New Workout Gear

It's been years since I refreshed my workout gear and with holes in my favorite leggings, it prompted me to start the search for some affordable yet stylish and comfortable pieces to update my workout wardrobe. Breathable tank tops, supportive sports bras, and comfy tights are high up on my list.

Blushing For Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's and Galentine's Day my lovely friends!

K and I celebrated Valentine's day last night with Thai food for dinner. Our work schedules this week are crazy busy so that was the only opportunity for us to catch up but some fun things are planned for the weekend ahead! 

Winter Style

Flashes of Fall - Fashion Faves

I love seeing all the cute Fall outfits my blogger friends are wearing up north and just wish we could experience a real Fall. The changing colors of the leaves and the cool weather makes me want to head to Nashville where our friends live to experience all the Fall foliage.

Festival Style

Fun in Florals

After riding out Hurricane Irma, which hit us in Central Florida on Sunday through Monday, and then having to go back to work on Tuesday (while schools were out all and most businesses were closed), I've been a bit of nervous wreck over here. Driving while lights are out at major intersections and debris everywhere is a hazardous commute. There are so many reports of people losing their lives in the aftermath due to stupid and/or accidental mistakes on the road, with generators powering their homes, and you name it. I'm just happy Friday is here because I really need to lighten the mood around here with some fun in the fashion department.

I found this cute little floral number and wore it out to Kate's Birthday Brunch a few weekends ago.

#GirlBoss - Book Review & Outfit Crushes

 I just finished reading #GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso, the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal apparel. I actually didn't know who she was prior to reading the book but the title alone drew me in so I purchased it to listen to on my commute.

In her early twenties, Sophia started out by selling vintage clothing on her eBay store named "Nasty Gal Vintage", the name was inspired by one of Betty Davis' songs. After separating from eBay and launching the Nasty Gal online retail website, Sophia built the multi-million dollar brand in just 7 years.

Resort Style

Right before we left for Mexico I found this cute fringed kimono at Target and knew I had to have it. The lightweight material along with the floppy hat made a comfortable outfit perfect for exploring the shops in the Playa del Carmen village and then heading to the pool at our resort to relax.

The Little Black Dress

Every girl needs a little black dress or five. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many black dresses I have although many are beachy/casual or maxi dresses. I wanted to share some of the true LBDs in my closet from the past and present.

20 Things I've Purchased in 2017

Looking back at my purchase orders for the year, I have to say I've been quite good with no major splurges just one off items here and there. Some for the house, some for Lola, and some for me... all usually on major sale.

Himalayan Hand Carved Natural Salt Lamp

Then & Now High-Low Hem Dress

I bought this high-low dress back in Summer of 2014 for a friend's wedding weekend in Punta Cana. The material is light and airy and it was perfect for a tropical venue. I wore it to their rehearsal party the night before the wedding.

Friday Faves

 

This cute little nugget joined our team at work on Monday morning. We call him a therapy dog (because of pure cuteness) not to be taken literally. He is as sweet as can be but we need to get over the potty training stage as with all puppies.

Boho Transition Outfit

I recently shared some affordable Festival Style outfits that I found at Target and Kohl's in anticipation for my first concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver. I don't own many festival style pieces of clothing but my bestie recently gifted me this Boho Kimono which is made of super soft, lightweight material and is a great transition piece.

Festival Style

I don't go to as many concerts and festivals as I used to in the past but last night I booked flights, along with some friends, to Denver to see one of our favorite bands perform at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. It couldn't be more of a dream come true. K and I visited Denver last year but didn't make it out to Red Rocks which was high up on my list of things to do so this year I'm making it happen.

Friday Faves

Happy Friday lovely friends!

I'm relieved the weekend is here to relax a little but also entertain my in-laws as this is the first time they're visiting our new home. I had a late start at putting this post together so I'll keep it short and sweet just like I hope today plays out in anticipation of the weekend.

Friday Faves

As always I'm relieved it's Friday! I can't even complain that I had a crazy week or anything because it was quite stress-free for a change. I'm just looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend with no big plans or traveling so I can enjoy some downtime at home.

Off The Shoulder Swing Dress

Beach Please

I mentioned earlier this week that we decided to do something different this weekend instead of hosting our usual Easter dinner for friends. It didn't take a lot of convincing to get K to agree to a beach getaway, especially since he had enough hotel points to cover our accommodations. As much as we love enjoying the company of friends, I think we're both a little exhausted from our work schedules and really need a break to relax.

I think everyone knows I'm a beach baby at heart and love all the beach fashion, accessories, and the essentials for a beach trip.

Large Beach Towel / Tote Bag / Palm Tree Earrings

Bikinis

Of course bikinis are one of my favorite things to shop for and Target has been bringing out some impressively cute styles for an affordable price.

Beach Coverups

Most of these coverups are from Kohl's and I've noticed they've also recently stepped up their game in the swimwear and beachwear department.

 Other Beach Essentials

Cooler Bag / Sunscreen / Portable Wireless Speaker

Cell Phone Power Bank / Reading Material / Waterproof Pouch

Happy Easter weekend everyone!

We're on our way to enjoy some sweet sunshine and much needed R&R.

Spring Casual

Fashion inspiration has started to hit home as the warmer days are settling in. As casual and pretty basic this outfit is for a sunny Spring day, it's my definition of comfortable weekend attire.

 

The Accessories

Lauren Conrad Rose Gold Sandals  *  Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings
Michael Kors Chelsea Aviators *  Fossil Rose Gold Watch

 

The Outfit

Zip front tank  * Supersoft jean legging  *  Black Cardigan

Fashion Faves & Looks from the Past

Happy Friday!

It's evident I'm not much of a fashion blogger but I do love shopping and fashion in general so every now and again I find some inspiration. My outfits range from beachy to sporty casual and, on very rare occasions, dressy/elegant.

The weather this week almost hit the 90's during the day which has me dreaming of laying by the pool this weekend. I'm in desperate need of some Vitamin D, of course with lots of SPF. 

Kimonos, coverups, mirrored sunglasses, and all the cute things in between for Spring (which is like Summer in Florida) are on my mind. The evenings can still be chilly enough for jeans and a jacket.

Fringed Kimono  /  Tassel Colorblock Hobo  /  Pineapple Graphic Cover-Up

Cold-Shoulder Top  /  Vogue Mirror Sunglasses  /  White Skinny Jeans

V-Neck Graphic Tee  /  Cuffed Ripped Skinny Jeans  /  Braided Thong Sandals

Looks from the Past
 

A mix of casual, beachy, and dressy. Can you tell I'm a huge fan of crossbody purses?

Fun with Friends
