Hello and Happy Monday! 

I hope you had a great weekend! I had a pretty good one myself. I got out for a bit Saturday and hit the town for a night of fun and fashion, which I will be sharing more with you on Wednesday. 

It was a fun way to spend an evening and celebrate summer. 

It also had me excited for Charlotte Fashion Week, which is coming up in September! But I am getting ahead of myself! 

Today's post came together so perfectly! I just love when that happens! 

I found this dress at Walmart during an errand run with one of my besties. It was a mere $10, but paired with these metallic, silver, heels, and the crocodile printed bag, you would not guess it! 

I actually had been searching for a pair of silver heels for a little bit, and finally found a nice pair on Shein. I ordered them shortly before I found the dress. 

I had actually started to style the dress with sneakers and then with black heels. Both looked nice, but then the idea to style them with the silver heels popped in my head and I thought of nothing else! 

Everything came together perfectly! I was so pleased with the outcome of this look! 

Even the jacket fits perfectly! I realize it probably seems nuts to wear a denim jacket in July, and you're probably wondering what I was thinking. And to that I say, 'just mind your business!' xD 

Just kidding! 

I went ahead and styled it with (and without) a jacket just to give more ideas for date nights or girls nights out, or dinner with friends -whatever the case maybe. Once the sun goes down and its not so hot, the jacket would be perfect! It would also be great once we begin to transition into the fall season! 

Thank you all so much for reading! I wish you all a great week and I will see you on Wednesday!

Hello my friends! And happy Friday! 

I hope you all are well! I hope you are staying cool as well! 

I'm trying my best! I won't lie, getting pictures in this summer has been challenging! It has just been so miserably hot, and I sweat my ass off! It also drains me! So, I usually try to get at least two or three looks shot at a time, but lately, it has been more like one look! Once I'm done and get home, give myself some time to cool down, and then change, I feel drained! I have really had to either push myself or plan out my shooting days very specifically. 

This look is a step in the right direction to beating the heat. The strapless, bubble gum, pink top and light brown, paper bag shorts are a great color combo! 

I had been wanting a pair of paper bag shorts in this color. I have them in black, and those are very cute and dressy. But this light brown pair, feels a bit more casual. 

I feel like paper bag shorts -despite the name- are a very flattering fit. These are a size 4, it was all the site had, otherwise I probably would have sized up one more size just for my own personal preference. 

I would wear this out for brunch, errands, a movie, or a shopping trip!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a great weekend! I have an event this weekend and I will be sharing all about that next week! But you can tune into my Instagram stories or TikTok for more vids and pictures in the meantime! 

I hope you have a great weekend ahead! And I will see you on Monday! =D

Hello and Happy Wednesday! 

I am back with another Out and About post for you, this time I headed with my blogging besties, to a Barbie Brunch! 

I'll be honest with you guys, I do not really get the hype around the Barbie movie (although I have heard a lot of really good things about it and now, I am kind of curious about it). Nothing against Barbie, I know I loved them when I was a kid! I just cannot fathom what the movie will be about. BUT I will give it a chance because I have a feeling I am going to be pleasantly surprised based on what I have heard. 

And just because I do not necessarily understand the hype, doesn't I am not down to get dressed up with my friends and join in the fun! 

I met up with my besties, Vikee -@designerdiva1103 and Ariel -@aly_adore on Sunday at Forty8 Hundred restaurant and bar. It was hard to miss! Decked out with pink balloons, a large pink welcome sign, and a pink carpet!  It was my first time at the restaurant, but it was a great experience! 

The staff were a lot of fun! Very sweet, accommodating, and dancing their hearts out with the rest of us! 

Stepping into the restaurant really made you feel as though you were transported into Barbie's dream world! Pink decorations, pink tablecloths, pink lights, and the most bedazzled bathroom I have ever seen! 

Of course, all the guests were dressed in head to toe pink! 

Everyone looked so fantastic! It was great to see everyone's interpretation of Barbie! The DJ played lots of songs that rallied women together! At one point, my girl Ariel was one of several ladies, crushing the Cupid Shuffle! 

Outside, there was a glittery backdrop and more balloons for everyone to take pictures in front of! 

Back inside, there were so many delicious Barbie themed brunch and drink options to choose from. Vikee chose the pink waffles and a Messy Barbie drink, while I got the jerk salmon with spicy habanera curry sauce and a Mermaid Barbie mocktail. Vikee is one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of being friends with! She right away asked the waitress if she could make it without alcohol for me and when I asked her to taste it for me first, just to be on the extra safe side, she happily obliged! 

