As of May // 10 things I’ve taken from #2016 so far.


April 2016 Review:

  1. Give yourself permission to live a big life. 

  2. Step into who you are meant to be. 

  3. Know your worth -stop playing it small.

  4. Make real connections. 

  5. Be intentional. 

  6. Be specific. 

  7. Take risks -challenge your comfort zone. 

  8. Don’t wait. Do it scared. 

  9. Surround yourself with the best -People who love you, push you, motivate you, laugh with you, hurt with you, for you, pray with you, for you, etc. 

  10. Keep God at the center of it all. Trust Him to lead the way. 

We’re meant for greater things. We just have to commit to tapping into it. I can’t say this enough. Trust the process. Trust your path. Stay in your lane. Believe all things are working together for the good.

It’s a new month. Let’s speak everything we’re believing for into these next few weeks. Our words create our world 🙏🏾

Peace, Love & Sunshine ~ Chels 💋

Coffey Break Chat: Why Hire An Image Consultant?

Fredis Benitez Honeymoon Cafe Houston The Coffey Break

Hey guys!

I’m noticing a pattern, so I take it as a sign to write and vlog about it. More and more often, I’m having conversations with friends, potential clients, and everyone in between about my personal style, and more often than not, if hiring an image consultant is a good investment.

The quick answer is simple. Curating your personal style doesn’t have to be a burden, and more importantly, we all have a few areas where we could use a helping hand from time to time.

Whether you’re looking to do a wardrobe overhaul, receive inspiration, or a few tweaks to your closet here and there; I’ve got you covered.

Still need a little more convincing? I sat down to walk you guys through 5 totally legit reasons to consider hiring (me) an image consultant:

5 Reasons To Hire An Image Consultant:

  1. Our physical appearance is our most immediate, nonverbal, form of communication
  2. Your vibe attracts your tribe –Feeling self-conscious about what you have on on creates self-doubt and that chit is contagious. The last thing you want to do is channel a vibe inconsistent with the connection or impression you want to make.
  3. One less distraction! There are a million and one different things going through our minds in an interview, first date, networking event, meeting mom, and so on. Why wonder about if you’re wearing the appropriate attire if you don’t have to? Stop leaving it up to chance, and get your wardrobe in order, so you can be present in whatever situation you’re in.
  4. We don’t have to be good at everything. Be okay with that.
  5. Tighten the margin for error: I hate to say this, but we live in a visual society. Increase your threshold of opportunity, by attracting the people you want to connect with. Sloppy, unkept appearances are a distraction. Don’t let your physical appearance distract anyone from the good within. There are a ton of things that are out of our control, but we can put our best foot forward to reflect the greatest version of ourselves.

Gotcha thinkin’? Let’s schedule a Coffey Break to uncover the best place to get started with your personal image over at www.TheCoffeyShop.co/. Your first consultation is on me 😉

Look of the Day 11.9.2013

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

11.12.13

LOTD Chelsea Coffey 11.12.13

At the first sign of the temperature dropping I stock up on all my winter faves:

1. Sweatpants (Easy to dress up or down, great for night to day transitions)

2. Sweatshirts(Makes life on the go crazy efficient, I can barely make moves when I’m cold)

3. Scarves (I layer like crazy in an effort to stay warm, so scarves are a great substitute for necklaces) 

Type Writer Pendant Necklace

This is one of the coolest gifts I’ve received to date. So much love to my good friend Andrea for thinking of me. The pendant on the necklace is the back space button from a typewriter. The creativity of jewelry designers always inspires me to think of new ways to rework the random pieces I’ve collected over the years.

Okay, okay, so it’s official. I’m ready to acknowledge that I have become a sneaker wedge junkie. I just can’t get enough of these bad boys.

The Flat Remix -Houston

Tonight is the second installment of The Flat pop up dinner series. I can’t really think of a better combination than my favorite place to go out annnd a bi monthly dinner series built around it. Good times ahead. Have a great day everyone!

Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea
