MOUNTAIN RESORT / OUTDOOR FALL WEDDING

MOUNTAIN RESORT/ OUTDOOR WEDDING: BURGUNDY MOCK-NECK DRESS (UNDER $100 – CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order) | GUCCI HEELS | GUCCI CLUTCH

The rich jewel tone of this dress immediately caught my eye, it also comes in a beautiful blue and 7 other colors, under $100.

BLACK TIE WEDDING

Black tie is the best excuse to go all out – it’s the most formal  so stick to floor length. I love the lines on this dress – it feels so polished but still feminine and shows just enough skin for fall.

FLORAL STRAPLESS GOWN (wearing size 4 – CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order)

This dress is one of my favorite buys all year. It flows so beautifully and the florals are subtle and feminine. Im wearing a size: 4. Also the product picture looks way lighter online than it is in real life. If you look at the reviews you can see it’s more this tone 🙂

CITY SOIREE OR COCKTAIL WEDDING GUEST DRESS:

CITY SOIREE OR COCKTAIL WEDDING GUEST DRESS: BLACK RUFFLED SLIT DRESS (UNDER $100) | ROSE HEELS (UNDER $50) | BLACK DIOR BAG

It’s kind of hard to tell in pics – but this one has ruffles down the slit and is perfect for an evening wedding in the city or cocktail event.

DESTINATION WEDDING GUEST DRESS:

DESTINATION / BEACH WEDDING: BLUE MIDI DRESS (CODE CHRISTINE20 gets you 20% off your first order)

| BUTTERFLY HEELS | MINI CROSSBODY

Destination or beach weddings usually have a laidback feel that calls for slightly shorter hems, flowy fabrics, and fun shoes. I love the lower back on this one – it’s under $100 and comes in 5 colors. Also these butterfly heels are SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Here are a few more wedding guest dresses that could work for multiple fall weddings:

1. PINK FLORAL DRESS | 2. PURPLE FLORAL DRESS | 3. BLACK RUFFLE SLIT DRESS | 4. FLORAL DRESS | 5. FLORAL PLEATED DRESS | 6. GOLD BOW TIERED DRESS | 7. FLORAL CROSS-NECK DRESS | 8. PINK FLORAL MINI DRESS | 9. GREEN HIGH-SLIT DRESS

Guys it’s been a long minute since I’ve done a blog post and I am bringing them back. Miss having this little online journal. Let me know if your still reading here I know it has been so long 🙂

Love the cut out detail on this sleeve! Between the color and the sleeves, it feels like a major statement moment.

The boys in their matching Easter outfits. So cute!

Boys think shaking their booties is the funniest thing. Ollie has started “dancing” like Beckam and Wes and it cracks everyone up

DETAILS: GREEN EYELET-SLEEVE DRESS – WEARING SIZE S | NEON HEELS (UNDER $150)| PEARL EARRINGS

CODY: TAN BLAZER | TAN SLACKS

WES: BUTTON DOWN (ALSO LOVE THIS ONE) | KHAKI PANTS

MARA: RIBBED LONG SLEEVE TOP | ORANGE FLORAL DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $10!) | NEON NIKES

BECKAM: KHAKI PANTS | NIKES

OLLIE: KHAKI SUIT | WHITE BUTTON DOWN | BLUE NIKES

Our family easter pictures are always one of my favorites of the year – with 6 people, getting a family pic with coordinated outfits can be rare 😂 so I always get excited for our family Easter outfits. I feel like the kids are all finding their own style, this year more than ever, and we are all obsessed with Nike Dunks right now so I thought it would be fun to embrace the color this year, especially with our shoe game. We all wear our Dunks and Jordans so much – they go with everything and come in so many different colors. The kids love them so much that they have saved up to buy their own pairs. Super comfortable and great quality 🙌🏼

Mara picked out her dress, I loved the colors and it’s such a good price point. she had idea to wear long sleeve underneath since it’s still kind of cold here. Cannot believe it’s $7.25!!

I always end up ordering pieces pretty last minute once I get a better sense of direction for our outfits so I wanted to share a few of my favorite retailers with quick shipping in case you’re in a pinch for an event or occasion:

ASOS – Great options for both him & her – lots of occasion dressing too! Love their price points and they have fast shipping – arrives in 24-48 hours if you join the unlimited shipping for $20.

