SATURDAY’S ARE FOR THE GIRLS

Hello everyone,

Today I will be sharing one of my current favorite outfits to wear on the weekend! I’ve been loving graphic tee shirts lately along with “flowy” and loose pants. It’s so hot here in Alabama so this is the perfect outfit for the sticky weather. I hate when clothes are too tight and cling to your body. Neither of these pieces do that.

Both my shirt and pants are from H&M I have been in love with that store since they opened a location close to my town. There clothes are so cute and fun to wear and they are all very trendy. The shirt was not expensive at all which is always awesome! I purchased it for $9.99 like WHAT!!!! This shirt is so retro and spunky!

My pants are my absolute favorite part of the outfit! I’ve been buying so many of these loose pants. I love how they aren’t long but not too short they come to the perfect length right above my ankle.

I paid $17.99 for these pants which is actually a really good price for pants!! H&M has the best prices and good quality clothing as well.

My cute little handbag is from K. Carroll Accessories! I have been loving this mustard yellow for the summer time!

THESE SHOES!!!! Guys I can’t even fathom how much I love these shoes. I seriously wear them every time I go out. I purchased them from Target for only $22 bucks!! They were worth every penny!!

I hope you all enjoyed this little outfit of the day blog! Feel free to leave your feedback in the comment section.

FAVORITE SUMMER OUTFITS

Well hello there guys!! It is been quite some time since you have last heard from me. Life has been crazy busy! I have been working super hard at creating good content on Instagram and Youtube for my followers and subscribers. Feel free to go check out both! Here is the link to my instagram & my youtube channel! I am also now on Pinterest and post several of my outfits there as well. In today’s blog I am going to show you all my current favorite outfits. You all know I love to change up my style and I am constantly finding new outfits and trends I want to try out. All of these outfits are affordable and cute at the same time, so it is definitely a win win. I hope you all enjoy! Thanks to all whom have supported me thus far!

OUTFIT 1

                                                                    

OK GUYS!! I am utterly obsessed with this outfit! It is so comfy and perfect for this hot weather us Alabama folks are currently experiencing. It is loose and is made with very soft material, plus, it is so cute! I enjoyed succulent shopping in this little outfit of mine. I purchased this jumpsuit from Target and it is now on sale! I paired this outfit with my favorite loafers that are also from Target. They are white so they literally match everything and they are so easy to slide on and go out the door.

OUTFIT 2

I am in LOVE with this outfit! It is so spunky & fun. This outfit was definitely out of my comfort zone, but like I said, I am trying out new outfit styles and have been getting a lot of inspiration lately. These pants are my favorite part. The early 2000’s gaucho style is making its way back, just in a more revamped manner. I purchased these pants (similar)  from one of my favorite stores, Forever 21  for a great price. I purchased the shirt from Belk a few months ago, but here is a similar shirt that looks the same. I cannot stop wearing these clear sunglasses ! I think they really top off the outfit. They add an extra bit of jazz to the whole look. Clear sunglasses are actually becoming pretty popular for those who want the “glasses” look. I think they are fun to throw on when going out with friends.

— If you look closely you can see my cute little dainty star bracelet  that I purchased from my favorite store, Brandy Melville  it was really inexpensive, and perfect to complete an outfit. I wear this bracelet almost every day. It is so small and simple, yet perfect to give off the look you desire. I purchased my bralette  from Target and wear it constantly.

OUTFIT 3

ALRIGHT HANDS DOWN FAVORITE DRESS! You guys, this dress has been worn so many times already. It is literally the most perfect dress I have ever owned. I love how it is a 50s inspired dress, but yet, has a modern touch to it. I purchased this dress from Target and it is now on sale for only $20. Polka dots are trending right now, and this has to be my favorite polka dot piece. If you look close, you can see the small slit below the bow. I love that part of the dress, because it shows a little bit of skin, making it more modern, yet, it is not too revealing. You can pair this with a cute jean jacket and wear sneakers with it, loafers, or even wedges. This dress allows you to be creative and dress is up, down, modernize it, or even get inspiration from the back ground of this style dress.

OUTFIT 4

This outfit says SASS all over it. I love how it has the summer time look. It definitely reminds me of a southern class outfit with the big white hat I found at Target and the pastel off-the-shoulder shirt from Forever21. I have had a lot of questions as to where I got my jeans. I purchased these jeans from American Eagle and have never regretted it. American Eagle has the best jeans with the best material. I love the frayed ends too! My sandals were custom Jack Rogers  that are the perfect shade of pink! I love my little blue purse from Kate Spade . It is not too small and not too big. It is the perfect size and it the cutest shade of blue. This outfit is the best outfit for a little outdoors picnic!

OUTFIT 5

IT IS GARDENING SEASON! I found the cutest little garden the other day, and could not help but to take a picture in one of my favorite pastel dresses from Forever21. It is so simple, yet elegant. I paired it with my hat from Target and my Jack Rogers.

