T-Shirt Shop Series Take 2: Look 2

In case you haven't noticed pineapples are still a huge trend and this look embodies the pineapple and foiled trends that are currently happening. In the last T-Shirt Shop Series I brought you another pineapple look that was more bold, unlike this one that is more toned down. This has been one of my go to looks this summer especially on Sundays when I'm running around doing errands. You can't get more simple than jeans and T-shirt like I've said many times before but it's true and throw on a hat and it's the ultimate laid back look perfect for busy days! Like always pieces will be linked below and let me know if you love pineapples or a different current trend!

For hair care this month, I've been loving this shampoo and conditioner combo from Garnier! My hair has never felt so healthy and smooth. The scent is amazing and the products leave your hair so shiny and smelling like coconut, not to mention these are affordable and can be found at Target and several other retailers. Shop these below!

For skin care these have been my go to products lately! My skin is super sensitive so all these products are super gentle on the skin and constantly in reach. I use the cleanser, micellar water, and mosturizer everyday and change up the other products depending what my skin needs. Again super affordable products that are easy to find and are linking below for you!

Next these two have been some of my favorite body products this month! I'm obsessed with the shea sugar scrub to exfoliate the skin! As well as the bath and body works ultra shea body cream in practically any scent. I have 3 of them all over the house, they are so creamy and luxurious, they are a must have!

As for some of my favorites in the makeup department these are the stand outs this month! Colourpop has been killing it launching tons of new products so they are in here with a few things this month! I've been living for their setting and priming sprays, I can not do my makeup without them! Also the highlight palette is like no other and the price is right for 6 highlights! Next up for eyes I'm obsessed with the Jaclyn Hill Palette from Morphe! Jaclyn killed it with these shadows, its the one palette you need in your collection! My favorite blush this month has been the Kylie Cosmetics blush in the shade Barely Legal, it's the perfect tone for summer and will take me into fall, I love it! Finally these mascaras have been the best and the combo is everything you want! L'oreal's Lash Paradise is perfection for everyday, it gives you the perfect lashes. For a little bit something extra I use the Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara it gives you something more and is perfect for lengthening those lashes! 

I highly recommend checking out reviews.com list of best mascaras HERE, this will help you find a mascara that is right for you!

T-Shirt Shop Series Take 2: Look 1

You all loved the T-shirt Shop Series earlier this year and asked me to bring it back, so here it is! Summer is coming to a close but let's face it here in Florida I'll be wearing T-shirts for a few more months as the temps are still high. I recently visited my hometown of Sarasota, FL and while I was there we made a trip to The Ringling Museum. **Side not if you have never been definitely make a trip and visit this museum, it's one of my favorite places in SRQ and the art is unreal!** Anyways back to our look, the museum is huge and has several different parts both inside and outside, regardless you do a lot of walking. Lots of walking calls for a cute and comfortable outfit especially when outside in the heat. So of course my go to was a cute T and some denim shorts and printed sneakers all from my favorite, Old Navy. The museum is on the water so my t-shirt has a fun saying on it to give the outfit something fun! I will link everything below for you guys! Let me know what your current favorite t-shirts are and where you like to shop!

3 Inexpensive Ways to Redecorate

Do you ever get bored with your decor? I am always looking for easy and inexpensive ways to change up the look of my apartment without breaking the bank! I'm giving you my three go to's when it comes to changing up the look of my home.

First way to change up your space is with new artwork! This is super easy as there are tons of sites now that offer inexpensive art prints and posters that you can frame with different and unique frames to give the look dimension. Other fun things can be used to display such as maps of cities you love or even your own photography printed in a fun way! These things will make your space different and unique and how easy is it to just change out photos and prints?! Some of my favorite sites are Society6 for artprints, Modern Map Art for maps, and Parabo Press & Nations Photo Lab for prints of your own work!

Another great way to change up your surroundings is by changing your throw pillows, whether it be on your bed or on the couch, changing the pillows can make a big difference. Changing out your throw pillows doesn't have to cost you much either. Several places including Target and Ikea offer inexpensive pillow covers, making it easy to change out your look by simply changing out the pillow cover, without buying tons of different pillows. 

One more thing to change your space is change your accessories. This could be putting a cute  stack of books on the coffee table our a cute vase of flowers on the kitchen table. Something simple can make all the difference, making your space different and inviting. Add fun touches that speak to your personality! I love tropical prints and pineapples right now so I might add elements like that in my home. Express your personality with this one! I love going to TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Marshall's for things like this! 

Let me know your favorite ways to change up the look of your home in the comments below!

Summer Lovin'

With the official end of summer only a few weeks away of course we are hitting the beach and pool as much as we can! Even though we live in Florida and the summer heat will continue for a few more months for us our state will soon be home to the snowbirds and part time Floridians again, not just us locals. 

We ran away to my hometown a few weekends ago for a special post I'm in the process of creating and hit Longboat Key Saturday evening for golden hour. The heat was worth it for the view at the end of the beach with some beautiful breeze and driftwood! Sarasota as most of you know holds a special place in my heart, it's my hometown. Even though it is not my current zipcode, it is my favorite place and where I truly feel at home. I am someone that needs to live by water, not hours but minutes away. Water and the beach really feed my soul and put me at peace like nothing else.

Needless to say this was one of my favorite places to shoot and the look is exactly, me just a cute top and jeans on the beach, there is no place I rather be. I wanted to give you all a fun summer look that still keeps our summer vibes with color as well as relaxed with the ripped jeans, very Florida. I hope you love it!

Where do you call home, and why do you love it?

Sunday Funday consisted of the Dodgers vs. Marlins game! We were representing the LA Dodgers! Go Dodgers go! The last time I went to a baseball game I'm pretty sure I was 10 and had no idea what the point of this game was! Needless to say I still don't understand all the rules but it was really cool to be pretty close to the field and watch the game! You can't go wrong with a hot dog and a baseball game on a Sunday, right?! It was a pretty cool and fun experience! My outfit was a pretty standard comfortable and blue of course pairing to represent our team that of course WON! Shop my look below!

Again like our St. Pete trip I'll take you on a play by play of our trip! Hope you all enjoy and please let me know if you enjoy these travel blogs!

We got to Daytona Beach around 5:30 pm on Friday and immediately grabbed some food to take back to the hotel. We grabbed some pizza at this sweet little Italian restaurant called, Rossellini's. This place is located super close to the beach and had some super delicious pizza at an amazing price! I highly recommend if you are in the mood for some authentic Italian food and pizza while out in Daytona hit up this yummy restaurant. After dinner and hanging out a bit in the hotel we walked down to the pool area and hung out. My favorite part about this hotel is you walk out to the pool and then just walk right onto the beach, so convenient and easy!

We were able to grab free hotel breakfast that morning and oh was it good! Then walked out to the beach and spent most of our day out there! We really just relaxed and had a great time. We grabbed some quick Subway sandwiches to hold us over till dinner later and hit the pool right after that! Below is my outfit for Saturday and the details!
