On a recent trip to Forever 21 I stumbled across this dress and immediately fell in love with it! It reminds me so much of the 40’s and I had to have it! The length, tapered collar, button front, tie waist and floral print all add to its charm. This dress is super lightweight and perfect for the warmer temps!
For accessories I wanted to keep this look pretty casual so I styled it with espadrille wedges (similar), my faux tortoise Quay sunnies and to tie the look together I added a bright classic red lip. Seriously I’m obsessed with this style, and will be on the hunt for more dresses with this silhouette in the near future!
I am currently looking at purchasing a designer bag and wanted to do a little research on affordable models of the most coveted brands. So I have gone through and found a variety of different sized bags so there is something for everyone, and to show that if you are thinking of getting a designer bag, there are many options well under $1000. Perfect for someone saving for their first bag, or just looking for luxury without the steep steep price tag. Enjoy! (hover over each bag, and click on it to shop!)
While if New Mexico we traveled out to the Bisti Badlands and of course I needed a few pictures here before we started our adventuring. 😉 So this look is so light, airy and perfect for the summer and late spring. The beautiful turquoise color of the dress looks perfect with all skin tones and hair shades! I point this out because I recently dyed my hair back to its natural color and have noticed certain colors I would wear as a blonde I might not feel it looks as flattering on a brunette and vice versa. But this color is perfect for everyone for the season.
This is another dress I ordered from Boohoo and I love the boho feel of this piece. It looks beautiful with cool tone jewelry such as silvers and blues, and even shades of taupe for accessories. Here I paired it with a taupe felt hat from Jessica Simpson, this beautiful silver mesh watch from Vincera and sparkling silver rhinestone sandals. This Boohoo dress is great quality and was an amazing price so be sure to get it before it sells out if you are interested in it! I really love this dress and am sure I will be wearing it on repeat this season!
While exploring Old Town Albuquerque I wore this beautiful floral peasant maxi dress, and seriously received so many complements in it! It is such a flattering and comfortable dress! I must also add that it is totally travel friendly. The weight of the fabric is ideal as it does not wrinkle so you can literally pull it out of your luggage and put it on.
The dress was perfect for the desert climate as it has long sleeves and a breezy full skirt.
I paired this dress with a few pieces of my grandmother’s vintage silvery jewelry and simple slip-on sandals. This dress is a warm shade of navy and covered in a lush floral print which means you can wear it all day and not have to worry about changing for the evening.
This dress can be accessorized for a boho or southwestern look and is priced so well I am sure it will sell out soon! I purchased it for just over $30! – yes, that’s right, I know sounds crazy! So if you love it, be sure to order soon or you might miss out!
I am so excited high-waist shorts are becoming more and more available because they are just so comfortable and cute to wear! These in particular are cloth material in a neutral striped pattern. I love the paper bag waist with tie sash and wide leg openings – when shorts fit more relaxed, they look more flattering!
For this fun, sunny day look, I paired these Forever 21 shorts with a vintage button down chambray oxford shirt that was my grandmothers, (similar linked) these super comfortable lace up wedges from Vionic, and my favorite summer bamboo clutch! This look is perfect for weekends and brunch! I just love how light and airy this look is and chambray looks amazing with stripes! For final accessories, I am wearing these lightweight mother-of-pearl style earrings from OSOS and my faux tortoise Quay sunnies!
Summer is right around the corner and nothing beats a crisp white button down look on a beautiful day! This one in particular is giving me all the vibes!! I love the extended layer hem and smart collar detailing! The top provides light stretch so it’s perfectly feminine, and will fit like a glove.
I decided to pair this look with ruffle hem cropped jeans in a classic denim shade of blue. I just love how classic denim looks with white, it makes it pop! For accessories I am wearing wedge espadrilles, these gorgeous turquoise hoop tassel earrings, and carrying my favorite summer bamboo bag!
If you are looking for these accessories, the earrings are from Sugarfix by Baublebar, which is exclusively sold at Target! Best of all, these are only 12.99! The quality is amazing and the weight of the earring is not too heavy which I really appreciate. For the bag I am carrying, this is a dupe for a very expensive bag. I purchased mine from Amazon for just over $40 so if you are interested this bag, but want it at a quarter of the price of the original version, check out Amazon! And the wedge espadrilles are from last year but I still love them and they are perfect for summer so I have linked similar for you to shop!
As the weather here starts to warm up, I’ve got my thoughts the beachside, and with that I bring you this striped jumpsuit ensemble! This beach inspired look is so easy to wear, is super transitional, and unbelievably comfortable.
