Pink as well! Truly, MKR
