T-Shirt Shop Series: Let's Fiesta!

Happy Tuesday ya'll! It's so good to be back! I'm sorry for my absence on the blog, I've been going through some things over the last month and the blog took a back seat. Long story short I work a full time 8-5 job, am a photographer & a blogger. Needless to say I was burnt out and needed a short break. I was getting sick on and off and stressing about life and I needed to take a chill pill. Anyways I'm here and back with fresh content for you guys and couldn't be more excited to share it! 

If you have been with me since the beginning you know last year I started something on my blog call "The T-Shirt Shop Series." This was super popular last year and I've brought it back for a second round because let's be real, I'm a Florida girl and love my shorts and a good        T-shirt! 

This first look was actually my Cinco de Mayo look and I'm obsessed with it! The whole look is from Old Navy, shocking I know but I love it! The shorts are probably the most comfy pair of bottoms ever and I love the embroidery detail on them. The T-shirt, I mean need I say more this is perfect for summer especially! The sandals I currently own in two colors and need every pair! They are probably the best slip sandals I've ever owned and adore the bright colors for summer time! 

Let me know what you all think and how you like to wear your T-shirts in the comments below!

New Smyrna Beach Day

Summer is on its way here in the sunshine state! We have already made a few local beach trips to New Smyrna Beach our go to beach here in Orlando. If you have never been it's an awesome drive on beach making it the most convenient to pack lunch and drinks and have a day at the beach without lugging your stuff from the car to the beach, perfection! Saturday was perfect beach weather and so beautiful! We of course went with our friends and had an amazing time and of course snapped some photos as well!

The beach is my favorite place, the best place to take a minute and reset! I was born and raised in Florida and could never imagine not living remotely close to a beach! What about you? Love the beach or no? 

Again all my pieces are linked below. Everything is super affordable, the suit is actually from  TJ Maxx and the top and shorts are Old Navy and the hat is my favorite LC by Lauren Conrad for Kohls, make sure to check them out!

Easter Florals

Happy Monday Y'all! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! I had a little me time getting a facial on Saturday and some amazing brunch yesterday for Sunday Funday with our favs, but you're here for the fun floral look below right?! This is another great option for Easter and for spring with the floral details and fun colors. This dress again is from Old Navy along with the baby blue flats! The bag is from Hobo International and I love it for going out or when you don't need to carry a big bulky bag. The flats come in tons of colors and are super comfortable, easy to wear at work and then out or traveling, simply versatile! I love this look and I hope you enjoy it! What are you doing for the holiday? Anything special? Let me know!

Classic Blue

Happy Friday you guys! This is the start of some Easter/spring dress options for you. This sweet baby blue with white detailed number is of course from Old Navy. I paired it with nude Nine West heels from TJ Maxx and my Coach bag. This is a great look for the holiday, especially is you are going to church, a family gathering, or somewhere you need to dress a little more modest. This dress is super comfortable and easy to dress up or down just by changing out the shoes and the bag. Probably my favorite place to shop for spring and summer dresses is definitely Old Navy, of course super affordable pieces that are well made and fun! *Fun side note for you, Old Navy gave me my first job as a sales associate at 16 and I can tell you that the pieces and quality have only gotten better since then!* I very much appreciate that there is something there for everyone! 

What are you all doing for Easter? Do you want to see more holiday related looks or recipes? Let me know below!

Blushing Pink

We are gearing up for spring which means I'm pulling out my pastels, my favorite! This is one of my favorite outfits to go from a day at the office to happy hour after work. I really love to have pieces in my closet that are easy to wear casually or dress them up, versatility is key! This top is from Loft on sale, skirt is TJ Maxx and shoes are from Nordstrom Rack. All classic pieces that can mix and match with other things! This is also a great look for Easter coming up and I'll be posting some great dresses for the holiday as well in the next few weeks! Make sure to keep an eye out! 

