Little White Dress

This summer heats calls for a summer mini dress.

I’ve only been comfortable in dresses as of lately. They’re really the only thing that this heat calls for. I love to remain minimal and just let the dress do all of the talking. I’ll throw in a bright clutch here and there but for the most part, it’s summer and less is more! My all time favorite feature of this dress are the tassels on the shoulder. LOVE!

Since cutting my hair I’ve stayed away from everything that’s too bulky on my shoulder area because it makes me feel disproportioned. Too avoid feeling like this I’ve been connecting more with sleeveless, halter and mock neck shaped tops. I’ve sadly stayed away from my blazers and favorite boxy silhouettes. Hey, we all have insecurities and mine just happens to be that I don’t want my body to feel bigger and oddly disproportioned to my head okay!

Just Peachy

IMG_3573IMG_3600 IMG_3563 IMG_3572 IMG_3558 IMG_3560

Oh hello. Here’s my short hair debut on my blog. Everything is just peachy. My new short hair and everything else in life are going just great. I’ve been wanting to chop off my hair for awhile. I wanted something summer-y and fresh so one day I just did it and never turned back. Sure, there’s been just a few moments that I’ve missed my long hair but guess what…It’s just hair and it will grow back. Wyatt absolutely LOVES my hair this way. He wants me to rock it for the rest of my life. Such a sweetheart. I love this length and I’m really excited for it to grow into a longer bob. That length is my favorite.

Romper Under $25 #1 (Target Series)

IMG_33478 IMG_33465 IMG_33480 IMG_33457 IMG_33473

Hey Guys! Today I’m kicking off a new series featuring rompers that are just under $25. I’ve teamed up with Target to bring you some great summer buys that you need in your wardrobe right this minute. I wanted to start this series off with my personal favorite embroidered crochet romper. I feel like I belong at a music festival in this outfit. Anyone have any concert tickets? You can obviously wear this romper by itself but I wanted to share with you how to style it to it’s maximum capacity. I wore a trendy handkerchief around my neck, cinched the romper with a belt and tied the look together with my timeless combat boots.

I’m so excited about this Target series of three. I hope to give you more affordable clothing options in the future. You don’t need to spend a fortune to feel good and look good. Am I right?

Oh Target, you’ve never done wrong.

With Love,

Dressed To Impress

IMG_2136IMG_2076 IMG_2187 IMG_2132IMG_2138

Happy Friday!

Or maybe not so much. I’ve spent the day sick in bed so since I’m already here on my laptop watching Grey’s Anatomy, I wanted to put up a blog post. My runny nose and all wanted to say hi. So…hi.

 Typing, writing, blogging, journaling: all of these things can be the best remedy when you’re feeling down. Another way I like to stay upbeat and cheerful is by dressing up. I don’t know why it is but putting on my favorite red lipstick and sliding into a chic dress makes feel all brand new again. I don’t dress to impress others, I dress to impress myself. To remind myself that I’m good enough, I’m beautiful and I’m worth it. Sometimes that’s all a girl needs is to feel confident and good about themselves. Us women should empower each other more, rather than pick apart our imperfections. The one thing I cannot stand more than anything is negativity. Positivity and good energy is what I like to surround myself with. That and a good pair of heels.

The chic design of this dress made me feel like a winner. I wore this on a date night out with my soon to be husband and I loved being in it every second of the night. I also did not feel guilty chowing down a massive hamburger because the cut of the dress is made perfect for a full belly. I can’t wait to bring this number on my honeymoon, wherever that may be. Wyatt planned the honeymoon from start to finish and I won’t know where we are going until we get the airport. It better be warm and I better be done with this cold.

Checking In

IMG_1771 IMG_1776 IMG_1807 IMG_1813 IMG_1815Hello there my dear friends.

I thought I would just check in since I’ve been away from all social media for awhile. I miss you all. How’s everything? Is life treating you good? My life is chaos since I started planning our perfect wedding. Let me tell you, there is not enough hours in a day to get everything done. How am I supposed to have a healthy sleep schedule when planning this destination wedding? That’s right, I don’t even sleep. And the only time I’m on my phone is if I’m contacting the lady from our venue or talking to my mom about wedding details. Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter and Facebook don’t exist to me anymore for the time being because this wedding needs all of me right now. The stress of it all is really getting to me but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I have the best Maid of Honor that’s supporting me from all angles and the best Fiancé that reminds me of what this wedding is all about.

Anyways, I hope all is well and  I just wanted to let you all know that, yes, I am alive.

With Love,
