How cute are these accessories from Ankit?! The mint and pink headphones are right up my alley with the pretty florals and beautiful color combo. I've been using them lately to listen to some music when I'm relaxing at night or when Ava is taking a nap. I've actually been wanting a pair like these since I only have the ear bud style, which end up hurting after a while. These are comfortable and stylish to boot! The blue fields iPhone case is seriously cute. As I mentioned in this post, I love how it's clear and allows the gold from the back of my phone to show though. The blue and gold combo is stunning! The pretty dress fund jar is one of those pieces that make you smile each time you see it. Who can resist metallic gold polka dots?! Saving your money never looked so good ;)

Happy Monday, friends! It's that time of year when guys and dolls start thinking about what to wear to their spring formal or prom. Planning for my own prom was stressful enough and I made sure to have enough time to get all of the details figured out. What style of dress did I want? What color and length? How did I want my hair to look? What type of shoes should I wear? This was the one night I would be able to get all dressed up and feel like a princess heading to a ball. I remember how excited and nervous I was at the same time. I had a blast dancing with my date and some of my friends, while also snapping some photos to capture the memories. It is funny to look back at the photos though haha. I was blown away at how different I look and how much my style has changed. Unfortunately, I do not have a full length photo of the dress. I do have one somewhere in an album at my parents house, but not one saved on my hard drive. It was actually my favorite part because of how flowy it was. Make sure to check out some throwback photos below!

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely wear this dress.  The detailing is exquisite and the full tulle skirt is the stuff that dreams are made of (extra points if you can tell me what movie that line is from!) The top has a soft blush hue with pink sequins and a sexy little cut out hole in the back. That's another reason why I'm so in love with this dress. It's modest, yet has an alluring back and some of the most beautiful detailing I've seen. No lie when I say that this is one of my most favorite dresses that I own. I wanted to wear my hair up for this look because of the back, but usually for every dance I would leave my hair down and curled.

Happy Friday, loves! The temperature these past couple of days has been in the 70s, which feels absolutely incredible. As soon as the weather starts getting warmer, I pull out all of my dresses and start dreaming of all the ways I'll be able to wear them. This dress from Unique Vintage has the prettiest floral pattern and the perfect billowing skirt. I'm wearing an xs for reference. I adore the vintage styling and the fact that it has pockets! Another great feature, the side boning is flexible, which allowes me to actually be able to breathe haha. I've never seen that in a dress before and now I totally believe they should all have it. Removable straps are included if you do not like the strapless look. Vintage dresses are actually a favorite of mine since the 1950s is where I draw so much of my inspiration from. I cannot help but swoon every time I put one on. This dress has all of my vintage fashion fantasies coming true!

Can we also take a second to look at the pretty accessories?! I'm a big believer in the details adding up to make the outfit. These stud earrings will literally glam up any outfit your pair them with while still having a classic feel behind them. The crystal necklace is a pink lovers dream. It's beautifully crafted and oh my, the sparkle makes me weak in the knees! My mom gave me a similar necklace, with a smaller pendant, to wear for my senior prom so I could not help but reminisce about that while wearing this. Lastly, the cuff bracelet with a marbled blue stone and clear crystal gives has those summer time vibes. I can definitely see myself wearing this all summer long!

This dress was on my wishlist for quite some time before I actually got it. I'm completely swooning over it too! What a knock out piece. Even my husband, when he walked in the house, said "wow, you look amazing in that dress!" This comes from a man who barely notices whatI wear haha. I would say it runs a little bit small. I'm wearing a size small and it is a bit snug, but not enough for me to order a size up. White the dress looks like its see through, there is a mesh layer underneath that is a nude color. The detailing on this dress is exquisite. I really did not want to take it off. It's lightweight and a great option for a night out on the town.

Let me start off by saying I am completely obsessed with this outfit. It has those cool girl vibes with a relaxed yet polished look. The details of this skirt are too cute! I think we could all use some good vibrations in our lives too. The sweater (I'm in a size small) has a relaxed fit and feels ever so cozy to be in. It's lighter and perfect for the upcoming months. The faux feather skirt (wearing a size x-small) is a beautiful statement piece and is under $15. Literally a steal! The teardrop earrings have a fun appeal and are inspired by sorbet colors. These are obviously white, but I have a pink and teal color too that are so pretty. Check out some more styles here. I also recently got this iPhone case from Anktit with pretty blue painted flowers on the back. They're so vibrant and really stand out. I love that it's see through so the gold back of my phone shows through too. The blue and gold look stunning together!

We've been having AMAZING weather this week! It's supposed to last a few more days so I'm taking advantage and being outside as much as I can. I've been taking Ava for long walks at the state park while also running some every day errands or taking nice drives around sunset with her. Today, before our walk, I picked up some spring inspired cookies and dropped them off at my dad's office to say hello to everyone. Spring is in the air and I could not be more excited!

