Summer Night Out

Summer is probably my favorite season next to spring not only for the beach days and fun trips but the fashion! I love the bright colors and fun accessories. Summer is a time to be playful and just have fun and what better way to do that than with your wardrobe? Am I right?! Some of my best memories and fashion moments have definitely been in the summer time which is why I'm so excited to share this look with ya'll!

Date night usually consist of myself wearing skinny jeans and a cute (usually black or white) top and wedges. So I've decided to switch it up a bit, with the FL sunshine as hot as ever you don't need an excuse to wear a sundress. This is one of my go to's for summer, yes I know it has long sleeves but this dress is the lightest most breathable cotton and the sleeves eliminate having to bring a sweater to happy hour or the movies. I added the fun pineapple clutch for that fun summer touch and some nude wedges that are the most comfortable things ever, and with a fiance who's over 6 ft. tall I tend to sway towards wedges when I can (short girl here). 

You can find the dress and clutch at Old Navy and the wedges at Nordstrom Rack, but currently tons of places have cute sun dresses and wedges, including Target, Loft, and TJ Maxx! I've linked these pieces below for you to shop the look!

Let me know what you think of this look and what you like to wear on a date night in the summer time!!


T-Shirt Shop Series: Tropical Vibes

Happy Memorial Day Everyone! I hope ya'll have had a great weekend! We had such a great weekend hitting Hollywood Studios and Epcot for some fun since we recently became passholders, we are really trying to make the most of it! Also binge re-watched all of Season 2 of Riverdale because literally can not get enough of Bughead, anyone else? I just love the show and all the characters so much! Needless to say we had a fun weekend! 

 Here's my favorite look of the summer T-shirt Shop Series! Perfect for the weekend and summer time here in Florida! I'm obsessed with the floral print shorts and graphic T and how perfect is the pool and palm trees? I live where you vacation and I am so grateful I live in the sunshine state! The look again is all Old Navy and super affordable and I love that all the pieces can easily be paired with other things! 

Hope you all have a great short work week! Let me know what you think about this look and if you want to see something specific on the blog!

T-Shirt Shop Series: Let's Fiesta!

Happy Tuesday ya'll! It's so good to be back! I'm sorry for my absence on the blog, I've been going through some things over the last month and the blog took a back seat. Long story short I work a full time 8-5 job, am a photographer & a blogger. Needless to say I was burnt out and needed a short break. I was getting sick on and off and stressing about life and I needed to take a chill pill. Anyways I'm here and back with fresh content for you guys and couldn't be more excited to share it! 

If you have been with me since the beginning you know last year I started something on my blog call "The T-Shirt Shop Series." This was super popular last year and I've brought it back for a second round because let's be real, I'm a Florida girl and love my shorts and a good        T-shirt! 

This first look was actually my Cinco de Mayo look and I'm obsessed with it! The whole look is from Old Navy, shocking I know but I love it! The shorts are probably the most comfy pair of bottoms ever and I love the embroidery detail on them. The T-shirt, I mean need I say more this is perfect for summer especially! The sandals I currently own in two colors and need every pair! They are probably the best slip sandals I've ever owned and adore the bright colors for summer time! 

Let me know what you all think and how you like to wear your T-shirts in the comments below!

New Smyrna Beach Day

Summer is on its way here in the sunshine state! We have already made a few local beach trips to New Smyrna Beach our go to beach here in Orlando. If you have never been it's an awesome drive on beach making it the most convenient to pack lunch and drinks and have a day at the beach without lugging your stuff from the car to the beach, perfection! Saturday was perfect beach weather and so beautiful! We of course went with our friends and had an amazing time and of course snapped some photos as well!

The beach is my favorite place, the best place to take a minute and reset! I was born and raised in Florida and could never imagine not living remotely close to a beach! What about you? Love the beach or no? 

Again all my pieces are linked below. Everything is super affordable, the suit is actually from  TJ Maxx and the top and shorts are Old Navy and the hat is my favorite LC by Lauren Conrad for Kohls, make sure to check them out!



Easter Florals

Happy Monday Y'all! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! I had a little me time getting a facial on Saturday and some amazing brunch yesterday for Sunday Funday with our favs, but you're here for the fun floral look below right?! This is another great option for Easter and for spring with the floral details and fun colors. This dress again is from Old Navy along with the baby blue flats! The bag is from Hobo International and I love it for going out or when you don't need to carry a big bulky bag. The flats come in tons of colors and are super comfortable, easy to wear at work and then out or traveling, simply versatile! I love this look and I hope you enjoy it! What are you doing for the holiday? Anything special? Let me know!

