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. 

Does this mask seem interesting for you? Feel free to use this coupon code for 20% off any products in their store!

Do you want to create your own spa day? Well here are a few easy things to create the perfect getaway at home....


  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. 
  3. Calming playlist | Create a playlist featuring soothing songs. Pick whatever makes you feel most relaxed.

OOTD: Classic with a twist


The classic oxford shirt, a staple in every woman's closet. But, my biggest challenge is to create new and exciting looks with this classic piece. To mix up my classic oxford I tied the bottom of the shirt to create a cropped look. A lot of bloggers have been doing this and I love the look it creates! For a day of lunch and shopping with a friend I put together this casual and comfortable look. 


My shorts are a stretchy jersey material that is perfect for a warm spring day. These shorts are breezy and uber comfortable! They have an elastic waist band which make them perfect for a hardy lunch at Olive Garden. To say we ate a lot of bread sticks would be an understatement.... But, none the less I loved this look for a day of errands. 




For accessories I added a few of my favorite Kendra Scott pieces. I recently shopped their HUGE sale on their website and picked up some great pieces. One of them being this gold and rhinestone cuff. This bracelet is gorgeous and it's perfect for any look. I also wore my Alex and Ani bangles with a Lilly and Laura bracelet to complete my bracelet stack. 

I wore my Kendra Scott earrings from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year. They are a blush pink color which is a great summer neutral shade. Kendra Scott earrings are the perfect preppy statement piece for a classic look. 




Where it's from: 
Shirt: Ralph Lauren Polo 
Shorts: American Eagle 
Shoes: Jack Rogers 
Earrings: Kendra Scott 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani, Lilly and Laura, and Kendra Scott 
Watch: Henri Bendel 
Ring: Kate Spade 
Purse: Michael Kors

OOTD: Memorial Day Weekend



It's Memorial Day Weekend which means red, white, and blue galore! For this look I mixed red, white, and blue in a vintage inspired way. Maybe it is all that Mad Men I keep watching, but none the less I love how the look turned out. 


I paired this adorable navy and white polka dot dress with a bright red belt. This belt came with a different romper but I love wearing it with other pieces. It also has an adorable bow clasp which makes it different from your average belt. This dress is also one of the most flattering pieces I own. It's tighter around the waist which creates the perfect hour-glass figure. It also has an adorable lace detail at the bottom and top at the dress. 



To accessorize the look I wore these red low wedge sandals from Sperry. I love sandals that have double straps like this. I can't wait to wear these more this summer! I also wore these bold heart sunglasses from Urban Outfitters. I picked these up ages ago but they are still adorable! To tie the red, white, and blue theme together I wore my Blair Waldorf KJP bow bracelet, my Daniel Wellington red and blue watch band, and a stack of Alex and Ani bangles. 




Although I don't do anything big for Memorial Day it's fun to dress festive for the occasion. Red, white, and blue is one of my favorite color combinations. I think it is the perfect look for any summer day. 



Where it's from: 
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Belt: AKIRA 
Shoes: Sperry Topsider 
Necklace: Kate Spade 
Ring: Kate Spade 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & KJP 
Watch: Daniel Wellington 
Sunnies: Urban Outfitters
