GREEN SWEATER – WEARING SIZE XL

This is an amazing dupe for the Free People sweaters – I have it in a few colors and it’s become one of my favorites for lounging around the house, packing on beach trips for an extra layer for chilly nights, or just layering throughout the spring. I sized up a ton because I love it super oversized but I’ve gotten some DMs saying it was too baggy for some of you guys when you sized up that much – so much size up just one size if you don’t want it too loose.

GREY JOGGERS – WEARING SIZE L

I got these sweats in a couple colors – you can see the black below in a size M so they aren’t quite as baggy as these grey ones. I actually love the silhouette of these – they are super high rise so I love the way they it on the hips. And of course you can’t beat the comfort level of boyfriend sweats. 🙂

SMILEY SLIPPERS – WEARING SIZE 8.5

I pretty much live in slippers around the house so my slipper collection might be slightly above average 🙃 but they are one of the simple pleasures of life I don’t think I’ll ever give up haha. These come in 8 colors and are under $20. If you’re between sizes, I would always suggest sizing up – especially for all things fluffy, faux fur, etc.

CROPPED TANK (WEARING SIZE M)

This tank has a built-in bralette so it makes it super easy to wear out and about – I’ve worn to the gym, just running errands, with jeans – it’s the ultimate tank!

BLACK JOGGERS (WEARING SIZE M)

These are the same sweats as above but one size smaller. Super easy combo for running errands when you don’t feel like getting fully ready for the day.

WHITE PULLOVER (OLD – SIMILAR HERE)

SANDALS

If you don’t own these yet, I don’t know what to tell you – they are like walking on air! Everyone I know who owns a pair says they are the most comfortable sandals they own. Word of warning though, they are kind of like an addictive snack because once you have on pair, you keep decided you need more colors. 😂

TOMMY HILFIGER HAT

Love the color of this hat! Such a cool 90s vibe too.

CHAIN NECKLACE (UNDER $15) & INITIAL NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

I’ve worn this combo of necklaces more than maybe any other necklace. They are both under $15 and I have worn them to bed, in the shower, to the beach, in the pool – never had any tarnishing or issues with them!

GREEN BLOUSE (SIZE SMALL)

Obsessed with the color of this satin top! It’s the perfect way to bring some spring colors to your wardrobe – the off the shoulder and sleeve detail is so good!

BLACK MINI SKIRT (WEARING SIZE SMALL)

Not mad these mini skirts are coming back! So many ways to wear them and pair them – sandals, boots, sneakers, tees, sweaters, tanks. The options are endless!

GLITTER PURSE (UNDER $15)

After eyeing the Cult Gaia version of this bag for a few months, I found this dupe and decided to give it a try since it was only $15 – and I was even more pleasantly surprised when I got it in hand! Great lookalike and love it transition a look for night.

PINK SANDALS

Obsessed with everything about these sandals. As you can tell… because I wore them 3 days in a row haha. They also come in a pretty kelly green color. Surprisingly comfortable too! Which is the only way I could wear them 3 days in a row, let’s be real lol.

CUT-OUT TOP

Loving all the creative cut-outs in tops right now – it gives even the simplest, neutral outfits a step up.

CARGO KHAKI PANTS (WEARING SIZE 26)

I feel like cargo pants are breathing new life into my spring wardrobe. I love how they look with strappy sandals – it’s such a pretty balance between masculine and feminine. And they pair so perfectly with pretty fitted tops for spring, cropped tanks, even basic tees – so many options for an effortlessly cool combo no matter what your style is.

PINK SANDALS

CORSET TOP (UNDER $30 – SIZE 2-4)

This is the ultimate top for spring. It looks super high-end up so I couldn’t believe it was under $30! Comes in multiple colors and the corset silhouette is so flattering. Also love this sleeveless version (last seen here).

BLACK CHINOS (SIZE 28 x 32)

These are actually mens pants – I just sized down to a 28 (usually a size 25-26 in women’s). I’ve been loving the oversized, baggy cargo-pants fit and these seemed like the perfect way to get the same look for less.

