From a year that was notorious for disappointment, I found blessings. From a year that handed out frustration, I found success. From a year that broke dreams, I started mine. God has a time for all of us. Our biggest blessings can come in the most surprising ways & sometimes disguised as what we think are disappointments. This year was tough in many ways & heartbreaking most days. Yet, I’m thankful for another year & will continue to give God praise! 2020 was a blessing in disguise. Thank you God 🖤 Happy new Year! xx- Tayla

Boston Weekend Guide | Where I go when I’m in the City!
(Vlog at the end of this post) Where to Stay? I prefer renting apartments as opposed to staying at a hotel. I feel like theres more privacy, its safer, and you feel more at home! For my recent stay in the city, I stayed with Sonder at one of their luxury apartment rentals. The apartment was absolutely stunning, with great aesthetic furniture and an unbeatable view! I would say the only thing that was missing in this apartment was a full length mirror. How can you leave the house without seeing what your outfit actually looks like??! Deff need a full length mirror next time. Where to Eat? Looking for…

Proverbs 31:25
“She is Clothed in Strength and Dignity and laughs without fear of the Future” Proverbs 31:25 Why this verse? Why is this the one I post in my bio? Why do I have it on the back of my Tayla’s Closet sweater?? This verse has stuck with me for so many years. It’s the backbone of my company, and it is why I am now a full-time blogger and the reason why I wasn’t afraid to drop everything to chase my dream. When I first started this journey, so many people would judge me or question my dream of being in the fashion industry. As I’ve stated many times on…

Nature by Canus Soap: Bring Nature Home
By: Style Blogger, Tayla Santos Happy Monday and welcome back to my blog! Today we’re talking about taking time for self care and finding the importance of putting yourself first in times where anxiety levels are really elevated. You know how before you take off on a flight, the flight attendant gives all the details and steps necessary to take if something were to go south (pun intended)? They go through how to properly use the oxygen masks and make it a point to tell you that you must make sure your mask is on and working before even thinking about helping others. During this scary time, It’s very important…

COVID-19 Thoughts : Part II
All this doing nothing, laying low and staying away from people really has me going a little crazy. Quarantine really gives you a bunch of time to think about all the unnecessary things you shouldn’t have to be thinking about and to be honest with you guys, I thought this was going to be a lot easier on me. Maybe even a little easier on me than it would be on others, but this is getting to be a little bit too much. With my instagram, this blog and now Tayla’s Closet the Label, my thought was that I would have plenty to keep me busy! I thought the extra…

COVID-19 Thoughts – How I’m Feeling
So last night I was up till about 3am. My mind and my heart were racing. We are living through an epidemic guys! Seriously, just let that sink in for a second. Our world is getting shut down bit by bit, town by town and state by state. How scary is that? Things are rapidly changing all around us and we have very little, to not control. There are so many different aspects and angles to how my mind is grasping this whole situation. There’s the positive outlook and then theres, of course, the negative thoughts that can sometimes cloud my brain. Positives This is obviously a great time to…
