Seeing Red

I tend to typically think of red as a Fall or Winter color. But it’s actually a perfect shade for summer too! And while this is a super simple dress, I love that it’s a little longer in the back than in the front.  Plus, it’s super comfy, and less than $20.  Can’t beat that!

Sightseeing in NYC

If you all are looking for a great basic top to add to your wardrobe, I can’t say enough about this Free People tunic.  It was the perfect shirt to layer with for sightseeing in some crazy weather in NYC the other week.  It’s also always a go-to when I travel, or when I’m looking for an easy outfit to throw on.  And the best part?  It’s on major sale right now and comes in a bunch of colors (I may or may not own 4 of them)!!!

Budget Denim

Truth be told, I am a creature of habit when it comes to denim.  AG and 7  for All Mankind are by far away and my favorite brands and have been for several years.  I’m also a fan of Paige, Joe’s, and Citizens.  But I don’t necessarily love the high price tag of these designer brands.  So every now and again, I’ll test out denim brands based on trend.

And that’s what led me to these jeans.  I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Emily, from The Sweetest Thing, wearing this specific pair and I thought they were so cute (she tends to wear the same brands of denim that I do), that I decided to give them a try.  And I am SO glad that I did!  Not only are they cute, comfy, and fit true to size, but the best part?  They are on sale for less than $90!  So if you are looking for new denim for the spring season, I would highly recommend these!

Happy Friday, my sweet friends!  Not to be a squeaky wheel, but if you have a chance to, I would be so appreciative if you would vote for me to be on the cover of Redbook Magazine’s September cover!  All you have to do is GO HERE and click vote!  You can vote as many times as you wish between now and May 10th!  And THANK YOU so much for your support!!!!

Love you guys!

Bootleg

I have to admit, I am so used to wearing my skinny jeans, that it feels a little funny to wear a different silhouette of denim.  And while it is definitely going to take some getting used to (just like it did when I started wearing skinnies!), I have to admit, it is kind of nice to add a different style to add to my wardrobe rotation.  But I want to know, what are you all thinking about the bootleg/flare denim trend this season?

Red White and Striped

You guys!  I am SO excited for the 4th of July!  It is one of my very favorite holidays!  And of course, I love dressing for the part as well.  So today, I wanted to share an Independence Day inspired post in case you are on the hunt for an outfit idea to wear this weekend!

White Out

I have been really loving white this summer.  And you know what else I have been loving?  SheIn (formerly Sheinside)!  They have the cutest clothes for really amazing prices.  And I have been impressed with the quality of all of the items I have ordered as well-especially this top.  It is fully lined and the fabric is gorgeous-not to mention the fact that it looks WAY more expensive than it is.  Would you believe me if I told you it was under $20??? Plus, if you spend over $49 with SheIn right now, you can get 35% off your order with code: sas35 at checkout.  How’s that for a Monday pick me up?

Top: SheIn (wearing a size medium) c/o | Skinnies: Joe’s Jeans | Cuffs: Macy’s | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Pumps: BCBG via DSW

Also, how cute would this outfit be for the 4th of July?  The red and white combo is perfect for your festive occasion! And if it’s set to be hot where you are, you can always change out the denim for shorts, and the pumps for wedges!  Easy as one, two, three!

You can also shop a few of my favorite dresses from SheIn below:

Red Off the Shoulder Dress

Black and White Striped Dress

White Lace Detail Dress

Pleated Dress

V-Neck Striped Dress

Floral Off the Shoulder Dress

Striped T-Shirt Tank Dress

Happy Monday, dolls!

 

 

Bonjour!

I love a good graphic tee.  And since I missed out on the Kiss tee that JCrew launched this fall, I pounced on the Hello tee as soon as I saw it in store.  And boy am I glad that I did.  It’s already made a plethora of appearances in my daily wardrobe, including on NYE when I wore it with a sequin jacket, ripped jeans, and sparkly pumps.  I mean what better way to say hello to the new year than on your t-shirt? And because a t-shirt and ripped jeans back to dressed up accessories is still going to be a go-to look for me in 2014, I can’t wait to come up with more ways to style this tee. But today’s look is probably my favorite to date-ultra laid back and causal with a splash of statement jewelry and a flash of silver accessories…

I don’t know about you all, but yesterday was painful.  I was so not ready for vacation to be over and to be back at work.  But the good news is, we are heading to Denver this weekend.  So I am definitely looking forward to a road trip with my sweet family and a little time spent in the Mile High City!

Hope your week is off to a far less painful start than mine! 😉
