Rompin' Around

While shopping at my favorite local store the other day, I stumbled across this adorable romper! I love that this can be dressed up or down for a casual day or dressy night look!

 Earrings // Romper (here and here) // Bracelet // Wedges

This adorable piece is madly Jack by BB Dakota. They have the cutest clothing although it can be on the pricey side I purchased this romper because it could easily work for both day and nigh time looks.  You can dress it down with a pair of sandals or dress it up with a pair of heels. The little bell sleeves have to be my favorite feature of this romper! What is your take on rompers? Are you a fan?

Find me at the Sea!

This Summer I have been spending quite a few evenings at the beach with my hubby. I love how it feels like a vacation every time between the calming breeze and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. I am all about light summer outfits that also give off the vacation vibe. This dress is perfect for those warm summer nights or even as a cover up for beach days! 

Earrings // Dress 

This dress is super light weight which is perfect for Summer. I will say, make sure you wear something neutral underneath as it is a little sheer. I loved walking up and down the beach with this flowy dress! Ripcord and Billabong make some of the best summer clothes, I highly recommend their items! What are some of your favorite Summer clothes brands?

Salty Air and Matching Sets

I am back with another matching set today and this one is a winner! I fell in love with the color and the romantic off the shoulder silhouette! This set is super comfortable and so on trend. 

Exact set (only 1 on Poshmark) Set 1 // Set 2 // Set 3 

This set is going to be my go-to outfit for warm beach days. It is so pretty and can be worn either off both shoulders, one shoulder, or on the shoulders to suit your style! I am so lucky to live so close to the beach especially during the warm months. Some of my favorite memories involve the beach. When I saw this I knew I needed it for beach days! I got this at a local store called B&B, unfortunately I only this in one size on Poshmark (medium, linked above) however I will keep hunting for it! I did link some other cute off the shoulder options above. What do you think of this cute little set?

Beaching on a Budget

Who says you have to spend a fortune on a bathing suit to look and feel good when going to the beach?  I found this amazing one-piece at Target as well as this pretty kimono together for under 60$! Usually a one piece alone cost more than that, needless to say I snagged this beauty right up. 

Bathing Suit // Kimono

I am not usually a one-piece gal, but this season I have been loving all the styles out there. There is a little something for everyone and you can totally still be sexy while rocking a one piece suit. I feel like in the past one pieces have gotten a bad rep of being "boring", well not anymore! When I saw this suit at target I immediately thought of Fourth of July. Its bright red color is super eye catching and the slits up the sides adds that sexy component. This suit was super affordable at a price point of 29.99! What a steal! Also, right now Target is having a BOGO 1/2 off sale, so when you buy one piece of swimwear you can get another 1/2 price! My kimono is a great piece for the beach, pool, or even layering over a cute summer dress or outfit. This was also super affordable at a price of 24.99. What is your favorite bathing suit style? Are bikini's or one-pieces your thing?

Black and Grey Summer Shorts

When its hot out its easy to just throw on something casual and light, but you may not always feel like you have a put together outfit. This outfit is cute, comfy, and cute for running errands or going out to lunch. 

Earrings (similar) // Tank // Shorts // Shoes (not pictured) dupe here

These are the comfiest and cutest little shorts I own. They are incredibly soft and they even have pockets (because who doesn't love pockets!). Here I styled them with some fun statement earrings and a black tank. Not pictured are my shoes which are the Valentino jelly flip flops. Perfect casual outfit for running errands or hanging around the house. 

Let me take a moment to talk about these earrings. I talk about the Sugarfix by Baublebar line at target a lot, however I just love their accessories! They are so cute, affordable and a statement to any outfit! These earrings are a part of their line and were only 12.99! I love adding a fun statement earring to an otherwise simple outfit. 

Would you wear this? Whats your go-to summer look for a hot day?

How to Style a Matching 2 Piece Set

This season two-piece coordinating sets are trending and I am totally on board. I love that these sets can be used together for a put together look or separate. I found this cute beige number at a local store called B&B.

Similar set (top, bottom) // Watch
With a set like this you can use each piece in a variety of ways. The top would look cute on its own with jeans or denim shorts. I would add a statement necklace or some fun earrings to jazz up this cute little tank. The back of this tank is what really adds a little flair.

The shorts are also so versatile as well. You could add a colorful tee tucked in or knotted as well as some fun and colorful accessories. The way I styled this here would also look good with a pair of wedges to dress it up a little.

When looking for a two piece set, I like to find one that can be used for more than just styling together. This one definitely hits the mark and its also extremely comfortable. Unfortunately I was unable to find this online, however there are so many cute sets out there. Nordstrom has a bunch of options as well as I have seen some cute ones at Forever 21.

I also wanted to take a moment to talk about my watch. I received this beautiful watch from a company called JORD Watches (you can see my review here). It is so unique and goes with so many things. I personally love pairing watches with bangles and beaded bracelets. There is still time to enter my giveaway to win 100$ towards the watch of your choice (enter here). Happy Tuesday friends, little by little we are getting closer to the weekend!

What do you think of the two piece trend?

Two Piece Sets: Two Outfits in One!

Happy Friday! So glad the weekend has finally arrived! Today I am here with this cute little number! I have been searching for the perfect two piece set for a few weeks now and finally found one I fell in love with. The best part about two piece sets is you can use both the top and bottom separately!  

Two piece set exact set and option A and B // Earrings // Shoes // Necklace

Summertime always makes me want to wear blue and white stripes. I just love this combination and this set really takes the cake. I love that these shorts can be used with a tee or tank for a dressed down look as well as the top can be used with other items as well. I purchased this at a local boutique but fortunately I was able to find it online! I also did link up a few other cute options above! What do you think about two piece sets? Do you like them or are they too matchy matchy?

Date Night Neutrals

I am always looking for fun pieces I can wear on dates with hubby or to weekend events. A few months back I purchased this top in a bright poppy color and fell in love. Over time the brand began to produce it in a variety of colors. This is definitely a top you will get a lot of compliments on!

Earrings // Top // Pants // Shoes // Purse

This top has been super popular this season so getting my hands on this color took me some time. The beauty of Nordstrom is that they always seem to re-stock the really popular items. When this came back in stock I knew I had to have it even though I had another color. I paired this with some neutral shoes and white pants for a dressed up and sophisticated look!

I need to take a moment to talk about these shoes! These have been on my list for a while and I finally took the plunge. They are absolutely gorgeous and really stand out. I find them more comfortable then most of my heels and they do turn heads. I guess you could say I am a sucker for a good pair of shoes!

All in all, I think this outfit is perfect for a date night or a general night out! I love that it is classy but still sexy. Everything in this outfit can be paired with a variety of things which is of course another bonus!