AMAZON – You guys know how much I’ve been loving Amazon – I feel like they’ve been adding so many brands recently so their designer and budget-friendly options are insane. If I’m in a bind I hit prime filter at top and you can even click how soon you need it delivered like by tomorrow or same day.

SHOPBOP – One of my favorites when I’m shopping for dresses, and other designer pieces. They are good at their overnight shipping it’s not like 2-3 day processing time like a lot of other retailers. They are great with really getting things overnight or if you have prime membership you can get in 2 days.

So obsessed with this bag!

DETAILS: PLAID DRESS (WEARING SIZE S) | BROWN CROC BOOTS | PLAID COAT (WEARING SIZE 6) | BOUCLE YSL BAG

If the only place you’re showing up in sherpa, faux fur, and shearling is your outerwear game, you are missing out on the best winter trend for 2021/2022. With the cozy textures taking over from head (like this sherpa baseball hat!) to toe (give me all the shearling-trimmed boots), there’s no excuse for sticking to the same simple materials we’ve seen season in and out. Even the smallest details can go a long way and it’s a great way to transition other pieces to feeling more season-appropriate. I got this boucle bag (last seen here) and this teddy bag (last seen here) both from Saks this season and they have been some of my favorite bags going into winter 2021/2022.

Sharing more of my favorites from Saks right now, including some of my favorite textured finds, outerwear, and some of my favorite luxe beauty products right now below:

1. FAUX FUR WRAP COAT
2. PLUMPING LIP GLOSS (FAVE! I WEAR SHADE 001)
3. QUILTED SHEARLING YSL CROSSBODY
4. PLAID BLAZER COAT
5. LANCOME ABSOLUE MOISTURIZER (SO SOFT!)
6. SHEARLING TRIMMED YSL CROSSBODY
7. SHERPA/PUFFER COMBO COAT
8. DR BARBARA STURM CLARIFYING MASK
9. SHERPA BASEBALL HAT
10. QUILTED PUFFER COAT (LOVE THIS BRAND!)
11. GUA SHA TOOL
12. SHERPA GLOVES

The post The Best Winter Trend for 2021/2022 appeared first on Hello Fashion.

My fall essentials are a solid mix of both high and low end pieces. But when it comes to a luxe, show stopping piece, Saks is always my first go-to retailer for beautiful, high-end pieces. Their fall collection right now is so good, with pieces at all price points, so I wanted to share some of my recent faves.

These boots!! I have multiple silhouettes by this brand (I wear this pair on repeat) and I will probably end up buying more before before the season is over. Great price point, especially for the quality.

PATCHWORK QUILTED COAT  (WEARING SIZE SMALL)

WHITE KNIT DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100 – COMES IN 2 COLORS; WEARING SIZE S)

**Friends & Family Sale happening now: 25% OFF* New Arrivals, 15% OFF* Beauty. Valid 9/29-10/4**

BOUCLE YSL BAG

BROWN LEATHER CROC BOOTS (ALSO HAVE/LOVE THIS PAIR – RUNS TTS – WEARING SIZE 8)

When I first saw this stunning coat online at Saks, I could not take my eyes off of it and now I can’t take it off. From the colors to the patter-play to the silhouette, everything about it is perfection. It ties blues, oranges, tans, pinks, and greens so seamlessly making this coat one of the easiest outwear pieces to mix in with the rest of your fall essentials. I love it layered over this sweater dress. It adds immediate wow-factor to an otherwise simple/cozy combo. I feel like this coat will be one of those heirloom pieces that gets passed down – it’s so unique in the colors/prints but the silhouette is timeless. Obsessed!

I’ve also had the biggest weakness for YSL bags this year. I’ve been pretty restrained as far as new designer bags in the last few years, so I have been breathing some life into my bag collection this year with a few stunning bags that make a big splash like this mini boucle bag and this leather & linen combo last seen here. I’m already envisioning wearing this boucle bag all fall and winter with everything 😇 it’s the perfect way to tie in a cozy texture to all my fall essentials.

Sharing a few more of my favorite Saks finds, from fall essentials to showstopping statement pieces:

1. LEATHER TOTE

2. PATCHWORK QUILTED COAT

3. OFF-THE-SHOULDER KNIT DRESS

4. CROPPED GINGHAM SHIRRED TOP 

5. SUNGLASSES

6. SHERPA SHIRT JACKET

7. BOUCLE YSL BAG

8. SHERPA LOAFERS

9. SILK HEADSCARF

10. 90S DENIM

11. CROC LEATHER BOOTS

12. TAN TEDDY BAG

The post My Go To Retailer to Find Show-Stopping Fall Essentials appeared first on Hello Fashion.

