Abercrombie & Fitch Sale Finds

IMG_8084

Abercrombie & Fitch is very quickly becoming one of my favorite stores to shop. I can't even believe it! Their quality of clothing is amazing and their sales are very good. They have a great sale going on right now where many items are 40- 60% off. I am sharing some of my favorites!

IMG_8065

The first thing that caught my eye when I was browsing the site was this adorable matching set in the floral pattern. Both the top and bottom are sold separately but they are SO cute! I think they would look darling together with white lace up sandals. Next, I am obsessed with this puff sleeved scrunch top and this gorgeous midi skirt. These are both items that can be worn so many ways. The last look I love is this floral off the shoulder bodysuit (shown on me in the picture above) and white distressed jeans. Love this easy look. This bodysuit has been a closet staple all throughout spring and will now transition so well from summer into fall!

IMG_8104

These last few items are all great pieces that will transition straight into the fall. I am already eyeing things I would like for the fall and I love when stores have new items on sale- like Abercrombie does here! First, can we just admire this jumpsuit. This is a STUNNER! I just imagine wearing it with some strappy shoes and a big hat. I love it so much. Next, I am in LOVE with this gorgeous satin black midi dress. It would look so good with this cute jacket, a hat, and strappy shoes. The last look I am loving is this pretty champagne colored skirt and white puff sleeved top. You could also dress down this skirt by adding a graphic tee and fun sneakers. Top it off with a leather jacket and you would look so cute and chic!

Take a minute to browse Abercrombie's website and their sale pieces! They are all so cute.

Fourth of July Looks

Can you believe it is almost the Fourth of July!? This year is flying BY! I am probably one of the only people that wants it to slow down. Andrew is growing so fast- he will already be five months on July 5th!

I am so curious though since every state is very different right now- what are you doing for the Fourth of July? I can tell you we don't have a single thing planned! This kind of makes me sad because I love this holiday so much and celebrating with family and friends is always fun. I am sure last minute we will just do a little family cookout and I will for sure be dressing for the occasion! I know a classic jean shorts and t-shirt is one of the most popular and go-to looks for the Fourth, but I am going to bring you three dressier looks. They are girly and can be worn so many ways throughout the summer! You can shop all items under each photo collage.

IMG_7058

This is probably my favorite look. I love a simple blue and white dress for summer! This one is under $20 and is so adorable! I think it would look beautiful with these gold wrap sandals (have been eyeing this FOREVER), a straw hat, sunnies, and straw bag. There you go! An easy look with pieces you can wear a hundred times! Shop each item below.

IMG_7087

This red and white dress is STUNNING! It would be so cute for the fourth with some white strappy sandals and accessories. But then, you can wear it again in the fall with some white booties and hat! Shop all the items below.

IMG_7104

This is the final look and probably what I will end up wearing. I have shared this dress MANY times! I bought it three years ago, full price, to wear to my Rehearsal dinner. I have never gotten so many questions about a dress! It is now on an amazing sale for $60 and one day shipping with prime! I love how they have it styled with sneakers in the picture. I would love to style it with these gold Steve Madden heels. Best part?! The heels are 40% off with code Spring40! I think I may grab them!! Shop all the items below.

I hope you all have a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend! Please be sure to follow all your states rules when enjoying your weekend! Thank you for reading 🙂

Minimalist Everyday Jewelry with Leo Mazzotti

I am so excited to be writing this post with Leo Mazzotti and to share their jewelry pieces with you all! They have the most beautiful handcrafted, minimalist, and unique jewelry. I am absolutely in love with jewelry that has a minimalistic style because they are pieces you can wear every single day! When it comes to styling my jewelry pieces, I want pieces that are dainty, good quality, and beautiful. These pieces do just that.

IMG_5953

I am wearing the Shell Necklace Myra in Rose Gold and the Eternity Sunshine Bracelet in Rose Gold. Both of these pieces are seriously so beautiful on I didn't feel like I needed any other jewelry on for this outfit! In the picture, I have styled both pieces with a dressier look. However, I have also been living in these pieces with just t-shirts and leggings around the house! Whenever I wear this bracelet, I find myself constantly looking down and admiring it. It is so very pretty.

Along with having beautiful and on trend pieces, Leo Mazzotti jewelry is very affordable and made of great quality. As soon as both pieces arrived, I could tell they were carefully made and carefully packaged. I think these pieces would make such a wonderful gift for any woman!

They also have a variety of bracelets that would look stunning stacked together! Stacking bracelets is very on trend right now and it is so fun to do. If you like the stacked bracelet trend I think you might like this set. It features their Dolce Vita Classic Gold Bracelet and the Simplicity Bangle. I love this set so much! The chunky Dolce Vita bracelet will look so good alongside the thinner Simplicity Bangle.

Tie Dye Kimono

First and foremost, how are you all? I took a big break away from anything fashion, beauty, and social media related this week. I spent time reading articles, talking with friends, looking up new books, and a lot of praying. I knew I needed to become better educated and to give my requests and fears up to God. I am going to continue to do this each day.

