OOTD: Floral Swing Dress


Summer is slowing down, and I have to say I did love my summer style this year. Even if I barely left the house. Mostly thanks to my Loveshackfancy x Target dresses. They really completed my summer wardrobe this year.


This swing dress in particular was an unexpected favorite. I normally don't go for silhouettes like this because I look like I'm wearing a sack. But, this dress is surprisingly flattering! Plus the colors are gorgeous and bright. Perfect for spring and summer. 


I think these dresses will be great to wear next spring and summer. Although they were super hot this past season I really see myself wearing these dresses over and over again! I know I wore the heck out of them this summer. 


I styled this dress with my go-to Lele Sadoughi pearl white canvas headband. This headband was my first Lele Sadoughi and is still one of my favorites. It legit matches everything so it is a great place to start for your Lele Sadoughi collection. My sandals are a go-to of mine for the summer. You can't go wrong with a pair of Jack Rogers! Then I completed the look with stacked bracelets from my shop Shop Sew Cute Style


Where it's from: 
Dress: Target x Loveshackfancy 
Headband: Lele Sadoughi 
Sandals: Jack Rogers 
Sunglasses: Ray Ban 
Location: Naples, FL

Stoney Clover x Hello Kitty Collaboration

 



The Hello Kitty x Stoney Clover Lane collaboration is here! To say I am obsessed is an understatement. So many adorable pieces for adults, kids, whoever! I am particularly loving all of the pink and girly vibes. I've loved Hello Kitty pretty much my entire life. I remember my babysitter introduced me to Hello Kitty and it was down hill from there. The love has run deep for many years building up to this moment. I mean this really is a dream collaboration! 

In today's post I created some design inspiration for the line. From pouches to bags there is a little something for everyone. You could even take some inspo and use blank Stoney Clover items you already own for some of these pieces. 

Did you pick up anything from the collection? Let me know in the comments!

Stoney Clover Lane Back to School Inspiration



Back to school has always been my favorite time of year. Nothing beats a new set of pens, a backpack, and fresh school supplies. I wish I had a backpack this cool for back to school. Whether you are heading back to campus, high school, or starting kindergarten there is something SCL for you. The best part is it is all customizable. You can pick your favorite colors, patches, and pieces to customize.  

I've created some inspiration for some fun back to school items! These are great for students of all ages. Plus will keep you cute and organized for the school year. 

What is your favorite combination? Let me know in the comments below!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: What I ordered

 


Hello friends! Today is an exciting post. I am sharing what I ordered from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I like to say what I ordered instead of what I bought. My strategy every year for the sale is to order product online and in store, see everything in person, then see what I want to keep. This strategy always works for me as I don't run into a ton of issues of items selling out. Purchase now and think later, that is my motto for this sale! Nordstrom's return policies are great so it is easy to return things back to the store. Plus, most of the time in store they don't have my size for me to try on. Especially currently I don't want to be trying on a bunch of items in store. It'll be easier to try on at home and figure out what I like. 

Of course once my items come in I will give you fit details and more. But, for now wanted to go over all of the items I picked up...... 

RACHEL PARCELL PUFF SLEEVE SWEATER | This sweater is super girly and pretty! I picked up the pink color for a super feminine look. This sweater isn't pictured above, but it is for sure worth checking out. 

TWEED HANDBAG | I've been wanting a Kurt Geiger bag for a while, but I haven't pulled the trigger. This one is too pretty to pass up and a great price. I saw the mini bag in store and I prefer it over the large. But I love a great mini bag! It does come in a larger size available here.

STRIPE CARDIGAN | A great fall sweater option is this stripe cardigan. I love all of the pretty fall colors in it! We'll see how comfortable it is.... stay tuned. 

VELVET TRIMMED HAT | I am normally not a hat girl... but I had to give this one a try! It is a gorgeous color and a pop of pink. Very on brand for my pink theme as we transition into fall. Again we'll see if I can pull it off! 

MAKEUP ERASER SET | There has been quite the buzz around these makeup remover clothes. Both my mom and I want to try them so we may split the pack for the two of us. 

ADIDAS LEATHER SNEAKER | I had my mom pick these up in store for me as I am sad they are sold out of the original pair I wanted. We'll see how these end up looking! Not sure if they are super fall but again wanted to test them out. 

