September was a full one. Here’s what’s been happening.
September was full of beautiful moments inside CSJ, incredible rooms, exciting projects, and a little adventure along the way. Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes.
Bringing Beth’s Visual Brand to Life
One of the highlights of this month was creating a new Visual Brand Identity Experience for my client, Beth Briggs.
Beth and I created brand images together years ago, but since then, both she and her work have evolved, and CSJ has evolved right alongside her. It was time to create brand imagery that reflected not only who she is today, but where she’s going next.
We spent months developing the creative vision, curating her wardrobe, and intentionally bringing every element together for her branding photoshoot. We incorporated Beth’s artwork, scripture, prayer cards, and meaningful details that represent the heart behind her work and personal brand.
The result felt unmistakably Beth: artistic, feminine, personal, grounded in faith, and reflective of where she is going next.
This is what visual brand identity is really about. Your wardrobe and brand imagery should capture your essence, communicate what you stand for, and reflect the level at which you lead. That’s when style becomes strategy.
I can’t wait to share the final images.
The Unstoppable Life Retreat
Over Labor Day weekend, I had the honor of speaking and helping facilitate Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Life Retreat in Jacksonville Beach.
I love being in rooms with women who are committed to continuing to grow, expand, and step into what’s next. There’s something incredibly powerful about witnessing the breakthroughs that happen in these spaces and having the opportunity to pour into other women along the way.
It was an incredibly special weekend, and I left feeling so grateful for Amberly, the women I met, and the conversations we shared.
Celebrating Another Year
I celebrated my birthday this month feeling incredibly grateful for another year of life, the people I love, and everything this season continues to bring.
Ken made it even more special by surprising me with a trip to Italy, which was such an unexpected gift. There was a time in our lives when a trip like this simply wouldn’t have been possible, which made the surprise and this season of our lives feel even more meaningful.
And thank you to everyone who reached out, sent a message, or wished me a happy birthday. You truly made my day feel so special, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the love.
I’m stepping into this next year with a very full heart and so much gratitude for what’s ahead.
Your Fall Packing Toolkit Is Here
Fall travel is here, and I created something to make packing and getting dressed on your next trip so much easier.
My FREE Fall Packing Toolkit includes the essential pieces I recommend, plus visual outfit inspiration to help you mix, match, and layer your wardrobe into multiple looks.
Pack intentionally. Create more outfits. Feel confident wherever you’re headed.
A Very Special Retreat in Santa Rosa Beach
This month, I also returned to Santa Rosa Beach for Kathryn Gordon and Mindi Linscombe’s retreat, now in its third year.
This gathering holds such a special place in my heart. It’s where I’ve met some of my dearest friends, including Missy Ashton, whom I met at the very first retreat three years ago.
Once again, it was a beautiful few days filled with meaningful conversations, connection, vision, and creating space for what’s next. And this year, it felt especially meaningful knowing just how much has grown from the relationships formed in that very place.
Maggie and the Magic Mirror Is Coming to Life
This one has my whole heart.
Maggie and the Magic Mirror is closer than it has ever been, and Missy and I are now watching the illustrations bring this story to life in an entirely new way.
Seeing the world we’ve carried in our hearts begin to take shape on the page has been incredibly emotional and special. We cannot wait to bring Maggie and her story into the world and share what this book means to us.
Stay tuned. We’re getting closer. 🤍
Ready for Your Own Next Level?
If your wardrobe no longer represents the woman you are today or where you’re headed next, I’d love to connect.
As a personal stylist and image strategist in Sarasota, Florida, I help women create elevated, intentional wardrobes that reflect who they are, support the life they’re creating, and give them the confidence to show up fully as themselves.
Book a complimentary personal styling call with me, and let’s talk about where you are, what you need from your wardrobe, and how I can help you create a personal style that truly reflects you and where you’re going next.
Thank you for being here and being part of this journey. I can’t wait to share more with you.
With love,
Jessica