My new fave designer bag 😍  love the linen, gold chain, pretty tan leather on this YSL – every detail is amaaazing!

Nothing like pretty whites, linens, and sheer details for summer – great designer bag options if you’re on the hunt!

LINEN YSL BAG | PEBBLE STACKED NUDE SANDAL (ON SALE 30% OFF; ALSO GOT THESE – LOVE THE ORANGE!) | TAN JOGGERS | MUSCLE TANK

You guys know how much I love handbags. I feel like bags and shoes get the most wear and make the biggest statement. There was a time when I was investing in and building up my designer bag collection, getting a few new designer bags a year. But then I went through a phase I wasn’t really inspired or in love with a lot of the new bags until this year! There have been so many cute bags out this year. The second I saw this one I fell in love, the linen 🤩 it’s even more beautiful in person. Saks has had the best selections this year. I also grabbed this cute denim shoulder bag – definitely a more budget-friendly price point and I love the 90s shoulder bag silhouette!

I’ve been so drawn to color this year, I wanted to share some brands I’m loving right now. These are all major statement-making brands, especially their summer collection, that would be a worthy focal point in any closet. Here are some of my favorites!

FARM RIO – These tropical and floral prints are the things dreams are made of – you can help but smile in their pieces. Love all the silhouettes too – some full sleeve, long sleeve, short sleeve, one shoulder, off the shoulder, cross back – a little bit of everything! These dresses are a must for any beach getaways you have planned.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER – Think feminine, flattering dresses and matching sets in the best prints and colors! I first tried this brand a few months ago when I ordered this top and loved it even more in person.

PATBO – This collection speaks for itself. Every single piece feels like it belongs on the Italian Coast or on a yacht on Lake Como. Honestly, I can’t even put it into words. Stunning, thoughtful cut-outs, statement cropped tops and swimwear, gorgeous prints and colors – truly one of the most amazing designers for summer!

STAUD – This brand feels a little more youthful and fun – from 90s shoulders bags to these pretty sandals to fresh color blocking. Also, most of their pieces are a pretty good price point for such high quality. Also ordered this cute matching track set – love the texture variation for each leg!

ACLER – These dresses will make anyone feel like $1m and every detail is perfection. Each silhouette feels so fresh and current – great options for wedding guest dresses too!

AGUA BY AGUA BENDITA: Another brand with gorgeous, art-like prints but their color palettes feel a little simpler (at least in comparison to Farm Rio). Also love their swimwear!

CULT GAIA: This has been one of my go-tos for summer style – from their gorgeous swimsuits to statement shoes to bags that you’ll want to wear all summer. It definitely leans more towards neutrals, but this summer has some new colorful finds. (Also obsessed with their dresses this season!)

ALICE & OLIVIA: I’ve been wearing this brand for years, but their summer collection is better than ever so I had to share. Their neons are breathtaking and dresses are stunning (also love this one). Great designer for everything from dresses to workwear to activewear (their biker shorts are 😍😍).

ZIMMERMANN: Another tried and true designer but no list of statement-making brands would be complete without Zimmermann. It’s always the first designer I search when I’m looking for a statement dress for easter or a new show-stopping swimsuit. Each piece is designed with the most intricate details, beautiful patterns and prints, and always such feminine silhouettes. Also, always an investment but one that will pay off.

1. COLORBLOCKED DRESS
2. SHEER SLEEVED CROP TOP
3. ORANGE CUT-OUT BODYSUIT
4. NEON YELLOW TROUSERS
5. STRIPED RAINBOW BUTTON UP
6. YELLOW SANDALS
7. PINK LIP GLOW
8. WHITE SCALLOPED TOP AND SKIRT
9. GOLD RUFFLED ONE PIECE
10. TROPICAL MINI DRESS
11. FLORAL CUT-OUT MAXI DRESS
12. BLUE BIRD PRINT DRESS
13. WHITE SHOULDER TOTE
14. BLUE SANDALS
15. TROPICAL PRINT SWIMSUIT
16. JO MALONE NASHI BLOSSOM PERFUME

The post This Bag Was An Immediate Add-To-Cart appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Obsessed with this dress! The scrunched sleeve detail is such a pretty detail but also makes it easy to transition the dress for spring and summer if you want shorter/longer sleeves and to give it more of a full, voluminous sleeve.

