I am a 20-something, relatively newlywed living in the Tampa Bay area. I spend my days as a freelance social media specialist, and the rest of the time you can be sure to find me shopping for a great new fashion find or beauty product. I’m a girl on a regular budget; I don’t think you have to break the bank to look and feel like a million bucks. Hopefully, some of my bargain shopping and inspiration can be of service to you. If you’re new to Ruffles & Truffles, you can expect to see posts about my personal style, beauty products I love, a smattering of food, and other goodies. My furbaby Lucia (she’s an Australian shepherd) also likes to pop in from time to time. My site is my happy place, and I hope you find it to be one for you as well!

Another Marshalls feature!

So, I was extremely excited a few weeks back when I shared my first featured album on Marshalls’ Facebook page. Since I peruse their aisles on pretty much a weekly basis, I was thrilled to coll...

Two Years

Has it really been two years? Oh, how time flies. By the way…that darn dress is still hanging on our closet door. The day after our wedding I hung it on the door since it wouldn’t fit ins...

Spanish-style tilapia

Once the summer months hit, lighter fare is essential for my dinner menus. This means a lot of salads, and a lot of fish! Typically, I like blackening a piece of tilapia and serving it with a side of...

Cat Eyes

I don’t know about you, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find me outside without a pair of sunglasses shielding my eyes. Perhaps it’s because I live in the Sunshine State…perhaps...

Cauliflower “Dirty Rice”

Today, I wanted to take a moment to share a side dish recipe that I tried out recently. As much as I love rice, eating a large bowl of it is not always something I can do for dinner each night. So, I...

Summer style: get the look

Loafing around

With summer on the way, I’m gearing up for wearing shorts and skirts practically every day. Typically, I don these particular items with a pair of flip flops. I do live in Florida, after all. H...

Macaron, or soap? That is the question (and a giveaway)!

Sometimes, things are almost too cute for words. What I’m about to share with you is just that. When I first laid eyes on the whimsical soaps made by KcSoapsNmore on Etsy, I couldn’t beli...

Casual day: linen romper

This season, I’ve been noticing quite a few rompers out on the racks at stores. I’d delved into the land of rompers last year, but this year I’m expanding my collection. They seem t...

Lucia smiles

I have to share this video with you today, because it is just too funny. I’ll set it up for you a bit: I had been trying to teach Lucia to “smile” for a few weeks, but I’d giv...

Pretty Printed Shorts

When I introduced you to my rediscovered floral shorts last week, it got me thinking: why don’t I have more shorts in my wardrobe? The floral shorts are literally my only pair, aside from the o...

Tribal

Do you ever buy an item of clothing and immediately wish you’d purchased it in every single color/pattern that was offered? I find myself thinking that sometimes, but am thankful I maintain sel...

Captain Morgan Black at Ciro’s Speakeasy

Zoya nail polish: Bevin (and a winner!)

When I was in middle school, I specifically remember buying a bottle of bright blue nail polish. I would paint my toes blue and then dab drops of white and yellow on my big toe to make daisies. So cl...

Roundup: the black maxi

I feel like every woman should have a “little black maxi” as a part of her wardrobe. Maxi dresses are so comfortable and have the ability to be dressed up or down depending on the day! Ju...

Black maxi and beads

I’m pretty sure that a black maxi dress could end up serving as a uniform of sorts for me. The versatility of a simple black dress is hard to beat, wouldn’t you say? I love that I can thr...
