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!

Blush Pink Spring Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

On Wednesdays we wear pink and I am so ready for spring and all the pastels! I’ve been living for this faux wrap dress from LC Lauren Conrad and I want it in every color! This dress is perfect for all body types with its fit and flare skirt and bubble sleeves it’s super flattering and fun for all seasons! It comes in several colors and is available at Kohl’s. This dress definitely runs true to size, if you’re curvier I recommend sizing up one, but I found my regular size large fit perfect!

I paired it with this Chanel dupe and LC Lauren Conrad block heels. This is a great look for Valentine’s, Easter, bridal showers, brunch, it’s a great dress to have in your closet! It can definitely be worn with some ballet flats and jean jacket or dressed up like this!

Pastels are classic for spring and you will be seeing a lot more pastels on the blog this season!

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!
