Eyelet Dress

Monday, April 7, 2014


Eyelet Dress: Thrifted
Big Star Jacket: Thrifted
Sandals: Forever 21 (online here)







I had been itching to wear this eyelet dress since I got it. When the temperatures reached the high 70's, I knew it would be the perfect outfit for a sunny day. Eyelet dresses just scream spring to me and I do love a good white dress. And how amazing are these sandals I'm wearing?!  I ordered them from Forever 21 and after them shipping me the wrong shoes, then the wrong size, I finally got my hands on them almost a month later. And I must say, they were totally worth the wait! The heel isn't too tall, so I can wear them with shorts and a slouchy t-shirt later this summer for a relaxed look. 

Thank you for reading!

Here's some more budget-friendly eyelet dresses that are perfect for spring:

Metallic Speckles

Saturday, March 1, 2014


Scarf: Thrifted ($4.99) (currently sold at Target)
Olive & Oak Sweater: Thrifted ($4.99)
Joe's Jeans: ThredUp
Elizabeth & James Booties: Poshmark 
Rebecca Minkoff Bag: Plato's Closet








I scored big time at the thrift store this week; I guess there will be another haul in the future! This sweater and scarf were both purchased and I've already worn both multiple times. The sweater is splattered with silver metallic paint-which I absolutely love! I saw the scarf is actually being sold at Target now, so I was able to get it brand new at the thrift store for a fraction of the price.Yes!

Yesterday marked week 31 in my pregnancy and tomorrow will be 2 months until my due date. Time has seriously flown by and I know our little man will be here before we know it!
I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I have a baby shower tomorrow that I'm beyond excited for :)

Thank you for reading!


Over The Knee

Tuesday, December 17, 2013


Matty M Blouse: Thrifted ($4.99)
Rich & Skinny Jeans: Plato's Closet
DaniBlack Boots: TJMaxx
Bag: TJMaxx






I love dressing up, but somedays I opt for cozier outfits. Yesterday was one of those days! 
I scored this blouse from the thrift store with the Nordstrom Rack tags still attached! I wanted to wear my over-the-knee boots that I got last year and decided that pairing it with a breezy blouse was the way to go. It was a chic outfit for a day full of errands.

Friday marked 20 weeks in my pregnancy. I feel so blessed.
 I've been reading through comments (and doing my best to respond!) and feel so thankful for all the positive words. I appreciate you all. I know I have some expecting readers, so if you're looking for any outfit ideas, please let me know! I am now aware of how difficult it can be to not only dress for occasions, but for everyday! Let me know if you're interested in any specific outfit posts :)

Leather Pants

Saturday, December 7, 2013


Willow & Clay Jacket - c/o Marshalls
Blouse - c/o Marshalls
Genetic Leather Pants - c/o Marshalls
Studded Heels - Marshalls
Necklace - Thrifted









When my sister found out I was pregnant, she scoured the internet looking for maternity leather pants. My mom laughed when she heard, but Giulianna was spot on! The one item I really wanted was a pair of leather pants I could wear this winter. My other ones are high-waisted and we all know that's not gonna happen with this bump! 
I was at Marshalls looking for an outfit for my date night and found these lovely pants on the clearance rack. I was crazy about the zippered details and how insanely comfortable they were. I found a tweed jacket to add a feminine touch to the outfit and some studded heels to finish the look. 
Marshalls was so gracious to send my husband and I on a date night. You better believe I chose the one restaurant that had fried pickles. It was like a pregnant woman's dream, at least for me :)

Nick's food choice- a cheeseburger with a fried egg and PB&J.
For a second I thought he was the pregnant one.

Fried pickles!


Thank you to Marshalls for the amazing date night and an equally amazing outfit!

Leopard & Chambray

Tuesday, December 3, 2013


Chambray: Plato's Closet ($6)
Current/Elliott Jeans: Plato's Closet
Booties: Target ($20)
Oryany Bag: TJMaxx









I have finally found a chambray shirt! 
I've been wanting one for forever, and discovered the perfect one while shopping at, you guessed it, Plato's Closet! It was only $6 and I've already made it a staple in my closet. I haven't paired denim and denim with it yet, so I decided printed jeans were the way to go. And since leopard is always one of my favorite prints, this outfit came together in a matter of seconds!

Did anyone go black friday shopping? 
I made plans with my mom, but we both decided we were too full from Thanksgiving and tired to go. We went mid-day on Friday and I was amazed by Target's deals. Forget big screen TVs and fancy headphones! They had 40% off all shoes, clothing, and accessories. I picked up these boots that are perfect for rainy days or dressing up simple outfits. I love that the heel isn't too tall and that the fabric used won't get ruined if it rains. Definitely worth the $20 price tag!

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday and had many things to be thankful for!
Thank you so much for reading and don't forget to enter my giveaway for a pair of Cushe boots.

Cushe Boots

Tuesday, November 26, 2013


Manuka Lite Desert Boots - c/o Cushe Footwear
Jacket - Thrifted/DIY
Neon Knit - H&M
Joe's Jeans - ThredUp ($16)







I love being outdoors and enjoying sunset walks with my husband. The one thing I don't love is trying to find comfortable shoes that are still fashionable. I mean, I could wear running shoes, but I don't like to wear them when I'm not wearing work out clothing. When I found out about Cushe Footwear, I felt like I hit the mother load! They had so many stylish shoes to choose from, my favorite was the pair I ended up picking out- The Manuka Lite Desert. They're super light-weight and constructed beautifully. The sole is thick so I don't feel rocks or anything through the bottom, which tends to be the case with stylish walking shoes. And HELLO, they're seriously so cute! They had a few colors to choose from for this style of shoe; I had such a hard time deciding between the wine and charcoal, but I'm glad I picked the charcoal!  Another fun bonus was the inside is covered in neon flowers. 

I decided to play up the colors in the shoe by wearing a neon knit, dark jeans, and a jackets that I embellished with tribal fabric. The jacket is actually a recent DIY, so let me know if you're interested in me posting a tutorial. Stay tuned for a chance to win a pair of these amazing shoes! 
They're the perfect comfy shoe for winter adventures.

Thank you so much for reading!


* another important component to sunset walks would be a delicious warm drink. 
My drink of choice was a decaf latte. Yum!
