Red Hot

Today I have my last outfit from Mexico.

This might be one of my favorite outfits from the trip. When I first saw this top I thought, “this color would be PERFECT for Mexico.” (I never really wear red although a lot of people tell me I should.) I then noticed it in black and white, and I debated one of those over the red. I finally told myself I had enough black and white, and that this red color was a must for Mexico. I am so glad I talked myself out of a neutral. I love how it pops with my white shorts and makes me look really tan. I also picked up these fun earrings specifically for this top. I know I will be wearing them a lot this summer as a nice pop of color on so many outfits.

Top: ASOS | Shorts: Nordstrom Rack old (similar here) | Shoes: Target | Sunnies: Lulu's not available in my color, but you can get on the waitlist | Earrings: Ashle Gryre (similar here, here, here & here) | Lipstick: NYX Butter Gloss in Praline 

What’s everyone’s plans this weekend?

I have an engagement party on Saturday and then brunch on Sunday.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter and enjoy time with family.

Mexico Maxi Dress

Maxis are a necessity for summer, and/or any tropical vacation. This one is definitely perfect for both. I first spotted it last year and just kept forgetting to order it. However, when I started shopping for Mexico this year, it was the first thing I picked up. It’s extremely lightweight and airy which are perfect for those days it’s so hot, and you don’t want anything touching your body. It also has pockets, which is really a reason to buy anything. Haha

I would say it’s definitely more of a cover-up, but you could get away with wearing it somewhere casual as a dress.

I would also suggest sizing WAYYY down. I’m normally a small/medium and I got the Extra-small. The small fit however, I didn’t want it to be super low cut, so I can wear it as an actual dress to brunch or something. It does have adjustable straps, which helps, but I personally don’t like when the slider sits on top or past my shoulders in the front. What can I say I’m weird about things like that?

What are everyone’s plans for the weekend? I’m so excited because my best friend is flying in this afternoon and we are going on a little road trip tomorrow. Follow me on instagram to find out where.

Spring Stripes

Y’all, I’m finally getting around to posting some photos from my trip to Mexico. I wanted to start with this blue & white stripe top from Nordstrom, because I noticed stock was getting low.

If you’ve followed me for a while you know how much I love blue and white stripes, especially in spring/summer. I was browsing Nordstrom before my trip, and this guy immediately caught my eye. I love the silhouette of the shirt almost as much as the colors. It’s also under $40, which is a total steal in my book. It’s such an easy throw on and go to piece; which are essential to summer wardrobes. I feel like there’s always last minute brunch invites, and vacations that you need pieces like this for, so that you don’t have to put much thought into. I will be pairing it with white jeans and shorts all summer long.

I’ve linked a few similar options since there is such limited sizing in the actual top.

What are your favorite Spring/Summer pieces? I’ll be sharing another great piece on Thursday.
I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Shopping: Mexico

Hi friends!

As some of you may know I am heading on vacation to Mexico in 2 short weeks! (To say I am excited is an understatement.) I've been doing lots of browsing and shopping for the trip so I thought I would share some of those items with you. Even if you don't have an island vacation planned any time soon all of these pieces will be great for spring/summer. Not to mention now is the perfect time to shop for spring/summer because everything is just hitting stores so nothing will be sold out.