OUTFIT 6

ALL THINGS PINK!! Everything in this outfit is pretty much pink. I have been loving that color lately. These checkered shorts (similar) are from Dillard’s, but I found a cute pair from Forever21. I paired them with my favorite mauve shirt  from Urban Outfitters. My pink head band  is also from Urban!

OUTFIT 7

RAINY DAY OUTFIT!! I wore this cute red & white button down shirt around the house and running errands in my town. The weather was really cloudy & rainy but that didn’t stop me from getting out! This is the perfect outfit for a gloomy day. I left the last two buttons undone so I could create a cute little tie in the front. The jeans I am wearing, were purchased from a local thrift store and I cut the ends off  and cut holes in the knee to give them some style. How do you like them?

I hope you enjoyed my little outfit diary! Don’t forget to comment & share your thoughts!

Girls Trip To Florida!

This past weekend, my friends and I took a mini road trip to one of their beach homes in Destin, FL! We had such a fun time! It was such a quick trip, but we made some great memories and will be going back very soon for our Spring Break. I am going to share a few pictures from our “girls getaway.”

Bralette// my barrette is from Rue 21 and I love it! It is one of my favorite colors, and it’s surprisingly comfortable. Link below!

Light Blue Bralette

We found the cutest place to walk around and take pics! It was called the Harbor Walk, in Destin. We were obsessed with these colorful kayaks!

My favorite go-to restaurant in Destin, is Formula Fresh they have the healthiest foods and best acai bowls! I could literally eat there everyday. 

 I hope you enjoyed this post! Don’t forget to leave me feedback! Check out my youtube channel to watch my latest vlog on this trip!

Saturdays are for friends and my favorite local market!

    Saturdays are my all-time favorite day, because I can relax with my family and friends and go to my favorite market- Catherine’s Market. It is the cutest little shop in my town for health gurus! I love their brunch and coffees. Local restaurants and coffee shops are perfect for fellowship and spending time with the ones you love.

     This is my go-to meal every time I come to Catherine’s. It is under their brunch selection, and is super yummy! It is called the “Eggs Benny,” and comes with ham, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, all on top of an English muffin. It is the perfect power protein breakfast.

    Markets always have the cutest locations! After eating brunch my friends and I decided to have a little photoshoot! This outfit was perfect for the cold weather Alabama is currently experiencing. My cardigan is literally the best thing I’ve purchased this winter. It is so soft and comfy. I bought it from Hollister and it is on sale now for 50% off!!!

      I am so blessed with the best of friends. I have learned what true friendship is through these girls, and what a true bond is. There is never a dull moment with my friends. Now that I am older and more mature, and living on my own as a college student, I have come to the realization that I need to surround myself with positivity, honesty, and loyalty. I finally found my, “friend group” in life, and as many of us separate and go our own ways, I know at the end of the day what it is like to have true friends. Many girls struggle with finding their own “group,” as I did as well. But once you put yourself out there in this crazy world, and show people your originality, you will begin to notice the friends that stay, and the friends that fade away. That is when you will know who your true friends are. I have had to let many friends go along my journey, but my true friends will always know who they are.

        I absolutely love necklaces!! The necklaces Ashton and I are wearing are perfect for literally every outfit. They are super cute and look great stacked with other necklaces! Raw and Rebellious has the cutest stackable necklaces, but they can be on the pricey side. Both of our necklaces are from Happy Go Lucky  and were for a really good price. They have the cutest necklaces!

Winter Wear for the Upcoming Holidays!

I’ve been on vacation for the past few days spending time with family in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee. It has been freezing the whole trip, so luckily I packed several warm outfits! This was one of my favorite outfits I packed! It was perfect for the weather, and could be easily layered.

I spent a lot of time walking, so comfy shoes were a necessity! I picked these cute booties up from Belk! They were super cheap and great for the weather. I’ll link a couple choices below!

Girls Guide to a Cute Dorm with a Tight Budget

 I remember the excitement, eagerness, and anticipation within me, as I tried to decide how to decorate my dorm. This was a special time in my life. It was my first time moving out, being independent, and making decisions on my own. It was my turn to finally design my own room, and I couldn’t be happier. The only problem was, I did not have the money I needed to complete the look I was going for! So, I decided to turn to Target for most of my inspiration. 

I knew the colors I wanted were purple, cream, and gold. I found the inspiration from Aspyn Ovard’s Blog and YouTube channel! Here’s the link!! Check them out! http://aspynovard.com/ This comforter was the perfect match for the image I had created. This bedding was from one of my favorite stores, Urban Outfitters! https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/reversible-linen-blend-duvet-cover?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=060

The Purple pillow really brought out the purple within the comforter! I purchased mine at a local store, but I found one from Target that is very similar! https://www.target.com/p/linen-throw-pillow-cover-threshold-153/-/A-51389305#lnk=sametab

I think the wooden headboard was the perfect fit for the colors of the room. I had a family friend build it for me, and then I distressed the headboard with white and gray paint. The wired chandelier added a great touch to the room. I found mine for a super cheap price at Ross! Here is a similar one! https://www.wayfair.com/Mistana-Downs-1-Light-Geometric-Pendant-MTNA2159-L6087-K~MTNA2159.html?refid=GX139276267842-MTNA2159&device=m&ptid=352416763191&targetid=pla-352416763191&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn8zbw_y01wIVklx-Ch3FygGlEAQYFSABEgKZO_D_BwE