And I'm so glad she did, because it was a really delicious drink! And a perfect Barbie brunch drink!  :D

Once the empowering and entertaining brunch came to an end -well, for me anyway- I had to head over to work. But that enthusiastic spirit stuck with me all day! Which makes me think, maybe I really will give this movie a chance. What is better than women supporting women and having a great time together? 

If you have seen it, let me know what you thought about it! 

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed! 

​See you Friday! 

Happy Monday! 

Today I am back with another dreamy dress, that I am very much loving! 

Everything about this dress is fantastic! From the bright blue color, the floral print, and the crossover halter design. It exudes summer vibes. A great date dress if ever there were one! 

​The way it flows in the breeze is so dreamy!

The fit is flattering! And while it is feminine and flirty, I also feel strong wearing it. Maybe it is the crossover neckline? 

Hell, maybe its the heels? 

But it is definitely one of my favorites! 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoy it! 

I cannot wait to share with you about the brunch I went to this weekend! It was so fun! I got to catch up with some of my besties and eat some delicious food -all while dressed up in pink for the Barbie movie! 

I'll tell you all about it next time! Stay tuned.... ;)

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I hope you all are well and staying as cool as possible!

When I shot the pictures for this look, I was NOT cool! Despite that these pants are very light-weight material and despite the crop top, it was still extremely hot! I was sweating buckets! 

I expect when I go out to shoot later today, it will be about the same thing. 

Today's look has a very 70's vibe to it! It was not intentional but it worked out well all the same! 

Last Sunday, one of my besties and I had to run an errand which took us to Walmart. From there we got completely distracted in the clothing section, which is where we came across these pants! We both liked them! I was immediately drawn to the color and the print of this particular pair. (Although there was a beige/brown, ribbed pair that were calling my name as well! I may have to go back...) 

On a whim, I went ahead and got them -I mean, it is really hard to beat Walmart prices. I think these were like $10 or $12! But as I thought about it for the rest of the day, I began planning a lot of different looks in my mind. Funny enough, this was actually a look I put together shortly before shooting. The other looks required layers, so I opted for this one because it was the coolest option. 

I do think, I am going to have to end up getting them hemmed just a bit. Even with heels, they are a bit too long. You can kind of tell in the pictures because you cannot see the heels! 

Good news! I FINALLY got my first vlog up and running on Youtube! I'll post the link down below, but I am so stinkin' proud of it! It took a while to put together, edit, record the voice over narration, and then after all of that I lost it! D: So... I had to begin all over again, but its funny because I think it actually turned out better the second time around. 

I hope you check it out and enjoy it! 

Thanks for reading and being on this journey with me! Its a fun and exciting one and it is a blessing to be able to share it with you all! =) Have a great weekend!

Seattle Vlog

Hello and Happy Monday! 

Today's post is a fun look! I brought out my inner teenage self with some of the styling choices for this look! 

I wanted the bright dress to be the anchor of the look, and I styled around it. I kept most of the colors pretty neutral (or close anyway.) The checkered vest really pops against the dress. In my opinion, it elevates the look a bit more. It takes it from a casual day dress, to a look you could wear to a work meeting! Or brunch with friends! 

Arguably my favorite parts of this look are the metallic gold, circular bag, and my neon green, star shaped earrings. 

The bag is a little more of an on point choice for this look. The color flows perfectly and the circular shape is something fun and a bit different than your typical bag. 

I think that is why I have hung on to it for a few years now. Regrettably, I do not style it as often as it deserves, but when I need something different it is always right on point! 

The earrings may seem to be more of a unexpected choice! The color in particular is different for me, but I love it!  They were a gift from my good friend, designer, and squishmellow lover, Sarah! 

I love them! I can't wait to style them with some other looks as well! 

Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post! 

Exciting news! I think that I finally have my first vlog ready to go! It is a video about Seattle, and after a lot of work and editing, I think I am finally ready to post it! Stay tuned for that! 

​I hope you have a great week ahead! I willl see you guys on Wednesday! =)

Hello and Happy Friday! 

Just a quick post for today! 

I had been playing around with the idea of this look for a while. I found this vest of Shein -of course- and have been brain-storming edgy ways to style it. I had ideas of styling it over a baggy, graphic tee with shorts, or with a tank top and jeans. Maybe in the fall with combat boots? 

Then I thought, why not just try it as a shirt? 

To be honest, I hated the way it looked when I buttoned the vest all the way down and wore it as a shirt. So, then I decided, why not leave it unbuttoned a little? Turn it into a crop top of sorts! 

That I liked! Not only does it create a bit of a sexier, edgy look, but it also makes the whole outfit a bit more ventilated! 

