You can probably tell by my pasty white skin (thank goodness for Tan Towels!) that the sun and I have never been friends. I’ve never been tan, only red, after spending time in the sun. As I have gotten older, sun protection has become more and more important to me. My face moisturizer has sunscreen in it. If I know I am going to be outside for any length of time, I lather up. You can imagine my excitement when…
After renting a car in San Francisco, Russ and I began our travel down the Pacific Coast Highway. I cannot recommend driving down the coast enough. It’s gorgeous! I also recommend driving south verses north so you are on the same side of the road as the coast. Better views! Today I’m sharing my Carmel travel diary. It was easily our favorite stop, and I’d love to go back with more time. The whole town is charming with beautiful flowers…
I’m so excited to be starting up our summer Blogger Nation series! If you are new around here, each season I have the pleasure of teaming up with five other awesome bloggers each Monday to share one great brand with you. Today I am summer ready with Tommy Bahama. Tommy Bahama really has the perfect summer pieces. Great prints and great quality. I selected this gathered waist dress in navy thinking it would work well with a bump. I’ll be…
I am so excited to be sharing two summer dresses with French Connection in this post and the next. This is a brand I have long admired for the beauty and quality of the products, which makes it extra fun to have the opportunity to collaborate. As you know, dresses are always my go-to which is especially true in the summer. Today I am styling the posy lace maxi dress which I wore for a fun dinner date with Russ. Friday it will…
Happy 4th of July everyone! I always love this day as a reminder of the great honor and privilege it is to be born in the United States and have such freedom. I know what you are thinking: another dress? Another off the shoulder piece? Sorry, I cannot help it when things are as good as this blue and white striped off the shoulder dress! Pieces like this are quintessentially summer for me. I love the ease, versatility, and cool…
I’ve got a little fringe in my step thanks to these adorable block heeled fringe sandals from Restricted Shoes (also available in tan). This was a new company for me, but I have really fallen in love with this shoe. The block heel and shorter height make them really comfy, and the fringe makes them really fun. I can easily wear them all day to work which is a win in my book. Restricted Shoes also has a good dupe for…
I love the sneaker trend. I mean, what woman doesn’t want comfy shoes to be all the rage? Even as a fashion obsessed person, I have wondered how to wear the sneaker trend. Somehow it seems like a cool girl look I cannot quite achieve, so I did some research (aka Pinterest searching). Thankfully KicksUSA gave me the opportunity to test my theories with these awesome floral Nike sneakers. I mean, how cool are they?! I’d been wanting a pair…
I loved the colors in this pastel striped dress. I also loved that it gave me an opportunity to wear my pink hat. I love hats for many reasons, but this time it was because it covered up my roots. Ha! Thankfully I just had my appointment. Hats, fun shoes, sunglasses, and a good bag are always my go-to items when I want to keep things interesting. This dress was fun on its own but better with good accessories. My…
Trending now: embroidery and lace up shoes. I have some serious obsessions going with both of these lately. First it was my red and white embroidered midi dress (seen here). Then it was yesterday’s post. Today it is this embroidered dress which makes me so happy. I loved it when I saw it on a couple other bloggers, but by the time I went to order it was sold out. I was thrilled to find it on Oasap for under $30!…
Hope you all had a great weekend! Russ had an annual guys weekend, so I used the excuse to get together with my girls too! I wore this fun cold shoulder white mini dress to grab lunch before we crashed their grill out later that day. I also happened to have my monthly girls dinner on Sunday night. It was fun to get so much quality time with my people in. This dress just says summer to me. Warning, the…
