As summer is winding down here are a few of my favorite summer must haves.
T-shirt Dress
I love a good t-shirt dress
Dress it up with wedges or sandals or dress it down with converse. This dress works for both and it’s perfect for traveling, shopping, or date night. I got this one from Marshalls.
Jean Jacket
A great transitional piece for different seasons
A perfect light jacket to wear on cooler nights by the fire. Also a great transitional piece of clothing from spring to summer or summer to fall. I got mine from Old Navy.
Fuzzy Sandals
Comfort + Cute
A cute and comfortable accessory. I’ve talked about them a lot in the past and I have worn them on numerous occasions. Definitely a favorite in my closet.
Bare Minerals Matte Lip stick
A pop of pink to add to any outfitAn up close view of the color
I love a good lipstick. I started using this Bare Mineral matte lip stick from Ulta Beauty and fell in love with it. It goes on soft and smooth and dries matte. I love the soft pink. It works with any outfit. They have a wide variety of shades but I loved this pink in the summer months.
Bare Minerals Matte Foundation
What I wear every day!
Another Bare Minerals product I use daily. This foundation feels so good on my skin and lasts all day. It’s smooth and has great consistency. I wear a fair share to go with my light skin. I got this from Ulta Beauty as well.
That wraps up my summer favorite things. This is not an advertisement or sponsored by any brands. Just sharing my love for these products!
Sorry for the shorter post, I’m currently training for my new job which is taking up a lot of time. Not to worry, I will be back in full swing soon!!! xoxo
Summer is quickly coming to an end so I’m trying to wear as many summer outfits as possible.
I’m loving this romper to wear day or night as summer is winding down.
Although I wear sundress or short sets, I’m always down for a romper, it’s quick, easy, fashionable, and a big trend this summer. I got this jean romper from Francesca’s Boutique, a favorite store of mine. One of the many reasons I am rocking this romper is because it’s a simple one piece that can be dressed up or dressed down.
I decided to dress it up with wedges and gold jewelry, however you can wear a pair of sandals or flip flops for a more casual look. You can make the look more dramatic with a pair of gladiator sandals. If you are going for a sporty look, a pair of converse would work as well. If you are wearing it out to dinner, a sweater and clutch can be paired with it as well. There are so many ways to wear this simple outfit, the possibilities are endless.
Enjoy the last few weeks of summer for they are fleeting.
A quick look of the day for you on this lovely Thursday. I’m currently traveling today so expect a fun travel post next week. Also, a quick thank you to my cousin Anna, for these great pictures.
When I am not working in the summer I love to wear a cute short and t-shirt set. This is perfect for a day at the park, a shopping spree or just hanging out with family. It easy to throw on in the morning for a day out or at night for a late dinner.
Starting from the bottom, I’ve worn these high waisted shorts before and I can’t say enough about them. They are comfortable, easy to wash and since they are white they can be mixed with different tops. I previously wore this shorts with a black blouse, today I decided to go with a brighter top to break it up. My shorts are from Marshall’s. I always had good luck finding great deals at Marshalls.
Moving on to the top, I got this lightweight blouse from Old Navy. I like the bold and bright colors which complements the plain white shorts. The fun colors scream summer and this top can be worn with white shorts, black shorts or any combo.
That’s a quick recap for what I’m wearing today. I promise to have a MUCH longer post next week about my travels. Until then, have a happy Thursday and wonderful weekend!!
Gotta love a pop of pink in the middle of the summer. Thanks to my talented cousin for all the pictures.
Lots to talk about on this lovely Thursday! Today, I decided to change it up and show TWO different looks for two different women.
First, I want the give a HUGE shout out to my cousin for taking these amazing pictures. You will see more in future posts but here’s a sneak peek. She is so talented and I was so lucky to have her help me with these new shots.
A HUGE thank you to my cousin for all these amazing pictures (more to come in future posts)
Plus, how cute is her outfit?! I’m kinda obsessed. Her bold pants are so comfortable and are from TJ MAXX (one of my favorite stores) In a previous post I talked about how it’s good to have a few solid t-shirts in your wardrobe and its paying off. The white t-shirt complemented her pants perfectly. She got her shirt from TJMAXX as well and her shoes are from Marshalls. I love the straps on them! Thank you so much Anna!!
I’m in love with this outfit. The pants are a must have for me!
Now, for today’s looks I’m showing two different styles of dresses. Another big thank you to my mom, who stepped in front of the camera this time to show off her outfit. Both dresses are from Old Navy. They are both light weight which are great for summer and come in a variety of colors. I personally like to go with bright, bold colors so, I went with pink. My mom decided to go with blue, which is a more relaxed color.