DETAILS: WHITE DRESS (WEARING SIZE XS) | DENIM SHORTS | EMBELLISHED SANDALS (UNDER $100) | BLACK WOVEN BAG (UNDER $50) | GOLD WATCH | SUNGLASSES (UNDER $10) | MAMA NECKLACE (UNDER $100) | BEADED BRACELET (UNDER $20) | OLLIE’S TRIKE

Yesterday was just one of those days where even the simplest moments feel like heaven. Chalk it up to the kids being out of school or feeling like summer is finally here – either way I had such a fun time just hanging out at the mall with Beckam and Ollie! We’re heading out of town later this week and I needed to grab a few things for our trip, so it turned into a whole evening. We ran through the fountains and Beckam collected blank gift cards. It was so fun just to be able to walk around and enjoy shopping and the boys being silly. Beckam is so much fun to hang out with right now – I’m loving this age so much! He’s so silly and makes me laugh all the time. Love these moments together. XX

I always get so many questions on Ollie’s trike. It’s a trike meets stroller and the best thing ever! Cannot recommend it enough!

Ollie is as obsessed with the strawberry lemonade as his mom. If you haven’t tried the Nordstrom strawberry lemonade, it’s sooo good!

Beckam told me last night that he wants to be a dad when he grows up – so he wanted to push Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️

Almost didn’t see him there. 😉

Love this bag! It’s a great size and the zipper makes it perfect for a big carryall bag (especially for moms!) Under $50 – also ordered in tan!

It was so cute – he wanted to get a black backwards hat so he could match his dad on our trip. It’s crazy because he looks so much like his dad here too. He’s seriously his dad’s little twin.

Never ceases to make me laugh. Love this kid. ❤️❤️

DETAILS: CROCS

Guysssss who else is on the Croc train? I love them on Ollie and somehow ended up trying them on at Nordstrom and kind of love them. Tried them on in this pretty blush, lilac, and pink/orange color and they are all so pretty! I went home with two colors. (Can you guess which?)

Wanted to share a closer look at this dress in better lighting – it has the prettiest texture on the material and love the silhouette. Would also make a great cover up!

OMBRE MAXI DRESS

After every trip to Hawaii, I always have a few DMs asking where we stayed, our favorite beaches, etc. Especially with spring break around the corner, I wanted to share a recap of our trip a couple weeks ago.  (I’ve shared a few recaps of where we’ve stayed and our favorite activities when we went as a family – this trip was more of an adult trip but I have multiple posts with guides on past Hawaii trips: a Maui Travel Guide, Oahu Family edition, and more of our Oahu faves here.)

Since I’ve shared a lot of our favorites in the past posts, I’m just going to highlight my favorites from this trip like what to eat, where to stay, and where to play (like beaches, hikes, etc. 🙂

DETAIL: BLACK BEACH DRESS

EAT:

Best Burgers: Seven Brothers

So good I ate it before I could get a picture haha.

Food Truck: Shrimp

Shave Ice: Matsumoto

Dessert: Leonard’s Bakery & Ted’s Bakery

From Leonard’s I always get the Cream Malasadas. Ted’s has a bunch of different pies but I think the one I had was Chocolate Haupia (coconut) Pie – their signature!

STAY:

Marriott Beach Club Ko Olina

DETAILS: PINK HIGH-WAISTED SHORTS (TONS OF COLORS – UNDER $30!)

This was our first time staying here. We did a two bedroom condo and shared it with Cody’s family. Its great if you are traveling with friends. They have a kitchen, so you can cook some of your meals if you want to, it’s nice for breakfast especially. The views are gorgeous, I love seeing the ocean, mountains and beach all right there. It’s a little ways from down town so it’s not as busy and you have private beaches just for the resort.

