Printed Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I do so much online shopping that I forgot how nice it is to try something on in store and fall in love with it. Falling in love happened last weekend with these printed pants from Banana Republic. Last Saturday, my family and I stopped into Banana Republic during their 4th of July, extra 40% off sale and my parents were generous enough to purchase them for me (thank you mom and dad)! Got to love having the parents in town, right?! These pants have the same feel in quality as this skirt (which I’ve had for over five years). They make...

Flirty Skirts

Fashion•Shopping

I absolutely love skater skirts, and while I haven’t bought or worn a trumpet style skirt, I still think they are just as flirty and fun. I think these types of skirts are perfect for the upcoming holiday (or non-holiday if you please)! Just wanted to share a few good skirt finds, all under $50, and inspire some looks for Valentine’s Day! Hot Pink Skater Skirt – H&M $39.95 Black Trumpet-Style Skirt – Kohl’s $33.00 Polka Dot Skater Skirt – Boohoo $26.00

If you follow me on Instagram, you have might have already seen these outfits, but when people ask me where things are from, I can’t link to anything or give an easy answer because I have no idea if something is still available. So  just wanted to do a short post to be able to share where some of these items are from! This dress is about a year old but still available! c/o Heiress (HERE) It is a great LBD with some sheer details and was perfect for a girl’s night out this past weekend! (P.S. how NOT...

Double Dots

Outfits

Well since I wore double stripes last week, I figured why not wear double polka dots this week? Well actually I didn’t really think about it, it just kind of happened. Same concept different day, only this time I added my red heels to help make a rainy day a little more bright. Hope you are all having a great week! Halfway there!

Rainy Day Outfits

Fashion

 image source  Now that it’s April, the rainy spring season is finally here (I think… there is always a possibility for more snow). Regardless, if you own a pair of rain boots and don’t always know how to style them, I have gotten some Pinterest inspiration for how to style them for those rainy days. Happy 1st of April! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

Polka Dot Maxi + Cowl Neck Sweater

Outfits

To me, nothing is more comfortable or stylish than a maxi skirt. You don’t have to worry about length (which for tall girls is always a problem when it comes to dresses, pencil and mini skirts) and they look incredibly chic, but you feel like you are still at home lounging around in your pajamas. I love winterizing  maxi skirts by simply pairing them with a sweater. I always belt a combo like this because the skirt and sweater are looser items, so by adding a belt, I give myself shape. Add some tall socks and a pair of boots and...

#OOTD

Outfits

Just thought I’d share some of my daily outfits that don’t make the blog, but are still a part of my documented daily style with a little hashtag action: #ootd. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Valentine’s Day: Lace Peplum Top- JCPenney (Similar here) Red Skirt- F21 (Similar here :: Last seen here)

Casual Friday + Polka Dots

Outfits

This Friday’s casual outfit was a complete recreation of a look from Happily Grey (see her outfit here). I pinned this look awhile back from my friend and once I got this polka dot top for my birthday, I remembered how striking a beige/black polka dot top looks with a neon scarf (Yup, that’s right… I can seriously remember WAY too many of the things I’ve pinned… kind of scary). Since I just got my neon infinity scarf with my January budget, it was the perfect time to try this look. I hate to admit that Casual Fridays are not easy...

Polka Dots at Work

Outfits

Some days I just want to match because honestly, it is just easy, right?  Well to make my gray dress and booties a bit more exciting, I added some navy polka dot tights and my mother’s polka dot earrings.  Sometimes I forget that earrings can add such a great touch to an outfit and after remembering to wear one of my more unique pairs with this outfit, I’m kicking myself in the butt for the days I forget to put earrings in at all. That my friends is life. It happens! Happy Friday Eve!

Thanks to @natureboxbeauty, I know my hair will be frizz-free all summer long using their 100% Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. What’s cold pressing exactly? 🤔 Cold pressing oils is the process of using extra pressure without excessive heat to extract the natural oils from fruits and nuts without chemicals or hot processing. Nature Box™ has a variety of shampoo and conditioner sets that include cold pressed oil from coconuts, avocados, apricots, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The set I got is exclusive to @cvspharmacy!
