T-Shirt Dress

I’ve always wanted a cute t-shirt dress, but could never find one that was flattering and didn’t, ah-hem, put a little too much on display.  So I was thrilled when I stumbled on this one at the Gap recently.  Not only is it super comfy, but it hits in all the right places and is thick enough that it doesn’t show every detail.  Plus, it comes in a ton of cute colors !

Independence Day

In honor of the holiday weekend, I wanted to share one more patriotic inspired look with you all.  And this one is a classic take on traditional red, white, and blue.  I love this look for a backyard BBQ, or for a morning of parades and brunching.  Whatever you have going on this weekend, this is a simple yet festive look that is sure to work for just about any occasion!

Flower Power

I am fairly short, at just 5’3″, but I have long legs and a short torso, so shopping in the petites department doesn’t typically work for me.  I normally just buy regular sizing, and if I ever run into a pant inseam that is a little too long, I just take them to my (amazing!) tailor here in the SLC.  So when I spotted this cute peplum jacket a couple of months ago at Macy’s, and the XS was too big for me, I was initially at a loss.  But when I noticed it also came in petite, I decided to give it shot.  And guess what?  It worked perfectly!  It was a great reminder for me that if I ever have trouble with regular sizing, that petites can be a great alternative.  So if you are on the short side like me, don’t forget about the petite department!

Romper Time

When I stumbled on a romper version of my favorite shirt ever, I knew that I had to have it.  But because I have long legs, and a short torso (I’m still only 5’3″), I tend to struggle with finding rompers that fit my body type.  So when I put it on and it fit perfectly (and felt like pajamas!) it was a definite no-brainer.  And it really is a perfect summer addition to my wardrobe that is different than anything else I own, all the while being as familiar as my favorite shirt.  And an added bonus?  It’s the perfect thing to wear for the 4th of July paired back to red heels and a bold red lip!

Pleats

I am loving the pleated trend this season.  And of course navy.  I don’t know what it is about navy dresses, but I am always drawn to them.  So when I spotted this navy pleated number at BCBG, I knew it was a great summer dress-perfect for a plethora of different occasions, and an easy piece to style a lot of different ways.  And those are the best types of items to add to your wardrobe-the ones that give you lots of options…

Gingham

Gingham has always been one of my very favorite prints.  So when I saw that my favorite Portofino shirt from Express came in a light blue gingham this spring, it was an obvious choice to add to my wardrobe.  And let me tell you, I have already worn this shirt a ton AND have so many more ideas of how I will continue to style it different ways all summer long. But I want to know, what you are guys thinking of the gingham trend this season?

Sheinside

I’ve been eyeing the Sheinside website for quite a while now.  So when they reached out and asked if I would be interested in trying out some of their clothes, I couldn’t help but oblige.  And while there were SO many cute things to choose from on their site, I ultimately settled on a dress that is almost identical to my favorite Free People dress (which you can see here).  At a mere price tag of $30 vs. the $148 original version, I wanted to compare the two and really get a feel for the quality of clothing on Sheinside.  And you guys, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. While it is a little shorter than the my Free People dress, I overall like the fit better.  The arms were also a little slimmer too, which I also prefer.  And I have to say, I was also quite impressed with the quality-not only the was the fabric very nice, but the dress was also fully lined.  After this experience, I will definitely be shopping with Sheinside again.  In fact, you can see my current wish list at the bottom of the post!

Neon

We have been having the rainiest weather here in Utah, which has made it really difficult to take outfit photos.  So my apologies for being a little quiet over here on the blog.  Hopefully once we get through this week, our normal sunny weather will decide to return to us!  But today, I wanted to share one of my favorite tops with you.  And not just because I love it, but because you can score it on MAJOR sale today!  Not only is it the perfect length (a little longer than most button downs), but it has super cute grosgrain ribbon trim, and is the perfect punch of color for both spring and summer (think of how cute it would look with white!!).  Link is below!





  Neon Top:  JCrew (use code: SALENEWS for an additional 30% off-also comes in white) | Skinnies: Paige Denim | Tassel Necklace: Jeweliq, LOVE this | Rings: Suz Somersall (here and here) | Cuff: Macy’s | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Tory Burch | Heels: INC (LOVE these, really comfy)

Hope you are all having a fantastic!  Thank you SO much for stopping by!

 

 

 

 

No Parking

When I was a senior in high school, one of my favorite senior portraits was in front of a really cool “No Parking” sign painted on a falling down building.  So when we were heading out to dinner in SF last weekend with friends and I saw this sign on the side of garage, I had to make J stop and snap some photos for the blog.  And while I am wearing my usual go-to out outfit (leather jacket, a silky blouse, and my favorite skinnies), it’s my shoes that are noteworthy.  As I’ve said many times before, I am a sucker for a great pair of statement shoes, and these certainly fit the bill.  And not only is this particular pair gorgeous (you should see them in person!) AND under $70, but they are super comfy to boot!

Brights

In case you haven’t noticed, I am into all things floral lately.  I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to help myself.  And stripes and florals together?  Pretty sure that is one of my favorite combos of all time.  Especially when you add in a little pop of leopard!