BALLOON CARGO JEANS (50% OFF! WEARING SIZE 2)

These jeans (last seen here) were sold out for a minute but I just checked again this weekend when I got some questions on them, and they are restocked and on sale for 50% off! Sizes are going quick but I found it on sale here too in more sizes.

PINK BLAZER (WEARING SIZE L – LAST SEEN HERE)

This is another menswear steal – I was on the hunt for a pink oversized blazer and found this suit set for under $60 and I had to try it. I also got it in green and have worn it multiple times since I got it. (Loved it in this combo for when summer hits.)

PEARL HOOPS (UNDER $10)

PINK DROP EARRINGS

PINK SANDALS

PINK CROPPED SWEATSHIRT (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE M)

Love this cropped sweatshirt! Comes in multiple colors. This brand is quickly becoming one of my go-tos for comfy pullovers and cozy knits. They make some of the cropped zip-ups I’ve shared recently too – tons of cute silhouettes and great price points.

NEON YELLOW SHORTS: (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE S)

These are probably the best dupe I’ve found for my FP Way Home shorts! I basically lived in the FP version last summer – these are a little bit better price point and love all the colors. How good is this neon!? Super high waisted and really comfortable.

SNEAKERS

I’ve been wearing Ultraboosts for years now – they are hands down the most comfortable sneaker for the gym or workouts. Obsessed with all the pretty spring colors right now too! Love this orange and pink combo.

NIKE SNEAKERS

Also got these pretty Nikes last week –  love the pretty color palette! I feel like new sneakers are the best way to guarantee I keep going to the gym and working out 😂 anyone else?

Linked some of my favorites from last week here. Let me know if you guys have any questions about any of these pieces:

Obsessed with these loafers! The prettiest fall statement shoe!

DETAILS: BLACK PILE COAT (UNDER $100) | BLACK SWEATER | DENIM | EMBELLISHED LOAFERS (ALSO LOVE THESE) | READER GLASSES | LEATHER BUCKET BAG

Fall fashion is THE BEST! I did a big fall order after I had Ollie. I was so excited to be in regular clothes again! These shoes are the real MVP of my fall haul. No matter how sweaters or neutrals (or neutral sweaters – you can never have too many! 🙂  are in your fall lineup, your shoes can completely transform you look. I love the extra embellishment coupled with the snakeskin on these loafers – they are a statement shoe but also neutral enough that you can dress them up or down, and they carry way more than their weight in the style ring. They are also a surprising price point! I honestly expected them to be over $500 when I first laid eyes on them, so I feel like I got them for a steal!

Below are a few more of my recent fall purchases and some other statement shoe options if you feel like your wardrobe is in need of a pick-me-up.

It’s been a while since I wore something so embellished but I love the sequin detailing on this dress!

The hotel I stayed at last week in NY had the iconic neon lit escalator that I have been dying to see!

DETAILS: SEQUIN MINI DRESS | GOLD HEELS | BLUSH UMBRELLA (SIMILAR HERE) | CHANEL BAG

Happy Wednesday! We just made it back home from Lake Powell – I had super limited cell service while I was there, so I will be sharing all of my pictures and a travel post for any of you who have questions about it soon!

Last week in NYC, I stopped by a showroom that has some of my favorite brands and was in love with this dress the second I laid eyes on it. If you’re not familiar with the brand, it’s called Retrofête. All their pieces are so beautiful! Blake Lievely wote a yellow version of one of their sequin dresses to a premiere a couple months ago with her baby bump and it was soooo cute!

I think every girl should own an embellished, statement piece like this, not just for those occasions that call for a dressier vibe, but I think everyone should have that dress in their closet that makes them feel confident and they they are excited to put on just because! Nothing is more beautiful than a confident woman, and sometimes that confidence shines even brighter in a dress that makes you feel amazing!

Below are a few more embellished pieces that your closet is craving!

It’s been a minute since my last style diaries post, but wanted to share this NYC summer style look. After one quick post of this outfit in between meetings yesterday, I got a ton of questions and comments on these pieces so wanted to put together a quick post to share details!  It’s actually two separates: this leopard cami which I have in multiple colors and is one of my favorite layering pieces! It sold out quickly during the anniversary sale, but it’s fully stocked again and under $50! The skirt was another find from the anniversary sale (last seen in this post). There are only limited sizes but I have a feeling it will be restocked soon. Leopard skirts are huge this fall and I love combining to different prints for fun pattern play! I love this one because it has a stretchy waistband so I can adjust it over my ever-growing bump.

