Hey all!

I decided I want to do this segment giving tips for what to wear to certain events. Especially ones I plan on going to during the summer or even have gone on. But most importantly I want to talk about things not to wear because I have most definitely been the one to wear the wrong thing to an event.

I went to a baseball game recently and loved what I wore. I had on a white and black striped shirt with some distressed jean shorts and converse. Then I tied a red button down around my waist. I added a watch and some gold jewelry and earrings that were super simple. Then to finish the outfit I wore, of course, a baseball hat for the team I am cheering on!

Tulle Skirts & Collabs

Hey all!

I hope your weekend was long and spent by the pool! Because mine was well spent with some amazing friends. I got to celebrate a birthday with a good friend on Friday, then had a pool day on Saturday, but on Sunday I got to see one of my oldest friends.



But most importantly I am really excited to announce this collab with Rylie. She is a photographer in Tempe and extremely talented. Her site is here and she already has some of her projects up. I am an incredibly proud of her work and a humble friend lucky to collaborate with her.

We ended up getting lunch and catching up like no time has passed. We ended up exploring and finding some fun buildings to shoot at. I am excited for more photos with her in the future!

Her photos of me are also here on her site and she has tons more to go through. I definitely recommend her she has a great eye and is easy to work with if you're looking for someone to take your photos this summer!

Enjoy!

Floral Off-The-Shoulder & Steve Madden

Hey all!

I am currently on a vacation with my family but I am going to be posting on here and Instagram throughout before my 4-year anniversary post on the 30th. AND my giveaway will be starting on that day too!

I got my hair done by an old friend the other day and I absolutely love it. She always does such a great job so if you're in the Phoenix area then you need to see her. The reason I got my hair done (besides it being overdue for a color) This week I am traveling with my family for our annual lake trip. I am so excited and ready for a break to just relax and breath! I love my job but I went from full-time school to working 30+ hours and have been sick for 2 weeks. So this is much needed to recuperate. Plus I get to hang out with my family and boyfriend for a week soaking up some sun and swimming!

For today's outfit, I have been wanting to put this spring outfit together for forever. I love this pink/navy floral off-the-shoulder shirt. I paired it with some white jeans to make it bright! I also just got my wish list shoes by Steve Madden!!!! They are incredibly comfortable and I will never stop wearing them.

Enjoy!

Summer Fashion Trends of 2017

Hey all!

I'm sorry about the small absense! I have had a few things come up and then immediately started a new job that I love and just wanted to focus on for a bit. But I am back for summer and am excited about some fun outfits and projects I have planned!

My 4 year blog anniversary is coming up this month and I have a big giveaway planned! I will be posting about it in a week with all the details and starting the giveaway. I'm really excited and can't believe its already been 4 years and I just want to give back to all of you who have followed along.

California Sun

Hey all!

I realized I never got the chance to talk about my Spring Break trip with my best friend!

A few weeks ago I got the chance to take a trip with one of my close friends since high school. We went for two days and the first day was spent driving. Which wasn't that bad at all. We had a few wrong directions but that's okay because it was an adventure! We listened to some classic songs from the late 80s-early 00s. Once we got there and checked in we immediately got into our suits and went to the beach before it got dark.


It was super peaceful and we brought a small speaker to play some music, brought a few books, and prayed the birds wouldn't poop on us. Later that night we went to get dinner and drinks at Yard House and just walked around.

The next day we got up early for breakfast and headed down for a longer day at Mission Beach. That water was FREEZING. I don't recommend getting in it in March because my friend and I couldn't feel our bodies. I also always burn so I put on a ton of sunscreen and even reapplied and guess who still got burned? ME! We then went and dried off and decided to walk around and looked at the boardwalk and I ended up getting a shirt and a few things for some friends. We saw this huge waffle cone store and ended up getting some ice cream.

After that, we decided to drive/walk around and look for a place to eat. Went to this place called Duck Dives (love the name) and tried some fun foods. It was an open front bar and had a cool atmosphere. Then that was the last thing we did and started making the long trek home.

Overall we had such an amazing bonding experience and just an incredible time. It was fun to get away for a few days and relax. I put all the info from my outfits and items I am wearing down below. If I didn't list something go ahead and comment and I can tell you! I will be doing two posts soon on a swimsuit look and of the outfit I wore out with a better quality camera!

I hope you enjoyed!

Spring Fashion Trends Of 2017

1// 2// 3// 4// 5// 6// 7// 8// 9//

Hey all! 

I hope you are having a great weekend! I can't believe February has already come and gone and we are fastly approaching spring weather. Unless you are me and live in Arizona where it is already in the 65-75 weather.