PLAY:

Kahauloa Cove

This cove reminded me so much of the beaches in Europe! It’s right down from Hanama Bay. The water was crazy clear and sooo pretty! We saw turtles and whales – one whale fully jumped out where you could see it’s entire body. I’ve never seen that from the beach before – one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

The Pillbox Hike (Lanikai)

DETAILS: TIE DYE SWEATSHIRT | PINK HIGH-WAISTED SHORTS

This is one of our favorite hikes. The views are amazing and it’s pretty moderate – it’s a little less than 2 miles. We’ve also done with the kids but were able to go a little farther to the second view point just adults cause Beckam was like 4 when we went and got really tired. So depending on your kids age it could work with kids 🙂

During my pregnancy, I was all about keeping it cool and comfortable. While I did buy a lot of new pieces for this pregnancy, less than 10% of them were actually maternity pieces! I bought a ton of affordable basics and just sized up to make some room for the bump. I’m typically a size S, so by the middle of my pregnancy I was sizing up to a M and by the end I was sometimes sizing up to a L. As you are about to see, dresses became my best friend! If I could tell you to get any one staple it’s a bodycon dress. I loved the ones from Forever21 – they are super cheap but probably my most worn. I got a medium and it lasted my whole pregnancy because they are super stretchy! They are a miracle worker when it comes to maternity style. Keep scrolling for some maternity style inspo, from dressy to casual:

How is it April?! With Easter coming up it seems weird to imagine what it will be like, but we have so many traditions with our kids that I think it will be something good for all of us to look forward to. I’ve dressed up for Easter Sunday  since I was a little girl and have loved dressing up the kids every year (also how could I say no to the idea of Ollie in a little suit!?). Still hunting for his look! I just want his first Easter to still be special (even though I know he won’t remember it haha). I don’t want the kids to look back and feel like life completely shut down, and honestly it brings me some happiness too putting it all together 🙂 I just want it to still be special for all the kids! So this week I’ve been Easter shopping! A lot of places have adjusted their shipping speed to I realized I had to plan a little earlier this year. Still trying to figure out what all I am going to put in their baskets – I’m thinking some fun little activities for the house – so if you have any ideas throw them my way!

I wanted to share some of my favorite Easter dress inspo this year and including a few throwbacks from the last few years.Easter is the epitome of all things colorful – flowers, sunshine, spring – and I love all the beautiful dress options right now that are perfect for the day! I’m obsessed with this gorgeous yellow dress (just add a cute clutch and simple sandal – this one goes with everything!). I looove this gorgeous floral print (similar look here). There are also so many great options available at budget-friendly price points – I love the silhouette of this one and this one, both under $100. This is another one under $100 that is super versatile – add some heels for Easter Sunday or add a pair of white sneakers for a more casual look.

Also linking to our last few Easter looks! This one was last seen here. Not the same without Mara & Wes!

This one didn’t make it to a blog post somehow, but this dress is still available here (and on sale 40% off!) Also loved Mara’s embroidered dress and for little boys suits, this brand is my go-to. They have so many cute colors! It can be a bit of investment, but great if you have other occasions coming up or you can also find them discounted here or sometimes here.

Last seen here. (How tiny are the kids!?!?)

Below are some more Easter dresses and accessories to kick off your spring wardrobe!

The post Why I’m Still Getting Ready on Easter… appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | ANIMAL PRINT BLAZER (UNDER $50) | KHAKI BASEBALL CAP | KNOTTED TOTE (UNDER $100) | WHITE SNEAKERS (UNDER $100) |  PHONE CASE

When in doubt – just add sneakers! You can never go wrong with dressing down a LWD with a baseball cap and sneakers. To add some dimension to your outfit, layer it with  a printed blazer and an unstructured tote. (This black one is one of my favorites! Can’t believe it’s under $100…)

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | DENIM JACKET (UNDER $50) | CROPPED DENIM (UNDER $50) | STRIPED SLIDES (UNDER $50) | BASEBALL CAP | DIOR TOTE | PHONE CASE

Swap your standard white tee out for this tunic dress to turn an errands outfit into something a little more sophisticated. I love how the length breaks up this denim on denim combo! Just add a sporty slide and baseball cap to finish it off with a casual touch.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | COMBAT BOOTS (ON SALE UNDER $50) | KNOTTED TOTE (UNDER $100) | SUNGLASSES

Sometimes the simplest looks are the ones that make the biggest statement! I love styling higher hems with combat boots and these two pieces make the perfect pair. I love how the white laces tie in the brightness of the tunic to pull the look together and the contrast of feminine ruffles with an edgy combat boot is so good. To keep it feeling like a daytime outfit, add a chic, simple tote.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | CROPPED DENIM (UNDER $50) | STRAW DETAIL CROSSBODY (UNDER $50) | PLATFORM SANDALS ( UNDER $100) | PHONE CASE

