Spring Season

Happy Almost First Day of Spring!

This week I’m breaking out the spring and Easter decor for the apartment as well as doing some spring cleaning! My last visit home my mom and I stopped into one of my favorite HomeGoods locations and found some super cute pieces for Easter season! I’ll definitely be sharing these with you on Instagram! Can’t recommend HomeGoods and TJ Maxx enough for spring decor and items for a Spring refresh on your home!

My Spring refresh will definitely consist of a closet clean out along with a whole apartment clean out and organizing frenzy! It’s so good to clean out everything and start fresh, especially with all the things we accumulated during our wedding and after this will help us start a new!

Do you spring clean your home every year? If so what all do you do?!

Being a Florida girl I love my sandals not just for Spring and Summer but year round! I’ve been obsessed with these Gold Kirra Perf Sandals from Vionic since I received them!

Also with sandals I love a few other keys accessories for spring; I love headbands, statement earrings, and bags! Especially for spring I’m living for the clear bag trend still along with a good white bag, making any look more spring! Headbands have been all the rage for the last several months and spring is no exception, Amazon has tons of great affordable ones! Y’all know I love my statement earrings and Kate Spade have some of my favorites for this time of year!

Go Bananas! -LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

As spring is approaching I’m pulling out all the dresses! I absolutely love a t-shirt dress and this one from LC Lauren Conrad is super fun with the banana print! I actually picked this up this winter at Kohl’s on clearance! You can still find it online for $10 it’s a steal! Something here in Florida I can wear all year long especially spring and summer! We all love pieces that can be worn all throughout the year and honestly here in the sunshine state I wear a lot of dresses!

I paired it with some LC Lauren Conrad rose gold sandals and my favorite amazon clear bag from last year! This is perfect for brunch or running errands! Also would be cute paired with a denim jacket and sneakers too for a more casual look! T-shirt dresses are great for all figures and I love that this one has the cute print and tie sleeves, the fabric is a dream too!

This year I’m focusing on being more intentional with my purchases and that goes for clothes too! Shopping my closet more and donating more if I want to purchase some new things! I’m definitely paying more attention to what I’m spending money on!

I’m so excited to share more spring fashion with y’all over the next few months!

What do you like to wear during spring time? Let me know below!

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!

Valentine's Plans- LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday babes!

With Valentine’s Day days away i wanted to share another fun look from LC Lauren Conrad with y’all in case you were looking for something to wear still!

I love that the dress and shoes can really be worn all through spring and summer. The flats are great for everyday and the dress is super light weight and great for the hotter months. The heart bag is really what makes this whole look perfect for Valentine’s Day! It also carries the perfect amount of stuff and is just a perfect touch!

Plans wise Travis and I have never been huge Valentine’s people. Just having each other has always been enough. We have cooked dinner in, gone out to eat, but we don’t do anything super grandiose. We will be going to the Melting Pot this year for dinner and just celebrating 2 weeks of marriage, just enjoying each other!

I also love a good Galentine’s Day event! Mer and I have fun plans including pizza and cheesy movies and all the candy! Girls no matter if you have a man in your life or not you can always celebrate with you girls!

What do you all like to do for Valentine’s Day? Let me know!

Pastel Valentine's Look

Happy Friday babes!

I’m finally getting back to y’all as wedding weekend has already come and gone in a flash and I have some fun Valentine’s Day looks for you! Everything is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and all these pieces are perfect for whatever V-Day plans you might have!

I love this super flirty look! Y’all know I love a graphic t-shirt and this one with the fun printed skirt and fuzzy sweater is so fun and playful! Great for Galentine’s or a shopping trip! The flats keep it simple and practical and paired with this fun heart handle bag is perfection! Definitely pieces that can all be worn in several ways which is key when buying things for my closet!

What is your favorite outfit for Valentine’s ?

2019 Year In Review!

Happy New Year’s Eve Friends!

Celebrating the end of the decade by sharing my some of my favorite moments and looks from 2019!

