What to Wear to a Bridal Shower

Fashion•Outfits

Happy Monday friends! This past weekend was an amazing, yet crazy one. My family hosted and celebrated two showers this weekend – my little sister’s bridal shower and my older sister’s baby shower. SURPRISE! I’m going to be an aunt!!!!!!!!!!! This year is going to be a life-changing, epic one for my family. My little sister and I are getting married, my older sister is having her first baby, and the first grandchild of our family, and my mom is retiring. So many reasons to celebrate. So many reasons to be thankful. So many reasons to have a full...

Flamingo, Flamingo

Fashion•Outfits

As the end of summer approaches, I have decided to take the opportunity to wear some of my favorite summer pieces before it’s too late! As much as I love the bright colors, swimwear, floral prints, maxi dresses and sandals, I can’t wait for my favorite fashion season…fall! Which, in Pocahontas terms (my favorite Disney movie), is just around the river bend. But until then, here is my farewell to summer. This flamingo print skirt is having one of its last glory days before being stowed away in a summer/spring clothes box for the next six months or so. While I’m a...

Colorful Maxi Dress + Jean Jacket

Outfit details: Dress, c/o Modcloth (Similar here and here)| Flats, Gifted from a friend (Similar here and here) | Jean Jacket, Thrifted (Similar here, here and here) | Earrings, c/o Accessory Mercado (Similar) Every time I throw on my denim jacket, I for some reason feel like I should be grabbing a pair of cowboy boots or hopping in a time machine back to the 90s. But to me, denim jackets will always and forever be in style and appropriate for all occasions. They are just a great staple to add a dimension of casual to your outfit! I thrifted this...

Summer Style: Polka Dot Dress

Fashion•Outfits

Outfit details: Dress, Vintage (Similar vintage one here, similar styles here, here and here)| Wedges, Steve Madden via Marshall’s (Similar here and here) | Hat, J.Crew (Similar here and here) Every summer, I love the opportunity to wear my favorite vintage dresses and make it my go-to summer style! One of my favorites that I’ve had for years, is an easy-breezy button-up polka dot dress. I’ve worn it previously on the blog with a tweed jacket and once with a bow belt, but this weekend – I wore it simply with a summer straw hat and a pair of...

What I’m Packing for Our Summer Road Trip: Denver, Colorado

Fashion•Travel•U.S.

Today is the day! My fiancé Joe, Emma and I are taking off on a road trip tonight and traveling to Denver Colorado. First of all, let me just say how excited I am – I have never been to Colorado and I feel like I’m missing out based on raving reviews I’ve heard from several friends and family members! There’s nothing more exciting to me than discovering and exploring a new place. I don’t have to be doing anything particularly that exciting to be happy – just exploring a new place, whether a local brewery or talking to...

Summer Floral Maxi Dress

Fashion•Outfits

While it may not be officially summer yet, it is to me! Once we hit June, those of us in Minnesota like to consider that we are in the “safe zone”. Which means, I’m breaking out all of my favorite prom dresses, especially my maxi dresses because of how easy, stylish and comfortable they are. This one is a favorite because it reminds me of Miami. My parents were sweet and purchased this for me as a gift on our family vacation. Along with a tan belt, handbag and sandals, this maxi is perfect for any weekend summer occasion...

Summer Sequins

Fashion•Outfits•Shopping

Happy Friday friends! I am so excited for today and this weekend as one of my best friends is getting married tomorrow. Nervous too – hello short speech that I’m not prepared for! Sometimes I get into a dress rut during the summer – sounds silly because I love dresses and they make me feel dressed up, but how many maxis can I really wear all summer long (I should really say repeat all summer long)? That’s why when I found this sequin aztec tank top at Charming Charlie’s for $7 the weekend I visited my little sister, I...

#VacayEveryDay with Palm Breeze

Fashion•Food•Lifestyle

I have always been one to look as far ahead as I could when it comes to planning and taking vacations. It makes life more exciting to have something to look forward to, and plan on exploring a new place. After our trip to Vegas, the rest of the year is pretty quiet (no complaints of course, I feel very fortunate to have traveled as much as I have this year)! But being the vacation planner I am, I am already talking to my boyfriend about where we should go next. In the meantime, I’m vacationing on my own...
