Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We took Sawyer for his first over night at my parents house and took him to his first party and it was a big success! He slept through the whole party! So I lied when I said last week was my last bump outfit, this one is my last haha! Free People has the absolute best cute bump friendly tops! I basically lived in my Free People tops my whole pregnancy! I just love this cute henley with the lace neckline! It is so comfy and I can’t wait to wear it again after baby! I wanted to edge this look up so I paired it with some black distressed jeans and accessorized with black studded booties and news boy hat. I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Happy Friday Eve babes! The weekend is finally in sight! Ya’ll can we talk about how adorable this gingham dress is?! Right when I laid eyes on it I knew I had to have it! To make it even better it’s also on sale with an additional 20% off for the Shopbop sale going on until Saturday! I just love how unique it is with the one shoulder and the ruffle detailing. Also the fabric is sooooo soft and comfortable! Since this dress is on the girly side I paired it with some ankle booties to toughen it up and then accessorized with a small black bag and a choker. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend! <3

His & Her

Thank you Zappos for sponsoring this post, like always all opinions are 100% my own

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a his and her date night outfit with a Roe and May dress, Rockport lace up sandals from Zappos and his outfit with H&M jeans and Rockport mens sneakser from Zappos

Happy Monday loves! I hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend! Today I am super excited to have my other half join me on this side of the camera! It has been forever since Griffin and I have done a post together and it was so much fun styling these outfits and taking the pictures together! Today we have a perfect casual spring date night look inspired by our Rockport footwear from Zappos! We always love shopping at Zappos because they have fast free shipping, a 365 day return policy, and the most amazing customer service!  I went with the Cobb Hill Hattie open lace up sandal because you all know my obsession for anything lace up! These are perfect for a day to night because they are soooo comfortable that you can easily wear them all day! Seriously the insoles feel like clouds! I wanted to dress the sandals up a bit so I paired it with a fun black and white striped dress, belted at the waist for some added structure. As for Griffin, he went with the Truflex mesh tie sneaker. Let me just tell you he is the pickiest person ever when it comes to shoes and he has been searching forever for a more dressy sneaker and he absolutely loves these! They are also perfect for day to night because you can dress them up or down and I just think they have that sleek vibe to them even though they are a sneaker! He kept it with that dressy casual vibe by pairing them with a super dark jean and classic grey tee. Does anyone else love getting outfit inspiration from a great pair of shoes?! I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week! <3

Like these fun peep toe ones and laser cut ones! I paired my booties with this fabulous black denim skirt (I have been all about the denim skirts since the weather has been so warm!) and this crochet crop top! As for the accessories, I threw on this velvet black choker from Icing that has the prettiest pearl embellishment! I finished the look off with my new bag from Hieleven and a bold lip.

Leather & Lace

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles edgy black and white outfit, Blank NYC leather jacket, Tillys off the shoulder top, lace up skirt, and Icing choker

Happy Monday loves! I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Griffin and I are still enjoying our long weekend getaway in Savannah so sorry if I am a little MIA today, but I will be back full swing tomorrow! So today I am styling a non-traditional Valentine’s Day look for the ladies that don’t want to go with the traditional red and pink and opt for more of an edgy look. I took this super versatile off the shoulder white top from Tillys and paired it with my favorite lace up skirt. I love this top because it is so cute layered with a jacket and coat but looks adorable by itself with the off the shoulder, making it perfect for transitioning into spring! Tillys has so many spring transitional items like this cute long sleeve dress, romper, and bomber jacket! Ps you can get 20% off any item from Tillys with code ‘shannon20’! I edged my look up by throwing on a leather jacket and metallic booties. As for the accessories, I went with this super adorable fringe choker from Icing. I love that this choker can add a pop of fun to any look! Icing has so many fun last minute Valentine’s gifts too, like this crystal wine opener and phone case!  To finish this outfit off I added a bit of glam with a deep red lip. I hope you all have a fabulous Monday! <3

DSTLD

dstld-jeans-5

Happy Tuesday ya’ll! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start! Ever since I was younger and started shopping for myself, I have always had an obsession with a great pair of jeans! I just have to have them all, dark wash, light wash, black, skinnies, flared, relaxed fit, you name it! Buying a new pair of jeans just gives me a high! So I am super excited I have discovered a new amazing brand of jeans, DSTLD! If you love premium denim but hate the prices, this is the brand for you! DSTLD only sells their jeans on their personal website, so they are able to eliminate the middle man and sell directly to you for a fraction of the cost!  DSTLD jeans are even manufactured and washed in the same facilities as J Brand, Citizens, Hudson, etc but all are sold for under $100! Pretty awesome and the fact that they have one of the best fits in my opinion is even better! I am seriously obsessing over this distressed black pair! They have been on serious repeat ever since they showed up on my doorstep! I wanted to go a little edgy with this look so I paired the jeans with a loose striped tank and light chambray shirt to go around my waist. I accessorized with these ah-mazing Elizabeth and James cat eye sunglasses from the Ditto endless program. Ya’ll if you haven’t signed up yet you seriously need to! I have been having so much fun getting a new pair of designer sunglasses every week and getting to try styles I never usually would go for! If you wan’t to read more about the program you can check it out here, but it is basically Netflix for designer sunglasses. $19 a month for unlimited designer sunglasses or $29 for prescription, delivered to your door and switch them out whenever, pretty much a dream program! You can get your first month free to try it out here! I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! <3
