Jewelry For Moms & Valentino Dupes

March 07, 2016

Hi loves! I'm sharing quite a few fun things today! First, I want to comment on this simple, casual outfit! I absolutely love how comfy these Articles of Society jeans are, and this flowy, printed tee is the right amount of sass for a casual outfit! I am super excited to be guest hosting the Trend Spin Link-Up this week with my girls Laura of Walking in Memphis in High Heels, and Erin of The Fashion Canvas. I have known these beauties for quite some time, and I'm constantly inspired by their work, and their style of course.

I also want to share some awesome new jewelry I found for mamas and babywearers! I don't know about you, but I've always been a major jewelry wearer! Ever since becoming a mama I've had to rethink my jewelry ensemble. I still wear a cute necklace here and there, but it seems that everything ends up getting tugged on by my sweet babe! Enter Far More Than Rubies mama metal.

If you've never heard of the term 'mama metal' before it is basically pure silver jewelry constructed to be super strong, and endure little fingers playing with your jewelry! Grace loves the sounds my special links make, and they can actually be worn a variety of ways with this cool double clasp chain. I find myself getting giddy about getting ready in the morning and putting this on because I know how much Gracie likes it. Be sure to check out Far More Than Rubies on Facebook and Instagram; her prices are amazing compared to other mama metal shops, and she's an absolute sweetheart!

Ever been so in love with an item, but your wallet just isn't on the same page? Yes, that's me and these rockstud gladiator sandals.... be sure to check out these dupes I found. I bought them right away in both colors because $32.99. Need I say more?

Head over to Target.com to snatch up these amazing sandals, because they won't be in stock for long!

Blue With A View

February 10, 2014

Hi everyone! Hopefully you had a restful weekend full of joy. I spent lots of time with family this past weekend, and it was grand. We snapped these photos of my very casual, very pink-develoted outfit on Saturday morning after a relaxing coffee run! I am a huge dress lady, so while all of my wonderfully stylish East coast friends are bundled up, I'm over here in bare legs and dresses every day. I guess it's a blessing and a curse- no chic layers for me this Winter!

I styled this dress with a glitzy statement necklace, but purposefully wore it underneath the collar for more of a peek-a-boo type look, then let the giant pink flower really shine as my main accessory! One last thing...J and I watched an AMAZING film this past weekend. It's called The Broken Circle Breakdown, and was nominated for an Oscar [of course!] as best foreign film.. It will absolutely win, and I would love for you to watch the trailer and maybe even rent/buy it to support the film. It is easily one of my favorite movies of all time because of it's beauty. It made me appreciate every single relationship in my life, and that's what many film makers strive to do… it was so successful.

P.S. Stay tuned for a REALLY EXCITING giveaway for all of you awesome readers/bloggers- my Valentine's gift to you <3

Our trend this week is Winter White, but it doesn't really feel like winter here, so I opted for my favorite white shirtdress. It's classic, clean, bright, and serves as a pretty great canvas for my awesome pink Valentino knock-offs. Too bad the lighting in these is super harsh- it made it look even more like a very brightttt white!

The lovely Jacqueline and I post our link-ups every Thursday! This week our theme is outfits that feature winter white! Come back weekly to visit us! (Click after the break to link-up!)

Pink Lady

September 09, 2013

Here's a bright and cheery outfit for a gloomy (it rained all day where I live!) and tiring Monday! I do have to say that the day got better and better as it went on. So, all in all, it was an okay day. Can I just say that you can never have enough pink? Also did I mention that I wore this outfit to a football watch party this past weekend? Yeah, I did… and I loved it. Girly girl for life.

Friends, let's talk about how much I LOVE this dress from The Impeccable Pig. First of all, it's beyond comfortable. Second, the fabric is flowy, fun, and the print is just to die for! I've received so many compliments on just wearing the dress by itself! I think this Fall I'll pair it with something like this vest.

Lastly, I've just been air drying my hair lately, then throwing some loose waves in it with my AMAZINGLY awesome Jose Eber Curling Wand. Seriously makes my morning hair routine super easygoing.

I sincerely hope that you're having a fabulous week so far. Hooray for Labor day weekend coming up!

Dear Blog Readers,

I think it's about time we had a serious convo about, yes, you guessed it… shoes. You see, around two or three years ago, I was a new-ish fashion follower. I wasn't fashionably challenged, I had some cute shoes, don't get me wrong... but they were just the basics. As a Southern California girl, I wore sandals, and sandals, and more… sandals! I literally felt overwhelmed [and severely underprepared] as far as my shoe closet was concerned. So, I've got a few helpful tips, with pictures! to help ease your pain, and get you feeling fashionably fearless for all seasons!

1. Start off simple by purchasing a nude flat, but make sure it's got a feminine detail to it (aka, bows, flowers, or frills) just to give it personality, and not feel so plain.

2. Keep going: After the nude flat you're ready to graduate to a 2 inch heel! Super comfortable and easy on your feet, but still fashionably forward enough [especially in a vibrant color like red, pink, or yellow!]

3. Comfort: Styling shoe with a chunky heel or wedge with platforms are definitely easy to walk in, and much more comfortable as well. Make sure you own a nude and black pair of wedges for long nights out! They'll go with everything.

4. Styling boots: Boots can be tricky. The safest place to start is with some cognac brown or black riding boots. These are easily styled with denim or leggings in the fall and winter, or even in early summer with a dress. The next step is booties, and it took me a good while to warm up to them. I don't wear them often, but with the right dress they look fabulous! Lastly, is the combat boot. Any girly girl would naturally hesitate when thinking about styling combat boots. I sure did. As a woman who styles mostly dresses I could not think of how or when I would wear these hideous lacy things, but honestly, I styled them SO much especially in Fall and Winter. [My favorite way to wear them was with dark wash denim and a flannel top…lumberjack chic!]

5. Shoes with personality: Some shoes are just completely random and you'll feel like there isn't a way in the world to style them. Don't worry, it's not as bad as it seems, because all you have to do is think outside of the box! Shoes with studs or edgy embellishments look great with grungy jeans and a tee or they are also fabulous paired with a flirty dress. Same goes for heels in bold colors. I used to get super discouraged if my shoes didn't match the colors I was wearing in my outfit, but that is NOT what fashion is about anymore! It's about breaking all the rules and making it your own.

p.s. make sure to come link-up on Thursday! Jacqueline and I are styling leopard/animal print this week!