Denim Days

Spring and summer are upon us but there is nothing better than a cute top and jeans for any and every occasion! As much as I love dresses and skirts I'm a sucker for a great pair of jeans. My favorite jeans tend to be anything Old Navy especially the style you see here, High Rise Rockstar. They are the most comfortable everyday denim that go with everything! I paired it with this off the shoulder Loft top heels from Target and Bag from Bloomingdale's. I love petite details as well and am obsessed with the sleeves on this top it gives this understated look a little something extra! Just a great look to always have in your closet for going out for happy hour or a shopping day!

Where do you like to shop for denim and where do you purchase your favorite jeans?            Let me know in the comments below!

Walking Into Spring

Happy Monday everyone! As we start moving from February to March I can't help but start pulling out my spring colors and accessories. Here in Florida the weather is back to normal and we are already gearing up for beach trips and pool days since it looks like summer will be here soon for us, therefore I'm enjoying our few weeks of "spring" that we get here. I love spring and summer for the colors and prints! One of my favorite colors is royal blue a great transition from winter to spring, not to bold just yet! I've paired this blue dress with a pink bag and heels keeping the look simple but still fun and very spring. 

The dress is from Kohl's, the bag is Michael Kors, and the shoes are Halogen from Nordstrom Rack. As I've mentioned before I love a great deal and will occasionally splurge on designer items but I always grab them when there's a sale! Hope you all love this look! Let me know what you like to wear in the springtime! 

Valentine's Day Sweets

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! We all know Valentine's Day is about chocolates and flowers but I'm talking sugar cookies and baking in this post! I love showing my love and appreciation for people through cooking and baking for them. Baking was a huge part of my childhood and has continued into adult life. Some of my best memories growing up are helping my mom bake cookies and treats for any and every holiday. My mom is the most talented women especially when it comes to her baking and creative abilities, she's amazing! So for Valentine's Day I wanted to make one of the recipes that reminded me of my childhood, a classic sugar cookie and royal icing.  I recently took a poll on IG asking if y'all were interested in seeing the  sugar cookie recipe and y'all said yes, so here it is! 

 

Sugar Cookie Dough:

1 1/2 cups butter, soft not melted

3/4 cup sugar

3 1/3 cups flour

1 tsp vanilla

1 to 3 tsp. milk

Mix and chill for at least 2 hrs. if not longer

Roll on floured surface

Bake at 325 for 15 min,

 

Royal Icing:

Use the Wilton recipe that includes meringue powder

 

I hope you all enjoy this post and if you make the cookies please share and let me know! :) Hope y'all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! 

Classic Girly Valentine's Look

Happy almost Valentine's Day! I'm sharing my favorite Valentine's Day look below with you all! I love super girly looks for V-Day especially pink and white and of course I had to add heart shaped balloons <3 This is more of a day time look and to dress it up I added some heels and classic accessories. Both the top and skirt I found at Loft for killer prices...Loft online is my go to for a good deal, you can almost always count on an extra percentage off already marked down prices. This top was $19 and skirt was $9! I do tend to invest in quality accessories and key pieces, because of course we all want the most for our money! My heels are from Nordstrom Rack by Halogen, my bag is Coach, and earrings Kate Spade, yes all more expensive but no I didn't pay full price for any of these items. You can ALWAYS find a great deal on designer brands you just have to look! Needless to say you don't need to spend tons to look like a million bucks! I hope you all enjoy this Valentine's inspired look! 

Do you have any fun plans for Valentine's Day? What is your ideal V-day look? Let me know!

Poppin' Pink

Happy February Everyone! With Valentine's Day only weeks away I'm pulling together a few Valentine's looks for y'all! What better way to be festive than with a pop of pink! This is one of my favorite looks for Valentine's Day, it's perfect for the office or date night...or both! I'm loving the classic black flare skirt with the pop of pink and black t-strap heels! It's perfect for all my girls out there that don't want to be in your face Valentine's but still festive! 

