Spring Break with Sakroots

While I didn’t get to go on spring break this year, I am always looking for ways to celebrate the idea of it during the month of March. Last year I was in Miami with my family, and this year, I’m pairing together a waterproof, bright, printed beach bag and a teal pair of shoes from Sakroots to bring spring break to Minnesota. Don’t you just LOVE the fun print on this XL clear beach tote? This one is in the print Citrus Zen Garden! While the grass is brown and grim now, in a short couple of months, the...

Summer Shoes: Splurge vs. Save

Accessories

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) I’ve been seeing a lot of similar, less pricey versions of some of the summer shoes I’ve been drooling over… so I thought I would share a quick round up of those shoes today! I hope you had a wonderful weekend… I unfortunately was sick on Friday and feel like I’ve been trying to catch up ever since. Hoping for a productive Monday to get me back in the groove of things!

Patterned Sweater

Outfits

This open-face cardigan has been a great addition for this winter. The pattern is fun, but is easily paired with a lot in my closet, both for work and the weekend. I wore this outfit last Saturday, finally putting together a shorts + tights look even though it wasn’t the best choice for the weather (hence the indoor photos). I hope you had a great weekend, and are having a good Monday! As good as Mondays get anyway!

So You Want to be a Thrifter – Part 1: Making a Plan

Shopping

Hello!!!!!!!! Happy Tuesday. I have decided to start a short series on my thrifting experiences, and the best way to go about it if you are new to it. Just this past week, I scored a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans at my local Goodwill for $14.99! Fit perfectly, were in great shape and just a fraction of the price. A lot of my favorite pieces have been thrifted over the years, so I can’t wait to share some of my tips (hopefully they are helpful)! First a little background into my thrifting experience: I have been...

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...

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! (And going onto June’s budget since I’m already WAY OVER May’s budget. I know I’m so bad 🙁 just wait until I justify my purchases to you). Anyway, I rounded up my favorite styles from what’s on sale and wanted to share with you! Hurry...

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...

No More Boots: Summer 2013 Shoe Trends

Accessories•Fashion•Shopping

As any fashionista knows, it’s no good laying back and waiting for the latest fashion trends to wash over you. Planning a wardrobe in advance is key to keeping on-trend and in style. So why plan for spring when you could plan for summer? Crank up the expectation, remind yourself of beaches and barbecues, and get your footwear ready for what may, possibly, if we’re really lucky, turn out to be a great British summer. Roll on June! If you need a reminder of what’ll be hot and what’ll be not this summer, here’s a reminder of some of...
