Swingy Floral Top & Lace-Up Wedges

March 29, 2016

Hello, loves!
Today, I want to talk about one of my new favorite companies. Well, to be honest, I’ve been a member of JustFab for a while now, but haven’t really purchased much until recently. I’ve had not great experiences with companies like these before, the monthly membership for clothing & accessories type. Fabletics was so touchy with quality and sizing, Jewelmint started sending items that totally weren’t my style and would fall apart after only a few wears… Anyway, I decided to give JustFab another chance after catching glimpses of cute shoes and bags that other bloggers or influencers were wearing.
I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the shoes especially. From these 90’s-tastic platforms to on-trend lace-up flats to these gorgeous laser-cut wedges, all pairs I would have expected to pay more than $40 for. The flats I’ve seen from many other brands at upwards of $200, and these are comfy and cute. For my next purchase, I’ve got my eye on these comfy faux suede, stacked heel sandals. So on trend right now, and just $40 with free shipping.
For my look today, I just wanted carefree, unadulterated springiness. Floral prints are a give in, but I’m loving these vibrant blue tones, paired with neutrals in the sandals and clutch.

What do you think of subscription apparel & shoe companies like JustFab, ShoeDazzle, Fabletics, Elizabeth & Clarke, StitchFix etc.? Do you think that you end up sacrificing quality for convenience? Or do you like trying trendy, seasonal items for less than you would find at a brick & mortar store?

Sheer Print ASOS Maxi

March 23, 2016

Hello, loves!
Today, I want to talk about spring & summer maxi dresses. My ideal maxi for warmer months has either loose, floaty sleeves or thinner straps, perfect for layering under a denim jacket or little sweater when nighttime rolls around. It has a hemline that doesn’t drag on the ground, because who wants to have to wear heels (or even wedges) every time with an easy, breezy maxi? Kind of takes the casual-ness out of the look. I like a dress I can throw on with some flat sandals and head out the door. It needs to be in a light, airy fabric. I love either a stretchy jersey or cotton, like the striped version from StitchFix I wore on my birthday cruise last year, or sheer material over a slip, like the dress from ASOS I’m wearing here. Lastly, I love a fun print. I feel like solid maxis tend to accentuate little lumps and bumps, of which I have, ahem, a few. Prints like these make the eye bounce around and are overall more fun for me to wear. I’ve linked some of my favorites below, all under $50.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have seen that I attended the Simply Stylist conference in LA this past weekend. I had SO much fun and enjoyed meeting many bloggers that I’ve followed for years, as well as some fantastic new ones (more about the event and who I met in a future blog post!) I’m not sure if it was our slightly seedy hotel room (should have listened to Trip Advisor) or just my sinus infection coming back, but I’ve woken up with a sore throat every day since! Super annoying. Fingers crossed for me that there’s just something in the air and that it goes away quickly! 😀

Colorful Casual Summer Look

March 9, 2016

Hello loves!
I hope everyone is doing well. I’m still deep in my sickness, Mark and I both! We’ve basically been pretty useless around the house, except for the bare minimum to keep things going, making it to work, etc. I’m very much hoping to have it be gone by this weekend. We have the Natural Products Expo West coming up, and I wouldn’t miss it for much. It’s where I learn about all sorts of new products in the “natural” world, from makeup and skincare to protein bars and pasta sauce, and everything in between. This will be my first time attending as media, which is also super exciting!
My outfit here features even more cute items from BohoCheri, this colorful kimono and graphic bag. I’m obsessed with this tote bag that can come with me anywhere from a date to shopping to the farmer’s market. I love that the pattern is interesting and attention-grabbing yet can go with almost any outfit I pair it with.

Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels

March 5, 2016

Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels Nothing feels quite like the beginning of spring like a floral print maxi dress. This one in particular, with the high slits that allow a breeze to pass through, the bright and cheery pattern, and the fluttering kimono-like sleeves.. It’s pretty much love all around. I also love that you can dress it up a bit, with some crystal-emblazoned accessories, or down, with just some flip-flops to lounge poolside.
This dress is one of the many items I’ll be stocking my closet with this summer from BohoCheri boutique. They have everything from airy tops to jeans to maxis and tanks to get you through the warmer seasons (not to mention, all of the fun festivals that are coming up!) Check out their Instagram page for more outfit inspiration.
Speaking of summer plans, there was a baby hiccup in making our travel plans to Puerto Rico. We will have to leave a day earlier than the rest of the wedding party, so Mark and I will have more time to explore the historic areas of San Juan by ourselves. I very much look forward to checking out the Castillo San Felipe del Morro (a gorgeous castle with incredible views and lighthouses), dining at places like Greengos Caribbean Cantina and Casa Cortes ChocoBar, and shopping along the Calle del Cristo.