Also wanted to share these sandals – I’ve worn them non-stop this summer and they are actually comfortable enough to wear walking blocks and blocks around the city. Aaaand they are on sale! I think I might need the black now too…

Below are a few more leopard pieces to mix and match for more NYC summer style looks:

I don’t know if it’s my current obsession with tans and beiges or just my excitement over this new outfit, but it takes something special to oust my go-to airport sportswear style, and this look did it! Nine times out of ten you will find me in my favorite leggings, oversized sweatshirt, and sneakers when I’m traveling, but this is one of my favorite travel outfits to date. These trousers are a super lightweight material, plus with the wide leg silhouette they are just as comfortable as my typical travel uniform. I always layer-up for the plane, so I was excited to find this jacket that matched perfectly. Both pieces are under $100 and transition perfectly from the plane to going out to dinner or jumping right into your vacation. Also you guys helped me decide on this straw hat and it’s such a great staple (and must for spring/summer travel!) – and a great price point under $50. These slides are another one of my favorite recent buys for this spring and summer and under $150. Love the texture!

Below are a few more travel style pieces that will transition seamlessly into your vacation looks:

I wore this outfit on my instagram recently and got so many questions about this sweater (women version here)   Isn’t it the cutest?! Our family loves to get decked out in all things Disney for our Disney trips and I thought this sweater was perfect for our trip.  These are some of my new favorite jean shorts and they are on sale right now!

DETAILS:  DRESS | NECKLACE

So in love with this dress!  Its perfect for a beach trip – I love how it flows and feels relaxed and comfortable but is so beautiful!  I have been wearing a lot of dresses by this brand lately and I’m addicted!

DETAILS:  DRESS | NECKLACE | SHOES

I was so excited to get this dress in time for our trip.  The color is so pretty and combined with the lightweight material its the perfect wrap dress for Florida! I do a need to steam this baby real bad though 😉 I also just got these new slides!  They came just in time for our trip and are on sale under $100!

DETAILS:  DRESS | NECKLACE | BAG (UNDER $20) | PHONE CASE

DETAILS:  TOP | PANTS | MICKEY SWEATSHIRT (ON SALE UNDER $30)

This two piece set is so fun!  Not to mention the pants are so comfortable! I love making it casual with a cut off sweatshirt. Did you guys catch me DIY-ing this on instastories.

I love both the print on this one and that A-line hem!  Its so different than your normal little black dress and I am going to wear this one to a nicer dinner out. It would be cute to wear back home in the summer with a jean jacket over it to make it more casual too.

DETAILS:  DRESS | NECKLACE

DETAILS:  SWEATSHIRT | JEANS | BAG | SHOES

We kicked off the trip sporting our Mickey gear right away 😉 Such a comfy travel outfit for Disney! This is the sweatshirt you guys watched me cut the bottom off of on my insta stories to make it a little shorter and distressed. I love how it turned out! This bag has been my go to travel bag lately – it holds so much and is so easy to keep clean. And these jeans!  They have been my favorites for awhile and are part of the big sale going on right now too – so grab them while you can!

Hope you guys have a good weekend! See stories and pics of our Disney trip on Instagram @hellofashionblog!

Obsessed with this dark berry color for fall!

I seriously think this lipstick shade is the most perfect nude!

LIPSTICK:  NUDE (Shade 510- Ardent Sand) | BERRY (Shade 417 – Berry Intense)

Ok let’s be honest I love lipstick so much, I won’t be living off two shades all season 😉 BUT if the world came crashing down, beauty stores were closing, and I had only two shades to take with me it would be these. 1. This timeless matte nude and 2. This bold berry color. The nude is has been my go to for day to day mom life on the go, or for a night out if you are going more dramatic on your eye shadow. The bold berry is the perfect hue to tie in all things fall and make a statement with a bold lip paired with your favorite cozy sweater or date night dress.  It’s such an easy, simple way to update your look without having to change your outfit. Also I love Lancome’s lipsticks because they don’t dry out your lips.

