Friday Faves!

Happy Friday Lovelies! I'm so ready for the weekend! I just want to snuggle down with a book, maybe tan a bit, and get to work on some DIYs on my list! Check out what I'm lusting over this week!

First, I'm obsessed with the Ombre Look! It seems to be everywhere! Doesn't this DIY by StyleScrapbook look amazing! I need to get my hands on a new denim shirt and get to work! 

{DIY}

I'm still utterly in love with denim everything. Next on my list of things to add to my wardrobe is a denim vest! They are so fun and you can wear them with a dress, romper, skirt, etc, etc! So versatile!


Next, I'm lusting over this tie-dye maxi! I'm sensing a pattern for this post! First ombre now tie-dye. Isn't this dress fab?!

Finally, I'm on the lookout for some fun nail colors! I'm a total newbie when it comes to polishes! What are your go-to brands and fave colors right now?! 


I hope y'all have an amazing weekend! Anyone have some fun plans?!

Hey Shorty!

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday! How is it already mid-week? I'm loving the idea of wearing a blazer with shorts. It adds an extra layer that gives the look a little bit of a punch. I love the touch of menswear. I'll let you in on a little secret: I absolutely adore menswear! I love the look of a well dressed man. They can be wearing jeans and a t-shirt but if they are well fitted and have a great pair of shoes on---I'm sold! What about y'all? Do you love a well dressed guy? Or does that not matter as much? 






Blazer: UKStyle by French Connection

Let's Splash

Hello Darlings! I've been obsessed with rompers since forever but was never able to find one that wasn't extremely short. I saw this baby online when I was randomly perusing F21 and fell in love. It's the perfect mix of delicate and fun! Rompers are a perfect summer staple. They're essentially shorts but with a twist that allows for you to dress it up or down! Love the endless possibilities!

A Little Bit of Tribal!

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!! Doesn't it feel like this week is just flying by?  I picked up this skirt a couple of months ago during a trip to NYC at a five-story F21. It was craziness--but surprisingly really organized. A lot of the times at stores like that I am super overwhelmed but I loved the separation of the store. That definitely helped a lot!

We actually have a little cold front right now---which I'm excited about---because I got to pull out my blazer and boots! I wanted to "punch" my look up a little bit--so I decided to add a neon top! Perfect for Spring!
