Hi! I am a Louisiana Marylander that enjoys creating great experiences and exploring the world. I started blogging to inspire you and others to bring style, sophistication, and sparkle to your everyday life. I will share my journey celebrating a milestone birthday; what I have learned on my #IBD Warrior…
Hello,
I’m Erica
Louisiana born. Maryland based. Intentional by nature.
I created Geaux Ceaux Chic for the adult woman who wants elevated experiences, plus-size style that actually works, and a Disney trip planned around her life: not someone else’s chaos.
I’m a slow runner, a proud Junior League member, a Mackenzie-Childs collector, and a woman who has learned to navigate autoimmune life with grace, strategy, and a well curated itinerary.
I believe beauty exists in every season. You just have to plan for it. Planned strategically. Styled thoughtfully. Never chaotic. Just chic.