BISHOP SLEEVE SWEATER | This sweater I think will be gorgeous for fall! Great paired with jeans or even a skirt potentially. I'm hoping the neckline isn't too low though. 

CAMO TEE | Super cute basic camo tee, and a great price point as well!

MCM TOTE BAG | *My splurge item from the sale* if I end up keeping it. I saw this MCM bag in store and I really loved it. I think it is a good option for people who want a Neverfull look for less + just something different then literally what everyone else is carrying. UPDATE: My bag got cancelled but I am going to try and find it in store. Stay tuned. 

DIP DYE WORKOUT TOP | Another item my mom picked up for me in store! This top was sold out online in my size so happy she was able to grab it in store. 

TURTLENECK SWEATER | I loved this sweater so much that I bought it in two colors *oops. Hopefully it is as good as I think it will be! 

DRY BAR DRY SHAMPOO | I use this dry shampoo on a weekly basis. So it's going to be so nice to have a jumbo size. A great value and an even better dry shampoo. This is the best dry shampoo I've found so far! 

MAKEUP EYE SET | I love Charlotte Tilbury. But, it is on the pricer side so I always try and get it on sale. Excited to see if I'll keep this makeup set. You can also pick up my favorite lipstick during the sale in this lip set

ZELLA LEGGINGS | My favorite leggings on the planet are Zella. Can't wait to get another pair to add to my legging wardrobe. Let's face it we've all been wearing them more recently! Zella leggings are also amazing quality for the price! 

BAREFOOT DREAMS BLANKET | A popular item every year for the sale are the Barefoot Dreams blankets. This year I picked up this cozy white one. I can't decide if I'll keep but how cute would it be for Christmas and fall??? 

BAREFOOT DREAMS PILLOW | I saw these in store and thought they were super cute! Love the softness of these pillows. Planning to put them in our sitting room at the apartment. 

STEVE MADDEN STUDDED SNEAKERS | These sneakers are my attempt at getting Golden Goose dupes. Because at this point in my life I can't justify $500 sneakers. So, we'll see if these fit the bill! 

Still on my list.... 

What did you pick up from the sale this year? Or what are you planning to pick up? Let me know in the comments!

OOTD: Summer Sun Dress


Summer loving had me a blast.... I am loving this little summer dress! The Loveshackfancy x Target collaboration was so dreamy and perfect. I was so excited to get these dresses and I love wearing them. To say they have been on repeat this summer would be an understatement. 


Sadly the dresses are all sold out. But, you may be able to find some on sale at your local Target! I was able to buy some in store for 70% off. I about died it was incredible. 


For this look in particular I styled my LSF x Target dress with a pair of Jack Rogers sandals and of course a Lele Sadoughi headband. This headband is a new favorite of mine. I mean the purple is to die for. Plus it is surprisingly versatile. This exact headband isn't available but I've linked similar options below! 


To tie everything together I carried my go-to Gucci bag. This bag is a great investment piece and I think it is classic. I wear this bag year round and it really goes with everything! 


Where it's from: 
Dress: Target (similar
Bag: Gucci 
Headband: Lele Sadoughi (similar & similar
Sunglasses: Ray Ban
Location: Naples, FL


Now that summer is almost over I am ready for fall! Are you a summer person or a fall person? Let me know in the comments!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: Beauty Picks



My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beauty picks are here! This year the sale has some really great beauty items. From makeup, skincare, to haircare they have it all. Some of these products I own personally so I can attest that they are GOOD. Some of my top favorite brands are included in the sale. Here are a few major highlights from beauty included in the sale! 

Dior lip glow set | Last year I got the Dior lip glow set and I'm obsessed. I love the Dior lip glow product. It is super natural and just gives you a flush of color. Also it makes your lips super soft. It's a cross between a lip stick and a balm. 

Supergoop spray set | Another item I picked up last year is this Supergoop sunscreen set. You get three sprays for a great price. I use this sunscreen and another brand included in the sale, COOLA. Supergoop is for sure one of my favorite beauty brands! This spray isn't sticky or greasy and is perfect for anytime you are outdoors. 

T3 Micro blowdryer | My blow dryer is included in the sale! I've upped my hair tool game to T3 tools and I have no regrets. This blowdryer doesn't make my hair frizzy and dries my hair so fast. It is the perfect blowdryer for anyone wanting to invest in a higher quality tool. 