But first let’s think about all we have done in the last decade! Here’s a recap of my last 10 years! I graduated high school in 2010 (OMG) then moved to Fort Myers to attend school at FGCU. In 2011 I started working as a ballroom dance teacher and learned some hard lessons about the dance community and love. I also at met and started dating Travis! In In 2012 I moved to Orlando to continue my degree at UCF and to give my long distance relationship a shot in the same city! In 2013 I interned for Orlando Style Magazine and started a minor in Journalism and discovered another passion of writing! In 2014 I graduated college with my degree in Photography and a minor in Journalism. In 2015 Travis and I moved in together and I got my first job out of school at an art gallery. In 2016 I started Lifestyle with Laramie and building my blog as well as my photo business and met our favorites Chris and Mer through Instagram. In 2017 Travis and I got engaged and moved to Lake Nona. In 2018 Travis and I went on our first cruise together to watch our friends Chris and Mer get married, we traveled to the West Coast, me for the first time and finally started wedding planning!

All that has brought us to this year! 2019 was pretty good to us! We had all our wedding festivities as we get married February 2020. We had our bachelor and bachelorette parties, my bridal shower, shot tons of fun looks for the blog, went on our annual Daytona Beach trip, made beach trips, Disney days, starting dancing again, let go of the negative, made room for the positive and turned 28! I can’t tell you how excited I am for the new year! This new year has so many amazing things on the horizon already it’s going to be an amazing new beginning! Here’s a look back at some of my favorites from this year!

Cheers!

My Golden Birthday!-Turning 28 On The 28th!

Today is my Golden Birthday! 28 on the 28th!

I had the idea about 6 months ago that I really wanted to celebrate this huge milestone and special birthday! My man made my dream a reality and set up a gold shoot with my photographer Kate for me! Thanks babe! I’ve been reflecting over the past several months on my life and how I’ve evolved and grown and I’m so proud of who I am and have become!

I’ve learned several things over my 28 years and my biggest one is love yourself, it doesn’t matter what others think! No matter what size I’ve learned to love myself in that moment! Embrace who you are and enjoy where you are in life right now! Don’t wait to enjoy things!

I’ve learned it’s quality over quantity. I’m thankful for the relationships I’ve built, my family and I are the tightest bound unit along with my relationship with my fiance, he’s my biggest supporter next to my parents, and the amazing friends I have in my life, I’m blessed! I have people that would do anything for me and me them I don’t need tons of friends I need a few AMAZING friends and I have some of the BEST!

I’ve learned to take care of myself, I don’t need to go to every event, please everyone, it’s my life and I need to make myself happy, I can’t make everyone happy all the time. It’s helped me learn balance, I’m still working on it but it’s key.

Lastly one big thing I’ve learned it to let go of negativity, someone is negative you don’t need them around. Someone is rude to you, leave. You don’t need to subject yourself to something that makes you unhappy or uncomfortable. Life if to short to be be unhappy so I’m making choices in my life that are providing true happiness and positive moments!

28 is going to be so so good to me I can feel it! Big changes are coming and I can’t wait for it!

Icy Blue-LC Lauren Conrad 10 Year Anniversary Collection

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Another special holiday outfit for y’all from the LC Lauren Conrad 10 year anniversary collection! This icy blue combo is something different for me! Just like the previous outfit I don’t do a lot of sweaters paired with skirts but I’ve really been loving the combo! This beautiful ombre blue tulle skirt with the buffalo plaid sweater paired with the same glittery heels is great for Christmas and New Year’s! I absolutely love this shade of blue for winter!

The tulle is great for the holiday season and is something more fun and flirty for any social gathering! It’s a great length as well, super modest so don’t need to be worrying about your skirt all night! The sweater is great paired with anything and is again super soft and just so cozy! The heels go with everything, a staple for the holidays and all year long!

I hope you all have the best Christmas holiday with your loved ones! I have a special blog post coming this Saturday for my birthday! See you then!

xoxo

Wedding Wednesday: Starting Christmas Traditions

Happy Wedding Wednesday Friends!

This is our last Christmas engaged and after 8 years together have yet to ever send a Christmas card out! I was determined this year to take Christmas card photos and send out a card! I love how every family has their own special holiday traditions and I wanted photos and a card to be one of ours. I think that once a year it is so important to get together dress up and take photos! Maybe it’s the blogger and photographer in me but I love photos and capturing moments! I think it’s super important and to print them too!

Anyway this year we started out tradition and took our first Christmas photos over at Rollins College, seriously one of the most beautiful places in Orlando! We went for more of a classic theme with simple black, white, and silver! I absolutely love architecture and greenery and this place encompassed that perfectly! We are sending out our cards this week from Minted and I already printed some photos for the apartment from Nation’s Photo Lab! Y’all print your photos and cherish the memories!

Happy 2 weeks till Christmas from the soon to be McGibbon’s xoxo
