All My Favorite Fall Fashion

Happy Wednesday friends!

I wanted to share some of my favorite fall fashion with you from over the years! It’s no secret we don’t really have fall here in Florida but we still like to break out the boots and the jackets!

I’m a lover of jeans, sweaters, midi dresses and layering pieces in the fall time going into winter. Layers especially because if it gets to hot you can shed some layers as the day goes on.

My favorite brands for fall would have to be mainly LC Lauren Conrad and Old Navy. Let’s not forget fall accessories; scarves, hats, and gold accessories! Anyone else?

Check out some of my favorite looks for fall below!

Taking My Summer Uniform Into Fall

Happy Wednesday friends and happy September!

It’s so crazy to think we are already into September and getting ready for fall!

It’s still super hot here in Florida so I wanted to share one of my favorite summer uniforms and how I’m taking some of those pieces into fall as well.

Y’all know I love dresses and rompers for summer but I’ve also been loving a form fitting simple top with high waisted shorts. If you’ve been following along I’ve actually shared a few looks like this and they have become one of my go to looks. I usually change up the bag and the shoes depending on where I’m going.

How I’ve paired the outfit here with wedges and cute little bag makes it a great outfit for brunch or shopping, it’s a little more girly and cute. I also love the same pieces with sporty white sneakers and a cross body bag if I’m running errands or know I’ll be walking around. With that being said I’ll be taking several of these pieces into fall with me. The top, shoes, and bag would all be cute with a pair of jeans and a cute jacket or sweater for fall. I’m working on building up my wardrobe basics so that outfit pairing is easier and little more classic.

The shorts, wedges and bag are all from LC Lauren Conrad and let me tell you the shorts I’ve bought in the other colors as well and love them for all sizes. I sized up for a looser fit and love how practical they are. The top is from Loft and again I’ve been buying some great basic tops from Loft, Macy’s and LC Lauren Conrad and they have really worked in my wardrobe for meeting clients, running errands, and everything in between. I just love that they are a little more elevated than just a simple t-shirt.

What are you taking from your summer wardrobe into fall?

My Summer Essentials

It’s officially summer, so what better way to kick off my favorite season than to share my summer essentials!

I have so many favorites but to name a few: I absolutely love the Tula sunscreen I use it everyday and love that it is a gel like consistency which looks great with or without makeup! Next up Old Navy sandals the ones pictured are my favorites, I have them in every color and they are a staple for me! The next things hats and dresses from LC Lauren Conrad. Now it’s no secret that LC Lauren Conrad pieces are my absolute favorites but in the summer time I wear tons of dresses and love them paired with a hat and hers are my favorites! Fourth thing has to be Tarte Cosmetics the brand makes up a lot of my makeup bag and their blush and mascara are a must not matter if I’m doing a full face or just a 5 minute face. Finally a swimsuit from Artesands, their pieces are curve friendly and the most support cute suits ever! They are an investment but worth it!

I have some travel scheduled and you better believe all these things are coming with me! What are some of your summer essentials? Let me know!

Everyday Look & Home Décor

Happy Wednesday friends!

This week I wanted to share an easy everyday look with you, whether you are working from home or running errands around town this is an easy look from LC Lauren Conrad that I’m loving!

It’s no secret I love LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and these pieces are no exception. I love a good pair of jeans and a t-shirt and her line kills it every time! The denim is my favorite and runs true to size with so many different washes and styles perfect for every shape and size! I appreciate that the t-shirts are a little longer so you can style those several ways to, whether you prefer a front tuck, un-tucked, or knotted on the side the length of these T’s are perfect. This has been my work from home uniform if I feel like changing it up from sweats and know I’m going somewhere this is it!

I’m also working on styling our new bar cart from Ashley Home Store and I decorated it a little bit for Valentine’s day but now I’m back to looking for normal decor for it and how I can style it better! Let me know if you have any suggestions for decorating a bar cart and what is a must for you!

Perfect Green Jumpsuit

Happy Monday Everyone!

The blog schedule we be all over the place until the end of the year with the holidays fast approaching there are still several posts that I want to get up for y’all! That being said can we talk about this beautiful green jumpsuit from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. Florida temps are dropping but not to much and this is the perfect jumpsuit for the cooler days, especially paired with a denim jacket. I paired this with the black straw bag, y’all were obsessed with the spring/summer version of this bag that came in tan and other summer colors. I love the neutral shade to go with the snakeskin printed mules I think both shoes and bag complement the green jumper really well!

The jumpsuit it structured great with buttons and zipper at the front with the belted waist and puff sleeves give it something extra and makes it a more put together piece. Such a great piece to have in your closet, I could personally wear this to work, lunch, shopping out and about. I would recommend sizing up if you’re interested in the jumpsuit especially if you are curvier!

Wedding Wednesday with Shapermint

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Of course with everything glamorous that comes with wedding planning comes the not some glamorous topic of shape-wear. I’ve teamed up with Shapermint to talk about shape-wear for your wedding and just in general!

First off I LOVE what the brand stand for empowering women and giving them confidence no matter what shape and size, shape-wear just helps emphasis what you have and empowers you! Especially for your big day depending on your dress style, shape-wear is recommended to really give you the best shape and Shapermint has a huge range of pieces from different brands based on what you’re looking for!

I typically don’t wear form fitting dresses and two pieces from Shapermint really gave me the confidence to strut my stuff in the red number. I’m wearing the Miraclesuit Shape with an Edge hi-waist brief in nude as well as the Bali Comfort Revolution Comfort Flex Fit Shaping Wire-free Bra and these really did the trick with this dress and are the perfect combo for something tighter fit.

