Puff Sleeve

 The puff sleeve. 

I'm sure y'all have been seeing this trend EVERYWHERE! Sometimes you see a trend and you HATE it. Sometimes you see a trend and just need a little more time. And sometimes you see a trend and just immediately love it! That's how I felt about the puff sleeve. I honestly have been on board with this since I first saw it. 

This dress was actually the first piece I bought with a puff sleeve. (I've had it a couple months and I'm just getting around to sharing.) I thought I would get a top first to make sure I liked it on me, but when I saw this dress I just knew I had to have it.

I was also sold because I loved the linen material and neutral color. I paired it here with simple heels, but you could easily turn this into a fall outfit. I'm thinking sock booties and a leather or jean jacket. (Although you'll loose the sleeves when you put on a jacket.)

This dress is sold out so I have linked some other options for y'all.

Dress: Abercrombie (similar here, here, & here) | Shoes: Target | Bag: Tory Burch (similar option in similar color here) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lips: Stila Stay All Day Shimmer Liquid Lipstick in Miele

What are your thoughts on this trend? I'm always so curious what trends people are immediately drawn to and which ones take a little more time. 

This trend will definitely be here through the winter. (I just bought a cute mixed media sweater with puff sleeves.) Let me know if you give it a try! 

Snake Print

I am so excited to share these pants with y'all today! 

Snake print has been on the rise lately and I am all for it. Y'all know I love leopard print so I am also fully embracing this newer "animal" print.

So fun little story about these pants. 

They are from my favorite boutique (Parkside Harbor) and I was actually with her when she bought them for the store. I have literally been waiting/dreaming of these pants since August! They finally arrived and I immediately had to get my hands on them.

I actually wore this outfit in Vegas for market. 

These pants are great for a few reasons. 

1. They are SUPER trendy. 

2. They are so soft! They seriously feel like you are wearing pajamas. 

3. They are great for us short girls. Whenever I buy pants like this I usually have to them majorly hemmed. These are the perfect length because I could wear them with flats and they also work with a small heel! 

Let's also take a moment to talk about this bodysuit. I officially LOVE bodysuits again. I don't know if I ever stopped, but I have been looking for them more and more lately. This one is an amazon find and I love the ruching. It's V slimming.

Bodysuit: Amazon | Pants: Parkside Harbor | Hat: Pink Lily Boutique sold out in black (similar here & here) | Boots: Sold out (similar here & here) |  Purse: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunnies: Amazon | Lipstick: Ulta Automatic Lip Liner in Rosewood

What are your thoughts on the snake print trend? I personally cannot get enough. I will be wearing these pants NON STOP!! haha

Biker Shorts meets Office Blazer

Biker shorts are definitely not a new trend. I showed you here how I was finally getting on board with them. (I wasn't the biggest fan when they first came out.) Well, now I think it's safe to say that I LOVE my biker shorts. I even bought a leopard pair recently. Since I love this style so much now I wanted to show you another way to style them. 

I have seen similar looks on pinterest and instagram and always thought it looked so good. I really didn't think I would be able to pull this off, but when I put it all together I really loved it. 

I like to think of this as a laid back "business" look. If you work in a really fashion forward office that has a laid back dress code you could definitely rock this look there. If you don't... I think this is a great option for brunch or girls night that involves dinner and drinks. The shorts & graphic tee keep things casual while the heels and blazer dress it up a bit. I will definitely be rocking this look very soon! 

Shirt: Parkside Harbor| Shorts: Aerie | Blazer: Nordstrom old (similar here, here, & love this one) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Sunnies: Old (similar here) | Lipgloss: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre in Pillow Talk

What are your thoughts? Would you ever wear this? I'm pretty sure J will ask me what the heck I'm wearing when I do wear this. (Luckily my mom was taking my photos this day and she thought I looked cute. hah) 

Hot Fall Print: Snake Print

Hey y'all!

I was literally supposed to write this blog post like 3 hours ago, but I fell into a deep dark hole looking for wedding shoes. Spoiler alert... I still haven't found any. I'm taking my dress to my first fitting next week and I'm kind of freaking out! If you have any suggestions for cute wedding shoes, please send them my way. 

Anyway, let's move on to today's outfit before I have a mini panic attack! 

I've talked a lot about how much I love leopard print this fall. (See here, here, & here) Today I want to talk about another hot fall print... snake skin.

I have been seeing snake print EVERYWHERE!! I haven't pulled the trigger on anything other than a pair of booties until this past weekend. I've been patiently waiting to find some perfect pieces and when I saw this kimono I knew it was just the one. I like that it's so easy to style and adds a little pop to my all black outfit. I bought it on Saturday and immediately  wore it to brunch on Sunday to celebrate Parkside Harbor 1 year anniversary. You know it's a great piece when you just can't wait to wear it! 

Kimino: The Black Pearl Boutique don't currently see it online (similar here, here, & here) | Tank: Nordstrom | Jeans: Old Navy | Booties: Old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Quay | Lipstick: Laura Mercier shade Happy (can't find it so similar here in  shade Rouge Eclatant)

Rain Rain Go Away

Hi Babes!

This weekend was so busy with J’s birthday, Mother’s Day, & TPC going on that I got 0 content shot. I figured no worries I can knock out a shoot or two after work on Monday. Well, boy was I wrong. It’s literally been raining all day everyday the past two days, and we are supposed to get more tonight, tomorrow & Friday. (Insert eye-roll emjoi here) Luckily I stumbled upon an old outfit that I never posted, and although the top is no longer available, I’ve found lots of similar options for y’all!

You already know I LOVE stripes so this shirt was a no brainer. I love the flared sleeves and the fact that it’s so long in the back. It’s also off the shoulder so you have ALL the trends going on. I paired it with booties because I shot it back in the fall, however, you could totally pair it with some ankle strap sandals or pointy toe heels for a great date night outfit!

Top: Shein old (similar here, here & here love this, this & this) | Jeans: Articles of Society | Shoes: Lulu's (sold out in my color) | Purse: Michael Kors old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Nordstrom old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: I'm not 100% sure since these were taken so long ago. If I had to guess I'd say Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in Bois De Rose

Like I said above, this shirt is long gone, but I linked lots of other shirting style options that will look great with jeans or shorts all summer long!

How’s the weather where you live? I feel like it’s raining all over the country. As long as it stops by Saturday I’m totally ok with it!

Thanks for reading. It really means so much to me!!
