One trend I've noticed a lot lately is the lace-up trend. Whether that be in a top like this gorgeous Free People Bittersweet Lace-up Top or Lace-up sandals (on sale!) it is a popular look that can still be classy when pairing it with the right things like a classic white tank top. I knew it was a winner when I first saw it on the hanger. Not only is it on trend, but the intricate crochet detailing gives it a sweet feminine touch...
I was recently introduced to Fromm Beauty's 1907 hair brush collection. Having used the magic trio over the past month, I thought it would be fun (and a little different) to do a post dedicated to them! All the girls in my family have thick thick THICK hair which I love and is so fun to style and braid, but when it comes to blow drying I'm down for the count. Talk about an arm workout...
I bought this denim ruffle dress last summer before my family and I went to the beach! It's the perfect thing to slip on over a swimsuit and sandals or dress it up for dinner with a statement necklace and wedges. I kept the look casual with my most worn pair of slip-ons from Target. This 'Maureen' Driving Loafer pair is an identical and comes in the most darling colors! I am especially partial to the pink...
One of my favorite color combinations is blue + white. Growing up my mom had (and still has) different pieces of decor around the house that are painted on jars in the kitchen, or in the form of toile pillows. Even my Nana had quite the collection of blue and white dinnerware - the combination is classic and timeless which made these linen stripe shorts an easy addition to my wardrobe...
I find it interesting that in today's society "meekness" is often viewed negatively. Growing up in church, I just thought of it as another one of the beatitudes... "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth..." However, the world has twisted meekness to characterize someone as lazy, weak, quiet, and timid, to name a few...
Sweet, feminine, and delicate are a few words that come to mind when I think of this dress. The tiered knee-length silhouette adds a sweetness while the eyelet detailing are equally feminine and delicate. When I was in high school my favorite way to wear my hair was half-up half-down with soft curls and a plaid bow (that was the same plaid as my uniform skirt). I updated that youthful hairstyle, keeping it soft and sweet with a ribbon for a romantic touch...
If there's one thing I've been seeing a lot of lately it's stripes! Whether it's the nautical navy and white, classic black and white, or a feminine touch of pink and white stripes they are everywhere.
I love everything about this dress. From the gingham print (that is the epitome of spring), to the off-the-shoulder ruffle, the whole thing just makes me happy - not to mention it's only $30 - and it would also be the perfect dress for a picnic! If you're giddy over gingham like me, I found some similar options to this dress like this...