As I mentioned yesterday, my dad, Ava, and I all went antiquing on Saturday to our favorite spot and got some goodies while we were there. This is the outfit I wore since the weather was just starting to change over to getting warm, but not quite there yet haha. The red slouchy sweater felt absolutely amazing and kept me so warm, even without a coat. The only thing is the sleeves are on the bigger side and would completely cover my hands if I didn't push them up. When the wind picked up, I was ok with that, but otherwise, they can get in the way. I knew I wanted a monochromatic look to really stand out and chose this red flared skirt to match. I love the cute little floral cutouts on it. They add a nice unique detail. Check the end of the post for some extra photos at the antique mall.

Happy Monday, friends! How was everyone's weekends? If you follow me on instagram, then you saw that I went antiquing with my dad and Ava on Saturday. We had so much fun and even found a few goodies. I'm always on the hunt for vintage tea cups and anything John F. Kennedy. Sometimes, I'll find some old aprons or vintage hats that are still in good condition and scoop those up too. Sunday was the final episode of Downton Abby. It was spectacular and incredibly well done. I am going to miss our Downton parties though!

Now, onto this simple outfit that packs a mighty punch. Saying that this outfit is simple can be a little misleading, but at the most basic, it is a top, jeans, and heels. Where the punch comes into the play is with the details. The vertical stripes and tie neck have a bold, yet feminine flair, while the bright fuchsia pumps brilliantly pop and have fun on trend lace ups. Adding in the leopard clutch throws another print into the mix to spice things up.

Another little detail is the MyIntent bracelet. Mine says "inspire." Big name celebrities such as Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Larry King, Rhinna and Kayne have all been photographed wearing them. Kayne famously wore his on the cover of Time magazine. MyIntent's mission is to be a catalyst for meaningful conversation and energy in the world. I chose my word of intent to be "inspire" since I hope to inspire each and every one of you here on my blog. I started this blog in the hopes of inspiring individuals through fashion and style. The person I hope to inspire most in my life is Ava. As she grows, I want to be able to inspire her to be the best she can be and to enjoy all the beauty life has to offer. If you were to choose one word as a daily reminder of something you want more of in your life or a challenge you want to overcome - what would it be?

Yay for Friday! For 2016, Pantone chose serenity blue and rose quartz as its colors of the year. Blue and pink have always been my most favorite color combination, so needless to say, I was pretty happy about that. I used the Pantone colors as inspiration for this outfit. I love the cool soft blues of the dress mixed with the rose gold accents. Not only did the color and intricate lace detail of the dress get me, but the cute collar absolutely sold me. I'm wearing an xs for reference. How perfect are these colors for spring too?!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I always like to "frost myself" with some bling to elevate all of my outfits. You can turn a casual look into a glam one just by adding a few pieces of jewelry. All of the jewelry I have on, which I am completely drooling over, is from Tera Bass's Boutique through Chloe and Isabel. You can visit her site at the link below, or click any of the links to the jewelry. She is a second grade teacher by day and a fashion loving jewelry merchandiser by night.

I've been having a huge case of spring fever lately. Whenever the weather cooperates, I break out all of my spring gear and feel fresh as a daisy. I love the bright aquamarine color of this swing top mixed with a white skirt. It really pops and adds a feeling of lighthearted fun. I've worn these rose gold ear crawlers with a few other outfits and cannot get enough of them! I'm always crushing on rose gold, especially during the spring and summer. Is anyone else excited to bring out their sun hats?! I love wearing hats and cannot wait to rock them again.

There's nothing like cozying up in a comfy sweater during the transitional months. The weather has been all over the place lately. It's warm for a few days, snows the next, followed by rain and cold, then warm again. Haha, I just try to go with the flow. I love how the blue and purple sequins elevate this gray sweater to anything but boring. Even the little fringe detailing outlining the sequins gives this a nice flair. I wore this out for our walk on Sunday and felt so comfortable, yet stylish. I'm wearing a size XS for reference. Another way to elevate an outfit is by adding some jewelry. I always think of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days where Matthew McConaughey says "frost yourselves." Jewelry really is the frosting on the outfit cake! This art deco bracelet and stack able rings give the casual look some added polish. I'll be talking more specifically about these pieces, and some others, in a post later this week.

Happy March, everyone! Wow, the year is flying by. I feel like I was just clinking my glass of champagne to welcome in 2016 and now we're already into the third month. Did anyone do anything special for leap day yesterday? I spent the afternoon with my dad and Ava. We went for a walk and some ice cream before taking a ride. For whatever reason, Ava did NOT want to nap and the ride was the only way to get her to take a quick snooze haha.