Gotta show my mom some love on the blog. And i had to show her dress off!
Starting off with my look, I went the bright pink dress. I loved the cutouts in the front and back and I love how it was loose fitting. Since it is a solid color I can add different statement pieces. I decided to down play my look with just a simple pair of wedges. But, I could also add a sweater, jacket, or bold necklace to change up the look. I am always wearing these shoes. They are super comfortable, they are nude (gotta love a neutral color), and they are versatile. I can wear them with a dress, capris, or even jeans. Wedges are on my summer must have. I got mine from DSW.
Gotta love a pop of pink in the middle of the summer.
My mom decided to add more accessories to her outfit. She went with a similar dress in blue (her favorite color). She also decided to get a style with longer sleeves. They are ¾ quarter length and the dress works great for a night on the town with a bit of a breeze. My mom decided to add some jewelry. Her necklace and bracelets are from Old Navy as well. I love to use jewelry to make a statement but I love dhow my mom had her jewelry match her dress. I also like how she wore a pair of sandals to dress down her outfit. I, on the other hand dressed it up with wedges.
My mom is showing off her blue dress, on sale from Old Navy.I love how she matched her jewelry perfectly to her dress.
I love how you can see two very different styles and outfit puts together from dresses that are so similar. I hope this gives you a few ideas for outfits to wear in the middle of the summer. As well, as show you how you can wear similar dresses in different ways.
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw I ordered and received my order from Kylie Cosmetics last Friday. Today, I’m gonna do a product review and share my favorites from her collection. Starting off, this is not a sponsored post or advertisement. I’m just sharing my own personal thoughts.
I ordered my first lip kit from Kylie Cosmetics last August, I did a lot of research on the colors and watched a lot of Kylie’s snapchat’s as she modeled the colors and decided to go with KoKo K. I got my package in less than a week. I loved the packaging and most importantly, I loved the lip kit. With my order, I got a lip liner, and matte lip stick. I went with a pink-nude. It works perfect for any outfit. I do recommend putting on a Chapstick before you put on the matte lip stick, so your lips dont get dry. It is long lasting (even through eating and drinking…it stayed on for the whole night).
My first package from last August. Love the post card.Here I am wearing KoKo K. I love the pink-nude. Its long lasting and can be worn with almost anything
Last week, there was a sale for Kylie Cosmetics, buy one get one free. I definitely wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. I got the Burgundy Eye Shadow Palette and got a FREE lip gloss of Posie K. Another thing I appreciated was free shipping for purchases over $40!! Once again, my orders came in less than a week with personalized packaging. I love the details that come along with ordering from online shopping. I love the gloss, the berry color adds a pop of color to any outfit and once again its long lasting. It also adds a shine to your lips and the shine stays there after its on for a few hours.
I love the mixture of mattes and shimmers that come in the eye shadow palette. There are a variety of color tones that can match anyone’s skin. Overall, I was very pleased with my second order and I will be ordering again.
My most recent order. I love the little note that came with it.The Burgundy Eye Shadow Palette.I am wearing the Posie K gloss. i love the shimmer and that berry color.
These are the only things I have purchased from Kylie Jenner’s makeup company. I obviously wear a lot of other makeup (I get most of mine from Ulta Beauty) or dare I say drug stores?! Haha!! But, it is nice to try something nice and splurge a bit on makeup. Overall, I give Kylie Cosmetics a 10/10 from me! Go ahead and check out their website, they are constantly restocking and having great deals.
I’m loving this easy outfit for today’s look of the day. Whenever I travel I want to be comfortable, but I also want to look fashionable. This outfit gives you the best of both worlds.
I got this all black jumpsuit from Old Navy a few years ago. It’s very comfortable and has pockets (a personal favorite of mine)!! Who doesn’t love pockets in skirts, dresses, and rompers?!
I got these fuzzy slides from Marshall’s and they too are comfortable but also a major fashion trend right now! An added Bonus: they were under $20! Lastly, my hat can be paired with shorts for a day outside, with a bathing suit for a relaxing day by the pool.
These fuzzy slides are fashionable and comfortable!
I got my hat on sale from Old Navy as well! Who doesn’t love shopping without worrying about breaking the bank?! I decided to wear it
A fun, summer hat that can be worn with any outfit!
My purse is from Francesca’s boutique!! It’s lightweight and has a lot of storage.
That’s what I’m wearing today. How would you accessorize this bold, black jumpsuit? Let me know in the comments below! Happy Thursday friends!
Well, the celebrating has come to an end and we are at the halfway mark of summer. I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July. Mine was shared with family, friends, LOTS of food and fireworks. It’s always nice to take time to spend with family and relax.