Too Faced set | This mascara is so so good! One of my personal favorites. Comes with a lip plumper as an added bonus. 

Brush set | This makeup eye brush set is so nice. I have a few of their brushes and they are some of my favorites!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: My Wishlist


In today's Nordstrom Sale post I'm sharing the items on my Nordstrom Sale wishlist. I get to shop the sale August 10th so I am anxiously waiting to pick up my items. 

ADIDAS SWIFT RUNNERS | I bought a pair of these sneakers last year and I've pretty much worn them everyday during quarantine. They are perfect for running errands, walking the dog, or just life. The perfect shoe just to thrown on and they are so so comfortable. This sneaker fits me TTS so I plan on getting the size I got last year!

ADIDAS STAN SMITH | My Stan Smith sneakers are *ratchet* so I am excited to replace them with these! Plus I think these are more fall appropriate. Great for pairing with jeans or even dresses and skirts. 

BAREFOOT DREAMS CARDIGAN | Last year I got the circle cardigan so this year I have my eye on this cheetah print option. I love cheetah print for fall so this is a no brainer. So soft and comfy. Great for travel or just for lounging around. Dress it up with a pair of jeans and boots for a more elevated look! 

ZELLA LEGGINGS | I cannot emphasize enough that Zella leggings are my favorite. They are such great quality for the price. The best leggings I've found and worn. Great if you don't want to pay hefty price tags from other athletic brands. 

TWEED HANDBAG | I've been wanting a handbag from this brand for a while. I had my eye on one this past fall but never pulled the trigger. This time I may just have to get this one! So feminine and perfect for fall or winter. 

YSL LIPSTICK SET  | I have my eye on this YSL lipstick set. It comes with so many colors and I love YSL beauty products. 

MAROON HAT | Normally I am not a hat girl, but this one just looks gorgeous! Would be so cute paired with sweaters or dresses for fall. I see it completing a great pumpkin patch look. 

CAMO TEE | A great price point for this camo tee! Love the pink trim which makes it a little more feminine. 

PURPLE TURTLENECK SWEATER | You all know I love purple and pink. So when I saw this sweater it went on my wishlist! Love the color and their sweaters are known for being super soft. 

STRIPE CARDIGAN | Another cute sweater option is this stripe cardigan. Love all of the colors. Fall but make it colorful! 

ATHLETIC JACKET | I don't have an athletic style jacket like this. A great dupe for the Lululemon jacket that I will probably never spend the money on! Maybe this will motivate me to go to the gym. Probably not but it is worth a try! 

GOLD BELT | I am always on the hunt for a gold belt. This one is reversible to black so it is two in one which is amazing! I pretty much wear a gold belt everyday so it is always nice to mix it up. 

RUST SWEATER | This puff sleeve sweater is so pretty and super affordable! The fabric looks super flattering so excited to try this out. 

BRUSH SET | I've recently invested in T3 Micro hair tools so only suiting that I get this brush set! We'll have to see what they are like in person. But I am liking them so far.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: Items I Own



It's almost Anniversary Sale time! For today's post I am going over all of the items I own that are included in this year's sale. A lot of items from last year are back so if you missed out last year now is your chance to pick them up. Below I've highlighted some of my top items included in this year's sale that I already own. I tried to give sizing information as well. For reference I am 5ft, usually an XXS-XS and a 00 or 24. 


Spanx faux leather leggings | These leggings are always a hot item! Every year they sell out so quickly. I purchased them last year and I loved them for fall and winter. Great to layer with oversize sweaters or longer tops. Mine are TTS and I wear an XS. They are bit long for me but we make it work! If you are taller you should be fine. 


Zella high waist studio 7/8 legging | My go-to pair of Zella leggings are included in this year again. I got this pair last year and I will probably be buying a backup pair this year! They are nice and thick so no worries about them being see through. Mine have held up amazingly. No pilling or signs of wear! Mine are TTS and I wear an XS. 

Barefoot dreams cozy lite circle cardigan | One of my favorite pieces from last year is my Barefoot Dreams cardigan. These ALWAYS sell out so quickly. Last year mine didn't ship out because it got oversold. Then I was able to find it in my store in the exact size I needed. I got lucky! Mine is true to size I wear the XS/ S size. It's a great piece for traveling or for lounging around the house. I like bringing it on trips to wear in the hotel room. Also great for cold plane rides! 


