The Modern-Picturesque Dream

Another Wedding Wednesday in the books!

I’m sharing some of the fun professional photos from my bachelorette weekend last month below! I chose to have Amy McKinlay Photography photograph my best babes and I to get some awesome shots to have as memories of the weekend and I absolutely love how they came out! Photos are so important to me, I love to have a slice of a moment that I can look back on and I knew I would want some of the weekend!

We stayed at the Sarasota Modern as I’ve shared before and this hotel is a dream! So clean and chic and a blogger/photographers dream come true! So many beautiful spots and details in the hotel that make it so picturesque and perfect! That was another reason I wanted photos there!

Long story short I highly recommend getting a photographer and taking all the photos for events leading up to your wedding whether that be for the bachelorette weekend, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, doesn’t matter just have someone there to document some of the once in a lifetime moments!

Summertime Fun with ArteSands Swim

Happy Wednesday ya'll! We are officially half way through the week! YAY! Can anyone else believe we are already more than half way through the year? Where does time go, truly?! Anyway we are still very much feeling the heat here in the sunshine state, so all the more reason to be living in our swimsuits! 

I want to talk about ArteSands Swimwear for a minute! This brand is truly amazing, and I love their mission! They really inspire women to embrace their curves and be confident in in their own skin and I think that is amazing for a brand! The quality of the pieces are great as well and they offer such classic silhouettes! Below you will find a cute highwaisted bikini but I also have two one pieces from ArteSands as well and their suits are my favorite to wear! Make sure to check out the brand HERE they really are amazing! 

I paired this look with my go to pool hate from LC Lauren Conrad, and a fun pineapple bag and hot pink sandals these are both from Old Navy. The sandals ya'll have heard me talk about they are my favorite and I want every color! This is my favorite pool look this summer thus far! What is your go to swimwear brand? Let me know!

Labor Day Ready!

Summer is coming to an end....in most places except here in the sunshine state! I'm super excited for Labor Day and everything that comes with it! I'm celebrating by going to a pool party this weekend and of course doing some shopping. This is my go to look for the pool! Living in FL these are essentials to have. Obviously a swim suit is a given, but everything is a fashion statement right? So you of course you need a cute cover up, sunnies, and flip flops to go with that bikini! This year VS announced they would no longer carry swimwear needless to say I bought more swimwear than I probably ever have in one summer, I had to stock up! The romper is VS as well, everything has been majorly discounted lately. The sandals are Sam Edelman which I got at a great discount from Nordstrom Rack > this place is heaven! Lastly the sunnies are Cole Haan from TJ Maxx, you can never go wrong with TJ Maxx! Hope you enjoy this look and have a fabulous Labor Day this weekend!
