Navy Kimono Wrap Dress for Spring & Summer

Fashion•Outfits

Every time spring hits in Minnesota, it’s like breathing in new life. Just a bit of sunshine can equate to hours of happiness. Dear sunshine, please never leave. It also means it’s time to pull out my favorite spring and summer clothes! From open-toed heels this kimono wrap dress with a slit, I’m hoping the spring and summer months won’t pass us by too quickly because right now I’m in love.

New Shoes : How to Style Open-Toe Booties

Shopping

I just ordered this pair of open-toe booties from ShoeDazzle (for 30 cents I might add)… such a steal, right?! Well, I had VIP credits saved up from being a part of the program for over a year, so they were $29.95 and I had $26.65 in credit! I couldn’t resist these, I’ve seen so many people style them so well, I had to get a pair for myself. Here are four ways to style open-toed booties for spring and summer! I love the idea of open-toe booties with a shirt dress! I have seen so many cute outfits...

Spring Into Capes

Outfits

I have always wanted to purchase a cape, so when the opportunity came along to review one from TBDress I was very excited! Unfortunately this one is not very well made, and the black lining looks very cheap up close. The fabric is pretty stretchy though, so at least it is comfy. Sometimes you get lucky with lower-priced items, this time around it did not pay off. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this weather. I could soak it up all day except that I’m in the office from 8-5. I really want to purchase this tote in black and coral...

New Purchases

Fashion•Shopping

  (sandals, patterned pants, red cropped pants, t-strap mary janes) Well I have been doing some shopping already in March (whoops… can’t say no to some of the great deals), but this month I’m approaching shopping a little differently. I have clothing needs and wants (I REALLY need some new work-appropriate pants. I REALLY wanted a new strappy, fun pair of nude sandals), but I am trying to already plan how to fit these items in with what I already own. I always try to think of this, but it rarely ever happens. Sometimes that means my new items...

Patterned Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I haven’t ever been a huge fan of patterned pants. Not because I don’t like the way they look on others, but I always felt like they highlighted the area that I hate most about myself (errr my thighs). I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs in my confidence surrounding my body since starting this blog, but one thing is certain now, I LOVE my thick legs and I am not afraid to dress them in patterns. I love this pair (that I got for $10 by the way, STEAL) because they are so easy to pair...

January Budget 2014

Fashion•Shopping

HELLO! It is already January 31st. Although it has felt like a long month (thanks to the lovely weather), it also flew by. Got back from Vegas late Tuesday night and have literally just been trying to catch up on life. Honestly, we didn’t really take many pictures, just some I captured on Instagram, so I probably won’t have much to share here! I didn’t even get a full picture in my gold sequin dress! FAIL. Epic fail. Oh well, my boyfriend and I had good time and that’s all that matters! Onto the January budget. I didn’t do...

Accessories•Shopping

    Well after posting about how much I love ShoeDazzle yesterday, I now feel obligated to share the amazing sale they have going on for Memorial Day weekend! AN EXTRA 30% off sale styles.  I just bought these gorgeous cognac wedges (top middle), which I am going to be wearing non-stop this summer!

Summer Sandal Styles

Shopping

I am seriously obsessed with ShoeDazzle and have already purchased a pair of the Whitney floral heels and a pair of the Emmalina cap-toe flats in white. Their recent selection of cute strappy flat sandals and adorable wedges are making me want to up my monthly budget. Can’t I just have them all?! The last thing I need is more shoes, but who can resist these adorable styles for under $50? Do you own any shoes from ShoeDazzle?   These heels were super fun to wear for a night out with some of my friends back in Iowa! I’ve been wearing these flats NON-STOP...