My pinterest treats weren’t a complete flop. Granted, they didn’t turn out just like the pictures (but do they ever?!). Overall, everyone loved them from snacks, to desserts and displays. If you follow me on Instagram I showed preparations throughout the day. Down below I also share the before and after of all the goodies. Almost all the snacks were easy to make and devoured. To read more about the treats feel free to follow me on pinterest to see the full recipes. I got in the patriotic spirit with my outfit and nails as well.
My outfit is from Francesca’s. I loved the one shoulder top, it was also lightweight which was perfect for a warm day. The blue and white got me in the holiday spirit
My scalloped shorts were also lightweight and matched my top perfectly. You can’t have blue and white without red!
I did my nails in red and silver to celebrate but I didn’t want to do anything too crazy since I had to be at work the next day! Haha!!! My nail polish is from Chrome Girl Nails. The sparkly red is called Pretty Pout and the silver is called Party Star.
Well, that wraps up my Fourth of July. I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing day! Check down below for my outfit and dessert details. Happy Thursday!

Today’s outfit is for those chilly summer days. I don’t know about you, but I am still experiencing a few summer days in the 60’s!!!!! Yikes, it’s almost the Fourth of JULY!! Now, onto the details on my outfit!
I got my maxi skirt from Old Navy. The reason I shop at Old Navy often is because I can get good deals and they have good seasonal clothes. The clothes don’t last forever but it’s nice to have a few staple pieces in my wardrobe when I am in a rush. I am not a huge maxi skirt person. To be honest, I only have two skirts and one dress. I love the way they look but I’m a short person (5’3”) I can’t always pull off a long skirt. What I love about this skirt is the slit that goes up to the knee on the side. It is something unique and it breaks up the stripes.
My top is a regular black t-shirt. I got it from Old Navy but I have also gotten neutral shirts from Forever 21, Francesca’s, and H&M. I love black and white t-shirts. They should be a must-have in your collection. They can be paired with any outfit, sporty, casual, even something to wear when you are running errands.
Once again, I am wearing my favorite jean jacket from… you guessed it, Old Navy. It’s lightweight and easy to throw on in a rush.
As you can tell, I got a thing for good deals at Old Navy.
Well, that’s a look into what I am wearing today! Have a wonderful weekend!!
LOTD
Last week I shared a dressed up and more formal look, Today I am sharing how you can use the same pieces to dress the look down. I wore this over the weekend spending time with my family. It was a perfect casual look to sport.
Starting at the bottom, I got these gladiator sandals last summer from DSW and they have been a crucial part of my wardrobe. They are fun and unique since they are black, they can go with anything, shorts, skirts, even a t-shirt dress.
Shoes from DSW
I got my shorts last summer as well from Marshalls but they are originally from Nine West. They are comfortable and a bit longer so you can wear a longer top with them.
Shorts from Marshalls
This top is the same one I wore last week with my orange skirt. I got the top from Francesca’s.
Front of top from Francesca’sBack of top from Francesca’s. Gotta love a little lace in the back!
The necklace is also the same from last week to add a pop of color! I purchased that from Francesca’s as well.

Lastly, the hat I got this summer from Marshalls. It was a total splurge purchase, but I am so happy I got it. It is big and protects you from the sun and it’s black which matched perfectly with my outfit.
A fun hat to finish off the outfit!
Well, that’s the rundown of what I am wearing today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
Is it Friday yet?! Haha!! It’s been one of those weeks. Today may be one of my favorite outfits of the summer and we are only half way through June!!!
I wore this ensemble on Sunday to Church and I plan on wearing it in the future to work and a few parties I have coming up. I love to dress things up when I can. Sunday was one of those days.
Starting from the bottom, I got these heels from Marshall’s a few years ago, and I love them!!!! I know heels aren’t for everyone but for me, I can’t get enough of them! They are super comfortable, high, and black!! All my favorite things! I wore them once to a dance and didn’t take them off for four hours! Yep, no pain!
This skirt is from Target believe it or not! It’s from the Victoria Beckham collection that launched in the spring! I love the bright orange, the detail and print, and I love the Victoria Beckham style!! I saw it and had to get it! Plus it has a pocket! Nothing better than having a hidden pocket in a skirt or dress!
Here’s a up close view of the skirt to show the details.
My top is from Francesca’s! I’ve had it for a few years and it’s still on excellent condition. I love how Francesca’s clothes are superior quality. This silky black top is simple in the front but lace in the back. A great top to dress up a pair of capris, shorts, or skirts.
Lastly, my necklace is from Francesca’s as well. I love wearing bold colors and this orange and black combo was perfect for a Sunday with family.
