Travel Wear with Marshalls

Free People Bomber, T-shirt & Jeans - c/o Marshalls

BCBG Booties - Thrifted

With the holidays right around the corner, traveling is something we do often. Whether we're flying or driving, one thing I know for sure is that comfort is key. 

There are a few must haves for my traveling attire

Layers - Layers are a great way to accessorize your look, but also prepare you for whatever weather you will arrive in. You can either take off a jacket or add a scarf. Simple!

Stretchy Jeans - I've never been a big fan of yoga pants or leggings for my outfits. Not sure why, but I usually gravitate towards jeans- even for long car rides, so jeans with some stretch make that easy.

Soft T-shirts - I mean t-shirts in general are nice, but I love a good worn in shirt. I got this one at Marshalls and it's seriously the perfect slouchy shirt. Another great part about t-shirts is that they can just be thrown in the wash, I don't have to worry about wrinkles or stains from Uriah. 

Slip-on Shoes - This is especially handy when flying. I made the mistake of wearing oxfords for my last flight and immediately regretted it when I got to security. Plus, sometimes in long car rides it's nice to slip off your shoes and have on cozy socks.

Sunglasses - Let's be honest, traveling in makeup is no fun. And as much as I love going makeup free, I do have some bags under my eyes that are nice to cover up with some shades. 

Those are a few of my favorite traveling essentials. 

Right now Marshalls has a killer selection of traveling gear and clothing- perfect timing for your holiday trips. I've partnered with Marshalls to giveaway a $25 gift card to get something cozy for your upcoming adventures.

It Works by Ali

Hey everyone! I've been taking a bit of a break and enjoying my first few weeks as a mom. Time has flown by. I can't believe he's already 2 weeks old! 

We're so blessed and thankful for our newest addition.

Today I'm sharing about some new products I was introduced to by Ali. When I left the hospital, one of the first things I noticed was how dry my skin was. I used all the same products I normally use, but for some reason my skin was extra thirsty. Now that the weather is getting hotter and dryer, I wanted to start my summer off with hydrated and refreshed skin. Thanks to Ali, I'm using a facial treatment and wraps to get my skin and body ready for this warm weather. I'll be sharing my results with you all here! And lucky for you, one reader will also get a chance to try these amazing products. 

Ali is guest posting today to share about this awesome line. 

Take it away!

We all have that “trouble” area – that part of our bodies that no matter how many push-ups, sit-ups, squats or spray tans we do, it just won’t GO AWAY!! This was exactly my experience…I played collegiate basketball and working out 6 days a week for 2+ hours could not solve the cellulite issue on my booty/thighs. I was frustrated and didn’t feel comfortable in shorts or a bathing suit…NOT ok considering summer was just around the corner. 

In strolls my best friend Ashlee & this CRAZY WRAP THING. 

Ashlee wrapped me and gave me some Defining Gel. No matter how skeptical I was (and I was REALLY skeptical) I was willing to try anything at this point. You know what they saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words?” Well, here’s mine…

This botanically based wrap tones, tightens and firms and also helps with cellulite, stretch marks, veins and scars. Can you relate to any of these? 

The moment I saw my before and after pictures, I knew this was the product for me – then I found out that the results actually LAST 4-6 months per wrap. Everything I have learned since has been icing on the cake. I am so passionate about these products and what they can do for people – inside and out! With that said, I want to tell you about a few of my favorite products…

This supplement (taken once daily) contains a nourishing complex and is working wonders! HSN enhances your own natural collagen and keratin production, supports healthy cell growth, and boosts your body’s free radical fighting defenses. 

I use defining gel everyday. I use it morning and night on my legs and butt for cellulite. Defining Gel is an intensive skin care gel that deeply hydrates while firming areas such as the abdomen, back, legs, and upper arms. When used regularly, Defining Gel minimizes the appearance of cellulite and varicose veins. 

With the weather changing, it’s no doubt that the fragile skin on our faces needs some extra love. Our deep hydration mask does just that – balance the ph of your skin, soothes and softens the look of fine lines while continuously hydrating and improving skin tone for a more glowing, beautiful you! 

Overall, we are so much more than wraps. You can check out the full product line HERE

GIVEAWAY time!!  

Ali and I have collaborated to bring one of you some of these awesome products! She is giving away a free wrap or facial, mini defining gel, greens on the go, and it's all packaged in a cute mason gar vase.

Stella & Dot Giveaway

Top: Target

Blazer: Thrifted

Jeans: ℅ Marshalls

BCBG Heels: ℅ Marshalls

Necklace & Earrings: ℅ Stella & Dot

With spring finally here, Stella & Dot has some amazing new arrivals that are perfect for jazzing up any outfit! I was practically drooling over all the spring accessories. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

Elodie Necklace

   Aviva Chandeliers                                          Frida Necklace

I know I'll be wearing more basics once the baby arrives, so this will be a great way to dress up a simple t-shirt. Pictured above I'm wearing the Somervell Necklace in gold and the Nancy Studs. Both items are such timeless pieces and I know they will get a lot of wear! One thing I especially love about the earrings is that the post isn't in the middle. I got my ears pierced at Walmart when I turned 10- needless to say, they're a bit crooked. The only earrings I can wear are ones that have the post on the bottom, so these are perfect!

Jamie (Stella & Dot Stylist) and I have collaborated to give one lucky reader a pair of the Nancy Studs! These gorgeous studs will become a wardrobe essential! They're the perfect item to add just a little glam to any outfit. Plus, the gold accents are killer!

Navy Feather Vest

Feather Vest: Ross ($19)

Lavender Blouse: Forever 21

J Brand Jeans: Thrifted ($4.99)

Sam Edelman Wedges: Marshalls

Necklace: Forever 21

I’ve been crazy about fur vests this season, so I was very excited when I found this feather vest. It’s not the typical fur vest and that’s why I was drawn to it. There is something so glamorous about feathers and the navy blue color was an added bonus. I paired it with my favorite color-lavender. Lavender and navy make such a beautiful pairing; I couldn’t resist putting these pieces together. I added some suede booties, a pretty statement necklace, and cuffed jeans for a fancier, everyday look.

Speaking of statement necklaces- don't forget to enter my statement necklace giveaway!
