Bridal Shower Dress

Happy Tuesday! 
I wanted to take a little break from Nsale coverage today and share this dress with y'all. I've been wanting to share it for a while because Vici Dolls always sells out super fast, but I have just been so dang busy. 
The good news is it's still available in size small and you can sign up for email notifications for the other sizes. 
I first saw this dress on Styled Snapshots Instagram and knew I just had to have it. (I've always been a sucker for white, but now that I need options for bridal showers, my bachelorette party, etc. I have been going crazy with the white outfits.
This dress is a little outside my comfort zone since it's so fitted. I usually shy away from fitted dresses because I have pretty curvy hips. However, I've been trying to challenge myself to embrace my curves and reach for fitted dresses from time to time. My tip for making myself feel comfortable is going up a size. I'm usually a medium, but opted for the large so that it wouldn't be too tight. (This is especially important if the garment is a lighter color. Black you should be ok to choose your regular size.) 
I'm obsessed with this dress and can't wait to wear it to my bridal shower. I love that it's slightly sexy with the fit, slit, and cut-out, but I won't feel uncomfortable wearing it around my family at the shower. 








Dress: Vici Dolls | Shoes: Target | Sunnies: Old (similar here & here)
I would have accessorized with these earrings if I wasn't in the biggest hurry and layered a different outfit over this one. haha
What are your trouble areas when picking out clothes? I challenge you to embrace whatever your hang-ups are and pick something outside your comfort zone in the near future. One thing I have always thought to be true is that anyone can wear anything as long as it fits right. So embrace your butt, arms, stomach, thighs, whatever it is and rock something you like but normally wouldn't.

Nsale 2019 Beauty Buys

Today I'm sharing my #Nsale Beauty picks. The best news is that all of them are still in stock. The beauty buys never seem to go as quickly as the apparel, but that doesn't mean there aren't good deals in this category. Check out my favorites below. 
(I've heard so many good things about this color! Definitely think I need to try it out.)
(I LOVE this sunscreen!!)
(I love Drybar products and the packaging is too cute!)
(I can't wear perfume, but if I could I would wear this one.)
(I love this eyeliner and have been wanting to try the shadow. I will be picking this up ASAP!)
(I've seen this on so many instastories I am surprised it's still in stock. I'm a huge fan of Mac lip products so I highly suggest this.)
(This stuff is awesome and a great price!)
(Used the setting spray and primer before and LOVE it. The primer is perfect to throw on when you are running errands on Saturday and don't want to wear makeup. I just put on my serum and that and go out the door!)
(These look like great colors for Fall/Winter)
(My mom uses this stuff and swears it's the best. I'll take her word for it and try it out. You should too. She's picky about her skincare... especially moisturizers.)
(Great for the guy in your life.)

Fourth of July & Lobsters

Happy Fourth of July!!
Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. I'm not sure why, but I have always loved it. (Even when I hated fireworks as a child. That has since changed which makes me love this holiday even more!) 
Since it's a holiday I want to keep things short and sweet today.
I'm sharing this outfit that I wore on Sunday when I was in New York. My best friend and I were just walking around the city, doing some shopping and ultimately ended up on the lobster boat. (So appropriate considering my earrings. hah) 
If you have never done the lobster boat in NYC it is definitely a summer must!! 
A little about the outfit.
I have been LOVING bodysuits lately and this one is no exception. It is super flattering and really comfortable to wear.  I am also a HUGE fan of high-waisted jeans. Every time I buy a new pair I fall more and more in love and these are no exception. (And so reasonably priced.) Lastly we need to talk about these earrings. They are the best pair I have purchased this summer hands down. I highly suggest scooping up a pair for yourself! 











Bodysuit: Free People | Jeans: Old Navy | Earrings: Target | Sunnies: Target | Shoes: Target | Bag: Amazon | Lipstick: Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lovesick

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. I also hope that it entails all the hotdogs (turkey dogs in my case), watermelon, potato salad, and sweet treats your heart desires. Bonus points if you indulge in a lobster roll today. Those are one of my favs.  (And bud light, white claw and rosé because let's be honest... those are all super American too!)

Wedding Guest Jumpsuit

Happy Tuesday!
I can’t believe it is already July! I mean Thursday is July 4th! What are everyone’s plans? We will be doing our usual biking, beach and pool!
Sorry for my mini hiatus. I had the time to post in NYC it was just so hot and kinda rainy so I wasn’t super motivated to get stuff done.
Today I’m sharing one of my FAVORITE jumpsuits with y’all! If you can’t tell by the name it is perfect for weddings. I think I have actually worn it to at least 3-4 weddings. Haha. I got the black version because it’s just so classic. If you aren’t into wearing black to weddings it also comes in a few other colors. (Navy is always a great option that is similar to black.) It’s super flattering and I feel like I can enjoy all the hors d’oeurvres, entrees and dessert and still feel comfortable. I also feel like I never spend the whole night pulling the top up despite it being strapless.
The only downside is that it is pretty long. I’m 5’4 and wear my tallest heels to make it ok. (I know I could get it hemmed, but just never had the time.) If you are shorter than 5’6 or don’t like to wear really high heels you will definitely need to take it to the seamstress before wearing it. If you have any weddings coming up I highly recommend checking out this jumpsuit. The best part is that it can work for any time of the year! That’s always a win in my book.











Jumpsuit: Lulu's (available in 4 other colors) | Earrings: Amazon (Comes in a 3 pack. I'm wearing the smallest size.) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Sunnies: old (similar here) | Lipstick: Mac Cosmetics limited edition (similar here) 


I hope everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July!
There will be a new post on Thursday so make sure to stop by before you get the festivities started!

Summer Classic

Today I have another super classic summer look to share with y'all. 
I wore this a couple weeks ago to grab drinks and have been obsessed with wearing it ever since. I think it just really captures the essence of summer style.
 These jean shorts are a million years old like I've said before, but recently I can't stop wearing them. I love that they are a true classic and will never go out of style. I love this white tank paired with them and tucked it. It really gives the look a clean classic vibe. 
This hat is also a few years old. Funny story. I bought this hat 2 summers ago I believe and I wore it for the first time on Memorial Day weekend this year. Isn't it funny how things can sit around forever and eventually you will wear them? Now I honestly can't stop wearing it. 
The finishing touch on the look is the earrings. I mean if lobster earrings don't remind you of summer I don't know what does. These are one of my favorite pairs of earrings I bought from the Baublebar for Target line recently. The great news is they are still available. 
You will definitely catch me in this outfit a few more times before the end of the season. It's also a great option for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.











Top: Express | Shorts: Urban Outfitters old (identical here) | Hat: Target | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Earrings: Target | Purse: Amazon | Shoes: Steve Madden | Watchband: Amazon | Lipgloss: Lineage Lip Sleeping Mask

Tomorrow I leave for New York and I am so excited. Definitely follow me on Instagram for lots of great content. (@thefashionablylateblonde) I will be sharing lots of new outfits, food, and other fun stuff. I want to try and be super engaged on stories this trip. 
I hope everyone has a great week and thanks for stopping by!
