This summer, more than ever before, I am feeling super inspired by the clothing I wear. Bright bold colors and soft flowing fabrics paired with warm weather and long sunny days have made me super excited to shop for new looks (especially clothing trends that are fun and make me feel good)!

How cute is this puffy-sleeve look? I am a creature of habit, alway opting for simple looks like basic tanks and tees. Sometimes I go “crazy” and decide to wear a bold color or fun fabric but lately, I’ve become obsessed with the puffy sleeve trend! After so many months in quarantine, I am more excited than ever to dress up any look up with a “jazzy” top.
Who doesn’t love love love a summer romper, especially in white! It seems like forever since I was dressing up to head out to dinner…well, actually, 3 months to be exact!

I have you covered with all of my favorite romper looks! I know that this isn’t the summer that we had all planned but we must make the most of what we have! Health and Happiness!
Father’s Day is right around the corner! This year, more than ever, will be so much more about spending quality time with dad and showering him with sentimental gifts. I personally think self care kits are going to be a huge hit this Father’s Day. Grooming kits, bar sets and home drink mixers are going to be a guaranteed hit and extra useful for dad. Check out some of my favorite Father’s Day gift ideas below. This Father’s Day, it’s all about staying home and spending time with your loved ones while celebrating the father figures in your life!
Making the most out of the summer maxi is a slogan that we can all live by, for just about every summer from here to eternity! The maxi dress is a universal garment that can be worn for just about everything and anything. By now, I’m sure you know, I’m all about staple pieces that I can dress up or down depending on the occasion. The maxi dress if one of those looks that can be super casual when paired with a flip flop or you can instantly dress it up by simply adding a bold lip, statement earring and wedges! Either way, wherever you take your maxi dress this summer, it has you covered! Here are some of my personal favorites under $50:

A full 3 months of not getting my hair done, needing a haircut and hiding my grown out roots has made me very crafty when it comes to new hair styles and accessories. I have actually had a lot of fun playing around with top knots, ponytails and silk hair ties. Not feeling the hair accessories? No worries, tie back your hair and throw on a bold statement earring, you will be good to go! Summer is here and it’s time for slicked back hair, minimal styling and ” just got out of the pool” hair styles. Check out some of my favorite products below for summer hair and my new favorite accessories, earrings included!
