There’s no denying I’m a complete sucker for tulle. For me, it’s one of the most feminine and lovely fabric there is. As cliche as it sounds, it definitely has major princess vibes as well. Continuing with the floral theme this week, this midi dress has a demure floral crochet design on the chest, a high neck, and a flounced tulle skirt. This dress is truly the belle of the ball! The size runs true to size. I’m in a UK 6, the equivalent of a US 2.

Today’s floral feature is one that I do not typically wear, but fell in love with at first sight.

Talk about swooning! The fit is true to size.

This week is all about floral prints that remind me of the loveliest spring day. It’s a print I wear year round and cannot get enough of. Florals always bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I hope you enjoy the next few days of this beautiful print as much as I do!

Today’s dress boasts a floral bouquet on top of a white background with a pink ribbon around the waist. The sleeves have a darling pleated detail that stand out and give the dress a unique touch. With a fitted bodice and box pleated midi skirt, this dress is perfect for just about any occasion be it a wedding, bridal shower, cocktail party, or simply a day out. The dress runs true to size.

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! There’s something about a crisp white dress that just feels like spring and summer. This elegant number from Chicwish has a pointed collar, flare cuffs, and a darling floral crochet pattern throughout. There is a soft nude lining underneath and the fit is true to size.

Did anyone catch the series finale of The Big Bang Theory last night? It was one of my moms favorite shows and my dad watches it every night in reruns and when a new episode would air. It’s the longest running multi camera sitcom ever. I thought they did a wonderful and heartfelt job with the finale. The elevator works again!! 

Cheers to the weekend!

How I Get My Everyday Waves With MoroccanOil

in

Sweater || High Waisted Jeans || Pearl Hair Clips || 

MoroccanOil Treatment || Beach Wave Mousse || Luminous Hairspray || Hydrating Styling Cream || Perfect Defense Thermal Protection || Dry Texture Spray || Mending Infusion || Protect And Prevent Spray || Restorative Hair Mask || All c/o 

It’s no secret that I love using MoroccanOil products on my hair. I’ve gushed about them before and how the line has transformed my hair care routine. The treatment oil was the first product I tried and was hooked ever since. The oil is literally magic and one I would never go without. My hair is naturally wavy, but still needs some products to help add texture and enhance. After towel drying, I add in a palm full of MoroccanOil Beach Wave Mousse from mid-length to ends. I LOVE this Mousse!! It’s an upgrade from your traditional sea salt spray. It’s a salt-free formula, that adds all day texture and waves without dehydration or stiffness. It also has UV absorbers to protect the hair from sun damage. Next, I add the treatment oil from mid-length to ends. This magical liquid adds shine, silkyness, speeds up drying time, conditions, and detangles. It can also be used as a styling and finishing tool. Finally, I comb both products through evenly and let my hair air dry overnight. In the morning, I’ll add in a small amount of the dry texture spray for a little oomph and finish with the luminous hair spray. There you have it! Sometimes I’ll curl my hair and add in the perfect defense thermal protection on dry hair or the protect and prevent spray on towel dried hair if I know I’ll be styling my hair the next day.

This dress is one of the dreamiest dresses I’ve ever seen. A beautiful blush color with bountiful ruffles set in a tiered placement, this dress from Chicwish is the epitome of spring romance. I couldn’t help but thinking of The Great Gatsby while wearing this or heading to a whimsical spring or summer soirée. The skirt of this dress is also lovely for a good twirl! My sweet girl was also picking so many flowers for me during this shoot. I couldn’t help but to take a photo of all them in my bag. She’s such a doll!

Mother's Day Outfits

in ,

Floral Dress || White Disc Hat || Vintage Kate Spade Bag (Similar) || Sandals || Jackie Kennedy Earrings || Pink &  Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || Circle Hexagon Ring c/o || Ava’s Dress TJ Maxx (Similar) ||

Happy Friday, everyone! For the past three years, Ava and I have always worn matching or similar outfits for Mother’s Day. It’s a tradition that we’re going to keep going for as long as we can! When Ava first saw me in this floral 1940s inspired dress, she said, “mommy, that dress is so beautiful.” She’s really been getting into dressing up and taking photos with me and wanted to dress in her own floral dress for the shoot. She looks so angelic in these photos too. She’s my precious little angel. I was also teaching her how to twirl her skirt during some of these shots. She’s getting the hang of it! It was a gorgeous day outside that we made the most of with many wonderful memories at our favorite spots in the park.

