Citrus//Turquoise

April 27, 2014

Wearing: Bar III dress (similar) | INPINK Turquoise Calypso bib necklace c/o | Macy's sandals | Forever 21 sunglasses (such a good deal!) | Revlon 'Kiss Me Coral' lip color

Hello lovelies! Hope you're ready to start a new week! I chose to rock this citrus dress in a very simple manner by pairing it with a contrasting turquoise colored statement necklace! I had so many comments on the contrast of these colors when I wore this outfit that it inspired me to buy two other tops in neon just to pair with this necklace. That's when you know you've got an amazing statement piece ;)

Happy Thursday fashionistas! I chose to style this simple crochet dress courtesy of Chicwish with neutral colors and a pop of pink lipstick and my darling new mint statement necklace- I'd also love to pair this with a denim jacket or denim vest and nude wedges for a fancier look! I chose to style my Rebecca Minkoff MAC as my favorite handbag for our trend this week! This thing went everywhere with me in Vegas because it's compact, versatile, and it's a RM bag, so of course it's fabulous! I can't wait to see your favorite handbags :)

Happy Thursday everyone! It's going to be a quick one since this has officially been the longest week ever! I styled boyfriend shorts for the 'menswear inspired' trend we chose, and I dressed them up with a feminine touch. The bunch of pearls and pink lips make these baggy things a little more flirty! Want to see a funny video of me styling boyfriend shorts three ways? (Also apparently I teach you how to style them) Click HERE to see the "how to style boyfriend" shorts video!

April 15, 2014

I am so excited to share this amazing new accessory with you today! It's not only stylish but majorly functional! These lovely little things are called Luxe Links. These link to your purse and hook to a table at a restaurant [or in my case my favorite local coffee shop!] so that you don't have to set your purse on the floor or keep it on your lap. I have to admit, I'm very protective of my purses. I don't want to set them on the gross floor where people walk, or keep them on my lap where food could potentially spill on it!

Neon Dip

April 13, 2014

Hello lovely ladies! These photos were taken this weekend on a very gorgeous day - it's already starting to heat up around here! I foresee many pool days in my future. Anyway, I had just colored my hair, and I must say I'm absolutely in love with it. I'm most comfortable with super light blonde hair, but as I get older, I started wishing that my lovely blonde locks had a more natural look to them. Therefore, I asked my amazing stylist, Ashlie, to color my hair in more of a Lauren Conrad tone. She did an absolutely fabulous job, and it seems as though this may be a little more low maintenance for summer. My hair is growing super fast, but not fast enough! Trying to be patient here.

Anyway, I absolutely adore this sundress. It is classic, fun, super light, and airy. The neckline looks great with a statement necklace, and for work last week I paired this with a denim jacket. I think the smaller stripes on my TOMS wedges just complete the look for a tiny bit of pattern mixing.

Happy Thursday everyone! I must say - I don't believe that there's anything more Springy than a denim jacket! (Besides floral maybe…) I wore this simple outfit with my amazing and versatile fedora and patterned wedges to do some serious leg-elongating...That's a thing, right? Hope you're having a fabulous week!

Navy & White

April 06, 2014

Happy Sunday evening, lovelies! I knew the second I laid eyes on this dress that I had to have it. The navy and white is a combination that I'm a total sucker for! What's even better is that this dress was on major sale! Half off of $50 - is it just me or is JC Penney nailing it for Spring?! They have so many darling dresses available, and super cute casual clothes by Joe Fresh. Wishing you well this week!

Hi ladies! This week we're styling floral print for Spotlight Weekly! I'm sorry to those who aren't able to rock bare legs yet, but don't worry it's April now, so Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner! This is actually the first time I've styled flora print all season, which is somewhat surprising since it's such a classic for this time of year. I prefer this particular print with small stripes and for this specific outfit I stuck to blue hues. Which of course was perfectly complimented by my gorgeous birthstone ring from Red Envelope! I also chose to incorporate these gorgeous bracelets from Antebellum Baubles because of their fun teal/greenish hues. According to the owner, Megan, these are the new Spring colors! Aren't they gorgeous!? I can definitely see myself wearing them all season long.