It is 9:30 on Thursday and I was catching up on work but now diving deep into what I love the most- all things fashion! I couldn't wait to share this kimono with you all in pink! This is the actual summer Kimono of my DREAMS! Flowy, airy, pink, and tie dye?! Yes please. I grabbed this kimono awhile back when I saw it in the Cafe color and have worn it so many times! Recently this pink color came back into stock and I bought it right away. This kimono is coming and going in and out of stock constantly. I can't blame everyone for wanting it. It is so beautiful!

Here I have the kimono styled with white denim shorts, a white tank, my favorite Lack of Color hat, and these beautiful lace up sandals. This is such an easy yet beautiful summer look. I also plan on styling this kimono with a bathing suit when we head to the beach this summer. I think it will look really stunning over a white one piece!

Linking this look and some of my other favorite kimonos right now, below.

Affordable Swimwear

IMG_5539

It's almost time to break out all our favorite swimsuits!! I usually am SO excited for swimsuits and finding new ones to wear, but this year I was a little apprehensive since I just had Andrew and have not gotten back into working out yet. I will get back into exercise eventually. This summer, I will be wearing many one pieces, which I am actually very excited about!!

I have been browsing online for some really adorable one pieces as well as high waisted two pieces. The one piece I ordered is AMAZING on and so well made! I love the buckle detail around the waist and the fact that it has full coverage in the back. It looks incredible styled with this kimono and a straw bag. I am wearing the size large. I really like when a one piece is strapless, but still has great support and this one definitely does. I cannot wait to wear it on our beach trip!

White Dresses for Summer

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Best weekend of the year, in my opinion! Usually pools are opening up and it means summer is right around the corner! Also, fun fact- I got engaged on Memorial Day weekend four years ago and found out I was pregnant on Memorial Day weekend last year!

Since summer is so close, now is the time for all the dresses! I absolutely love dresses in summer. They are light, ariy, and just so pretty. I am especially a fan of white dresses because I feel like they stand out in the summer and really make you look tan!

This dress is from H&M and I am wearing the size small. It definitely runs big! I love this dressed up girly with lace up sandals and a pretty woven bag. To make this bag stand out, I added these gorgeous hair scarves that come in a pack of two. Then, I tied the whole look together with these ADORABLE sunnies! I cannot get over the pearl detailing! They are so cute! I plan to wear these all summer long. They were only $15 and worth every penny!

The way I have the dress styled here is very feminine and girly, which is what I love. You can easily style this dress in different ways. You could do the dress with sneakers, flat sandals, moto jacket, hat, or whatever it is that will make it more you! I can't wait to wear this look hopefully to the beach this summer 🙂 I will link some other favorite white dresses all under $100.

Styling a White Top for Summer

IMG_4936

You guys know I am all about finding pieces that are so versatile for your closet. If I am going to buy something I have to know that I will have multiple ways to wear it! I always start with brainstorming how exactly I could wear it before I purchase. Makes it much easier when the piece arrives! Today I want to share three easy ways to style a white structured top for summer. I am sure so many of you probably already have a pretty white top in your closet so you can get to styling right away! If you do not, I will link this top and others (all under $20) at the end of this post.

The first and best way to style a white top in my opinion is with light wash distressed denim and a cute sandal. Easiest yet most chic look ever. For this look I threw on my favorite pair of jeans (sold out but linking similar pair here).  I then styled it with my everyday go to jewelry pieces to glam it up. This necklace and bracelet are both stunning and look great with literally any outfit! I also wear these hoop earrings with almost every outfit each day and get so many questions about them! I cannot recommend a pair of earrings enough. They are so beautiful. Add your favorite sandals or simple heels and you have a perfectly styled look! Wear it around the house, out for errands, or out to dinner!

 

IMG_4945

The second way to style this white top is with a pretty pair of shorts! I love a pair of girly shorts for summer! This look is so fun and can easily go from day to night. If you are wearing this during the day, its comfortable enough to lounge on the couch or play with your kids! If you are wearing it at night, you can easily throw on some heels and be done! These shorts are so cute and the ruffled bottom give them a skirt look, when they are really shorts! Since we are styling a white top, you can look for any colored pair of shorts or even some with a pretty lace or floral design. I will link my favorites below!

IMG_4951

The last way to style this top is with a denim skirt. I lovvvve a denim skirt for summer! Some days are so hot there is no possible way to wear jeans, so a denim skirt to me is just as good! My denim skirt here is old, but I will link some new ones that I love. This one is so cute with the buttons down the front. This outfit to me is exactly what I want to wear when we get a date night in when hopefully things start to clear up!

White Tops

Shorts

Skirts

I hope you guys enjoyed this! Hopefully you have some items like this already in your closet so it will be easy to recreate. Stay safe and healthy!

Currently Craving- All things Floral

IMG_4265
IMG_4267

Is it just me or are there so many pretty floral prints out right now!?! From clothing to home decor, there are so many pretty options to pick from. One of my favorite things to do for spring and summer is to pair a pretty floral blouse with white shorts or jeans and call it a day. It is such an easy outfit and looks great no matter what!

This beautiful floral top in pictures is only $18 and looks so good with these white shorts! I also ordered the denim skort that it is styled with online and I can't wait to wear them together! I am going to share some favorite floral tops below- all for really great prices.

