Currently Crushing

Happy Friday, friends!

Just wanted to pop on really quickly to share some items that I am currently crushing on. I have been online browsing shopping and these pieces all need to make their way into my closet. Asap!

I am headed out to celebrate one of my BFF's birthdays and headed to a concert. The usual! Haha. Hope you all have an incredible weekend!

Lush Lace Inset Kimono

 Kimonos are the easiest thing to throw on and I love the detailing in this one! You can wear it with any color shirt and it will look good! I would size down on this piece as a lot of fabric can overwhelm your body and make it look larger than you are! I bought this in the small/medium! 

Michael Kors 'Blake' bracelet watch

  I have been dying to buy a new watch. I am loving emerald and the face of this watch is gorgeous! Plus emerald is my birth stone so I feel like I have a special bond to it. Haha. I love the simplicity and the crystals in place of numbers.

Old Navy Coated Skinnies

 Coated denim is all the rage, this season. I don't like to spend a ton of money on really trendy pieces. I have been a fan of Old Navy denim for a long time. These fit great, I did NOT size up like the reviews say online. I tried on my normal Old Navy size and they fit perfectly.

Old Navy Chiffon Printed Blouse

 Who doesn't love neutrals and animal print? I know I am a sucker! This blouse is so perfect for Fall and very versatile. I can picture so many outfits in my head wearing this pretty blouse!

Rubbish Woven Henley

 Another basic to add to your closet. I am always looking for the perfect blouse to throw on. This is woven and not a tee, which I LOVE. Throw on a scarf and you will look super polished and cute!

Steve Madden 'Xplicit'

 Perfect. Black. Wedges.

Need I say more? Ok, I will. This is a very similar style to the nude wedges I have worn over and over and over again. You can dress these up or down. They look good with dresses, shorts, jeans, anything. I think everyone needs to own these!

Happy Shopping!

What I Wore: Snakey

Well, well, well.

 This look was quite popular with y'all on Instagram.

Which made me SO happy because I am kind of obsessed with it. It is seriously so cute but comfy. I love that!

I think that kimonos can be harder to wear. You have to be careful of the length, where it hits on your body and that it is not too oversized. I am wearing a small/medium and I have never worn that size. I am a HUGE lover of animal print, especially in neutral colors. This piece was a no brainer. I think I have at least 6 pairs of cut offs at this point. I wear them almost daily. I wore  flip flops with the look to run errands and threw on the wedges for dinner. Super versatile!

#truestory

This dress is my latest buy from Kiki La'Rue and to say that I am obsessed would be an understatement. I LOVE the color combo. Blush and Taupe are faves of mine and they just so happen to be great colors on me. I paired the dress with my denim vest to give the look a little something extra. To play up the blush color I wore my rose gold bangles, hoops and watch AND wore my most favorite sandal in Rose Gold Glitter. While the dress is super comfy I think the look made me look chic and pulled together.

What do you think of this look?

Happy Monday, my friends!

Today I am starting a month long gig back at Nordstrom. WHAT???? I swore I wouldn't go back. Never say never! Haha. I was asked to help out for the Anniversary sale and it was too good of a gig to pass up. I am going to DIE waking up at 6am for the next few weeks. I have definitely gotten used to my princess, work from home, schedule. Wish me luck! 

I wanted to remind you all to enter my giveaway for $50 to Kiki La'Rue! 
I don't want you to miss out!!!

This was the perfect outfit for running around the beach, following my nephew and niece around. I love camo print ESPECIALLY when it has a pretty gold star on it! My cut offs are just a go to. I did a little print mixing with my leopard print sandals. The look was cute and easy.

Happy Friday!

This week FLEW by. But then again time flies when you are having fun! I have a couple of fun things planned for the holiday weekend, including my best friend's birthday! I am excited to eat, drink, lay in the sun and dance. All of those things make me happy, happy, happy!!

This outfit was from a few weeks ago when we had a couple random chillier days. I am in love with this sweater and it is on major sale. It is lightweight, the perfect length and comes in prints and solids. Mint and taupe is a great color combo. Paired it with dark denim and my booties. I LOVE how the mint makes my eyes pop!

Jeans: Old Navy Rockstar

Booties: Mossimo 'Kaelyn'

What I Wore: Camo and Neutrals

I cannot focus on all that I have going on this week because I will be at Stagecoach in TWO days! I am so excited I can barely stand it! I have planned my outfits and have been working out like crazy! I cannot wait to just be by the pool! And listen to music. Obvi!

Since I have been running around like a crazy person I am sticking to the staples. It has still been warm during the day but it definitely cools down at night. I haphazardly threw this jacket on while running out the door. It was a subtle way to mix prints and the wedges still kept the look more girly, and showed off my legs! Hehe. I love the mix of the neutral stripes and the camo. Nothing Earth shattering with this look but it is very "me".

What I Wore: Pop Color and Snake

Happy Monday err, I mean, Tuesday!
I want to make sure and send my prayers and condolences to the City of Boston and the victims of yesterday's tragedy. It broke my heart to know that our country has another tragedy to overcome and to know that so many people are hurting!

I have NOT been in a blogging mood at all. No real reason why. I think my focus has been on work and my fitness. It is consuming me! Hopefully I will get some mojo back! I have been pinning for some inspiration and I have some cute outfits planned. Thanks for sticking with me through yet, another, dry spell!

I wore this outfit for date night. It is pretty simple. Silk blouse, skinny jeans and snake-print stilettos. I accented with gold accessories. I love the orange with the neutral print. I like how the look pulled together. Plus I felt sexy!

Win win, in my book.

Pop Color and Snake

Necklace: Lisa Leonard 'Chevron' 

What I Wore: Kind of Girly

Happy Tuesday!

I am still trying to recover from a very busy weekend. 

I swear that everything always happens all at once, at least in my life!

 I have a pretty busy week ahead of me, too!

This look is more on the girly side for me. I am not one who gravitates to ruffles, at all. I am also not huge on florals or lots of lace. I favor more simple looks and fabrication, straight lines and shaping that contours. I normally wouldn't buy a top like this because it adds bulk to my mid section. But paired with skinny jeans and sandals keeps the rest of the look simple and shows off my shape. What do you think???

Kind Of Girly

What I Wore:

Top: H&M, very old (Similar)

Jeans: Old Navy 'Rockstar'

Sandals: DV by Dolce Vita "Ilana"

Necklace: Stella & Dot 'On the Mark' 

What I Wore: Feminine Details

I love my BF jeans. I do. I may not love them as much as my skinnies but I do love the comfy-ness and ease when wearing them. I do have a harder time wearing more masculine pieces at times. So I ALWAYS wear heels or wedges when I wear them. Haha.

I think that this outfit is the perfect example of how you can take basic, kind of sloppy pieces and make them look somewhat chic. I am pretty obsessed with this watercolor, floral scarf by FRAAS! I tied the ends together to create a drapey look. I wanted the scarf to be the focal point and to be the piece to dress up the jeans. I went with a neutral pair of shoes with a chunky heel to keep the look somewhat funky. I wore my favorite earrings in turquoise to match the scarf. SInce my hair was up they totally make a statement. The filagree bracelets are flirt and girly to tie the whole look together. I really love this look. A lot.
