    Fun Floral Shorts & Cami

    Y’all it is h-o-t, HOT in Florida. Most days the high is in the 90’s and the mornings are already well into the 80’s before the sun rises. Now I’m not complaining, but I do have to change up my wardrobe. Maxi dresses are ok for very short amounts of time outside. Pants are out. Which means all the floral shorts in the world and tank tops get to replace them all. I originally bought these shorts to wear to the Flower & Garden festival this year. Because last years festival got cut short, I went all out planning outfits to wear this year. But y’all know me, I don’t…

    Striped Tee – Spring and Summer Classic

    There’s nothing more classic or chic than a quarter sleeve striped tee. If you don’t believe me, ask the french! The iconic striped tee has been a stereotype for them for years. Since it’s basically summer in Florida, I won’t be pairing it with a beret right now though. (I don’t think wool is very breathable. Especially when it’s 90 degrees). If it’s still in the 60’s and 70’s by you, a quarter sleeve striped tee will be perfect for you. In Florida, I can still rock a quarter sleeve tee. I just have to make sure it’s 100% cotton and not a blend that makes it far too hot…

    Best Swimsuits of 2021

    I’m trying not to buy too many swimsuits this year. So far I’ve only bought one new swimsuit, and it was a total steal. I already have about…20 or so swimsuits that I think are just the best. But even with how great they are, it’s not like I can ever get them all worn in a single summer. So I’m trying to really cut back on buying anymore this year if I can help it. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to window shop though. And of course I’m going to share the best swimsuits I’ve found this year with y’all too. Disclosure: Some of the links in this…

    My New Favorite Jean Shorts for Summer

    I’ve been in the market for a good pair of jean shorts. My best pair to date (before today that is) has been a pair I picked up from GoodWill for less than $10. While those jean shorts have been great, and are still easy to throw on, I was looking for a pair that was a bit more “adult”. Mom shorts that don’t look like mom shorts. I had been eyeing a pair from Loft as soon as they hit their website. Then a few weeks later a local Loft store reached out about doing a try-on take over and I made sure these shorts were part of it.…

    Styling a Boat Hat for Summer

    There’s so many summer accessories to choose from, particularly in the hat category. A ball cap, sunhat, and visor are all great summer headwear options. While I love a good sunhat when at the beach or the pool, for more every day I tend to go with a boat hat. (Also known as a boater hat. The “er” really make’s a difference). A boat hat is not to be confused with hat’s you wear on boats (though you can if you like). They are a style that are great both in function and fashion. I find that a boat hat is more appropriate for every day wear because it is…

    How to Wear a Modest Crop Top

    I hope this goes without saying but, wear things as cropped as you want. Personally I’m only comfortable with showing off so much skin if I’m in a bikini. (I mean, I just got used to off the shoulder things for heavens sake). It probably stems for a multitude of things, one of which is, I am cold all the time. There’s a reason I chose to move back to Florida when I had the chance. But really, if a modest crop top isn’t you thing, more power to ya. I like being sassy over sweet sometimes to. Which leads us to another question, is there really such thing as…

    3 Ways to Wear a Matching Set

    Happy May Day everyone! I’ve always had fond memories of May Day dating back to the 1st grade when I was picked as the May Day queen. (In a random drawing. And my May Day king switched because he didn’t like me at all). Fast forward and May Day is still one of my favorite days because one of my favorite people was born today. Never did I think a holiday celebrating spring would always stay so important to me, but here we are. So to celebrate May Day, spring, and birthdays I’m sharing 3 ways to wear a matching set. (My favorite matching set of the season). Disclosure: Some…

    Floral Bag Starting at Under $50

    I am obsessed with my new floral Mini Lady bag from Neely & Chloe. Neely & Chloe teamed up with Julia Berolzheimer to design the most gorgeous floral bag I have ever seen. It comes in the classic Mini Lady shape that I’ve always been obsessed with from Neely & Chloe. I particularly remember the first time I saw Neely & Chloe’s Mini Lady in gingham. It was the first time I had seen or heard of them and I was hooked with just that small look. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve hit “follow” faster on Instagram than I did that day. As cute as the gingham Mini Lady was,…

    Dainty Blue Floral Everything

    Blue has been finding it’s way more and more into my wardrobe recently. Pair that with the fact that florals are perfect for spring and I’ve seen blue floral taking over my closet. Whether it’s a mini dress from last season or a new bag that I splurged on, blue floral is surrounding me. I particularly love this new dress from Amazon that’s giving me all the cottagecore vibes. It’s perfect for the hot Florida springs and summers that we have and I’m so excited it’s finally mine.

    Pink and Green Preppy Spring Outfit

    Now that y’all know I’m seeing sage, I wanted to throw in some more color to this mix. Pink and green is one of my all time favorite color combinations. (It follows close behind red and pink in February). With a limited amount of green and an enormous amount of pink in my closet I don’t get to wear the combo as much as I’d like. (First of all, I don’t even like pink). My options are pretty limited when it comes to this color combo but I do love what I can put together with just this green gingham top alone. Whether it’s paired with a pink skirt, over…