Also one of my favorite influencers, Camila Coelho, just launched a collection with them and the top of the lipsticks are in the shape of lips. They are SOO cute. I’m so excited to mix these into my looks.

What do you guys think of these colors?  Which do you prefer — the classic nude or the bold berry?

Hey guys! We look forward to our annual summer vacation all year long and now that it’s here I am just wishing it would never end! Everything has been like something straight out of a dream! On our itinerary is London, Positano, Rome and Ibiza. Cody and I have been to London before, but the other cities have been on my bucket list forever!  I’ll be putting together a full travel guide for all of our stops, so leave a comment with any questions you have!

I got tons of questions on my airport outfit so I wanted to share details! We had a red eye to London, but I knew we were going to jump right in once we landed so I loved this pretty sportswear combo with these white sneakers. A denim jacket is a great travel layer, not just for the plane but to throw on and go once you reach your destination! I am obsessed with these leggings – super comfortable and such a pretty color! This crop top sports bra tank is another one of my favorites too and the back has the cutest detailing! We also found Mara this cute little hoodie dress that she doesn’t ever want to take off. It’s so cute and under $20! Can’t wait to tell you guys more about our trip!

These jeans have been on repeat lately – love the double hem and 40% off right now!

Love the distressing on this sweatshirt and it’s under $100!

DETAILS:  BLACK DISTRESSED SWEATSHIRT (ON SALE 40% OFF – UNDER $100) | FRAYED HEM JEANS (ON SALE 40% OFF) | BLACK SANDALS (LOVE THIS VELVET PAIR) | BLACK TOTE (ON SALE – 30% OFF) | CHECKERED SCARF

Happy Friday guys! Saks is having their sneak peek sale right now so I wanted to share some of my favorites. Whenever one of my favorite retailers has a big sale I finally pull the trigger on everything I’ve been procrastinating on haha. I have been needing new jeans that weren’t distressed (I think 95% of my jeans are distressed and realized I needed something different!) but I wanted something beyond a basic skinny jean, so I was so excited to find these 40% off. This is one of those pieces that I really liked online but I loved when I got them and tried them one – love when that happens! Obsessed with the frayed hem detail and the relaxed fit.

I have been wanting some more basic black tops – I feel like I have so many light colors – and this distressed sweatshirt (on sale under $100) is actually a t-shirt material so it’s perfect for spring or cool summer nights. You can transition it for a night out too – just pair it with heels and a red lip for an edgy, cool date night look. I also got this denim skirt (under $100) and love it with this sweatshirt. It’s the perfect casual cool outfit for running errands during the day. I’ve always loved a sweatshirt-mini skirt combo!

Below are a few more of my favorites from the sale (ends on Sunday!)

Paris! It’s one of my favorite cities in the world. I’ve been a few times with the family and once with just me and Beckam when he was a baby. Cody, me, and the kids all have short attention spans so when we came we never made it to some of the museums and more touristy stops in Paris, so I was excited to do that during our girls trip! We originally went to see the cherry blossoms they were supposed to be in full bloom by end of May but a storm came a few days before we were there and SNOWED! Snow in Paris crazy right! So there were barely any trees in bloom!

Our first day in Paris apparently half the city was on strike! So a lot of the spots we planned on seeing were closed, but it was the perfect chance to walk around the city. We just wandered around and ended up all over town. Our first stop was Notre Dame: You can’t go to Paris and not see the Notre Dame! There was almost no line so we were able to get in really quickly. Such an amazing experience and crazy to think it started being built in the 1100’s! Even if you aren’t religious, the cathedrals in Paris are a rite of passage – they are all so beautiful!