If this is still to bold for you try just incorporate some accessories that are for the holiday! Maybe a heart necklace or pink or red bag, something along those lines would be perfect with a solid black dress or jeans and a top!

What is your go to Valentine's look? Do you love the super girly look or like something less pink? Let me know below!

Top 7 Travel Essentials

,

Happy Thursday everyone! I wanted to sit down and talk travel essentials for a few minutes. I have several trips planned for this year and am working on booking more trips and have quickly learned that we all have our basic things we bring on every trip. That being said I have 7 travel essentials besides basic necessities that I take with me on every trip I go on and they really have come in handy recently with all our traveling. Check out my top 7 travel essentials below and let me know your must haves when traveling!  

1. Of course first things first is my suitcase. I recently invested in a hard shell suitcase from iFLY that is super cute but also heavy duty. I love how easy it is to pack and how much it holds. I only travel with a carry on suitcase as it saves time and money when traveling as well! I've linked my suitcase below as well as a few others I love!

2. Next thing is a toiletry bag. I'm obsessed with my Genoa Voyager Toiletry Bag from Hudson + Bleeker. This bag is perfect for traveling whether just escaping for the weekend or leaving on a 2 week excursion you will want this bag with you. I'm nortorious for packing several different bags for different things and this keeps it simple. I pack this bag for toiletries and another for makeup that's it. Find my bag linked below along with a few others that I adore!

3. Makeup is my kryptonite and I can't travel without it, needless to say I need a bag that can take it. My friend Mer got me my current makeup bag that I adore for traveling as it has a seperate area for brushes and is durable and easy to clean. It's the perfect size and highly recommend having a makeup bag like it that can withstand the travel. Again I've linked my bag below along with other recommendations. 

4. Of course you need your travel sized toiletries for your trip. I always have my shampoo, conditioner, face wash, perfume, and micellar water. I pick up all my travel sized toiletries at Ulta and Target. Below are some of my favorites that I take everywhere with me.

5. Every time I travel I always make sure to have a sweater, doesn't matter if I'm going to the hottest destination or not I always have a sweater for the plane or if you happen to get chilly out to dinner or something. My must have cardigan is from White House Black Market, below are some other favorites too.

6. Up next I always travel with flats, or whatever is your most comfortable walking shoe because let's be honest you don't want to be stuck without comfy shoes. Never travel without shoes that you can live in because when you travel you never know what you'll be doing. Again some favorites linked below.

7. Final must have for travel besides the absolute necessities is a basic T-shirt and some jeans because you can't go wrong with that outfit. Casual and comfortable is the absolute way to travel. My go to as you all know is Old Navy and Loft for my casual looks check out some must haves below.

Hope you all enjoyed this post, please let me know your travel must haves in the comments below!

Vero Beach Weekend Vaca

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all have had a great start to the new year and have set some goals for 2018! One of my goals this year is to travel more and have started fulfilling this goal already with our first trip of the year to Vero Beach. We spent this past weekend celebrating our close friends' Mer's birthday at Disney's Vero Beach Resort! What a stunning place to start off the new year! The decor around the whole hotel was stunning so nautical and clean, giving me perfect beach vibes! Although it's still pretty chilly here in FL we still hit the beach for a few minutes...in jeans...before dinner LOL! Never the less we still had a blast hanging out with our friends and venturing to a new place! Below you can find some of my looks from the weekend! Hope you all enjoy! Where are you traveling this year? Let me know!

Saturday during the day we played some mini golf and corn hole so of course it was a jeans and t-shirt kind of day. I kept it tropical with the lime green T and royal blue earrings since we were at the beach after all.

Saturday night we grabbed a few quick photos on the beach before heading out to dinner. Yes, it was so cold hence the jeans and sweater but you can't vacation at the beach and not go to the beach right?

Sunday before heading home we enjoyed some sunshine and the beautiful resort! Literally such a stunning place!