I am really excited for spring because I never really post much during this season because I get really busy with school and life and don't have the time but this time I am going to make the effort to be better! Because I love the spring fashion! Especially a lot of the things that have been trending. So I decided to make some trends that I am loving and they are even on my blogging wish list.

V-Day On A Budget

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//

Hey all!

I wanted to post a Valentine's inspired outfit but I honestly didn't have anything ready in time so I decided to do a budget friendly outfit and hopefully get the other one out soon!

I honestly am not a fan of V-Day because I have never had a great time but this year I am having a girl's night with my roommate and couldn't be more excited. Sometimes the best nights are by yourself with your gal pals getting dressed up and having a great time!

It's A Marshmallow World...

Hey all!

Last week my family and I went on a small day trip up north to Flagstaff. It actually snows there and its colder than in Phoenix and we wanted to go play in the snow! So we looked up some places to go and found this one called Fort Tuthill. They have different levels of hills you can sled down and provide tubes for you to use. Theres food trucks inside the park and they have little play stations with open areas for snowball fights and snowmen making.


My sister, mom, and I went down all the hills at least once and we held on to each others tubes and laughed the whole way down. My sister ended up taking a few videos and they are hilarious. I had such an amazing time with my family we ended up doing a little shopping around downtown area and grabbed lunch. Overall it was a fun trip and I hope we get to do it again next year.

I ended up getting my sister to take some photos of me in the snow. Which are so cute if I do say so myself. She did a great job and we had some fun taking them. My brother was trying to "help" by throwing snow on me. It never snows and its not cold enough to do layered outfits so this was my chance!

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays...

Hey all!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! My little brother woke up my family at 4am and was so excited he started jumping on my parents bed. We ended up getting around at 6am which is way too early for my liking but hey it was fun. We all had a great time opening gifts and had lots of laughs. My dad got my mom and my grandma bobble heads that look just like them. And my sister and I got my dad funny card games that we ended up playing later.


The day after Christmas we went to get breakfast together as a family and have been playing games all afternoon. I am so excited because we are going to Flagstaff to play in the snow on Wednesday. And since I have been back living in Arizona the fall/winter time hasn't been the same without changing leaves and some snow!

I am very blessed this holiday to spend it with my family. Santa was very generous to get me a few things like a sewing machine. Which is really cool because I want to make my own shirts! I also got these boots from Santa that I am in loveeeee with. I have quite a few future outfits I have planned with these so be ready to see more of them. I love this outfit because it is just mixing so many colors, its bright, fun, and edgy. And it was perfect to pair my favorite burgundy coat with.

Enjoy!

Let's Sleigh

Hey all!

ITS CHRISTMAS EVE!!!! I decided to do something different and take some photos by my family Christmas Tree. Bless my mother and sister for putting up with me and taking my photos during the holidays you are much appreciated.


 My little brother is counting down the hours until Santa arrives. He read his letter to Santa out loud to all of us and he says "Dear Santa, I want a Xbox 1 and Team Fortress 3 game, and also I want a puppy for my sister." I thought that was the sweetest thing ever for him to say but I don't think Santa does animals unfortunately ;).

I am excited to post this outfit because I really wanted a velvet or sparkly type dress or romper for Christmas Eve/New Years Eve every year. But I had never found anything I really really loved. But Charlotte Russe is honestly my favorite place for going out/fancy dresses/rompers/skirts. I found this romper AND its holiday emerald green and I fell in love. It's perfect. A tiny bit low cut but its not unflattering at all and still classy.

My plans for today are we are going to my Church's unplugged Christmas Eve service. Then we have some time to kill so we are going to come home and open one gift. Every year we go to dinner at this restaurant called Tanzy. Then we go look at Christmas lights and both of those have become a little tradition and its one of my favorite things we do during the holiday's. Do you guys have any traditions?

I hope you enjoy your festivities and have a very merry Christmas and a happy holidays.

#FallFrugalFun

Hey all!

I hope you are enjoying your holiday's already I know that I am. I am ready to start eating some stuffing, turkey, and some potatoes. But most of all Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday to spend with family and friends. And it is so easy to have fun in inexpensive ways.


Some budget friendly ways that I spend time with my family this holiday is we love playing board games. Whether it be Mouth Gaurd, Jin, Apples to Apples, or Dominoes. We are always gathered together laughing, telling stories, and making tons of memories. If you don't like board games then going to your nearest park and playing some touch football or even going to play mini put put. All of these could be some fun inexpensive ways to spend your holiday! This year we also are using this company called Dream Dinners and they prepare the food for you and you either go in and put it together in bags with a friend or family member and then you can make it at home in less than 15 to 30 minutes. It is inexpensive and saves you money from having to go to the store and pick up a million things you may not even use.