DETAILS: FAUX FUR COAT (LOVE THIS ONE TOO) | 2. DISTRESSED JEANS | 3. PINK CROSSBODY (SOLD OUT – SIMILAR HERE) | 4. PINK SNEAKERS (UNDER $100) | 5. SUNGLASSES

The Louvre: Do your research ahead of time (we didn’t lol)! When we showed up there were 2 lines – one for people who had reserved a time to visit the Louvre, and then the rest of us who were just winging it. The majority of us were winging it of course so it was a pretty long line, maybe half an hour to actually get in and then another 15 minutes to buy tickets. There’s an audio tour (costs a little extra) or a free app you can download for a reference point as you are exploring. The Louvre is HUGE! You could easily spend all day there. Honestly I wasn’t as excited to go, but once we went it was actually really cool to see. The detail in some of the pieces is insane and thinking about what they created with the resources they had is pretty crazy to think about! I would say its a for sure must see, but if you aren’t much into art you could be in and out in an hour.

Sacre Coeur: We just randomly ended up at the Sacre Coeur one night and it had such a pretty view of the city, I was so glad we did it! We didn’t get there in time to climb the steps up to the dome for the best view, but it was still a beautiful view from the peak of the Montmartre neighborhood. On the way down there was a street vendor selling hot apple cider and hot mulled wine – so good! On our walk I found the only cherry blossoms in Paris I think hahah jk I’m sure there was more somewhere but I was so excited to find one tree with some beautiful blooms!

The Flower Market: This was my favorite part of the trip!! It was my first time to a French flower market and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds. There were no other tourists so it felt like a typical Parisian Saturday morning, picking up produce and flowers for the week. I almost cried because I was literally just so happy! 😍

DETAILS:  1. STRAW HAT | 2. WHITE COLD-SHOULDER SWEATER | 3. BELTED TROUSERS | 4. WHITE BOOTS | 5. SUNGLASSES (UNDER $10) | 6. WHITE CROSSBODY | 7. WATCH

Versailles: Every detail was absolutely breathtaking. MAJOR home inspo haha. The pink marble was probably my favorite, and all the ornate detail everywhere! The gardens were insane, I can only imagine how pretty it is in the summer when it’s in full bloom. I didn’t realize how big Versailles was until the end of the day when my feet were sooooo tired, haha, so first tip – wear sneakers! We heard that you should either go first thing in the morning or late afternoon when it’s least busy, and we noticed the line definitely started to die down around 4. Make sure you have time to explore the gardens though! I think you could spend a whole day just outside when it’s nice out.

The Hall of Mirrors!!! Pictures will never do it justice.

DETAILS:  1. BLUSH RUFFLE TOP |  2. WHITE PANTS | 3. WHITE BOOTS | 4. SUNGLASSES (UNDER $10) | 5. STRAW BAG (UNDER $100)| 6. WATCH | 7. HAIR SCARF (SIMILAR HERE)

Saint Chapelle: Fourth time was the charm! We tried to see Saint Chapelle the first time but it was closed. We looked up the hours online and saw it closed at 5pm, so we got there at 4:36 and found out the last entrance is 30 minutes before closing – so we missed it by 6 minutes! The next day we had to leave for Versailles and tried to squeeze the Saint Chapelle in right before and the line was like an hour long! I’ll be honest, I gave up but my friends went back the next morning and waited in line because I had major jet lag and just wanted to sleep in haha. Apparently you can get priority tickets online and skip the majority of the line! It would have saved so much time haha. The pictures they got were so pretty – the stained glass looked unreal! It’s pretty quick once you get in, so definitely spring for the priority pass so you don’t spend more time outside waiting than inside actually enjoying it.

Cafe De Flore: This cafe is probably one of the most insta-worthy eateries we went to. I’m obsessed with all the flowers overhanging the restaurant and it’s facing a busy street and sidewalk so you get a true taste of what everyday life in Paris is like just people watching. You can see the full blog post here if you missed it, but it is definitely worth a visit!

DETAILS:  1. GUCCI GRAPHIC TEE | 2. RED SUNGLASSES (UNDER $10!) |  3. NAVY BLAZER (NO LONGER AVAILABLE – SIMILAR ONE HERE) | 4. BELTED TROUSERS | 5. WATCH

The Eiffel Tower: No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to the Eiffel Tower! You’ll get a few peeks of it from around the city, but you have to see it up close at night when it’s twinkling! So magical. We got a crepe from the street vendor right by the Eiffel Tower and it so good! Street food is always a good choice in Paris

Whitney always has the best Zara finds!! So obsessed with her outfit!!