Layering dresses and skirts over denim is a huge trend for spring, but if you’re not ready to take the leap, just dip your toe in the water by adding a tunic over a paid of your favorite denim. It’s basically a long-line blouse if you think about it, but I love the effortless, sophisticated spin it brings to an otherwise basic ensemble. Dress it up with some platform sandals and a coordinating bag for a look that can easily go from meetings to errands to Sunday brunch.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | HARDWARE BELT (UNDER $25) | PLATFORM SANDALS (UNDER $100) | PANAMA HAT (UNDER $10) | PHONE CASE

Never underestimate the power of a dress that can go from airport to beach to dinner, all in one trip. This one really is that versatile – it all comes down to shoes and accessories. I love it paired with a belt, platform sandals, and this felt fedora for an easy festival season look just in time for Coachella this spring!

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | CROPPED FLARED DENIM (UNDER $50) | WHITE SNEAKERS (UNDER $100) | STRAW DETAIL CROSSBODY (UNDER $50) | KHAKI BASEBALL CAP |

Monochromatic looks always read more expensive than they are – I love the combo of this dress over these flared, cropped jeans. With a baseball cap and sneakers, it brings an effortlessly cool vibe to make this head-to-toe white/beige moment more wearable on the weekends.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) | RED BLAZER (ON SALE UNDER $50- COMES IN 3 COLORS) | CONVERSE SNEAKERS (ON SALE) | DIOR BAG | SUNGLASSES

A bold color instantly transforms this dress into the perfect backdrop for a statement-making piece. I love this bright blazer and the white and black balances out the color and tones it down to make it more wearable to the office, meetings, or meeting up with the girls.

DETAILS: WHITE TUNIC DRESS (UNDER $100) |  | STRAW DETAIL CROSSBODY (UNDER $50) | BLACK STRAW HAT (UNDER $50) | SUNGLASSES | PHONE CASE 

Back to feeling beachy vibes wearing this as an easy, breezy swimsuit cover-up. Just add your favorite sandals, a woven or straw bag, and an oversized straw hat.

Let me know in the comments below which look is more your style! Below are a few more of my favorite’s from my Kohl’s spring drop with The Outfit Bar!

And Happy international women’s day!! Excited to share our first capsule on this day – always chase your dreams big or small!!

The post If You’re Only Buying 1 Thing This Spring, Make It This appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: TULLE DRESS

With Valentine’s Day on Friday, I wanted to share a few Valentine’s gift ideas, from free/DIY to splurge gifts that you can pull off last minute. Here are a few of my favorites at all different price points!

Free

We all have those chores around the house that either keep getting put off or that you and your S/O take turns doing. Maybe it’s giving the dog a bath, going grocery shopping, doing the dishes or even those bigger DIY home improvement project. Just put together a coupon book to give your partner a free pass from some of those chores and it won’t go unappreciated.

Ok this is as far from ‘last minute’ as you can get, but start either a written journal (or even a ‘notes’ page on your phone) documenting 1 thing you love about your S/O everyday – somedays it will be something funny they said during the day, somedays it will be big gestures and moments, but not only will it be an epic gift next Valentine’s Day when you give it to your S/O, it will also help you focus on everything you love about them during the year.

$

Go pick up a globe or a map from Goodwill or a secondhand store (or you can find new options in-store or online for a really good price) and add a pin to all of the spots you have traveled to together. You can also print out pictures from your trips with little notes on the back sharing some of your favorite memories.

A box of gourmet chocolates. I don’t care if it’s for her or him, they are counting their carbs or trying to cut out sugar, what is Valentine’s Day without chocolate?

If your S/O’s idea of the perfect date night involves a comfy couch and big screen TV, you can’t top a movie scratch off poster. It may seem like just a poster, but as you start to scratch off each movie it will turn into a ton of fun, memorable date nights. Just add popcorn and a comfy blanket.

$$

When in doubt, make reservations at one of your S/O’s favorite restaurants. The sooner you book the better, or you might get stuck eating at 4:45pm or 9pm, but it’s a no-brainer. As an alternative, you could celebrate with dinner the day before or after and plan a romantic night at home to avoid the crowds on the 14th.

