What to Wear for Cinco de Mayo: Tribal-Inspired Pieces

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} Every year around Cinco de Mayo, I love looking for tribal-inspired pieces from jewelry to dresses and leggings! Can we talk about how gorgeous this necklace is? Although the festivities will be less this year since it lands on a Monday, I’m still going to enjoy some margaritas and hopefully at Pepitoes, which my friend recently introduced me to. Will you be wearing a tribal-inspired dress for Cinco de Mayo? I will probably wear a dress I’ve had for years (seen here), but let’s be honest, it probably won’t be warm enough for that!...

Spring Picks

Shopping

I haven’t been this excited about buying new clothes for spring in years… I’m so over winter, in its entirety. I used to say Minnesota winters were worth it for the rest of the seasons, but I’m not so sure about that anymore! Anyway, SheInside has some amazing spring styles right now to help refresh anyone’s spring closet! This pale blue coat is definitely on the top of my wish list! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday! Lace Top Jeweled Collar Top Floral Print Top Maxi Dress Cobalt Blue Clutch Mint Dress Pale Blue Coat This is...

What to Wear for Thanksgiving

Fashion

Still have no idea what to wear for Thanksgiving? I put together some ideas based on how casual or dressy your Thanksgiving might be this year. Usually I try to dress up a casual look (like the chambray and maxi skirt look below). Other casual looks include a dress with a scarf, socks and flat boots or skinny jeans, a sweater and loafers. If you are attending a fancy Thanksgiving dinner or buffet, or hosting your own, why not try a fitted dress with heels. And if you are like me, I will probably just change into sweats after...

My Little Side Kick

Outfits

Emma decided to join me today and show you my new Fit in Clouds foldable flats! She really is my little side kick, she follows me everywhere around the apartment and even when she’s still hyper she will come lay down by me when I go to bed! Anyway, onto the flats! These flats are perfect to throw in your purse and bring with you everywhere, and like last night, switch from heels to flats for after work. Isn’t the pattern super cute?! I love them and will be keeping them with me ALL the time from now on!...

Summer Dresses

Shopping

Although summer is coming to an end (Minnesota’s state fair starts this week, which always marks the end of summer for me), there is still plenty of time to stock up on summer dresses. I definitely get excited about the new fall clothing coming out, I also tend to stock up on anything I need for the season before it ends because well I’m a sucker for a good sale and normally all summer items are marked super clearance! — and I always try to buy things that can work throughout all the seasons. And as long as...

Wedding Attire for Fall

Fashion•Shopping

The weddings this year are seriously never ending… and as more and more of my friends get engaged, it looks like the next couple years are going to be booked too! With that in mind, I am always looking for new places to find unique, beautiful dresses to wear to my friends’ weddings, but still be able to stay on budget. Recently I came across DressFirst and found an amazing selection of special occasion dresses and bridal veils, perfect for upcoming fall weddings! I obviously already have the dress picked out that I’m going to wear for my sister’s wedding, but...

Date Night

Outfits

I like to keep it simple for date night, especially during the summer. We enjoy sitting outside on patios when we go out to dinner or out for drinks, which is our typical date, so when I have a comfy, light-weight dress on, I feel the best. I also LOVE wearing heels for date night, but wedges are a much better alternative for walking after dinner. I have had my eye on a bracelet like this for awhile, so when I threw on this dress, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to wear it! Dress, Kensie via...

Metallic Mondays

Fashion•Outfits

So yesterday was a weird day. I got up a little later than normal after traveling to and from Madison this weekend to visit my sister, and wasn’t exactly looking forward to a day at work, but who is on a Monday? Anyway, I showed up to an almost completely empty parking lot. Uh ohhhh… I immediately thought back to Friday where my company’s power was out for a couple hours due to the storms the night before. Well I guess another round of bad storms hit the Minneapolis area on Friday night and the power had been out...

Wedding Season

Outfits•Shopping

I’m sure many of you have already attended some weddings, but with wedding season in full effect (I attend my first one this weekend) I thought I would put together some wedding looks for the upcoming season. I recently discovered eFoxCity.com and am impressed with their cocktail dresses, evening dresses and their summer dresses online for a very reasonable price. I am always about a good deal! Plus, there is something special about each wedding that makes you want to get something new. If you are like me, you aren’t going to spend too much on a new outfit for a...