 

There are tons of fun things coming up and I can't wait to share them with you guys! We are working on booking some more trips and I'm working on tons of new looks and content for you! xoxo

Blushing Pink

We are gearing up for spring which means I'm pulling out my pastels, my favorite! This is one of my favorite outfits to go from a day at the office to happy hour after work. I really love to have pieces in my closet that are easy to wear casually or dress them up, versatility is key! This top is from Loft on sale, skirt is TJ Maxx and shoes are from Nordstrom Rack. All classic pieces that can mix and match with other things! This is also a great look for Easter coming up and I'll be posting some great dresses for the holiday as well in the next few weeks! Make sure to keep an eye out! 

Denim Days

Spring and summer are upon us but there is nothing better than a cute top and jeans for any and every occasion! As much as I love dresses and skirts I'm a sucker for a great pair of jeans. My favorite jeans tend to be anything Old Navy especially the style you see here, High Rise Rockstar. They are the most comfortable everyday denim that go with everything! I paired it with this off the shoulder Loft top heels from Target and Bag from Bloomingdale's. I love petite details as well and am obsessed with the sleeves on this top it gives this understated look a little something extra! Just a great look to always have in your closet for going out for happy hour or a shopping day!

Where do you like to shop for denim and where do you purchase your favorite jeans?            Let me know in the comments below!

Walking Into Spring

Happy Monday everyone! As we start moving from February to March I can't help but start pulling out my spring colors and accessories. Here in Florida the weather is back to normal and we are already gearing up for beach trips and pool days since it looks like summer will be here soon for us, therefore I'm enjoying our few weeks of "spring" that we get here. I love spring and summer for the colors and prints! One of my favorite colors is royal blue a great transition from winter to spring, not to bold just yet! I've paired this blue dress with a pink bag and heels keeping the look simple but still fun and very spring. 

The dress is from Kohl's, the bag is Michael Kors, and the shoes are Halogen from Nordstrom Rack. As I've mentioned before I love a great deal and will occasionally splurge on designer items but I always grab them when there's a sale! Hope you all love this look! Let me know what you like to wear in the springtime! 

Poppin' Pink

Happy February Everyone! With Valentine's Day only weeks away I'm pulling together a few Valentine's looks for y'all! What better way to be festive than with a pop of pink! This is one of my favorite looks for Valentine's Day, it's perfect for the office or date night...or both! I'm loving the classic black flare skirt with the pop of pink and black t-strap heels! It's perfect for all my girls out there that don't want to be in your face Valentine's but still festive! 

If this is still to bold for you try just incorporate some accessories that are for the holiday! Maybe a heart necklace or pink or red bag, something along those lines would be perfect with a solid black dress or jeans and a top!

What is your go to Valentine's look? Do you love the super girly look or like something less pink? Let me know below!

Happy Holly Days

Christmas is officially 10 days away! I swear I blink on Halloween and suddenly it's Christmas! Anyone else feel that way? I am done with shopping (except for online) since the stores are manic and am so excited to share this next holiday look with y'all.

 This midi dress from Old Navy is perfect for the holidays especially in this red! A plus, it's under $50 and super comfortable and wearable throughout the whole year! I paired it with some velvet blush heels from TJ Maxx to keep with the holiday feel as well as velvet bag from Kohl's. I've been loving the velvet trend lately which I'm sure you all can see in this look and several upcoming looks as well! The velvet adds a luxurious feel to the look and is super festive as well!

Featured below is the

"The Faux Turban" in Starlight & "The Tie Side" in Starlight
 

 


I loved styling the faux turban with a slightly dressier outfit as this is a great headband for a date night or dinner out! I paired the headband with a simple shift dress and long cardigan and booties, perfect for fall and super easy yet still put together.


My favorite way to style the tie-side headband is to keep the outfit pretty casual and let the headband add a bit of fun to the look! I usually always wear my tie-side as you see below with with a sweater, jeans and flats or a t-shirt and denim shorts. The tie-side is perfect if you don't want to really do anything with your hair that day you can throw it up in a top knot or a ponytail and still look cute!