DETAILS: 1. POLKA DOT TOP  (UNDER $100) | 2. JEANS | 3. LOAFERS | 4. PURSE

SPRING SPRING SPRING! Doesn’t it just make you so happy! Today is two casual everyday looks in my favorite classic neutral tones. I always have a jacket in my car for those sporadic cold days, and it’s still really cool at night here. We just launched this military jacket at ILY and I love how it’s a statement piece but still neutral so it works with anything. We also just added these denim shorts (under $100) and I love the wash and fit. So excited it’s getting time for shorts season again! Also these white sandals are kind of a dupe of a designer pair but I love them so much! I wore them a ton on our beach trips earlier this year and they just restocked the sizes! They are under $100 too!

Happy Monday guys!! How was your weekend? Ever since it’s started warming up here we can’t help but to be outside as much as possible. These pics were from last week, One of B’s favorite things to do lately is ride his bike around the neighborhood (before everyone freaks out about not having his helmet one- he has one and wears it!! He just wanted to show our friends his new bike before Cody went to dinner with his friends 🙂 On laid back days like this I totally go for my typical mom uniform which usually includes comfy jeans (these are under $100) and a good basic tank. These distressed jeans are so comfy and I love wearing them with more casual outfits. I’m also obsessed with these layered necklaces (here and here) and have been wearing them with everything!

This weekend Mara and Wes were over (I always get so many dm’s asking why they aren’t in more pics, or who these new kids in my insta stories are lol, so I know I sound like a broken record but they are my step babies and we only have them part time 🙂 We started doing yard work this weekend, and some spring cleaning getting ready to have people over! We have a covered patio in the back on the second floor of our house and we haven’t done anything with it since we moved in, it had patio furniture I bought the summer before but we were gone so much it never got assembled 🙈 so this weekend we cleaned it all up and finally put the furniture together! I had this fun idea to build a tent and camp outside on the patio, sleep under the stars with the kids and eat popcorn all night. It was going to be perfect, so we borrowed my sister in laws tent, attempted to set it up – Cody and I ended up arguing over how to put up the tent half way into it lol, realized it wouldn’t stay up super well because it’s on a patio and we don’t have dirt to secure it down to, so needless to say my picture perfect tent night under the stars turned into a disgruntled mess! Ha! Cody and I ended up laughing about it because I think as a parent sometimes we create these “special” moments in our head of what we want something to be, and it doesn’t work out! So the next night, Cody pulled our mattresses onto the deck and set up the tv with popcorn and blankets all sweet to surprise us. We started to watch The Wizard of Oz, and realized how noisy it was and that we all get allergies haha – we bagged it again.

Now everyone is asleep in our room and I’m wide awake for some reason, watching reruns of The Office, and just thinking about how thankful I am for family…. anyways – have you guys had one of those moments you build up in your head and it doesn’t quite work out 😉

Hey guys! Happy Monday!! It was SOOOO nice here this weekend we went to the park and played outside so much. Mara had her dance recital and she was so freaking cute! They did the song Come Fly With Me, and she had this little flight attendant costume it was adorable!

Today’s outfits are all about denim! I’m loving all the statement denim we are seeing this season. These red and white stripe jeans are my new favorites and they are under $100! (Does it remind any one else of the 90’s too?! I love it!). The other trend we are seeing is clean denim – less distressing and clean lines. These skinnies are the perfect everyday denim (also under $100) but still bring interest with a two tone hem at the ankle. Pair it with a suede jacket for the perfect day to night look.

What is your favorite denim trend this season?

This sherpa jacket is soooooo perfect for that and it’s under $100! I love the color and you would never know it’s from the men’s section!! I always find good things for me while shopping for Cody haha. I also love this one, and it’s under $35! I like to dress up a more casual outfit by adding some statement heels and good earrings, it’s the perfect way to be comfy but also be ready for a night out. Also hair accessories are a big thing this season. I took this leopard scarf and just tied it in my pony for a little interest to the look. These jeans have also been my go to pants lately!! They pair with almost anything!

