Florals and Lace

Dress worn as top: Kohls, Skirt: Closet Swapped, Tights: Target, Heels: Kohls, Simply Vera Wang

The other day after work, Chris told me...get dressed. I'm taking you out for dinner. I quickly opened up my closet door and started changing in and out of a few pieces before I was like wait...where are we going? He didn't tell me and this was the outfit I settled on. I'm really over the cold weather and while I had to wear tights, I wanted to dress in something really springy. We ended up going out to a fancy burger joint...there really isn't a better way to end the day than with a yummy cheeseburger and some sweet potato fries. Such a good unexpected date night.

Muah! Hope you all have a happy weekend!!

Just Like Magic

Dress worn as a blouse: Kohls, Skirt: Kohls, Heels: Nine West, Clutch: Jenny Packham

 It's funny how sometimes when you've been living in one place for so long and then out of nowhere you discover something magical. That's kind of the way this building is for me. I'm in l.o.v.e. with it...there's something about the color that is stunning to me. For mother's day my siblings and I decided to take a photo of all of us for my mom as a surprise gift. That whole week we had been trying to get together but bad weather kept getting in the way...pouring rains, awful winds, and gloomy skies but then Saturday morning everything just fell into place. The sun came out and we found this place and everything was perfect.

Do you ever discover new places in your city?

Girly Girl Rebel

Dress: Ross, Shoes: Bamboo, Sunnies: Old Rue 21, Bobbi Pin: Ban.do

 Most days you'll find me in a dress or skirt with heels...anything that will give me some extra height. But I'll be honest sometimes I'm a bit of a rebel...gasp! and dare I say...wear flats. These are my go to favorite. They are gold and sparkly and that's all a pair of flats needs to make a girl like me happy. 

Do you ever "rebel" against your everyday wardrobe?? Do tell!

Dressing Room Diaries

 When I was going through the process of moving out of my home and cleaning out the closet, I realized that I had so many clothes that were just taking up space. You know the ones from the last cleaning that you decide to keep because you think you will start wearing again but you don't. Do any of you have that habit too? I only brought what I still love to wear along with me but I wanted to add a few new pieces. So over the weekend I went to the mall...Yay! for shopping trips!! I decided to go to Forever 21...they always have the cutest things right? Here's a little bit of what I took into the dressing room with me.

Did you get around to doing any shopping this weekend?

Swan Love

Top: Plato's Closet, Dress: Target, Heels: Thrifted, Clutch: Jenny Packham, Bracelets: F21

I picked up this top while on our honeymoon and it's quickly becoming a favorite. With everything else going on as far as preparing for the wedding, I didn't pack for our honeymoon until the day of. Apparently I'm not a good last minute packer and we had to go shopping the second day we were there...I had the essentials like a bathing suit and sandals but I only brought skirts. That's so typical of me and it just so happened it was really windy out there so shopping for shorts was a must...luckily I found this swan top as well. I'm totally in love with it.