Missed the cut off? That’s me, lol. I’m making custom Nike’s or Vans for Cody for Valentine’s. I haven’t decided which one, but then I’m going to print off a picture of the shoes to give him the day of. They take about 3-4 weeks to come usually, but that way he can be excited waiting for them too. 🙂

$$$

One of the best last minute gifts is a pair of tickets to an upcoming event. When I have a family member or friend’s birthday coming up, sometimes I’ll just browse Stubhub for a list of events in their area to get inspired. Sometimes it’s a concert of one of their favorite bands, a good comedy show, or tickets to their favorite basketball team. It’s always a win and nobody would guess it was a last minute gift idea.

$$$$

If you are scrambling for a last minute present to impress, now is the time to book that trip to the destination your S/O has casually been bringing up. Whether it’s a dream trip overseas, a weekend camping trip, or a road trip home to visit their family, they’ll always remember that as the perfect Valentine’s Day present.

Below are some other great Valentine’s gift ideas that she will love:

After living in sneakers and flats the last couple months (pregnancy life 🙂 I am getting so excited for the day when I can wear heels regularly again! There is just something that makes you feel more confident and beautiful in a pair of your favorite shoes! Here are the three Tamara Mellon heels to heat up your fall outfits this season:

The perfect nude sandal heel!

NUDE SANDAL:

Nude sandals are 100% a year round thing. As much as I wear my nude pumps, I think I wear my nude sandals even more! They are so versatile. I just got the nude version of these Tamara Mellon Frontline sandals. You have seen me wear them in Platino for years and wear them so much that I wanted another color. – I love the look of the 3 straps (They also come in this shorter heel option and flats as well.)

The calf hair leopard though 😍

LEOPARD PUMP:

Leopard is arguably the ‘it’ print this season, so a classic leopard pump is the perfect way to add some timeless animal print to your shoe rotation. There are so many leopard prints out there, but with shoes I feel like it can be hit or miss. I LOVE this one and the calf hair material reads even more beautifully in person! They also have a little detail by the point of the toe too. They are so beautiful! You can wear them as a neutral print by mixing with stripes, plaid, or other classic patterns, or break up a neutral outfit with a pop of animal print and texture.

KNEE-HIGH BOOT:

Last but not least, a dress boot! I realized when I caught sight of this pair, that I don’t have many (if any!) stiletto style boots so these are next on my Tamara Mellon wishlist. The Icon come in a few different colors and materials (love the moss suede!) and they also come in both a 75 mm or 105 mm heel height option.  This bootie comes in a pretty black velvet and a calf hair leopard style.

Tamara Mellon was actually the co-founder of Jimmy Choo, so all her shoes are really high quality, luxury shoes. For me, the pumps ran true to size but the sandals fit a little small, so I sized up 1/2 size, but there’s an online Fit Quiz here where you can plug in your size in other brands you wear to find out your Tamara Mellon size. Everything is guaranteed for repairs for up to two years and in addition to free shipping and returns, there’s no limit to when you can return!

Below are some other great styles to update your fall shoe game:

I’m so excited to share the first episode of my new series: It Takes Two! Every Thursday for the next few months, I’ll be sharing episodes of what I’ve learned from some of my favorite females: women that are influencers, entrepreneurs, women who inspire me, etc.! Forbes recently published their list of top 100 CEOs and included only 1 female. That’s 1%! I couldn’t believe it! I think we can all speak up in our own way – we all know strong, inspiring women and whether they are CEOs or just someone you look up to, I think it’s so important that we lift each other up ad support each other.

I started this It Takes Two series as a way to team up with and introduce more of my favorite females and share more of their story and strengths with you guys! My first episode is with one of the sweetest influencers I know: @ColorMeCourtney. She is such a genuinely bright and cheery personality and her energy is so contagious! You can’t help but have fun and feel inspired when you are with her. Also her puppy Waffles is the cutest!! He does a Waffles Wednesday on her stories so make sure you follow along to get the BTS from Waffle’s perspective – it’s the best haha! Every month, Courtney chooses a color to feature on her feed, so I was so excited that the timing landed on hot pink! we created some looks with her color of the month and made a cute stop motion video.

Hope you will take a minute and Check out the first episode of It Takes Two here!

Love knotting my tees and sweatshirts over my bump! This dress is the perfect non-maternity piece that still works before, during, and after pregnancy.

