What to Wear to a Bridal Shower

Happy Monday friends! This past weekend was an amazing, yet crazy one. My family hosted and celebrated two showers this weekend – my little sister’s bridal shower and my older sister’s baby shower. SURPRISE! I’m going to be an aunt!!!!!!!!!!! This year is going to be a life-changing, epic one for my family. My little sister and I are getting married, my older sister is having her first baby, and the first grandchild of our family, and my mom is retiring. So many reasons to celebrate. So many reasons to be thankful. So many reasons to have a full...

Transitioning to Fall with Tobi

Vest Dressed

Fashion•Shopping

When in doubt, put a vest on it. Guys, earlier this week when I finally started to unpack my closet (felt like a slobby slob for a couple days), I came across my vests that I think were hidden in the back of my closet. Of course I sported my new faux fur one last year, but I forgot that I have two denim vests, a cargo vest and two puffer vests. Vests are a great way to add an extra layer, without too much bulk, and to add an extra dimension to make an outfit even more stylish....

Blush Pink

Fashion•Outfits

So a couple days ago I shared a thrifted red lace dress and today I’m sharing this blush pink dress I thrifted the same night! This one is a bit more professional, so to make it more appropriate for a Valentine’s date, I added a sleek pair of patent pumps and a sequin clutch. The contrast of the black gives it a bit more interest than when I originally paired it with nude pumps. Is it just me, or do you always pair similar shades together? Blush pink + beige or nude just seems to make sense, but I...

Leopard Love: Accessories

Something about fall approaching gets me really excited to wear leopard print, probably because of my leopard scarf and booties which I don’t usually wear during the summer! Anyway, just rounded up some of my favorite leopard accessories because leopard truly is a neutral, right?! Have a wonderful Friday! Clutch Flats Belt Handbag Sunglasses Heels Scarf

A Simple Guide to Accessorizing

Accessories•Shopping

Accessories make an outfit; there’s simply no denying it. It doesn’t matter how gorgeous that dress/top/playsuit is, if you haven’t accessorised it to perfection, you aren’t doing it justice! You can transform anything with jewelery: a plain white t-shirt and jeans can look amazing when paired with a bold, statement necklace. Of course, you could go the Coco Chanel route and take one piece of jewelery off before you leave the house, but I think the more accessories you have on, the better! In this simple guide to accessorizing, you’ll learn exactly how to compliment your outfit to enhance...

Are iPads just a stylish gadget or do they have substance?

Accessories•Fashion

Although tablet computers have been around since the 1990s, it was Apple’s 2010 iPad that brought them into the mainstream. Today, tablets are almost ubiquitous. Easy to carry, hold, and use, they have a wide range of applications, from checking email and playing games on the move to surfing the internet in bed. Apple had the lion’s share of the market at the start of the tablet boom, but other manufacturers are catching up, with Android and Windows units selling fast. Apple is no longer seen as an innovator in the field, and fans of the iPad may find...

Shopping

Today’s post is sponsored by Our World Boutique. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are 100% my own. I am excited to share a great online boutique with you that fits with any budget! I love boutiques. There is no doubt about it — when I travel I am always looking to find unique stores and boutiques I can’t find anywhere else. The great thing about online shopping is that I can do this on a daily basis now, without ever leaving home. I was introduced to Our World Boutique a couple weeks ago and couldn’t believe...

Blazer and Jeans: Dressed Up

Outfits

When it was cold on Mother’s Day, instead of opting for my sleeveless, knee-length dress, I decided to throw on my orange blouse from 10DollarMall.com and once again paired it with my white blazer and skinny jeans. On Monday, I shared my blazer and jeans casual style, and today I’m sharing how I dress them up. I added a teal necklace for some interest and was ready to celebrate Mother’s Day! There are tons of other ways to dress up jeans and blazer, but adding a statement necklace, some fancy bracelets and a pair of heels is the simplest way to...
