OOTD: Chambray Chic


Mixing prints in the summer time is so fun! I love mixing cute patterned tees with fun shorts. This look combines a stripe print along with an adorable palm tree tee. These striped chambray shorts are patterned but they are a great neutral piece that practically go with anything. To pick up more chambray in the look I wore my J Crew Sperry Topsiders that are made of a light chambray material. I love these Sperry's because they have small embroidered anchors on them which make them the perfect shoe for summer. 





To accessorize this look I stuck with gold accessories. I wore a simple gold belt, a whimsical statement necklace, along with my Alex and Ani bangles. In addition I wore my KJP pearl bracelet to add an extra nautical touch to the look. 





Where it's from: 
Shirt: J Crew 
Shorts: Dry Goods 
Necklace: J Crew 
Earrings: Macy's 
Belt: Target 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & KJP 
Ring: Tiffany & Co.

OOTD: National Wear Lilly Day


Yesterday was National Wear Lilly day aka the first day of summer! For the special occasion I kept things casual with this Lilly for Target blouse. My actual Lilly dress is very formal so it wasn't exactly made for a lazy day and seeing a movie. 

Yesterday I saw the newest Disney flick Inside Out. To say it was adorable was an understatement! I loved it! I mean normally I love all Disney movies but this one was just too cute. The story line is great and it makes you feel a lot of emotions, naturally because the characters are emotions. I'm not going to lie I cried three times because it was so cute and sad. Also, it was kind of nostalgic and reminded me of my younger years. (Wow I'm 20 and I already feel old this kind of sucks..)



For a casual movie date I wore a pair of dark wash jeans and this adorable Lilly for Target blouse. I always wear jeans when going to a movie theater because they are always freezing! Even if it is super hot outside I highly recommend bringing a sweater or jacket into the theater to keep you warm. To complete the look I wore my Jack Rogers sandals and stacked bracelets.



Where it's from: 
Shirt: Lilly for Target 
Jeans: American Eagle 
Shoes: Jack Rogers 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani, Kate Spade, KJP 
Sunglasses: Charming Charlie's

OOTD: 20th Birthday


06/19/15 
Friday was my 20th birthday! The day was filled with friends and family and a lot of food. To start off the day I went to breakfast with my friends Mariah, Maureen, and Cathleen at my favorite local spot. Then Mariah and I got massages at my chiropractor office for a little relaxation. After that we got ready and went shopping downtown Naperville. We scooped up a few great things from J Crew, Sephora, and Anthropolgie. Then we completed our shopping trip at the Victoria Secret semi-annual sale! P.s. currently their sale bras are an extra 25% off in stores so go hit that up! 

After spending too much money we got dinner with my family, my two aunts, Mariah, and Maureen. We ate at one of my favorites On the Border. When the waiters sang to me they wished me a happy 21st birthday. The rest of the night we joked that I turned 21 instead of 20! It was nice to have dinner with my friends and family and to celebrate another stylish year. 


For my birthday look I wore this adorable lace romper I just picked up from Francesca's. It was on sale for around $25 which is a pretty good deal. It has a v-neck and a lower back with thicker straps. I paired it with a bold statement necklace from Baublebar which I picked up from the Nordstrom anniversary sale last year. To dinner I wore BCBG heels but to go around town and shop I wore my go-to sandals of the moment. I am obsessed with these rhinestone sandals from Target. For only $22 they are a great deal! 








Where it's from: 
Romper: Francesca's 
Necklace: Baublebar 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Kendra Scott 
Watch: Henri Bendel 
Ring: Tiffany & Co. 
Shoes: Target

OOTD: Humid Day Look


The weather in Illinois has been super wacky. It will go from hot, humid, and sunny to pouring rain, humid, and pitch black. So, it's hard to get up and dress for an unpredictable day! But, when I left the house it happened to be nice and sunny. Naturally I had to take advantage of the sun! 

For this look I wanted something that was light and comfortable. Humidity is not my friend. I wore this light white collared shirt to keep things simple. By adding a bright printed short I spiced up the simple top. I also love this top because it has this built in tie which is something I have been loving to do with my collared shirts. 



To accessorize this look I wore a bold pink statement earring. This pink statement earring from J Crew is one of my go-to pieces when I want to add a touch of color. I also wore my favorite Alex and Ani bangles along with a tassel bead bracelet from Armed and Readi. To finish the look I wore my go-to watch of the moment from Henri Bendel. 



I LOVE these Sperry Topsider sneakers. They have adorable leather ties that make them a little different from your average sneaker. Plus they go with everything. 



As many of you may know I scooped up a bunch of stuff from the Lilly for Target collection. These shorts I snagged from the kids section. One of the many perks of being short/ tiny is that you can get really cute clothes in the kids department for the fraction of the cost.

Spa Day Idea + GIVEAWAY

Recently I was sent the Zakia Morocco face and body mask to try out. I will say this is one unique face and body mask! This mask is made from 100% pure and natural clay which is mined in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. You can not only use this mask for your face but also it works in your hair. This mask is the ideal component to have a perfect spa day. Whether you have some me time or host with friends this mask is a great beauty item to add to your collection! 



By mixing water with the powder one creates a mask to use on the body, face, or hair! Keep the product on your skin for 10 minutes to reveal soft skin! It also helps absorbs unwanted grease, removes facial impurities, and erases blackheads! This product is great because it is three in one. You can use it for hair, body, or face which is great if you are looking for a dual purpose product.

  1. Zakia Morocco Ghassoul Clay Powder (face and body mask) | As I mentioned before this product is the perfect product for a spa day! Just by adding water you can create a hair, face, or body mask with just one product. Scented candle | Scented candles are the best kind of candles! My favorite are Capri Blue candles. You can find these at Anthropologie or at other retailers. 
  2. Spa headband | To keep your hair out of your face when applying masks be sure to wear some sort of headband and tie your hair back.
