There’s only a couple things better than the feeling of looking at the beautiful summer blue sky with a new pair of shades on. I don’t know about you but I get overly excited when I get my hands on some stylish, affordable sunglasses, so excited that I never want to take them off. Have you all heard of Warby Parker? Among many things, there are { T H R E E } things that pop out about this company that I absolutely love!!
The first and ultimate thing is the fact that they give back. A large percentage of the world can’t afford to buy glasses, which means people are not able to learn or work effectively. Warby Parker has generously teamed up with non-profits such as VisionSpring so that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair will be distributed to someone in need.
The second thing I love about this company is their “Home Try On” abilities. This aspect of the company allows a customer to choose 5 pairs of sunglasses or prescription glasses that they will ship to you for 5 days. That gives you plenty of time to get a feel for all of glasses before you have to send them back. They’ll send you a fresh new pair of the ones (or more) you love. Can you honestly tell me another company that does that?
The third thing is their limited edition Field Series Line that was launched this summer. The new line has 3 distinct styles with 2 colors to choose from. The polarized frames are perfect for taking in that beautiful, summer, blue sky I mentioned earlier.
This limited edition set of sunglasses need to be your next summer purchase. The freedom they give you to dress them up however you decide is one of my favorite things about them. Warby Parker is located all over the United States. Their products can also be found on their website www.warbyparker.com.

As some of you may know, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale has been going on and still open until the beginning of August, so shop away! I FINALLY received my last package in the mail, and I absolutely love all of the items I picked out, thanks to my favorite bloggers!! The items I bought are super affordable; some are sold out already but others are still in stock! Most of the items I bought are year-round pieces, but some are Fall staple pieces you can mix-n-match with your favorite outfits. So is it bad to say, I AM READY FOR FALL already!!!! Are you ready to see all my best picks from the Nordstrom sale? Well, I am ready to share…… 🙂
From left to right:
Now you may be wondering about all these simple pieces, and how to mix & match them. I’ve put a few outfits together to show all of you! I can’t wait to get these on and take some photos for you, but this will do for now 🙂
For this look, I used the Vigoss Denim, Lush Basic Tee in white or grey (interchangeable), BP Olive Green Cargo Jacket, Tory Burch sandals, and jewelry to dress it up, of course!
Another cute look for this Cargo Jacket is pairing it with this BP blanket scarf in the cooler months! Love love love!!!
Loving this Lush Cross Up Shirt, I wore it the other day out to dinner with friends and it is thin enough to wear for summer. It is the perfect shirt all year-round. You can wear it with a pair of jeans or shorts, with sandals or boots. The look is up to you 🙂
This beautiful Leith Dolman dress is perfect! You can wear it as a summer dress with sandals and cute gold jewelry! Orrrrrr another look for this dress is…
As you can see, it really is the PERFECT dress!!! Unfortunately, this BP blanket scarf is already sold out, but I really can’t wait to wear it when Fall rolls around!
Last but not least, this burgundy blouse by Lush is thin enough to sport during summer with this cute Phase 3 wool hat and shorts for the day time, or jeans by night. This blouse & hat are still available on the Nordstrom website!!!
As you can see I am super excited and happy with all of my purchases from the #Nsale. I can’t wait to finally wear some of these items! If you have shopped the sale, what are your most favorite pieces? If you haven’t yet, then Happy Shopping to you <3