Tops

IMG_4861

Along with floral tops, I am loving floral rompers. They are so fun for summer and are the easiest one and done outfit you can do! This romper is beautifully made and feels so good on. I love it paired with small heels. I wore it for my quarantined birthday this year but I am hopeful I will get to wear it somewhere this summer! Here are some other gorgeous floral rompers that will be perfect this summer.

Rompers

I hope you all are enjoying all the pretty floral prints as much as I am! Stay safe and healthy everyone 🙂

Layering Necklaces

Layer it Up

Layering necklaces- one of my favorite trends this spring! I am loving all the gold necklaces out there right now. This is such a fun trend to try out because you can purchase really great pieces to spice up your outfit without spending a lot of money.

Personally, I love costume jewelry. I have always been that way! I used to love shopping in Charming Charlie's! I love big earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. Since I love different jewelry trends so much, I do not like to spend a lot on them because I am constantly changing out what I am wearing and like to wear different pieces with different outfits. This spring, many different necklace styles started coming out and they all looked SO good layered together. I immediately wanted to try the trend so I went to my favorite place for cheap accessories- Forever 21. I quickly ordered the three necklaces in the picture and have been wearing them for months. They are always a weekly top seller! I wear them at least 3 times a week and the quality of them is still great. My favorite way to wear them at home is with a casual t shirt or tie dye set and I feel like it makes the whole look more put together! Even though I am just at home! I will link them below.

How to Layer

Start with a flat herringbone style necklace first. These ones are very in right now and I admit I was hesitant to try it at first, but I love the way it looks on. It even looks amazing on its own. LInking some of my favorites below.

Next, add a chain or chunky necklace. The one I wear has a coin pendant on it, but I am really wanting to get a new one that is just a chain. Linking my favorites below.

Finally, add a dainty necklace. This one can be a necklace with your initial on it, one with coin pendants, evil eyes, stones, whatever you like best! Right now I really love coin pendants and initials. Linking my favorites below.

I hope that was helpful! How do you like to layer necklaces? Leave me a comment below!

My Blog is One Year Old!

IMG_3686
IMG_3706

TOP/SHORTS/BRACELET/RING/EARRINGS

What I have Learned So Far...

I can hardly believe my blog has been public for one year! I remember being so nervous last year when I shared out that I had started a blog and that it was live with its first posts. So much has changed since then and I have learned so much.

I started off this journey with my blog knowing absolutely nothing about WordPress and constantly calling my dad for help. My dad would send me videos he found on how to use wordpress and helped me so much from the beginning! Finally, I got the hang of things and it became easier. If you are nervous about starting a blog, but feel passionate about it, I highly suggest just taking that leap of faith and trying it out!

In honor of my blog being one year old today I want to share some things I have learned along the way! Hopefully this can be helpful to you in starting your own blog!

1. Ask for Advice

Last spring and summer I started going to blogger meetups in my area (DC Bloggers) to listen to bloggers give advice and share out things they have learned. It was SO helpful! I went with one of my friends and we learned a lot about different apps, how to be consistent, and how to share out things. I think many areas have Blogger Unions so depending on where you are, see if they have these and try to go to one of their meet ups. Also, make friends with others who are also starting out a blog. Ask them questions and help others when you can!

2. Be consistent

Right after sharing out my blog, I became pregnant and the first trimester exhaustion hit me, so the last thing I could do was work on my blog. I felt embarrassed and discouraged because I couldn't post much, but I knew my body needed a break. I didn't post much for long periods of time on my blog, but I started to set goals for myself and by setting goals I became better at achieving them! Now I am able to produce 2-3 blog posts a week and I really really enjoy it. I feel more comfortable and at ease when producing the posts. It's like an incentive for me. I finish the work I need to do for school, with Andrew, and around the house, then I can make a post.

3. Look for easy to use templates

I wish I had known this from the very beginning. I actually JUST discovered this and it has made everything SO much easier. You can go to Etsy and search for Blog templates. There are so many amazing ones! If you don't feel comfortable installing it on your page, many stores will install it for you at a price. I found my current template on Etsy and installed it myself. The girl I bought it from was so helpful and her instructions on install were very easy! I used to hate the layout of my blog before I found her template. It's incredible.

4. talk about your blog on social media

One way I have found to increase traffic on my blog is to talk about it on instagram. I use instagram all the time so for me it is the best resource to share out my blog! I share it on my stories and in posts as well. It might even be helpful to do quick screen recordings to share how to navigate your blog.

5. don't get discouraged

This is one of the most important things I have learned that I still have to remind myself. Nothing that is good or worth it is going to come easy. As with anything you do, you have to try and work hard. Some days I felt like there was no purpose in it, but then my husband would remind me that this is what I love. And he is right! I love to share clothes, makeup, and anything that works for us. I love to talk to others about those things! It's one of my passions and as long as I feel that way, the blog serves a purpose for me and for anyone else who is interested in reading!

I still have so much to learn when it comes to having a blog and sharing things but I feel so excited for that and for what's to come! Thank you so much for reading and following along. It means so much to me!

Jess
