Blush Pink Spring Look

Happy Wednesday Friends!

On Wednesdays we wear pink and I am so ready for spring and all the pastels! I’ve been living for this faux wrap dress from LC Lauren Conrad and I want it in every color! This dress is perfect for all body types with its fit and flare skirt and bubble sleeves it’s super flattering and fun for all seasons! It comes in several colors and is available at Kohl’s. This dress definitely runs true to size, if you’re curvier I recommend sizing up one, but I found my regular size large fit perfect!

I paired it with this Chanel dupe and LC Lauren Conrad block heels. This is a great look for Valentine’s, Easter, bridal showers, brunch, it’s a great dress to have in your closet! It can definitely be worn with some ballet flats and jean jacket or dressed up like this!

Pastels are classic for spring and you will be seeing a lot more pastels on the blog this season!

Icy Blue-LC Lauren Conrad 10 Year Anniversary Collection

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Another special holiday outfit for y’all from the LC Lauren Conrad 10 year anniversary collection! This icy blue combo is something different for me! Just like the previous outfit I don’t do a lot of sweaters paired with skirts but I’ve really been loving the combo! This beautiful ombre blue tulle skirt with the buffalo plaid sweater paired with the same glittery heels is great for Christmas and New Year’s! I absolutely love this shade of blue for winter!

The tulle is great for the holiday season and is something more fun and flirty for any social gathering! It’s a great length as well, super modest so don’t need to be worrying about your skirt all night! The sweater is great paired with anything and is again super soft and just so cozy! The heels go with everything, a staple for the holidays and all year long!

I hope you all have the best Christmas holiday with your loved ones! I have a special blog post coming this Saturday for my birthday! See you then!

Wedding Wednesday: Starting Christmas Traditions

Happy Wedding Wednesday Friends!

This is our last Christmas engaged and after 8 years together have yet to ever send a Christmas card out! I was determined this year to take Christmas card photos and send out a card! I love how every family has their own special holiday traditions and I wanted photos and a card to be one of ours. I think that once a year it is so important to get together dress up and take photos! Maybe it’s the blogger and photographer in me but I love photos and capturing moments! I think it’s super important and to print them too!

Anyway this year we started out tradition and took our first Christmas photos over at Rollins College, seriously one of the most beautiful places in Orlando! We went for more of a classic theme with simple black, white, and silver! I absolutely love architecture and greenery and this place encompassed that perfectly! We are sending out our cards this week from Minted and I already printed some photos for the apartment from Nation’s Photo Lab! Y’all print your photos and cherish the memories!

Happy 2 weeks till Christmas from the soon to be McGibbon’s xoxo

Perfect Green Jumpsuit

Happy Monday Everyone!

The blog schedule we be all over the place until the end of the year with the holidays fast approaching there are still several posts that I want to get up for y’all! That being said can we talk about this beautiful green jumpsuit from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. Florida temps are dropping but not to much and this is the perfect jumpsuit for the cooler days, especially paired with a denim jacket. I paired this with the black straw bag, y’all were obsessed with the spring/summer version of this bag that came in tan and other summer colors. I love the neutral shade to go with the snakeskin printed mules I think both shoes and bag complement the green jumper really well!

The jumpsuit it structured great with buttons and zipper at the front with the belted waist and puff sleeves give it something extra and makes it a more put together piece. Such a great piece to have in your closet, I could personally wear this to work, lunch, shopping out and about. I would recommend sizing up if you’re interested in the jumpsuit especially if you are curvier!

I definitely channeled my inner Blair Waldorf for this look with the pearl and velvet head band and the bold silver heel and silver bag, again a look great for holiday and year round whether going to the office or out to dinner this dress is a MUST HAVE!!!!

Random Rambles

Not much to share on the wedding front this week, i’m working on bridal shower thank you’s as well as preparing our formal invitations to be mailed out! Otherwise that’s about it right now!

This week I’m more just sharing some random rambles here on the blog…If you saw my Instagram post yesterday I was talking a lot about manifesting and creating your own success. I promised I would share more and I will but just a small bit I have been really working behind the scenes on truly creating the life I want to live! I have been manifesting, praying, and working towards some big goals and when things start to happen and take shape there is nothing better! Over the last few weeks I’ve seen some of that hard work pay off and gosh is it satisfying! There is still a lot of work to do and I believe everything will happen we it is supposed to, but it feels good knowing that hard work and trust in the process is paying off!

Also working on more budget and financial things lately, the price you pay to get married and really adult. I’ve always loved numbers and seeing what is possibly financially. We are considering the Dave Ramsey program to set us up for future endeavors and start this marriage off right. Have you used this program? Did it work for you?

Lastly moving. When the time is right we will be making a move, not far but closer to the water and my family. If you have followed me for a while you know that my heart is not here in Orlando. I moved here 7 years ago to finish school at UCF and to see where my relationship would go with Travis. 7 years later we are engaged about to be married, I graduated from one of the top schools in the county and am ready to move. Orlando is super busy and congested for a girl that grew up in a beach town, and hi where is the water?!?! You have to drive over an hour to get to the beach and soul can’t take it anymore. So dramatic I know but the truth. Orlando was never meant to be a permanent part of my story and it has severed a great purpose in my life, we have amazing friends here, great colleges, fun places to go but it’s not home, if that makes sense. I’ll share more with this journey as well as we go as right now we aren’t moving super soon.