At the beginning of every week, I start to research and decide what I want to blog about for the upcoming week. There were literally a thousand things I wanted to write about for this post, so I decided to do a “Current Obsession” post. With the Anniversary Sale going on at Nordstrom (like a Black Friday for Nordstrom) and many personal products that I love, I have so much I want to share.
If you don’t know what the Anniversary Sale or #Nsale is, Nordstrom has a MAJOR sale every year where they bring in BRAND NEW ARRIVALS at SUPER SALE PRICES!!! So all the new Fall fashions are on the sale right now. The sale opened up July 14th, but it was an early access for Nordstrom Card Holders only. Today, July 22nd, it opens up to the public, so ANYONE can shop!!! If you are in a shopping mood, head over to Nordstrom and shop shop shop! I will share what I bought and my personal favs from the sale as well.
One of my favorites from the #Nsale is the “Karly” Shift Dress by Lush. This dress is gorgeous, comes in 8+ colors, and only $31 right now. Definitely a steal and such great quality. I added the link above so you can check it out for yourself. 🙂
My next fav from the #Nsale are basic tees. One of my favorite summer looks is jean shorts and a basic tee with cute lace up shoes or espadrilles. So simple but stylish. Lush makes the perfect basic tee, I bought it almost in every color. They are on sale right now for $15!!
I can’t wait to share the other items I bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I have to patiently wait for everything to come in the mail! Sad……… so I wanted to share other products that I am currently obsessing over that doesn’t have to do with the #Nsale 🙂
First: Limencello Candle from B&BW – my absolutely favorite!! I originally bought it to try it out because all my friends were obsessing over it so I figured why not? Well, I went back and bought three more… it just makes your house smell so lemony fresh and its such a soft smell, if you know what I mean. I recommend it 100%!
Second: ANY pink polish for summer, the last 3 months my nails have been various shades of pink. Not ashamed…. it is such a pretty color for summer!!
Third: Chanel lipgloss, one of my friends sadly told me that this color was only a limited edition which is unfortunate. If I knew, I would’ve bought more!! Chanel has a ton of colors in this certain lipgloss that I am not worried you couldn’t find one you loved.
Fourth: Hempz Herbal Body Moisturizer in Vanilla Plum, I bought this only a few weeks ago and have used it every day. It comes in lots of different scents and it took me about 20 minutes to find out the one I wanted. I wanted them all!! Lol! I linked Ulta which they are $16.99, but I actually found this one at TJ Maxx for $12.
Fifth: Tartlette In Bloom eyeshadow palette – I bought this in the spring, but have used it almost daily this summer. The colors are so neutral and pretty for summer, it barely looks like you have anything on! Love it and recommend it. It also smells like chocolate! 😛
Sixth: Anything book by Lauren Weisberger – her books are great for a quick summer read if you are into that sorta thing! Loving this book right now “Chasing Harry Winston”!
Seventh: One more of my favorite this summer is the colored drink from Starbucks! My favorite though is the #OrangeDrink. I am obsessed with oranges and mangos so naturally its my number one. If you haven’t tried it yet, please try it!!! The ingredients are Orange/Mango Juice, Vanilla Powder, and Coconut Milk.
What are your current summer obsessions? I would love to hear and maybe try out for myself 🙂 Don’t forget to follow my adventures on Instagram!

I don’t know what is more rewarding in the fashion world than finding THE perfect, inexpensive LBD (little black dress) for summer. There are so many options with just one piece of clothing, you can add heels and a leather jacket to dress it up or kick on some chucks and throw on a flannel to make it casual, the choice is yours. That is why I am obsessed with pieces like a little black dress, because they go with whatever my mood is. Don’t mind my iPhone photos, it was all I had. 😉
LBD: sold out from Forever 21, super affordable and similar here | Flannel: you can use any color or style, mine is from Charlotte Russe | Shoes: sold out from Altar’d State, but similar here | Handbag: Michael Kors, same style but smaller here (on sale), or similar handbag here
LBD ft. the #pinkdrink from @Starbucks. Highly recommend if you have never tried it 🙂 tastes like strawberry milk x 10000000.

