Hi, welcome to The Frivolous Fashionista! I’m Nicollette, the brunette behind the blog. I'm a busy toddler mama and wife to a talented finance professional that usually ends up behind the camera in his spare time. Much like my life and my makeup drawers, this space has a little bit of everything. our conversations can flip from chatting about charcuterie boards, shopping the best sales, what's next in my travel diaries or normalizing struggles with anxiety. Regardless of what brought you here, I hope you’ll stay! Grab a cup of coffee, bottle of water or glass of wine and let’s be virtual BFF’s!