​I personally love the little hints of skin that come through. Between the buttoned vest, and the distressed holes in the jeans, it adds a touch of sexiness without being completely over the top. 

Since the look is pretty simple in style, I took this opportunity to play around with pictures more. 

I've shot on this stairwell before, almost exactly a year ago actually! And it still holds the same allure as it did a year ago! The iron railing and the brick, plus the way the light shines through the openings, it was the perfect aesthetic for this look! 

Thank you all so much for reading! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! And I will see you next week! Have a great weekend! =D

Hello friends! Happy Monday! 

I guess today instead of trying to beat the heat I'm going to lean into it! At least 'hot' is what I think when I think of these bright, beautiful colors! 

When I put this look together, I really liked it right away! But the thought 'man, this is a really bright look...' did cross my mind. So, I really must have been reaching when I tried on the strappy, block, bright yellow sandals with this look! 

And yet, it works! 

I got compliments right out of the gate! I had to pick up some things at a Walgreens right near where I was going to be shooting at. First, the lady at the pharmacy emphatically told me she liked it and then the cashier. 

That is always a good feeling! 

This is a bodysuit paired with part of a short set. Both pieces are from Shein. The bodysuit is a little older, but it has proven itself time and time again. The colorful print makes it easy to style with a variety of other pieces. 

The short set is a big more of a challenge! You guys know my rule of three: find at least three different ways to style it or send it back/get rid of it. 

Because of the bright color, it makes it somewhat harder to style, but I am getting there! 

This look is definitely a great look for a dinner date, movie date, a brunch! Fair warning though, the bodysuit is a bit on the warm side, I was sweating a bit shooting these pictures as well as running my errands. It was not terrible, but it is something to keep in mind. Also, the bodysuit runs a bit small, so I would size up. I got a medium and it fits VERY snuggly. You cannot return body suits on Shein, so I was stuck. Its bearable and in the cooler months I appreciate it more, but I do wish I had sized up one more size. 

Thank you all for reading! Have a great week ahead!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I hope you guys are all doing well! And that you guys are beating this heat more successfully than I am! 

I, somehow, ended up with a damn cold! In the middle of summer! How does that even happen?! Thankfully I have a few days off to rest and recover. 

I was feeling really inspired today. I had a lot of ideas for future looks to shoot, for videos to record, and I am in the process of getting my first vlog together! So fingers crossed, I will be able to get a lot of it done tomorrow! 

For today's look, I styled a bright red, linen, halter dress from LOFT. 

This dress is ridiculously comfortable! It is soft, and breathable. The halter design, plus the cutout in the back really make a world of difference in this heat! 

Additionally, it has a very strong, sexy feel about it that I love! 

One other great thing about this dress is the versatility of it. This is a pretty laid back look. But throw on some wedges and a clutch and you're good for a nice date night! Some strappy heels, and a wavy hair style? You're ready to go out dancing! A denim jacket (when it is not too hot) and sandals, a great movie date look! 

​There are just so many possibilities! 

Loft is currently having their semi-annual sale, which is why I scooped up this dress (as well as a few other pieces!) It was a pretty good deal! That maybe something you check out, because it will not last long! 

Thank you for reading! And I hope you guys have a great weekend! 

See you on Monday! And please be careful out there! Stay hydrated!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

I hope you all had a great weekend! 

Today is a pretty casual start to the week. But still hard at work! I try to stay pretty active. Everyday I try to incorporate some kind of physical activity whether it is a walk at work or at the park, yoga, hitting the gym, kickboxing, I just try to do something! 

Once I got back from Seattle, hitting the park was one of the first places I went (which is funny since we walked everywhere in Seattle!)

If I am being honest, one of the main reasons for hitting the park first, was because I really wanted to shoot this work out set. 

Its technically not a set but it goes together so well, it may as well be! My sister got me the leggings for Christmas two years ago (give or take) but the bra I found at Walmart and immediately knew I wanted to pair it with these leggings! 

I love the different shades of purple! I also really love the strappy back of the bra. It gives a very sexy, chic feel! 

I also like pairing a light, crisp button down over top of it for a bit more modesty if I wear it out for errands. 

I shot these pictures at two different times of day. I took majority of them on one day in the morning (around 11ish) and I was not crazy with how a lot of them turned out. So, to ensure I had enough content for a post, I tried again in the evening yesterday (around 7pm). It is really interesting to see how different the lighting can be at those different times. It can be challenging but it can also be really rewarding! This last picture, for example, I am so pleased with how it turned out! The little gleam of sunlight, the way you can mainly just see my silhouette! It turned out so beautifully!

Thank you for reading! Have a great week! And have a safe and happy 4th of July! =D