Fourth of July is such a FUN holiday. It is the day we celebrate the United States becoming an INDEPENDENT nation. From backyard BBQs, lake parties, beach days, to dressing up for a dinner cruise or getting cocktails with friends, your wardrobe choice is VERY important. Dressing up is so exciting to me, being the girly-girl that I am. One of my favorite quotes ever is, “Dress up starts at age 5, and truly never ends.” <– so accurate!
You can dress this red romper up or make it casual with sandals or booties. Either way, it is a GO-TO piece for this weekend. With the big bell sleeves, a simple gold bracelet is enough. You can add a fun statement piece for a necklace or go with hoop or fashionable earrings. The best thing about this romper is it has pockets!
Romper: Lavender Brown, this romper is no longer available on their website, so I linked Forever21 red rompers, still just as adorable!! || Shoes: Sam Edelman || Sunglasses: Ray-Ban || Handbag: Kate Spade, they don’t have the same one as shown above, but I linked others.
Another color you could go with this weekend is WHITE. Of course, anything matches with white. This romper is to-die-for and I am so EXCITED to finally wear it as it has been sitting in my closet for a couple of weeks!!! 🙂
Romper: Gianni Bini || Necklace: BP from Nordstrom || Shoes: Steve Madden, not the exact platform wedges but close enough || Handbag: Steve Madden
What are your plans for the 4th of July? I hope you all have a blast!!!

If you’re a girl and you are into reading blogs/blogging, then you know the feeling when your phone buzzes with that e-mail that one of your favorite bloggers just went LIVE with a new blog post. I get absolutely thrilled! I love reading their content or seeing their new photos on Instagram. It gives me inspiration for my own blog and the person I want to become. They are so fun, inspiring and so full of life that you can’t HELP but LOVE them!
My absolute FAVORITE blogger ever is Emily Ann Gemma with The Sweetest Thing. I literally follow her on everything, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and of course her actual blog. Her style is my style. She wears the cutest outfits, has the best handbags, and can’t forget her adorable little pup, Fitz who stars in most of her snaps. Her blend of beauty, travel, lifestyle, and fashion is the perfect mix to any blog. Her home decor and how she decorates her house is to die for, it makes me want to sell everything in my house and start from scratch. Oh and her PERFECT PERFECT hair!!!!
My next favorite blogger is Caitlin Coving, author of Southern Curls and Pearls. I also follow her on many social media sites. Caitlin and Emily (Blogger above) are actually friends and hang out a lot which is adorable to me. Like Emily, Caitlin has a super cute, preppy style that I absolutely love! I watch these girls snapchats and pretty much consider them “friends” because I can relate to everything they are talking about. Funny, right?!
The last blogger is actually a new one, I recently started following Katey McFarlan, author of Chronicles of Frivolity. Her bright, outgoing personality is inspiring, and I love reading her blogs. I only follow Katey on Instagram and of course, her blog site. Like Emily, her home decor is gorgeous and inspires me to redecorate. She also has a super cute pup that I am obsessed with. Her style is more simple with cute statement pieces.
I know everyone has a favorite blogger, so who is it? I would love to know, so I can start following them. New inspiration is always a good thing. 🙂

This headline could mean LOTS of things, but today’s blog post is about my favorite lip shades this summer. I am OBSESSED with a good lipstick/gloss especially the fun, summer colors. I own about every shade of pink there is. As you can see in the pictures below, they are my absolute GO-TO when I am shopping at Sephora or Mac. The three colors I am sharing with you all today are Chanel pink gloss #214, Mac’s cremesheen Creme Cup AB4, and the newest in my collection is Tarte’s Tarteist glossy lip paint in Obvi. I love love LOVE Tarte’s names for all their lip colors, they relate to twenty-somethings and are just too cute.
First on the list is Chanel pink gloss #214 which is my favorite shade of glossy pink. I actually have a story to go along with this gloss too…
When I was in New York City in March, I went into this store in Chelsea called Jeffrey’s. To much of my surprise, the group of girls I was with and I ran into KATY PERRY there shopping. My first reaction was to pick the cheapest thing in the store (which was the lipgloss) and go pay for it because Katy was up at the register paying for her stuff but I’m not going to lie, I mainly wanted to see her adorable little pup. So there you have it, my impulse buy ended up being my favorite gloss. 😛
The next two glosses don’t have cool stories so I am sorry about that! On the list next was Mac’s Cremesheen Creme Cup which I’m almost out of because I have used it so religiously.
Last on the list is definitely my newest, but still so fun! It is the Tarte’s Tarteist Gloss Lip Paint in Obvi. It is more of a nude shade than a pink, but I had to try it out.
There you have it. What are you all GO-TO lip shade? I would love to know so maybe I can check it out as well. 🙂