Have a great rest of your week!

Wedding Update-86 Days Away

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

This week I wanted to share a wedding update with you and share the most recent things we’ve done and what we have lined up as we are in the home stretch, less than 3 months away, where did time go?!

2 weeks ago we went home to the venue for our tasting and to get a preview of our tables for the reception! It was better than I could’ve imagined the table was perfection! Out theme is very romantic and classic with blush, rose, and ivory tones with touched of rose gold and it was beautiful!

But let’s be honest one of the most important parts of a wedding is the food! What do you remember most about weddings you attend? The dress, the drinks, and the food hands down! So the food and drinks are super important to us, huge foodies here and I especially want people to remember that we had awesome food at our wedding! The tasting did not disappoint we tried several things that would be severed that day as we are doing stations and have tons of options so we tried something from each station basically, all AMAZING! Truly so good I can’t wait for everyone to eat up that day and enjoy themselves!

As for things we have coming up….I have my first dress fitting at the end of the month along with booking out hotel and making ceremony and music decisions are at the top of my list! We have our rings, attire, vendors, almost everything. We are just down to the small stuff now it’s all happening so fast!

I’ll keep you posted as we continue the process! Have a great rest of your week!

Must Have Wrap Dress

This post didn’t go live when it was supposed to originally so I wanted to make sure you all got to check out one of my favorite pieces for fall and basically all year long, is this wrap dress from Old Navy! They have new prints and colors for fall and I need them all!

I love the attention to detail on this dress, the fabric is non wrinkle and there is an extra clasp at the top to cover up as much as you prefer, a curvy girl’s dream because low cut dress are always an issue! This dress is perfect to wear anywhere whether it be to work or out for lunch it’s the most comfortable dress you will find! I highly recommend grabbing one as it would be great with a denim jacket and booties or how I wore here with a block sandal and clear bag! This dress is a definite yes!

I paired the dress with my favorite block sandals from Old Navy that y’all have seen several times along with a clear bag from Amazon that I’ve loved for a while! Make sure to check them out!

Fall Season with London Times

I’ve teamed up with London Times to share a few pieces from their October collection and let me just tell you I’m obsessed! First off is a jumpsuit and y’all know I LOVE a good jumpsuit! You’ve been seeing quite a few of them here on the blog recently and they are here to stay! Just like a dress I love that a jumpsuit is a complete outfit, one piece and done! The Lu Jumpsuit in Navy is the most perfect outfit for fall and even going into the holidays! It’s super well made, double lined and has this beautiful metallic threading throughout to give it a little shine. Seriously so beautiful, I especially love the cut and style with pockets, belted waist, and perfect neckline! This is a timeless piece that you will wear over and over again! I paired it will a cranberry velvet bag and a light gold kitten heel as this is definitely something I could wear from office out to happy hour or shopping! A must have, check it out below!

Second look I want to share with y’all is the Anika Dress in Eggplant. This dress is perfect for all year long, the color is one of my favorites and one I especially love for Fall and Winter Season. I love the details on the cuffs of the sleeves as well as the different sheer fabric used for the sleeves along with the gathering to define a shape! I think the cut is so flattering for any body type as it is fitted and then floats away from the body helping emphasis an hourglass figure, what woman doesn’t love that! I dressed up this look with a metallic clutch and white heels with silver accents to go with the silver embellishment on the sleeves! Such a great dress, again another timeless piece that you will wear over and over again! Check it out!

Bachelorette Weekend Recap & Mini SRQ Travel Guide

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

This week we are talking everything bachelorette party weekend! I chose to have my bachelorette party in Sarasota, are you surprised? Let’s be honest I’m a Sarasota girl through and through and I had to have my bachelorette weekend at the beach, no place I rather be than here! This post is about the weekend but also a mini travel guide for some fun things to do if you are ever in Sarasota!

First off my girls killed it with the hotel and the decor for the weekend! We stayed at The Sarasota Modern, and it was an instagrammer’s dream, everything was beautfiul and picture perfect and I can’t wait to go back! My party was tropical themed so everything banana leaf and pineapple which I’ll share below with all my favorite treats to munch on over the weekend!

A must while in SRQ is to hit Selva Grill especially for Happy Hour! They have my ALL TIME FAVORITE Cesar Salad and the drinks are amazing too! *Word to the wise get there earlier, it’s a poppin spot* We also hit some bars on Main, which I can’t attest to much as I’m not a bar girl so we didn’t stay long, but we did have a celeb sighting at one of the bars, see if you can’t guess who it it below :)

We also of course hit Daquiri Deck on Siesta Key and had to take a photo at the beach because what is a trip to Sarasota if you didn’t go to the beach, right?! Highly recommend checking out the Daquiri Deck if you’ve never been, it’s a staple in town, especially if you’re going for a beach trip! They have great drinks of course and the food if yummy too!

Lastly we only hit one local breakfast spot, but if you’re ever in town make sure to stop at Station 400 they have amazing breakfast and lunch and the food is out of this world. The whole vibe of the downtown location is just like a train station, it’s the cutest! Highly recommend!

Sharing some snaps from the weekend below and will have a fun photoshoot from the weekend coming soon! We are 4 months away, next stop bridal shower!
