Summer Shoes For The Busy Mom

*Thanks to Zee Alexis for sponsoring this post.

Hi friends. Let me start with this. My love for these Zee Alexis shoes is SO real. It's realer than anything that's ever been real. Second, I am now officially the mom of a walking toddler. If you follow me on Snapchat (LivinginColorL) you caught a glimpse of my sweet babe showing off her new skill. I cry about this for two reasons. My baby is growing up, and I will never, ever sit down again!

Enter, these soft, moldable, woven shoes from Zee Alexis. They're moldable, breathable (hello 120 degrees...) and super duper stylish.

Hi beautiful ladies! We're back this week for #SpotlightWeekly styling pastel looks! I had to bring out the minty floral dress that I've had forever - it's such a Spring staple. This one is from Pink Blush, but I've also linked to tons of pastel and floral frocks above! I know I'm styling lots of floral print lately, but I'm so into it, I can't help myself!

Spotlight Fashion Link-Up | Floral

Wearing: Free People dress | Similar hat | Alex & Ani bracelets | Far More Than Rubies mama metal necklace c/o | Ruby Claire Boutique 'Lolo' wedge c/o | Finley Lane 'Carmelita' tan pom pom clutch c/o

Hi beautiful friends! We're back this week for #SpotlightWeekly Fashion Link-Up styling florals! I went with a less traditional Spring floral in styling this Free People shift dress. I love the unique sleeves and the bright neon print against the black background. I feel like I'm wearing a soft, cozy blanket that hugs my body in all the right places haha.

I feel like this pom pom straw clutch was made for this outfit too. It ties in my Panama hat nicely to the outfit, wouldn't you agree!? This super cute clutch from Finley Lane is only $28, and is super roomy for a clutch! I was able to fit my keys, wallet and phone in it easily!

Lastly I want to discuss how amazing these fringe shoes are. These are actually wedge sandals from Ruby Claire Boutique. I know you can't tell in the photo but they have about a 1 inch heel, so they are easy to walk in, but elongate your leg in a dress or with shorts! They're perfect for Summer since fringe is still all the rage. There are only a few sizes left, so snag them while you can!

Spotlight Weekly Link-Up | Week 101: Sneakers

Wearing: LOFT romper (love this $23 one!) | Converse All Star Low via Rack Room Shoes c/o | Tory Burch bag | Similar Sunglasses (only $5) | JORD Wood Watches 'Cora Turquoise' watch c/o | InPink 'Geo Jeweled' necklace c/o

Hey ladies! Thanks for visiting the blog today! I'm so excited to see how you style sneakers! I went with a supers simple chambray romper to pair with my Converse All Star Low sneakers! I bought this romper last season, but I swear it was worth the investment because I've worth it tons this summer and we all know chambray is always in style in the spring/summer so it's not considered a 'trendy' piece in my book! I love the bow around the waist and how it's longer in the back, because most rompers are not flattering on my long torso! Like I said, this piece is actually fro last year, but I've linked to tons of similar rompers above ;)

I paired this outfit with minimal jewelry and only wore my JORD Wood Watches 'Cora Turquoise' watch on my wrist because I like how the turquoise and chambray compliment each other! 

Also, this is random, but I wanted to touch on something I came across recently... I discovered a site called "Get Off My Internets" and let me tell you, I have never seen people talk so horribly about others! But aside from that cruelty, the readers of blogs post pictures that bloggers (super big bloggers) have photoshopped of themselves in to make their images appear skinnier. I'm talking girls that probably weigh 110 pounds cutting off half their forearm to make it appear thinner when their arms are just perfect to begin with! I'm so saddened that this happens and so disappointed that bloggers that many people look up to do this. I guess what I'm saying is that although I may not be super 100% comfortable with my own body image, and I do edit the lighting in these photos, I never want to be so insecure and unhappy with myself that I have to photoshop my arms off or create a thigh gap, that's just not reality! People like real things, am I right? I know that as a blog reader, I like real things and real images! Okay, end rant, but seriously I couldn't believe some of those photos! Anyway, I hope you enjoy styling your fab sneakers and I can't wait to check out some of the posts!

Voodoo Vixen

Wearing: Voodoo Vixen Felicity' dress c/o | Tory Burch bag | similar shoes | InPink Sherwood Arrow necklace c/o | Similar Sunglasses (only $5) | InPink Pave Link bracelet c/o 

Hi loves! Happy hump day. I'm sharing a summery printed dress that would be perfect for a Hawaiian vacay! Man, do I wish I was going to Hawaii sometime soon! It will be a while for me, but that's okay :) I'm perfectly content right now sporting this dress for lunch at my favorite local Mexican restaurant instead.

One of the things I love about this dress from Voodoo Vixen is the cut. Anything that's a-line is perfection in my book... it instantly makes the outfit feel more girly. The dress is definitely longer since the line is vintage-inspired, but that's okay for this short-legged girl because I paired the dress with the perfect ankle strapped sandals to help elongate and separate the leg/foot area. I hope this is all making sense, but basically, ankle straps = good with long dresses ;)

Hope you have a great rest of the week! Don't forget to link-up your chambray tomorrow! It's our 100th link-up! Can you believe we've had that many?!

Spotlight Weekly Link-Up | Week 98: Favorite Shorts

Wearing: Byer CA top c/o | Target shorts (amazing price!) | Sam Edelman booties (via the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!) | Tory Burch tote (comes in two sizes) | InPink Pave Link bracelet c/o | InPink disco cuff c/o | InPink Gold Balance Bar necklace c/o | InPink Stone Bar Stirrup bracelet c/o

Hi loves! Today I'm sharing another look featuring some amazing distressed denim shorts from Target! I shared these in a lighter wash last week. I am in love with both the price and the fit. I'm still working on getting my pre-baby body back, so these are a great in-between until I want to invest in some Rag & Bone shorts (which are a little more pricey!) Maybe next Fall ;) 

Anyway, I paired the shorts with a new top from Byer CA! It's called the Mission Viejo studded top, and since I used to live in Mission Viejo, it seemed like a perfect addition to my wardrobe. Not only do I adore the studded detailing on front, but I love the open back!

Lastly, I actually have invested in two Tory Burch 'York' totes. One is a light beige color (I believe it's called Light Oak on the site) and this black one. I purchased the large version, and I have to say that I am totally smitten. These double as a great school bag, diaper bag, airplane tote, or just a normal, every-day bag for those of you who shove everything you own into your purse like me! If you haven't pulled the trigger on one of these lovelies yet, I strongly recommend that you do! It comes in 8 colors!

Mellow Yellow

Wearing: Zara dress (similar) | Sam Edelman booties (via the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!) | Prada bag c/o Trendlee | Kendra Scott necklace via Rocksbox c/o (get your first month free with code livingincolorxoxo) | Helen's Jewels 'twisted orb cuff' c/o

Hi loves! I'm super excited to share this flowy dress with you... it's one of my favorite outfits lately - I'm really trying to step out of my comfort zone and take some fashion risks. I used to try all kinds of trendy things (cue lace socks with mary jane sandals in like 2012) but I've been in a total rut. Yellow is one of my favorite colors. Fun fact: I used to drive a yellow car! But I don't think I own any clothes that are yellow so when I came across this boho-chic dress at Zara, I knew it had to be coupled with some Sam Edelman fringe boots and a super fabulous Prada bag from Trendlee!