This striped chiffon jumpsuit is very lightweight and looks so crisp on. It is partially lined to the thigh so you have modest coverage while still maintaining an airy look. I paired this one piece with a straw fedora, slides, and my summer staple bamboo bag! Now I’m sure you couldn’t miss my earrings! Yes, those statement makers are GORGEOUS and under $15! They are actually from Target, so the next time you are there make sure to grab a pair!
Now if the weather is a little unpredictable, or you want to wear this look and it isn’t quite warm enough yet, you can always style it with your favorite denim jacket and that would perfectly compliment this ensemble!
Hey Y’all! Hope your week is going well! As you may have discovered by now, I like to experiment with my fashion and try out new things so here are 2 looks I put together (before I dyed my hair) and am just now getting around to sharing with you all! So let’s start things off with this fun, sparkling, futuristic look brought to you by Shein, Lala Shoes and Covergirl!
This layered dress is super cute with the mock neckline and long sleeves, but for someone over 5’6” (I’m 5’8”) it’s a bit short, but I still wanted to create an awesome look with is so I decided to pair it with these super fun metallic glam take on combat boots from Lala Shoes which tie into the shine of the dress perfectly! The boots are surprisingly comfortable and really easy to wear!
So I also wanted to create a more wearable look featuring the same color scheme and came up with this violet crushed velvet top and studded snap front skirt! It’s super cute with a bit of edge and a ton of texture!
Now lastly for the lips I am wearing the new Covergirl Melting Pout in Ballerina and have the sparkling gloss layered over top to bring my entire ensemble together!
Let me know what you think of this look, I know it’s a little different than my normal posts but as I said I’m not afraid to be a bit adventurous with my style and share new trends with you guys!
I am a sucker for clothing with embroidery so when I spotted this piece on the Boohoo website I made no exception and had to get it! The fit is so adorable with the pleated shoulder accents give it a unique touch.
So for this look I wanted to tie in color so that the embroidery would really pop. To do so, I added a bright orange scarf to my hair and wore my current favorite bold earrings from Sugarfix! And to complete the ensemble I paired everything with mywhite ankle boots. These actually ended up an excellent choice for the climate, as we were in New Mexico.
Hair accessories are super “in” right now so I have gone ahead and linked a couple of extra options here for you guys to check out. I really enjoyed wearing the orange bandana. It was such a simple accessory to add to my look but make such a huge impact!
I like to pride myself on my packing abilities when it comes to traveling. Jhonathan and I have made many trips with only a carry-on, but to do so I have to use space saver bags and limit the amount of shoes and accessories I take, etc. Well with the Andiamo Classico, I wanted to see exactly what all I could fit inside without space savers! Below is everything I packed for my recent 4 day trip to Albuquerque. And in case you were wondering, yes the Classico is a carry-on!
So for this trip I wanted to bring a variety of colorful dresses and athletic wear. We would be experiencing all different types of terrain on this trip so I wanted to be prepared, but still pack efficiently. I was able to pack all of the following, easily in the Classico.
3 – Dresses
- Short long-sleeve black dress
- Double layered navy long-sleeve maxi dress
- Double layered turquoise long-sleeve maxi dress
4 – Shoes
- Tan sling backs
- Cognac slip-ons
- Rhinestone flip-flops
- White leather block heel ankle booties
4 – Athleticwear pieces
- Sports bra
- Leggings
- T-shirt
- Hoodie
1 – Jewelry organizer filled with jewelry
1 – Straightener
1 – Curling iron
1 – Hat
1 – T-shirt
1 – Pair of shorts
(socks and undergarments and pjs)
And just for fun I have included 4 of the looks so you can see the pieces I packed, how I styled them, and the condition the clothes were in after being in the suitcase (no, I didn’t iron anything)
Now whenever I travel I always wear a comfortable look and my athletic shoes, that way I do not have to take up the space in my suitcase with two large pairs of shoes…so if you were wondering where my sneakers were, I was wearing them instead of packing them.
And that’s it! Everything I needed to look my best on this trip fit perfectly in this case without space savers! I of course put my electronics, makeup, chargers etc. in my “personal item” for easy access, but when it comes to carry-on’s this case is truly chart topping! From the sleek appearance, to the storage capability this suitcase is well worth the investment and will definitely be headed with me to Paris in the Fall. Find the perfect Classico color for your next trip at the Andiamo site linked here, and happy traveling! <3
