Sweatshirt Lover

I have been FULLY on board with the athleisure trend for a long time now but over the past few months I have fallen completely in love with sweatshirts!  They are so darn comfortable and easy to wear–always have been though.  However, now there are just really cute options.  For that reason I always find one in my cart, ha.  My latest purchase?  This adidas number.  I LOVE the black on black.  So chic right?  And the detailing on the sleeves and hem?  Everything.  What surpised me though was the material.  It feels so good.  [wearing an xs]

I wore outfit on Saturday when we went out to grab some lunch.  We ended up running into a bunch of Ethan’s friends so we stayed and watched the UK game with them and then came home, grabbed the animals and headed straight down to my Dad’s lake house.  We had my sister and her friends over the night before to celebrate her 21st birthday (snacks, drinks, loads of cute balloons && fun props for a photo booth included!) so a night in being lazy and ordering pizza sounded so perfect.

I hope you all had some lounge time this weekend as well!  We have some busy (but super fun) weekends coming up so I was super thankful that this one was relaxing!

ps–as I was writing this post I stumbled across these sunglasses in gold.  I have (and love) the black already and I’ve have been waititng for the other colors to come back in stock forever so I immedately bought a pair.  I highly suggest you snag some for Spring & Summer!

pss–be sure to check out the new goodies that I’ve bought recently here if you haven’t already!

Date Night Look

I’m just going to be honest with you all and tell you that this post is short and sweet because I wanted to go get ice cream last night and I put that above blogging on my to do list.  Sometimes you just have to have a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough in a chocolate dipped waffle cone.  Eek! Bad but SO good! #priorities

But, I did still really want to share this look with you all because I think this top is perfect for a date night.  I love the lace detail and the back is cute too! Just add a cardigan if it’s a chilly night and you’re good to go.  [wearing a small in the cami and an xs in the cardigan]

I wore this look last Saturday and I paired it with these booties.  [true to size] They are SUCH a good pair to have in your closet and I’ve worn them  lot more than I imagined I would.  However–this is a pair that I just got and I think they’ll be great pair for Spring!

ps.. I’ve been on a shopping kick lately & im sharing everything I have purchased lately with you all here!

Happy Hump Day ! 🙂

Spring Break Wear

Trips to the beach in the Spring are good for the soul.  Everyone gets the itch to be somewhere bright after the boring Winter months and I think a little warm weather getaway always helps–whether that be packing up for a full week away for Spring Break or just a quickie long weekend!  But I have honestly always found them a little hard to shop for.  You’re anxious to jump into Summer clothes but you know there will be windy days and chilly nights.

My suggestion?  Add some items like this little white number to your cart.  Something that is a light weight fabric but still provides some coverage.  That way you can throw it on over your bathing suit if you’re heading to grab coffee in the morning before hitting the pool and you can also dress it up a bit by wearing it with jeans and a statement earring to dinner one night.  The off the shoulder style will still let you show off your tan!  I styled it above with jean shorts, wedges & a hat (which is another option) and I think this look would be perfect if you had a day where you were going out for lunch and shopping.

The top and shorts are both Free People.  They are my go-to for casual pieces.  I wear their items all year long, but I always think they step up their game in the Spring.   Here are a few of my other favorites that are carried at Nordstrom:

I sized up one in both the top and the shorts.  However–I don’t think you need to.  The items don’t run small; I would have been fine getting my normal size in each.  I just wanted a slouchy fit in the top and I wanted a less fitted pair of denim shorts that hung on my hips a bit more.

I hope there’s something good about your Monday!  Even if it’s something small!

The Caaaa-utest Sweatshirt!

Goodness–I do not know why it took me so long to buy this sweatshirt!  I saw it online a while back and I liked it but I never pulled the trigger.  But, I ended up buying it last week and it came in on Friday and I could NOT love it more.  See, here’s the beauty of it… it feels like a comfy sweatshirt but it looks like a cute sweater becuase of the cut, fit and caaaa-ute sleeves!  Perfection.  [wearing an xs]

&& here’s the other thing, I cannot believe I bought it in red.  So not me, at all!  But for some reason I loved this color with the texture.  I wore it to brunch yesterday with these fur mules that are getting lots of wear.  They’re easy & fun!  If you’re not into the faux fur then these are a great option too!

I hope you all are having a really good weekend! 🙂

Cross Front Top & SHOPBOP SALE!

So very thankful for yet another Friday!  Who’s with me?!

Ethan had a birthday this past weekend and my sister has one this coming Monday so we’ve got some celebrating to do with our families this weekend and I couldn’t be happier.  I am one of those celebrate everything kind of people–every holiday, every little occassion. Love it.  So when it comes to birthdays, I’m all about it! Follow along on IG stories.  I’ll share tid bits of our weekend!

On to this outfit… I got this cross front top recently and yes, yes, yes.  I love!  It’s such a great one to have in your closet becuase it can be worn for so many occassions.  I always like finding a piece that can be worn out on the weekends, on a date night, to a family dinner or during the day and this top is just that.  And bonus.. it comes in at under $50, ships for free and is available in other colors.  [wearing an xs]

I knew I wanted a pair of heels similar to this so when I saw this suede pair I was sold.  I think it’s really important to have a peep toe shoe to wear now and transition into Spring with that doesn’t look too much like a summery sandal.  These have the perfect amount of substance to them so they can still balance an outfit out while allowing you to get away from boots/booties.  They can easily be worn now with jeans and sweaters but will also go well with denim skirts and tops when it warms up! [true to size, wearing a 7.5]

I also want to share exactly what I got from the AHH-MAZE Shopbop sale that’s going on right now!  This is a great time to grab items you want for the season ahead because you can take advantage of a discount on items that usually never go on sale.

Be sure to shop all my picks here!

I finally decided on a couple new pairs of jeans to try!  I knew I wanted another pair of Levi’s for Spring because I love these SO much so I am trying these (love the high rise and straight leg) and I also grabbed these (thinking they will be a great basic pair to have).

I have worn this jacket SO, SO much so I wanted to give this one a try too.  Obsessed with the fit and color!

I’ve wanted this tee forever so I added it to my cart so my total was enough to grab the 20% discount.  Had to, right?!  (I did save over $100 this way though!)

When I saw this top I knew I HAD to have it.  I love it under a moto jacket or paired with jeans and heels for date night.  I really wanted both colors!

What’s in your cart?  Share with me on IG!

&& side note, did anyone else watch Nashville last night?  So.  Many.  Tears.  Goodness gracious!  I think I might need to stick to Real Housewives for a while, ha!