 If you need help budgeting I love using Personal Capital's financial software tool. It is a financial software tool that helps you track your personal finances. This way you don't break the bank this holiday and keep on track with your christmas present buying! Click here is you would love to learn more and share the hashtag #FallFrugalFun and tell me about your favorite inexpensive things you do this fall and for Thaknsgiving.

My outfit is also semi on budget. I like to dress up for Thanksgiving but not go out of my way. I fell in love with this pumpkin colored shirt SCREAMS fall. Then I wanted a small edge so I added my liduid leather leggings, and softened the outfit with my ash brown booties. I finished it off with some gold accessories and one of my favorite colorblocked bags from DSW.

Have a wonderful and safe Turkey Day!

Cold Shoulder Tops ft. Lovesick

Hey all,

Thank goodness it is Friday finally!! I hope you guys had a great Halloween. I went with friends to raise awareness for UNICEF and I dressed as Jess from New Girl. I had a great time and we got free donuts! The rest of my week has been really long and I had so many exams and tests happening. I am so ready for a break and for colder weather. It is finally under 85 degrees and getting cooler.


I am sad Halloween is over but we are so close to Thanksgiving and Christmas I can hardly stand it! If you didn't know already those are my favorite holiday's just because of all the time I get to spend with my family and the weather and the layering. So this will hopefully be my last post of me transitioning clothing and it will finally be cool enough for me to layer and do fall outfits!

I love this cold shoulder top from Lovesick. I love how they look on my shoulders. Especially if you are self conscious and don't like tank tops then this is a great happy middle for you. I also have been loving ripped jeans but these ones the holes just keep getting bigger and bigger so that's the only downside. Then I paired some neutrals with it and just love this outfit! Perfect transition into fall!

Enjoy!

White & Pink Accents

Hey all,

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! I went home this weekend to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. We went to this seafood place called Peppadeaux's and it was sooooo good. I got this scallops sweat pea risotto and my sister got this crab mac n cheese and it was delicious. Then today my mom and my sister, and I went to get mani/pedi's and we gave my sister her birthday gift early since we wont see her on her real birthday.


I promise to do some more fall outfit's soon. I have a clothing haul coming in and have so many ideas for outfits. I am also going to a pumpkin patch FINALLY and taking some photo's so I promise those cliche photos are coming!

I have seen these flats, or style of flats, that are lace ups that have those gold aglets at the end of the laces. I am living for that trend and I really wanted some that I could really walk around in for work or presentations. I saw a photo recently that was wearing white on white and I loved it. So I decided to recreate it and add my pink cluster necklace and these flats!

I hope you enjoy!

Am I Hip Yet ft. Lovesick

Hey all!

I am back from my little family vacay. I thought I could post while I was at the lake but it turns out I had no wifi! Whoops! So here I am a week late with this post but that's okay just means I have to catch you up on life!

Countdown

Hey all!

Can you believe how fast we're going through July? I am not complaining though. I need to be back in school and feeling busy with a schedule.

Interview

Hey all!

Thought I would give you an outfit that would be perfect for any kind of interview. I wore this to my job interview in May.

Lace Peplum & Aztec Shorts

Hey all!

First some exciting news! Lovesick just followed me on Instagram and Twitter!! I love this new company and the type of clothing they are selling. It is cute and affordable and isn't like most plus size companies where they ell clothes that are ugly, making you look like a paper bag. So I am going to do a small clothing haul and review the clothes I try on and what I think of the store!

Settled In

Hey all!

So sorry for the short absence. I had finals and then I was moving back home for the summer and then job hunting! But I am back and ready to do some major blogging this summer. I have so many ideas and can't wait to celebrate my blogs birthday on Monday! I plan to do a fun giveaway this year that you will LOVE.

Florals & Neutrals

Hey all!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Our school's production of Midsummer Nights Dream is all weekend and tomorrow is the last show. All the cast and crew have worked so hard on this show and they did such a great job! Also I know that Prom has been going on the past few weekend and the next few so I hope everyone is safe and has a wonderful time! I saw a few friends go to prom recently and you all look beautiful.

Almost There

Hey all!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! It is crazy to think school is coming to an end in just a few short weeks. I will be receiving my Associates and then on to the next step my Bachelors! I am ready for a change of location and can't wait for some new adventures.