Chambray is my go-to for a laid back yet classic look. There are so many ways to style it ranging from classy in heels and pearls to causally relaxing like I have above in some booties and a fun printed scarf. One of my new favorite ways to style a belt is to knot it myself. This way, I know it will fit me great and it looks effortless. This Humble Chic dress has the belt included, win-win! This light weight zebra print scarf is a great addition to your spring wardrobe for layering and creating unique looks. The black and white print is always on trend and never goes out of style. Plus, how cute are the zebra's?! Keeping with the same color as the belt, I added this cross body bag from Lany. It's the perfect bag to carry you from the work day to the weekend with ease. Can we just take a moment to look at that cute little bow on top (insert heart eyes emoji.)

Don't forget you can receive 15% off of your Humble Chic order withe the code LIKEIT. They're one of my new favorite brands. They're totally affordable and a great way to update your closet from classic staples to on trend pieces.

Happy Monday, friends! Wow, last night was amazing! Of course, as you know, I was rooting for Leo to win the Oscar, as many of you were also!, AND HE DID!!!!! Oh my goodness, I literally screamed when he won haha. I could not be happier for him. What an absolute class act he is too. His speech was perfection and he looked flawless. Twitter went insane when he won and I was included in that. I live tweet the Oscars every year and boy, was my heart beating a million miles a minute before the best actor was called. Congrats to you Leo and to all of the Oscar winners.

So in other news haha, this past Sunday was wonderfully warm outside. I'm talking spring time you do not need a jacket kind of warm. It felt heavenly. It does seem to be incredibly windy though, which you can see in the pictures above. It whips my hair around like crazy. I'll take the wind if we can keep the warmth!

I'm so in love with this outfit. It has so many of my favorite elements in it. A nautical top, a colorful print skirt (obsessed), and a classic gold necklace. The skirt is from Mindy Mae's Market and reminds me of sipping tropical drinks on a beach while relaxing to the calming sound of the waves crashing against the sand. ~Sigh~ 

Today, I also wanted to talk about an amazing company called Socialite Pink. It is an online jewelry boutique that specializes in "sparklegiving" -giving what you have to brighten someone's day. Their passion is to bring women together to experience the joy of giving back and spreading kindness. Through their boutique, they have a "sparkle you, sparkle her" program where they donate a piece of jewelry to a woman-overcomer for every piece purchased. I'm all about supporting women and can definitely get behind their message. I'm wearing one of Socialite Pink's new creations called the Endless Pendant. It can be worn 4 ways, which is pretty awesome. It's like getting 4 pieces for the price of 1! The tassel pendant is also a huge trend right now. I'll be holding an instagram giveaway for the retail price of my necklace ($79). Make sure to check it out!

Also, here is a discount code for Socialite Pink's online boutique: PINKHAPPY20. This offer is good until March 16.

Happy Friday, dear friends! I wanted to thank everyone for your condolences and kind words about Chelsea. I read every single comment as they've been coming in and it means so much to me to know what great friends I have. I cried after reading all of them, that's how touching they all were. Does anyone have any weekend plans yet? All I know is that I'm watching the Oscars and crossing my fingers for my favorites to win!

Black, white, and red is one of those color combos that will forever remain classic. This shirt dress is perfect for the transitioning season ahead and is on trend with its gingham check print. It even comes with a belt! I'm always a big fan of pieces that come with added accessories. I paired this dress with a turtleneck underneath since it was a bit chilly outside. I added a check print coat as well due to the biting wind whipping around that day. This is a great layered way to wear the dress now while the weather is still on the colder side. Once spring hits, you can wear this dress by itself with some simple sandals or flats with a bright pop of color. How cute is the delicate T ring?! It can be worn alone or stacked with other delicate rings.

I finally got to see The Revenant last night and wow! What a performance by Leo! I really enjoyed the movie and though it was on the longer side, I still was wondering what was going to happen next. Leo deserves this Oscar hands down. I will be so upset if he does not win haha. I also got to see The Maltese Falcon and loved that. Surprisingly, or not, the theater is always packed for the classics I go to see. It's awesome to know there are others out there that love the old movies as much as I do.

Blue and blush are one of my favorite color combinations. They pair amazingly well together. This shade of blue was what I chose for my brides maids to wear too. Even the Pantone colors of the year are shades of blue and pink together. I love this dress for a going out look. The material is a light silky chiffon, which would feel wonderful in the spring and summer months coming up. These rose gold ear crawlers are absolutely gorgeous. The delicate flower and leaf design is reminiscent of the beautiful blooms to soon start springing up. They're great for everyday use and pair especially well with the royal blue dress. Lastly, the fringe tassel necklace. You already know I have a thing for fringe! This necklace is right in between a statement and delicate piece making it fabulous for just about every occasion. It's a fun take on the trend with its art deco inspired tassel pendant and sparkling beads.

