Mondays Are More Fun with Avara!

Are you ready for a whole new adventure here at Make Life Marvelous?

 

I am so excited to share with you that I am an Avara Ambassador! A huge thanks to Carrie from Curly Crafty Mom for recommending their program to me!

 

I received their welcome package literally at the speed of light late last week. The pieces they sent me were packaged with care and included such a sweet card welcoming me into their Ambassador program.

 

Kyle was so kind to take these photos for me on Saturday morning, and I grabbed an iced Ambrosia (secret recipe from my favorite local coffee shop) for fuel.

 

Mondays Are More Fun with Avara!

Avara sent me two beautiful pieces from their collection: Mamie Sweater in pink (an Avara exclusive!) and Becca Jeans. Both of these make the perfect combination for a fun Valentine’s Day look!

 

Avara look

I added a pair of black ballet flats, my Kate Spade dupe from TJ Maxx that has a pretty chain strap that reminded me of the pattern on my sweater, and my ladybug charm bracelet from Alex and Ani (a beautiful surprise Christmas gift from a friend – thanks Crystal!).

 

Avara Lake White

Both the sweater and jeans are super comfortable and fit me true to size. I’m wearing a size small for the sweater and size 27 (5) for the jeans.

 

I love pieces that can be worn for holidays and beyond, and these definitely check those boxes!

 

Avara PIN

You can use my discount code MAKELIFEMARVELOUS15 to take 15% off! This code can also be used at checkout for any other pieces you love that are not currently on sale!

 

Speaking of sale, Avara is currently having a super sale on their beautiful Valentine’s Day collection – you can snag their V-Day goodies for 30% off with this link!

 

That’s a wrap on my Avara post, sweet friends! I truly hope you enjoyed this collaboration today, please let me know in the comments and if you’ve bought anything from Avara before!

    You are quite the model! Love this entire post and Kyle was SO sweet to take your photos. I’m always incredibly thankful for Brian’s help. I love that sweater on you, the color goes perfect with you and I love the chain pattern. It’s perfect for V-Day and the early Spring when it is still cold. If I ever come out your way, I need to try that Ambrosia coffee!!!

I'm Ashley, the one-woman village behind this little blog! Living in my thirties era and happily married to my soul mate. Forever missing our rescue cats that crossed the rainbow bridge, Draino and Pepper. I’m obsessed with grabbing iced coffee, watching court cases, check marking my to-do list, fresh air, cozy blankets, helping others, and saying ‘I love you’ before every goodbye.

I'm so happy you're here and can't wait to connect with you on all the marvelous things!

Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉 Sometimes it’s the sma Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉

Sometimes it’s the smallest, simplest things that make us feel most grounded - and those things are worth remembering and incorporating! 

Maybe it’s a morning cup of coffee, spending time in your Bible, listening to your favorite podcast, stepping outside for some fresh air, a few quiet minutes going over your to-do list in your planner, or checking in with someone you love. 
 
Let your tiny anchors remind you to slow down and be present in your everyday life. It all goes by so quickly, sweet friends! 🩷
