Loving Lavender-Talking Spring & Easter

Happy April Everyone!

I’m one week three of working from home, how about you? How are you doing with the current situation right now? I took a poll over on my Instagram over the weekend and the majority of you said you weren’t shopping but were still browsing and wanted to see new things! Y’all also said you wanted to see move spring fashion as well! Although we might be stuck inside for Easter this year I wanted to share what I was planning on wearing next Sunday!

You know I love pastels and I’ve been loving lavender recently! I grabbed this Gal Meets Glam dress last year on sale and thought it would be perfect for Easter and spring festivities, unfortunately didn’t know what was coming for us this year, but hey let’s make the most of it, still dress up, still make a nice brunch, and celebrate Easter!

I’m planning on cooking brunch and doing a little something for Travis since we do baskets for each other usually for Easter, it’s a tradition in my family! I’ll still be dressing up and possibly wearing this dress!

What are you all going to do for Easter, how are you going to celebrate this year?

Spring Shoes & Accessories Must Haves-Featuring Vionic Shoes

Happy Wednesday Babes!

Last week we talking about spring fashion and some trends that are huge for spring. This week I want to share some ways I accessorize for spring and my go to accessories for spring!

Being a Florida girl I love my sandals not just for Spring and Summer but year round! I’ve been obsessed with these Gold Kirra Perf Sandals from Vionic since I received them! They are super comfortable and provide actual support to the arch of the foot and are super well made! I highly recommend checking them out for comfortable and stylish shoes!

Also with sandals I love a few other keys accessories for spring; I love headbands, statement earrings, and bags! Especially for spring I’m living for the clear bag trend still along with a good white bag, making any look more spring! Headbands have been all the rage for the last several months and spring is no exception, Amazon has tons of great affordable ones! Y’all know I love my statement earrings and Kate Spade have some of my favorites for this time of year!

Go Bananas! -LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

As spring is approaching I’m pulling out all the dresses! I absolutely love a t-shirt dress and this one from LC Lauren Conrad is super fun with the banana print! I actually picked this up this winter at Kohl’s on clearance! You can still find it online for $10 it’s a steal! Something here in Florida I can wear all year long especially spring and summer! We all love pieces that can be worn all throughout the year and honestly here in the sunshine state I wear a lot of dresses!

I paired it with some LC Lauren Conrad rose gold sandals and my favorite amazon clear bag from last year! This is perfect for brunch or running errands! Also would be cute paired with a denim jacket and sneakers too for a more casual look! T-shirt dresses are great for all figures and I love that this one has the cute print and tie sleeves, the fabric is a dream too!

This year I’m focusing on being more intentional with my purchases and that goes for clothes too! Shopping my closet more and donating more if I want to purchase some new things! I’m definitely paying more attention to what I’m spending money on!

I’m so excited to share more spring fashion with y’all over the next few months!

What do you like to wear during spring time? Let me know below!

Blush Pink Spring Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

On Wednesdays we wear pink and I am so ready for spring and all the pastels! I’ve been living for this faux wrap dress from LC Lauren Conrad and I want it in every color! This dress is perfect for all body types with its fit and flare skirt and bubble sleeves it’s super flattering and fun for all seasons! It comes in several colors and is available at Kohl’s. This dress definitely runs true to size, if you’re curvier I recommend sizing up one, but I found my regular size large fit perfect!

I paired it with this Chanel dupe and LC Lauren Conrad block heels. This is a great look for Valentine’s, Easter, bridal showers, brunch, it’s a great dress to have in your closet! It can definitely be worn with some ballet flats and jean jacket or dressed up like this!

Pastels are classic for spring and you will be seeing a lot more pastels on the blog this season!

Valentine's Plans- LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday babes!

With Valentine’s Day days away i wanted to share another fun look from LC Lauren Conrad with y’all in case you were looking for something to wear still!

I love that the dress and shoes can really be worn all through spring and summer. The flats are great for everyday and the dress is super light weight and great for the hotter months. The heart bag is really what makes this whole look perfect for Valentine’s Day! It also carries the perfect amount of stuff and is just a perfect touch!

Plans wise Travis and I have never been huge Valentine’s people. Just having each other has always been enough. We have cooked dinner in, gone out to eat, but we don’t do anything super grandiose. We will be going to the Melting Pot this year for dinner and just celebrating 2 weeks of marriage, just enjoying each other!

I also love a good Galentine’s Day event! Mer and I have fun plans including pizza and cheesy movies and all the candy! Girls no matter if you have a man in your life or not you can always celebrate with you girls!

What do you all like to do for Valentine’s Day? Let me know!

Happy Friday babes!

I’m finally getting back to y’all as wedding weekend has already come and gone in a flash and I have some fun Valentine’s Day looks for you! Everything is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and all these pieces are perfect for whatever V-Day plans you might have!

I love this super flirty look! Y’all know I love a graphic t-shirt and this one with the fun printed skirt and fuzzy sweater is so fun and playful! Great for Galentine’s or a shopping trip! The flats keep it simple and practical and paired with this fun heart handle bag is perfection! Definitely pieces that can all be worn in several ways which is key when buying things for my closet!

Hope y’all are having a great week thus far! This week I wanna talk a little bit about this look but I also have a lot of random rabbles and life update! First off I’m super over whelmed with work right now as we are in busy season, from 9-5pm I work in the real estate industry and it is never a dull moment! I have the pleasure of meeting a lot of amazing and interesting people but y’all this business is not for the faint of heart. But anyway I’ve been struggling a lot with balancing work and what I really love doing which is my blog and photo business. I would love to tell y’all I have it all figured out but that is just not the case. I’m working on organizing and managing my time better and will update you later on what I’m changing and doing.

As for the blog I’m working on a lot of new content for you, trying to expand more and not just focus on fashion but beauty and lifestyle. I have tons coming up with summer fashion, wedding planning tips and tricks, organization, and everything in between. I would love if you could let me know what you are wanting to see or need on the blog! Please let me know in the comments below!

As for wedding there is a lot happening! I’m mostly excited for my bachelorette weekend as I know a little bit about it and it’s at my favorite place! I can not wait! Super excited for picturesque moments with my best babes! Stay tuned for more!

Ok lastly lets talk about this look really quick! I’m loving the gingham trend right now and this little number you guessed it is from Old Navy! I paired it with my favorite summer sandals right now, my favorite amazon clear bag and Kate Spade necklace. I’m living for the bright colors and summer feel and the fabric on this is super light weight, perfect for this FL weather!

That’s it for now, have a great rest of your week!

Dresses are always my go to for the summer time, especially here in Florida! Dresses aren’t just the easiest thing to wear with just one and done piece but also something that is breathable and comfortable.
