Date Night in the New Year with UpBra

December 27, 2017

This post was created in partnership with UpBra. Items in this post were provided to me for reviewing purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

JustFab Lace Bodysuit and The Giving Keys NecklaceThe start of a New Year always lends itself to an onslaught of resolutions and promises we make to ourselves, and I am no stranger to this tradition. I’ll be sharing some of my own over the next few posts, and I’m starting off with something a bit personal. Mark and I have been together coming up on 5 years, and I’m not going to lie when I say that we’ve often fallen into a rut with our date nights. It often ends with us ordering something for pick-up, coming back and watching countless episodes of Broadchurch or The Punisher. It’s just so easy!
So for this upcoming year, I’ve decided to implement a new “policy” for Mark & I and it includes one spectacular date night each month. I have so many fun things planned, some seasonal or event-specific which I don’t want to share here in case he reads my blog haha! But that gets me to thinking also of how I want to feel on our dates. Flirty is always a good start, but sometimes I also want to feel sexy!
I was sent a couple of bras from UpBra recently, and I’ve been finding myself reaching for them more than my go-to seamless bras that I’ve had for years. When I first put on the “perfect T-shirt bra“, I instantly noticed perkiness, fullness, and a lovely shape to my bust-line. It also dips down pretty low in the front, so it’s ideal for wearing with low-cut V-neck tops and dresses. I paired it with this lace bodysuit to highlight my décolletage and I was thrilled with how I felt. Sexy, but to too showy, and totally ready for a fun, adventurous date night out on the town with my love.

Day Date Maxi Look

June 25, 2017

Day Date Maxi Look
Hello, loves! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite maxi dresses for summer, the Kaia from Ellie & Adair. It’s definitely an item I would call an elevated basic, because it’s simple and can be dressed up or down, but it has some extra little details. This maxi features collarbone-grazing cutouts, knee-high slits, and… pockets! It’s also the softest stretch material and is so comfy to lounge around in, or it can totally be dressed up for a day date or the material at the bottom can be tied and worn for a GNO with some heeled sandals and a statement necklace.

When pulling the accessories to bring this dress to life, I knew I wanted to keep it playful and casual. I grabbed the necklace to add some color and a touch of glam, the sandals for comfort and simplicity, a denim button down for texture, and a crossbody bag only big enough for the essentials. I felt the look was missing something, so I tried on this panama hat. Just in case you all hadn’t noticed, I rarely wear hats, and only own a handful. They’re just not an accessory I reach for, and I think that’s because I am under the impression that I have an oddly shaped head. Most hats just  don’t fit my head right! I love a floppy sun hat, but most fedoras, caps, etc., I think are super unflattering on me. This one though called to me, and I’ve worn it several times since purchasing. I thought it perfectly went along with the casual, not-trying-too-hard vibe I was going for, and totally a look I would wear for a day date with the boyfriend.
