Hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July! To be totally honest, I got dressed up in this outfit, took photos in this pretty chambray dress with Doug, and then spent the rest of the day working on blog content, watching movies and drinking one of my favorite Bonterra rosés (see my top rosé recommendations here). No raging here for this girl. This is the first 4th of July I've been in LA in a long time, so it was a little bit weird to be here. I was in Venice, Italy with Doug last Independence Day, and I usually go home to Tampa to visit my family. Nonetheless, I'm totally ok with ... [Read More]
Gorgeous Wedding-Guest Outfit For Under $100
Hi beauties! I went to a friend's wedding in Sacramento a few weeks ago and wanted to share the dress and shoes I wore to the wedding. I've never gotten so many compliments on a dress before! No one could believe that it was under $100, much less under $70. In fact, my dress, shoes and the clutch combined were under $100! The detail in this dress from the high front slit to the cold shoulder cut to the cowl neck back is so gorgeous. The color I went with is a pink/mauve color that has a tiny bit of shimmer. The material isn't clingy, but I definitely wore shareware underneath to smooth ... [Read More]
Flattering One Piece and High Waisted Swimsuits for Women (Under $50)
Hello again! Swimsuit season is in session and I wanted to share a few one piece and high waisted swimsuits that I've been loving this year. As I've blogged in the past, I have a long torso so finding swimsuits can be a bit of a challenge (see all of my long torso swimsuit picks here). All 3 swimsuits I'm sharing in today's post are long-torso friendly and ultra flattering because I strongly believe that a well-fitting suit is key to feeling confident! Neon Pink High Waisted Bikini, $36 This is the most flattering and comfortable bikini I've ever worn! I instantly felt ... [Read More]
5 Rosé Wines I’m Loving Right Now
Hi friends, Happy National Rosé Day! I launched my blog on National Rosé Day in 2017, so this is also my 2-year blogaversary! And while we're naming off reasons to celebrate, here's another one- I accepted a new job as Marketing Director at a company in Los Angeles, and I start on Monday. So this wine holiday couldn't have come at a better time! I'm ready to pop open some bottles and spread the pink liquid love. I've been drinking less wine on a regular basis lately, but I've still had the chance to explore some pretty awesome rosés this year. Today, I want to share them with you! ... [Read More]
How to Wear Black Dresses & Tops in the Summer
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I spent yesterday lounging by the pool, drinking Lucien Albrecht Sparkling Rosé and spending time with good people. The last few weeks have been a little bit stressful, so it was nice to unwind! With summer right around the corner, I wanted to share this black and white off-shoulder polka dot midi dress look with you. I try to keep my closet looking light, bright and airy during the Spring and Summer months, but I love finding ways to incorporate dark colors as well. One of my favorite ways to break up all-black or dark outfits is to ... [Read More]
My Favorite Rattan, Bamboo & Straw Accessories To Wear This Summer
Hiiii! I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've checked in here! I could type a thousand words about all that's been going on, but I'll keep it short. The last month has been filled with lots of positive changes! I went to Tampa, FL (my hometown) for 9 days to visit with family and friends, and explore the city I called home for the first 18 years of my life. It was sooo much fun, and I definitely want to return soon! I've also been making a few lifestyle changes, and my mind, body, and spirit have been feeling amazing! My acne (which I talked about here) is ... [Read More]
