casual chic
New York is treating me so well! I seriously love it here! There is so much to do and see! It reminds me so much of Madrid which I love, because it makes me feel like I'm home! Spending all day in the city running around though, it can get really hot!! Its pretty warm here so I wanted to make sure I dressed comfortable enough so I wouldn't feel hot or whatnot. 

Well this outfit was perfect for my day of fun! I felt chic and cute but cool enough to not get super hot! I found these shorts from Zara on sale, and I LOVE them! They are so light and cool! They are the perfect shorts for days like these, but also for day at the beach! And I love the colors on the knit top, its just so different and it went perfectly with this shorts. 

And I loved the little details for this outfit, like the bangles and necklace! The bangles are probably my favorite thing right now, I can't stop wearing them. They are from Ellie's Sparkles, and they are so delicate and pretty. The stones are so pretty, and I love the fact that one of them has my initials on it. And what makes these even cooler is that they are handmade. 

Don't forget to enter the CASH giveaway HERE!!! :) Happy Wednesday! :)

favorite color combo and a giveaway
Happy Memorial Day! I'm currently in NYC, and I'm seriously loving this city, its so pretty and there's so much to do here! 

I have a great giveaway for y'all today so make sure to enter on the Rafflecopter widget below!! But now onto today's outfit! Pink is my favorite color, but I don't actually wear it a whole lot. I definitely wear it a lot in my lip colors, but my wardrobe not so much. When I do wear it though, I try to always pair it with blue, its such a pretty combination of colors, and it makes both colors stand out. Both this necklace and top were such steals from Banana Republic, back when Matt and I were in Vegas, I got this necklace for no joke ten bucks! I love getting good deals on good quality stuff, and its so pretty! And I'm pretty obsessed with this neon pink top, its so perfect for the season!

mind over matter
Happy Friday y'all!! Boy am I SO happy its Friday, I'm leaving for NYC for a whole week tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited, I'm sad to leave Matt behind but it should be a fun trip! 

Today I have a total different look that I love from Aeropostale in their Bethany Mota line. She has some pretty cute stuff that I love! I love everything about this outfit though. Overalls are making a comeback but I love that this is a different take on it, the overall skirt! Its so fun and spunky, and the pattern is super cute. I feel like it gives off a retro look, and how cute is the cropped top I paired it with? Such a clean and cool color plus the way the saying is designed on the top is pretty cool. And both these pieces together are under $50?! Its such a steal! 

I hope y'all have an amazing Memorial Day weekend!! Thanks for being such awesome readers!!!

Happy Wednesday y'all! Sorry I have been MIA from the blog lately. Life has been totally chaotic for me, I work like 65 hours a week and I just didn't have time to take pictures for awhile. But I'm back and I'm featuring the most chic dress that I can't stop wearing! I'm all about cute casual, wearing something that I am comfortable in but also feel cute and dressed up! This Ivy + Blu dress is just that, I have always loved Ivy + Blu dresses, they seriously are so beautifully designed! Y'all know how much I love stripes, so this dress is automatically a favorite for that reason alone, but I also love shift dresses and how it has a popover tank look. Its such an easy going, flirty look that I just totally adore!

with a pop of color
Happy Friday y'all!! I'm so happy its the weekend, I also don't have to work this weekend, so it makes it even better!! I usually work Saturdays and some Sundays, so it will be so nice to not have to work! 

Well for today's outfit I'm wearing my favorite Zara heels with such a pretty top from Shenside. I'm all for black and white pieces, I've talked about why they are a major must have this season in this post here. I love the cool and clean look of this outfit. I kept it to blacks and whites then added a  pop of color with the cobalt blue heels. Pops of color are so fun, and really make a statement for that specific color! This top though...its such a fun type of peplum, I love the ruffle layering, and I really feel feminine in it! Plus its on sale right now, which makes it even better:)

Well I hope y'all have an amazing Mother's Day weekend:) Thanks for reading!!

warm and cool
Happy Wednesday y'all! :) Even though its raining here in Utah(which I'm actually totally loving) we have been having some really good weather lately. I love everything about Spring, and I love that we can wear dresses like this! This Muse dress is my favorite. I love the bright color, and its just such a stand out dress! Orange is actually a color I really like to wear, its not one that gets noticed a lot, but its so pretty and warm. This dress is so light and so airy, its the perfect dress for days you feel like you need a light dress when its hot out. And I'm obsessed with the detailing! I love the lace around the shoulder areas and how it goes onto the back. Any time you have lace in a piece of clothing, you are going to feel ultra feminine. 

I paired this warm toned dress with cool toned earrings. These earrings are from Everly and Ace, and they are the perfect addition to this outfit. I love the color, and design of the earrings. Already the earrings can go with so many different things, but I loved pairing it with a warm toned piece. I feel like they contrast really well together.