 I have really enjoyed this section of my room! I love having a desk that I can decorate and accommodate to my style. Believe it or not, having a cute desk actually makes me want to do my school work! The wooden wall shelves are so cute to me! I purchased them at Urban Outfitters as well!! https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/carter-triangle-bracket-wall-shelf?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=028&quantity=1&type=REGULAR

I’m obsessed with all things succulent! The gold pot makes it even better! Succulents are the perfect piece of decor to add to your room when running out of  ideas! https://www.target.com/p/artificial-plant-in-white-pot-medium-threshold-153/-/A-50940630#lnk=newtab

The small, circular mirror is perfect for when you are applying your makeup, and it even has an attached tray at the bottom for other small trinkets! I purchased it from Target for super cheap! https://www.target.com/p/vanity-mirror-88-main/-/A-52174507#lnk=sametab&preselect=52161977

I am obsessed with the gold grid! It’s perfect for clipping on your current favorite pictures. https://www.target.com/p/wall-grid-gold-threshold-153/-/A-51801922#lnk=sametab

The white lamp may be small, but it sure does put off a ton of light! It’s perfect for those late night study sessions! https://www.target.com/p/table-lamp-led-white-room-essentials-153/-/A-52002138#lnk=sametab

White looks classy and elegant at all times. I love the white frames I have on my desk! I picked these up from Michael’s! http://www.michaels.com/white-frame-with-mat-lifestyles-by-studio-decor/10146234.html?mkwid=sIus0cLXJ%7Cpcrid%7C221858948556%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cpdv%7Cm%7Cprd%7C10146234&cm_mmc=zadv_PLASearch-_-google-_-frames-RLSA-_-frames-wall-frames-matted&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=frames-RLSA&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=sjpNry5YQ%7Cpcrid%7C221858948556%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cpdv%7Cm%7Cprd%7C10146234&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_bTBsPax1wIVBVgNCh0CrwQyEAQYByABEgLuiPD_BwE

Rock salts are super cute, and a great piece of decor to hold your books up! https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/himalayan-ionic-crystal-candleholder-in-natural-set-of-2/1042778158?skuId=42778158&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_homedecor_online&product_id=42778158&adtype=pla&product_channel=online&adpos=1o2&creative=224261255003&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&mrkgadid=558403019&mrkgcl=609&rkg_id=h-8c7e02918ea837153f5da96dcb784251_t-1510207449&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxoDUjOmw1wIVnrXACh2dHgLtEAQYAiABEgJXNfD_BwEL

I don’t know what I would do without my Lilly Planner! I take it everywhere I go. It has been a life saver, because I am so forgetful!

I promise, you do not want to know what the chair looks like underneath all the glam! It was horrendous! I picked up this super cute “chair cover” A.K.A a rug, at my local Target! It’s such an easy way to spice up your room and allow something ugly to look pretty again! https://www.target.com/p/faux-fur-rug-3-round-white-pillowfort-153/-/A-51583954?lnk=rec|dlp|search_bought|dlp|51583954|0

 This full length mirror is perfect for an on-the-go outfit change! I love checking out my outfit, and sitting in front of it and curling my hair! Plus, it was super cheap! https://www.target.com/p/framed-mirror-white-room-essentials-153/-/A-13568567?sid=1825S&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Home+Decor+Shopping_Brand&adgroup=SC_Home+Decor&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=m&location=9012817&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4CUuoG11wIVD7jACh1xGg0sEAQYASABEgLcEvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

The top of my dresser is perfect for storing my makeup, perfumes, and jewelry! 

  My 3 tear makeup storage containers are from Bed, Bath and Beyond! They are perfect for the small amount of makeup I have, and they are great for organizational purposes. https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/clear-3-drawer-cosmetic-organizer/1041660119?skuId=41660119&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_bath_online&product_id=41660119&adtype=pla&product_channel=online&adpos=1o14&creative=224060487099&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&mrkgadid=3245450013&mrkgcl=609&rkg_id=h-8c7e02918ea837153f5da96dcb784251_t-1510245092&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo5qxrfWx1wIVhz2BCh2JCgeYEAQYDiABEgLgT_D_BwE

My purple blackout curtains have been a life saver for those mornings I get to sleep in…which is not very often! I highly recommend purchasing blackout curtains, because my room feels like it is still night time throughout the entire day! I purchased mine for a great price at Target! https://m.saks.com/pd.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446956059&site_refer=CSE_GGLPRADS001&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1eCAvfSx1wIVFBuBCh23VQAZEAQYBCABEgJifPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&productCode=0400089765091


 As a current college student, I recommend purchasing a tall, narrow night stand. I say this because you will want to lift your beds height, and there is not much space for a bulky table! I could not find the link to this exact table that I purchased at Ross, but I found a few similar tables!
