Simple Summer Style: Floral-Print T-Shirt + Jeans

Fashion•Outfits

Sometimes the easiest formula for getting dressed is a simple t-shirt + jeans look. Even though it’s been sweltering here lately (I thought New England was supposed to be a bit cooler in the summer – JK, LOL – so far not so much), I still love wearing jeans + t-shirts in the summer. This t-shirt is a bit of an upgraded look, as it is vintage Lily Pulitzer that I thrifted back in Vermont (along with the blouse from this look)! Along with that, I paired it with a simple pair of beaded sandals from my favorite (Primark!)...

Fall Poncho

Fashion•Outfits

Happy Monday! Wow, can you believe it? Does each weekend keep going faster and faster, or is it just me? I had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Saturday, my boyfriend, brother-in-law, Emma, and I drove down to Iowa to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday, a month early, but it was a great weekend for travel and we are worried about getting everyone together in the upcoming months (you know because of the “s” word…). Always an amazing time with family, but seems to go too fast each and every time! Yesterday was a gorgeous day, we spent...

Fringed Kimonos & Sunsets

Fashion•Outfits

Two things I absolutely love: fringed kimonos and sunsets. I love kimonos, especially when they have a fun pattern and unique style. This printed, fringed kimono from Zaful has every detail I love – the length, the colors, the pattern, the fringe – everything! I’ve been eyeing so many fringed booties too, I think I’m going to have to pick up a pair soon. Also, how awesome is this pearl blossom necklace from Happiness Boutique?! It reminds of one I’ve been wanting for a long time, but could never get myself to buy. This one looks and feels high quality, yet...

Travel Style

Fashion•Outfits•Travel

Jacket // Shirt // Sunglasses // Sneakers // Bag I always try my best to be comfy and stylish when traveling. So for my upcoming trip to Miami, I wanted to put together a simple, easy outfit that can keep me warm while still being in Minnesota, but easily transfer to Florida temperatures. A few of my favorite pieces for traveling are an oversized cardigan/sweater, stretchy jeans (or better known as jeggings), a t-shirt and sneakers. I also want a functional, yet stylish bag to have along as a carry on. This tote from Fjallraven Canada is the perfect size and a...

Patterned Wrap

Fashion•Outfits

This gorgeous patterned wrap has just a hint of metallic in it, making it perfect for this time of year. It gives it just enough of the holiday feel without being too obvious. I am also always am looking for ways to add color to my wardrobe during the winter, so this wrap is just what I’ve been looking for! Of course, I couldn’t go through my weekend without my trusty felt fedora – it could be the fact my roots are awful because I haven’t been to the hair salon since August (whoops). Anyway, make sure to check out...

Embroidered Top

Fashion•Outfits•Shopping

This embroidered top from OASAP is the perfect top for summer! It is light-weight with a beautiful pattern in blue. It also comes in four other beautiful colors for summer (love the navy color as well). This past Sunday, I wore it for date night to a local Mexican restaurant called El Patron! I would highly recommend this top or something similar for summer. It is light-weight and has a Mexican vibe, similar to the vibe this dress from Mexico has. I dressed the blouse down with cuffed jeans and my new open-toe booties, but I can’t wait to pair it with...

Striped Shirt + Puffer Vest

Fashion•Outfits

Yesterday I got to spend the day with my boyfriend’s family, and it was such a fun day with them (and full of delicious food)! Palm Sunday has always been a huge celebration for his family, and I feel so fortunate to have spent the day with them. I wish I would have been wearing some of my spring picks, but what can you do when it is 40 and windy on April 13th?! This is my second basic piece from Front Row Shop (see my first review here) and I am still impressed. This shirt is a great...

Leopard Layers

Outfits

I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with Front Row Shop, who sent me some basics to review. This long-sleeve navy t-shirt is just what I’ve been looking for to add to my weekend wardrobe.  It is extremely soft and sheer, so perfect for layering, and it has thumb holes. I used to think thumb holes were strange and annoying, but I’ve ordered a couple tops from Ellie for working out that have them, and after wearing those, I now love thumb holes! I simply roll up the ends of the sleeves when I don’t want...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my family came to visit and it was such an amazing time! We ate out, had brunch, watched Iowa State kill it in the championship game vs. Baylor and just enjoyed each other’s company. Today is my mom’s birthday and they are still in town, so I can’t wait to catch up with them for lunch before they head back to Iowa. I love you so much mom, I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all had an amazing, green-filled weekend 🙂 And HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
