Hi, I’m Avery!

Welcome to averycarrier.com, my Fashion & Lifestyle Blog! My intention for this space is to help you create both beauty + function in the home, and in the way you style!

I first started blogging in 2017, my senior year of college. I launched “Strength Over Silence” (my former blog) after silently battling through depression and an emotionally painful year. Writing helped me come to terms with my wounds + allowed me to heal. Thankfully, over time, growth has taught me to own who I am—who I really am—and confidently take the reins in life!

Finally, in July 2020, I went out on a limb and launched averycarrier.com, a lifestyle & fashion blog! A place where I hope you’re encouraged to look and feel both confident and empowered! You can also find me expressing my love of affordable fashion, beauty, home decor, & Amazon finds.

I’m a Texas girl, and currently live in the greater Houston area. I love Jesus, traveling, and being a mama to my baby boy, Brooks + my yorkie pup, Millie.

Ultimately, I hope this space uplifts you + inspires you to shine brightly, and encourages you to feel confident in who you are, right where you’re at! 

xoxo, Avery

why I’m here…

I’m all about sharing products and solutions that make a difference—whether it’s finding the perfect cozy outfit, curating stylish yet functional home decor, or discovering budget-friendly beauty and skincare products. My goal is to inspire you to feel confident and at peace in your daily life without the pressure to have it all together (because I certainly don’t!). While I enjoy creating aesthetically-pleasing content and value beauty, my goal is to inspire you to feel confident and at peace in your daily life (and say bye to the pressure to have it all together!) It’s about creating systems, making small intentional choices, and finding purpose in the everyday—because it’s the little things that add up to big changes!

I share what works for me—no expert advice, no “perfect” solutions, just things that I trust and love. Whether you’re looking for a quick wardrobe refresh, practical home organization ideas, or a skincare routine that fits your busy life, I’ve got you covered. I believe that you can have a life that’s beautiful and functional, even when things don’t go as planned.

For me, the real joy is helping other women, especially busy moms, find a balance between feeling in control and embracing life’s unpredictable nature. It’s not about overconsumption or chasing after perfection—it’s about feeling at home in your own life and trusting that you have everything you need to make it work. You’re not just shopping for pretty things; you’re investing in a lifestyle that makes you feel purposeful, confident, and relaxed.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

 
PERSONAL

"HOW OLD ARE YOU?"

I'm 29. My birthday is in June!

PERSONAL

"WHERE ARE YOU FROM?"

Born in Houston, and raised in Richmond/Katy, TX. (I traveled back-and-forth a lot)

BEAUTY

"WHAT HAIR PRODUCTS DO YOU LOVE THE MOST?"

For the most part, I use the products above religiously. Especially the Argan Oil Mask. I wrote a blog post on this, you can check it out + shop these products below!

PERSONAL

"WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE?"

Linking my camera + my lens BELOW. I love it... my first camera! It's easy to use and perfect for blogging + everyday use. But it's my lens that makes my photos seem so clean, clear + focused. They're sold separately, but sooo worth buying a lens. Click one of the text links below to shop.

BIZ TIPS

"I'VE BEEN THRIFTING/RESELLING FOR A WHILE NOW. ANY TIPS ON HOW TO TURN IT INTO A FULL-TIME BUSINESS?"

I'm still figuring it out as I go, too! But if anything, I'm learning brand recognition + customer service are key roles in gaining returning customers. Once you find your branding style, it'll be helpful to niche down to selling specific items that you become "known" for selling. Most of your $$ will likely come from loyal customers. If you're wanting to go full-time, I'd consider getting a boutique certification and buying/selling wholesale, as well as thrift finds! (P.S. Clicking the photo above will redirect you to my Posh Closet.)

PERSONAL

STARBUCKS COFFEE ORDER?

This changes monthly for me. I actually love Chick-Fil-A's vanilla iced coffee. But from Starbucks, I've been ordering the Mocha Cookie Crumble. (my sweet tooth has been bad lately!) Other days, I'll get an iced vanilla latte with an extra shot.

BEAUTY

"WHAT TRANSLUCENT POWDER DO YOU USE?"

My best friend actually recommended this one to me and I’ve been hooked ever since. LINKED BELOW.

BEAUTY

"WHAT LIP COLOR DO YOU USE?"

Linked my lip combo below. It's basically a 4-step process for me. First, I use my MAC lipstick ("Twig") + liner ("Soar") for a darker pink matte base. Then, I'll apply either Bobbi Brown ("Pink Ballet") lipstick or MAC's "Cremé d'Nude" for a creamy, complex look! It helps me to achieve the "perfect pink" lol. Then finally, lip gloss! Currently wearing NYX. I share my lip tutorial under my IG "Beauty" highlight (@avery_carrier).

PERSONAL

"WISDOM YOU'D SHARE WITH YOUR YOUNGER SELF?"

TRUST YOURSELF. Be confident in your choices, in your convictions, and in who you are. Your worth isn't determined by outside forces. Numbers, people, status--these things change. What won't change is who you are at your core. Don't be afraid to shine, own it!

PERSONAL

"HOW DID YOU START BLOGGING? WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE?"

The most non-linear journey EVER lol. I founded my first blog, "Strength Over Silence", in 2017 (senior year of college). After college, I earned my life coaching certification, became a "confidence coach", and also waitressed on weekends. Then, 2 years later, I picked up social media management + graphic design. Finally, in 2020, I launched my personal style blog after re-discovering my love of fashion + design through thrifting/re-sell. Now, I do it all! Graphic design, thrifting/resell, and blogging, that is.

PERSONAL

BEST "GO TO" FOOD SPOTS?

I don't know about "best", but Hungry's in Rice Village has been my FAVORITE brunch spot lately. Daily happy hour, aesthetically pleasing/vibey atmosphere, and great food! (I'll typically order their pizza + frosé).