LOOK 1: GREY SWING DRESS (UNDER $10 – COMES IN 4 COLORS – I’m wearing size medium) | PINK SWEATSHIRT (SIMILAR HERE) | WHITE SNEAKERS

Happy Saturday! With all the construction going on in our house right now, we decided to escape for a little staycation this weekend. It was more of a grab and go packing situation since we went so last minute, so I grabbed a few comfy pieces I could mix and match and wanted to share a few ways I’ve styled them! I got this grey swing dress for $10 and was shocked at how comfortable it is. It’s really versatile and the perfect piece for a weekend getaway or just everyday style since you can wear it so many different ways. I love this sweatshirt (similar here) knotted over it for a casual look with these sneakers.

LOOK 2: GREY SWING DRESS (UNDER $10 – COMES IN 4 COLORS – Im wearing size medium) | WHITE SNEAKERS

You can’t go wrong with a simple swing dress and sneaker combo. I love dresses as an easy one-and-done outfit option and this one is the epitome of the perfect day dress (including pockets! 😍) Also love this sleeved version under $15. Swing dresses are the perfect non-maternity or maternity piece that works well before, during, and after pregnancy!

LOOK 3: GREY SWING DRESS (UNDER $10 – COMES IN 4 COLORS) | RIBBED CARDIGAN | WHITE SNEAKERS

And last but not least, one of of my favorite styling pieces: a long, knit cardigan. Sweaters are a great way to bring in some pretty texture to your look and also to transition your wardrobe for fall. I love the ribbed detailing on this one (under $20 and comes in 4 colors) and how good is this one (on sale under $30)?! This look would be cute with booties too, but I’m living in sneakers right now 😉

Which look is your favorite? Let me know below in comments! I also linked a few other Walmart finds at great price points below. They have free 2-day shipping and returns for orders over $35 if you need anything in a crunch! Here are a few more great trends you can shop right now.

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!

DETAILS: GREEN RUFFLED DRESS | WHITE SNEAKERS | SUNGLASSES | CHANEL BAG

This dress was one of my favorite buys for NYC. I love flirty, flowy dresses in the summer – especially with the bump. The only dresses that really work right now have to have a stretchy waistband so they aren’t too uncomfortable to breathe. 🙂 For any of you fellow expectant moms who are avoiding maternity clothes, just look for dresses with an empire waistline, stretchy fabrics, or that are flowy enough to fit your bump and size up as needed! Throw on pumps for a flirty night-out ensemble or dress down with sneakers like these which have been on repeat. I know I talked about them in this post, but they are one of my favorites right now. They have lots of color variations that are still white but with different accent colors, like these black and white ones.

Here are some more cute dress options that work with or without a bump:

The post My Go-To Non-Maternity Dresses appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: WHITE SUMMER DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $50) | SNAKESKIN SLIDES (UNDER $50) | BLACK TOTE (UNDER $50)

Dress season is in full swing and I am here for it! This year I am embracing the effortless ease of dresses even more than usual since I’ve been able to put off buying maternity pieces by stocking up on cute dresses that work for both. This one is on sale right now for under $50 and one dress that you could wear all season. I’m obsessed with the tie detail and it’s a really comfortable material. I’ve had my eye on this one too – it might be the next dress I add to my collection. How good is that shade of yellow! I also got these slides for under $50 and it’s my first snakeskin print in a while and I love how it acts as a neutral but still adds some texture to an outfit. This bag has been another go-t0 – you last saw it in this post (where I shared lots of other great finds under $50). So perfect for summer!

Below are some more pretty summer pieces all under $50:

Such a proud mom moment last week at Beckam’s preschool graduation! I can’t believe he is starting K next year. I swear I just picture him at this toddler stage and I don’t want to admit he is growing up! But I love this age so much, he is such a FUNNY kid. If you guys caught the Instagram video I shared, Beckam said his favorite thing to do it hang out with mom and dad 😭😭😭  He was the only kid that said that (the other kids had super cute answers!!) and I don’t know if it was the pregnancy hormones but it definitely got me tearing up. He is so excited now to be able to go to school like Mara and Wes and have recess “like the cool kids!”

Here is the outfit I wore to the graduation. The dress is from my friend Aspyn’s shop she has super cute stuff and this dress is under $50! I love the length and fit!