I’ve also been loving the Bali Lace N’Smooth Firm Control Full Body Shaper for under dresses or even could be worn with jeans and low cut top. Shapermint also send over the Empetua Faux Leather Shaping Leggings and these are perfect with a long sweater tunic or top with booties or a t-shirt and sneakers they are a staple piece to have in your closet! I highly recommend checking out Shapermint online HERE!

Wedding Update-86 Days Away

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

This week I wanted to share a wedding update with you and share the most recent things we’ve done and what we have lined up as we are in the home stretch, less than 3 months away, where did time go?!

2 weeks ago we went home to the venue for our tasting and to get a preview of our tables for the reception! It was better than I could’ve imagined the table was perfection! Out theme is very romantic and classic with blush, rose, and ivory tones with touched of rose gold and it was beautiful!

But let’s be honest one of the most important parts of a wedding is the food! What do you remember most about weddings you attend? The dress, the drinks, and the food hands down! So the food and drinks are super important to us, huge foodies here and I especially want people to remember that we had awesome food at our wedding! The tasting did not disappoint we tried several things that would be severed that day as we are doing stations and have tons of options so we tried something from each station basically, all AMAZING! Truly so good I can’t wait for everyone to eat up that day and enjoy themselves!

As for things we have coming up….I have my first dress fitting at the end of the month along with booking out hotel and making ceremony and music decisions are at the top of my list! We have our rings, attire, vendors, almost everything. We are just down to the small stuff now it’s all happening so fast!

I’ll keep you posted as we continue the process! Have a great rest of your week!

End of Summer & Wedding Update

As summer “technically” is coming to a close and it is still very much pool season here in Florida so of course you can find me sporting another ArteSands suit by the pool soaking up some rays of sunshine. They recently sent over this sassy one piece in the cutest animal print with a fun cut out! Y’all know I love this brand and everything it stands for! I love that they are size inclusive and have the cutest prints and styles! I paired this fun suit with a super cute cover up from Amazon and sunnies from Old Navy. I absolutely love the cut and fit of this suit and how it accentuates all the right things! I highly recommend checking them out!

Real Talk: Confidence & Fashion

Happy Wednesday Y’all!

Today I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite pieces from the LC Lauren Conrad summer collection with you and wanted to also have a little chat about confidence and how clothes can affect that.

First off it ‘s not new news that we all have a size we prefer to be and see on our clothing tag, however that number doesn’t define us nor should it make us feel less than. I’ve struggled my whole life with my body image not until a few years ago did I truly learn to except to love my body in every state. I’ve learned that every brand and article of clothing run differently size wise so whether I need to size up or down or am my regular size the number on the tag does not define me whatsoever.

Therefore I love that LC Lauren Conrad is size inclusive with regular, plus, and petite sizing! How awesome is that!? I love that the fabrics and style and cuts can be worn by any shape and size and the clothes just make you feel good about yourself.

I’m obsessed with this sunny dress with lush fabric and bright print. It fits great and puts me in such a great mood paired with these adorable wedges also from the summer collection with some layered necklaces and earrings! This is by far one of my favorite dresses I own and will be wearing all summer long!

Y’all know you can shop LC Lauren Conrad online and at Kohl’s and make sure to check out their Instagram for style inspo @lclaurenconrad :)

Annual Daytona Beach Trip

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Y’all know that for the past few years now Travis and I have taken a little weekend vacay once a year to Daytona Beach and it’s a great time for us to reset and enjoy the start of summer! I love to share travel blogs with y’all the most probably because traveling and doing something different than everyday life is fun and a great escape!

We got to The Hyatt Place on Friday and immediately went to the pool to relax and enjoy golden hour before grabbing pizza at my favorite pizza place in Daytona, Rossellini’s! We get a basic cheese and peperonni pizza with ranch and y’all it’s one of the best places I’ve ever been for pizza!

Saturday we hit the beach and pool pretty much all day after grabbing our complimentary breakfast at the hotel. I’m loving all the gingham this summer and this suit from Old Navy is not exception. I paired it with some retro sunnies, also from Old Navy and some earrings from Bauble Bar, topped it off with a red lip and you could say I was probably the most over done person at the pool, LOL!

Moving on to Saturday evening we decided to check out a new restaurant as we tend to go to the same places while we are here. We decided to give Cocina 214-Daytona Beach a try! Y’all this is probably some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Their queso blanco with chorizo and chip is out of this world! Seriously what dreams are made of! Travis got tacos with rice and beans and I got the enchiladas and we were not disappointed! Everything was amazing! The restaurant itself is stunning inside and looks out to the water so I decided to wear this little tropical print number to dinner. Again the dress is from Old Navy paired with my go to summer LC Lauren Conrad straw bag with flip-flops and it was the perfect casual dinner outfit! We finished the evening taking a stroll on the beach and just enjoying the water and each-others company, sappy I know.

On our last day we soaked up as much beach and pool as we could before heading home. I brought this fun pink suit from Aerie to snap some shots of and absolutely adore the color and style! Paired with some simple gold earrings, white sunnies, and pink lip I loved this look!

That’s about it for this years trip! We had a great time and just love our time by the water and hope to move closer to it again someday soon!

Fall Inspiration with Forever 21+

Happy Wednesday babes!

As promised I shot some fall looks for y’all even though it is still summer here in FL. I picked out some pieces that are super easy to wear and all interchangeable, plus very affordable for the most part!

The first fall look I have for you is this super comfy and easy to wear suede dress from Forever 21 Plus, this is cute with this basic white t-shirt underneath from Old Navy and and booties and bag from Kohl’s. This look is very fall and still possible here in the sunshine state without getting to hot! However, if you live somewhere where it’s already getting cooler out this look would be super cute paired with tights and close-toed booties! This whole look is under $75 is perfect to transition into the fall season!

What are your favorite fall pieces? Must haves? Let me know in the comments below!