Tory Burch bag | My Tory Burch bag from a few years ago is one of my favorite fall bags. This style was similar to one they had last year. For this year they changed it up a bit so it isn't this exact shape. But, I still think this year's bag will be a top seller! It comes in both black and brown. Would make a great basic bag. 

Stan Smith sneaker | Stan Smith sneakers are a great basic to have! Mine are kind of gross so I am looking forward to upgrading to this new pair. This pair is also more fall appropriate in my opinion. I find these can look a little bulky depending on the style so we will see how these look once the sale goes live! 

Beauty Blender set | During the sale is a great time to get a new set of Beauty Blenders. Last year I picked up a very similar set to this one. I use these to blend my foundation or makeup. Great for any beauty lover! I also think this would be a great Christmas gift to pick up now. 

Briogeo hair set | Briogeo hair products are some of my favorites. I have most of the products in this fun little set! Their Repair Despair mask is amazing. For sure a need to help revive your hair. This set is also great because you can try these products out without spending money on the full size products. 

Pillow Talk Charlote Tilbury set | This Pillow Talk lipstick is my new favorite. Chances are I am wearing it in most of my pictures. It is a great neutral pink shade that I think can work for a lot of skin tones. This set comes with a fun lip gloss too! 

Crop faux leather pants | I have a very similar pair of faux leather pants from Halogen's Atlantic Pacific collection. I love these for fall and winter. They are great to mix up your jeans or other work wear. Also like them for more casual looks too. 

Barbour quilted jacket | If you didn't know I work for Barbour! So I have a lot of Barbour jackets. This is a great piece to pick up if you want to try out the brand! Great price and a great classic Barbour silhouette and look. You'll have it forever. 

Slip silk pillowcase | For more of a home item this Slip silk pillow case is great. Love these for more of a luxe pillow case. Silk pillow cases are said to help with your skin and hair so I am here for it. 

T3 Micro curling iron | I love T3 Micro hair tools. I bought this curling iron a few years ago from the sale. I also have their blow dryer which is also included in the sale! Their blow dryer is fabulous. I've seen a notice in my hair using that vs. my old cheap blow dryer. 

Drybar dry shampoo | My holy grail dry shampoo is this Drybar dry shampoo. It saves my hair on a weekly basis!

Hopefully this post was helpful in learning more about these products. I have a lot of pieces that are included in this years sale so I can help give a lot more details! Do you have any questions on the sale? Let me know in the comments. 
XOXO

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: Zella Picks



Zella is by far my favorite workout brand. The brand is actually owned by Nordstrom so they always have great deals during the Anniversary sale. My go-to leggings are Zella and I've been wearing them on repeat all of quarantine. So, I will for sure be stocking up on some of these pieces. Right now my favorite pair of leggings is the studio pocket 7/8 legging. But all of their leggings are fantastic! 

I've listed some additional Zella picks below because there is just too many choices! 

OTHER ZELLA PICKS 
seamless dip dye workout top | I have a seamless top from Zella and I love it! Can't wait to order this one for fall. 
pink live in leggings | Loving this light pink color legging. Would be a fun way to mix it up from traditional black leggings. 
jogger pants | These would be perfect for running errands or lounging around the house. 
splits ribbed tank | Love this workout top. Looks a little cropped and comes in multiple colors. Around $30 so a great deal!
soft longline sports bra | This sports bra looks so comfy! Plus it is $31 so it is a great deal. Would be perfect for workouts or for around the house. 

I'll be doing another post on athletic wear, but I for sure recommend Zella as a starting point for your active wear purchases during the sale! Do you love Zella? Let me know in the comments!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020: Under $50



There are so many great pieces on sale for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that are under $50! This year I've noticed a lot of great pieces for under $100 or under $50. I love this because there are a lot more affordable options for any girl on a budget. I've highlighted a few of my top picks under $50 in today's post. Currently I'm loving this J. Crew camo tee. It would be perfect to wear year round and is under $30. Such a steal! One of my favorite Beauty brands also has some sets for under $50 included in the sale. I love this Supergoop set as well as this Supergoop Defense Refresh spray set. Another top item on my list this year is this turtleneck sweater sweater. It looks super soft and comes in a ton of colors. 

I've listed a ton of other great pieces that are under $50 below as well!
