1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9

Happy hump day loves! Another week flying by! You know I love me some fun trends and one that has been huge this season is off the shoulder, and I cannot get enough! They are so perfect for spring and summer and are just too cute whether in top or dress form! I mean how stinkin’ adorable is this gingham and ruffly dress?! Throw on some fun espadrilles and you are ready for vacation! It is no secret I cannot get enough of lace up either so to combine that trend with the off the shoulder like with this top, obsessed! How about it in maxi form! This bold floral dress is just stunning! Also, how much does this cute embroidered top just scream summer?! Perfect for this Florida heat! Speaking of Florida, if you happen to be in the Central Florida area this Friday May 6th I would love for you to come out to the Art of Fashion Event hosted by my good friend Tonya and fellow blogger for The Shoe Maven to support the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research. There will be silent auctions, great food, drinks and so much more! You can get your tickets here! Hope to see you there for some fun, fashion, and a great cause! Have a wonderful Wednesday! <3

Hawaiian Tropic Weightless

Hawaiian-tropic-1

TGIF!! I am beyond ready for the weekend! Speaking of weekend! Who is hitting the pool or beach this weekend?! (insert arm raised emoji) That is pretty much my weekend routine, lets be real other than eating way too much, but being a Florida girl I can never have enough of sunscreen options! Although, I am super picky when it comes to sunscreen because I absolutely HATE feeling greasy! And the smell, yuck! Hence why I am rejoicing to the sunscreen gods for getting introduced to Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless Lotion! Not only does it feel like you aren’t even wearing any lotion, it also smells like a tropical vacation! Sensory overload! Also, it is super moisturizing with ingredients such as coconut, plumeria, mango, and passion flower so you pamper your skin every time you apply, all while providing a broad range of UVA and UVB protection! It also comes in a faces version which I love since sunscreen always tends to break me out! The icing on the cake is the pump air tight bottle! It makes the lotion nice and fluffy and no more doing the bottle shake dance for the last drop! You know we’ve all been there! Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen! I will definitely be buying it over and over! I hope you all have an awesome weekend and don’t forget to apply your sunscreen! <3

IDC Rings for Spring Event Recap

IDC-10

Happy Wednesday loves! I cannot believe we are half way through the week already! Thank goodness because I am more than ready for the weekend! As I talked about last week I was lucky enough to be invited over to International Diamond Center‘s Rings for Spring event and ya’ll I was like a little kid in a candy store with all the beautiful diamonds and jewels! They were having an amazing sale with 20% off the whole store (some restrictions) and 0% financing for 36 months! If you live in the area and missed the event it will be going on this weekend in the Tampa Bay area with all the same sales! Also you can meet my girl Stephanie from Diary of a Debutante! I got treated like a princess and got to try on almost the whole store, no lie, and got to meet some amazing designers and reps! If I wasn’t already diamond obsessed, I think they made my obsession like a 100 times worse, but I forgive them! I dragged along poor Griffin to snap some pics and he kept flashing me the, ‘don’t get any ideas glare’! ;)

Fine Jewelry Trends

IDC-mixed-metals

Happy Hump Day ya’ll! We are halfway to the weekend! So what girl doesn’t love some fine jewelry?! Gold, diamonds, gemstones, yes please! Today I am going to be talking about some jewelry trends that I have been loving lately from one of my favorite local jewelry stores, International Diamond Center. The first trend being one of my all time favorites, mixed metals. This trend really started popping up a couple of years ago and I absolutely love it! One being it makes it easy to mix different jewelry, rather than having it have to match, and it just gives such a fun and unique look! The Michele watch looks so chic with the mix of gold and silver and the mix of metals makes it super versatile. One of my personal favorites has got to be the mix of gold, silver, and rose gold like the Tacori stackable ring set.

Happy Thursday and St Patrick’s Day ya’ll! As I said yesterday, St Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays! Growing up my family always celebrated big, being Irish and my grandmother’s birthday today (happy birthday grandma!) we would always go all out! Of course we would always have to wear our green so we wouldn’t get pinched! How fun is this green culotte jumpsuit?! Or this green striped midi skirt?! They would be perfect for going out to a nice Irish pub! If you are keeping it more casual and enjoying a fun street party or parade, I am loving this embroidered tassel dress and bright green converses! Also, these Ray Ban sunnies just scream St Patty’s Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day and you better be wearing your green! Can’t wait to devour some corned beef and cabbage later! Have a great weekend! <3

Happy hump day babes! With all of this gorgeous weather we have been having down here in Florida, it is getting me all fired up for spring fashion, most importantly shoes! Being a born and raised Florida girl I don’t think you can ever have too many sandals so I am bringing you some of my favorites for under $100! You all know my obsession with anything lace up lately so I have been lusting over these nude gladiator sandals and fun fringe snakeskin ones! If you are going for more of a classic look, these gorgeous studded strappy sandals and denim wedges are perfect! I love that they both can be easily dressed up or down as well! I have been dying to try the platform trend and I just love these cognac espadrilles! I think they are the perfect to ease into the trend since they still have that subtle wedge. Also, I may or may not have ordered them already! ;) What are you all’s favorite spring sandal trends?! I hope you all have a great Wednesday! <3