DETAILS: GREY FELT BASEBALL HAT | GREY KNIT SWEATER (ON SALE UNDER $25) | LEGGINGS | SNEAKERS (MY NEW FAVE AND UNDER $100!) |  BLACK SUITCASE | BECKAM’S SNEAKERS

Hi from NYC! Cody is working as the brand ambassador for Westin (so proud of him!) so we are in NY for the next couple days for an event. Normally flying is a breeze and doesn’t phase me. Yesterday we were stuck on the tarmac for an hour and half before we took off because of weather in nyc. We were in the very last row with no window and I was getting major anxiety lol. Like claustrophobic feeling times 100. Usually Cody is the one who gets anxiety but it was totally me yesterday lol.

I got these sneakers earlier this week I’m obsessed with the colors. They are my new favorites and under $100! My other travel staple is a good baseball hat and I’m obsessed with this one. It’s felt so it’s a little different from anything else I own and I love the soft shade of grey, it goes with everything! Also this sweater I’m wearing here is super cozy and on sale under $25 (comes in three colors). More great travel style options below!

DETAILS: GREEN PLAID BLAZER (WEARING SIZE 4) | GREEN PLAID MINI SKIRT (WEARING SIZE 4 – UNDER $100 –  HOW CUTE IS THIS ONE?!) | STRIPED TOP  (WEARING SIZE 4 – ALSO GOT THIS ONE) | WHITE SNEAKERS | OVAL SUNGLASSES | ROUND STRAW TOTE

I go through phases when I’m constantly buying neutrals, and then next thing I know my closet is colorless haha. So all of the sudden I’m loving all things bright and colorful – probably a side effect of winter 🙂 I found this green plaid blazer and mini skirt combo and was in love (also obsessed with this pleated pink – so cute.) I ended up trying it on with this striped top and it was such a fun combo mixing prints! I especially love the red and blue stripe down the sleeves for another fun accent color.

If you aren’t used to wearing a lot of color, even mixing two tones might seem like a lot but it’s so easy to do and makes for a great statement outfit. If you are still worried about it being too bold, balance it out with neutral accessories like white sneakers or a neutral straw bag (LOVE this one! It’s a great size and under $50). Or go bold! I also got these bright blue boots that match perfectly with the stripe on the side. It’s a statement look (especially with a red lip to bring it full circle) but hey, some days call for more color than others, right? I also got these pink track pants and can’t wait to wear them!

Below are some more of my favorite colorful pieces lately!

DETAILS: BLUSH BRAIDED BIKINI (UNDER $20 FOR THE WHOLE SET) | STRIPED DRESS (ZARA – SIMILAR HERE) | BAMBOO CROSSBODY (ADDITIONAL STOCK HERE) | SUNGLASSES | GOLD CHOKER | GOLD PENDANT NECKLACE (ADDITIONAL STOCK HERE)

Hey guys! I got a million questions on my looks yesterday. I found this bikini for under $20 and bought it in 2 more colors – it’s so cute and I can’t believe what a steal it is! I also got tons of questions on my necklaces. I love the layered look with this choker and this pendant necklace. This cover up is actually a dress I found at Zara. You can turn any button up dress into a pretty cover up, just wear it open with your swimsuit and you can add a pair of cut-off shorts if you want more coverage. Lastly, obsessed with this bamboo bag! I’ve seen a lot in this style but I love the beaded shoulder strap on this one – so pretty! Here’s a similar option for under $50.

Below are a few more beach favorites below!

Happy Monday! I just got to Miami last night for the first trip of the year meeting up with some of my favorite girls. It snowed again in Utah this weekend so I’m extra ready for some sun and sand this week.

I can’t believe we aren’t even a full month into winter! I’ve been living in cozy layers and found this sherpa (surprise! you know I can’t say no to anything fuzzy- haha) hoodie. They just added more sizes in this one and it’s so good. These blush velvet joggers are the steal of the week ONLY $15!!

I also got this pretty light green bomber. I love pastels in the winter and this one is reversible with a bold orange and I love it as a statement coat or a surprise accent color for your look.

Below are some more cozy pieces to get you through the winter!