Happy Wednesday! I actually have the day to myself today. Justin took this week off and is watching Ava for me so I can have a little me time haha. The one thing I love to do, and cannot with Ava, is go to the movies. I'll be seeing The Revenant (I'm excited since everyone said they liked it here!) and the classic movie The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart. The weather is rain and a frozen mix for the whole day so unfortunately, no outdoor activities. I'm fine with that since the movies and shopping are all indoors!

Now, onto this spriny outfit! I really wish the sun was shining when I was photographing this. It's one of those outfits that would look marvelous with a golden glow. The skirt is so easy breezy beautiful and has me dreaming of warmer weather, flowers, and sunshine. It reminds me of the cherry blossoms blooming, which is my favorite part about spring! I stayed with pink hues and felt oh so ladylike. I ordered a size medium in the skirt based on the size guide, but felt it was slightly too big. I definitely could have gotten away with the small.

Quick question, does anyone watch the show Lucifer on Fox? I've been hooked on it ever since it aired! Just wondering if there are any other fans out there!

This look nods to the formal tux with a feminine spin and of course a little bit of sparkle for that special night out. I'm head over heels for this gold jacket too! It can be dressed down with some jeans or worn with a fit a flare dress for some added posh. I'm wearing an XS for reference. It's only $23.99 too. It makes a great statement piece so make sure to keep the rest of the outfit neutral.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We had some amazing weather that I wish would last into the spring. It ended up being in the high 50s, which had everyone coming out of the woodwork to enjoy the outdoors. I took Ava on so many walks so she could breathe in the fresh air. We all took a nice walk at the state park on Saturday and then on Sunday my dad and I took Ava over the a nearby farm to look at the animals and get some ice cream.

Speaking of the fabulous weekend, I sported this casual chic look that is completely comfy and great for walking around. I love the layering with the chambray shirt, striped tee, and jean jacket. This striped tee from Everly is soft and floaty, perfectly skimming the body without being tight or adding any extra bulk. I had baseball on my mind when I was wearing this and cannot wait for the season to start. We have the New York Yankees AAA farm team in our area (The Rail Riders), which is a great night out in the summer. I always look forward to going and just enjoying the atmosphere, a few ball park treats, and the warm summer breeze drifting through the stadium. ~Sigh~ Summer cannot get here soon enough!

Happy Friday, all! I am so excited for this weekend since it is supposed to be in the mid 40s. Seriously, that will feel like a heat wave after the frigid temps we've been having! What are some of your weekend plans? I really want to see The Revenant, but I'm not sure I'll actually get to doing that haha. I always like to see the majority of the best picture Oscar nominees before the ceremony. It's the one awards show that is a must see for me.

I've said this before, but fringe is one of my favorite trends right now. It's a throwback to the 70s era, which is not necessarily my favorite decade, but this is one part of it I can definitely get behind. I'm pretty much obsessed with this burgundy fringe bag from The Boutique Salon. It's available by phone orders ( 801-739-3555) only right now. Hopefully it'll be on their website soon. I love the rich color mixed with the cross body style and fringe detailing. It's one of those bags that becomes a conversation piece.

I hope everyone has been staying warm these past couple of days. If you live on the west coast, then lucky you!, but if not it's been bitter cold dipping down into the single digits and below. Definitely some bundling up is needed! I'm not sure why, but I've always strayed from wearing black in the past. I always lean towards pastels, but there is something quite striking and mysterious about black. Plus, it's totally chic! This double breasted coat is so soft (feels like a fleece blanket!) and I love how the belt cinches it at the waist letting the bottom have a subtle flare. The more flare the better in my opinion! For reference, I'm wearing a size small. The big snow storm the east coast is getting started while I was shooting this. You can see some snow starting to fall on my coat. It kept me warm and cozy throughout the shoot and while running some errands afterwards.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day. Justin and I were able to go out a few days before on Friday to celebrate. We wanted to beat the crowds and actually enjoy our time together. We went to a seafood restaurant and then to see Deadpool, which was hilariously funny. One of the best movies I've seen in a while. If you're on the fence about seeing it, then definitely go. On the actual day, I spent lots of cuddle time with Ava and took her over my dad's house so she could give him his Valentine's day gifts.

I'm pretty much head over heels for this outfit! Who could blame me too?!The pretty polka dots mixed with a bright pop of pink add fun and colorful elements to your wardrobe. The skirt has a nice thick structure to it, which I love. You can tell how well made it is. This outfit would even be great in the spring time. Just swap out the black blazer and bag for white ones and voila, a fresh new feeling.