Ava’s dress came from TJ Maxx, which she also wore for Palm Sunday. It’s a great spot to find unique dresses at a great price. I’ve gotten many of hers there over the years. My dress not only boasts a great deal of charm, but also grace with its pink floral cascading throughout the 1940s style embellishments. The bodice has a multitude of pin tucks, centered by a classic winged collar, highlighted by long sleeves (that I rolled up), and a button cuffed for added vintage accent. The wide banded waistline slims and elongates your hourglass while the swing skirt features gentle gathers for a delightful flair. This is one of the most lovely dresses that I own. Everything about it makes me feel at my very best. The sizing for the dress runs small. While the dress does fit, it’s rather tight in the waist. I would suggest going up one size for comfort.

Don't forget to look below for our other Mother’s Day outfits from the past three years! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mamas out there. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Antique Print Dress // Pearl Clips

in ,

Antique Print Dress (Also Here)|| Purple Mules (Similar) || Circle Bag (Similar) || Pearl Hair Clips (Ten Pieces) || Flower Earrings || Circle Hexagon Ring c/o || Pink & Blue Co Bracelet c/o || 

Good morning, friends! What more can I say than I’m absolutely head over heels in love with this dress. The light pink color along with the charming novelty print made up of birdcages, pinned butterflies, and postage stamps adds to the pin-up perfection. The shirt dress with a darted bodice, belt, notched collar, and darling cap sleeves all lend to the flare of the 1950s. Did I mention it has pockets too?! Simply swooning. The fit is true to size. How cute are these pearl clips!! Pearl clips are a huge trend right now, really any hair accessory, and with good reason. They have a vintage sophistication, add some charm, and the practicality of keeping your hair out of your face. I’m all about that. The set I have comes with ten pieces (two of each style) for under $13. They’re perfect for various hair styles (pinning hair back on one side, pinning back both sides, using a clip to pin a chignon…the list goes on), matching with you mini me, or using double clips on one side. Ava was so excited to wear one of the clips so we would match! I love these photos with her and I as well. She really is the sweetest! She always kisses me whenever we take photos together and I was able to capture some of those moments above.

Happy Tuesday, friends!  What a gorgeous day yesterday was! I cannot wait to share some of the photos Ava and I took. After she got out of school, we spent the entire day outside basking in the sunshine at one of our favorite parks. We took a walk, played in the sand, made some new friends, and had a picnic. 

One of my favorite parts about spring are the blossom trees. Soaking in their beauty for as long as I can brings me so much joy. This top from Chicwish has a gorgeous floral pattern, v-neck design with ruffle and crochet trimmings, and elastic cuffs. It is a bit sheer, but I found wearing a nude bra underneath was fine. No need to wear an extra tank top. This whole outfit gives me dreamy vibes from the 1940s, which are absolutely swoon worthy!

Good morning and happy Monday! Mothers Day is this Sunday and what more perfect way to celebrate than matching with your Minnie Me! Ava and I saw these tops and thought they were the cutest thing. Disney always has the best outfits for family matching fun. These tops would also be adorable with some matching skirts. We went to one of our favorite flower parks to take these photos before meeting with some of my friends to take our kids to dinner and the movies. We all saw Ugly Dolls, which the kids loved! There’s some pretty cute songs and a great theme of everyone is beautiful inside and out.

Hello May!

in ,

Similar Pink Polo || Pleated Skirt || Woven Mules || Similar Straw Bag || Velvet Pearl Headband || Flower Earrings || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || Circle Hexagon Ring c/o || Rose Coin Necklace c/o ||

Welcome to my favorite month of the year! So many wonderful things happen in May that make my heart fill with joy. Not only does the weather start to finally turn around (April showers bring May flowers!), but we have Mother’s Day, my birthday, May the 4th be with you for the Star Wars fans, Memorial Day, and our annual vacation to the Cape. It’s a month that I’ve looked forward to for as long as I can remember and still do to this day. I long to be spend time outdoors and May is the month where that finally starts to happen on a consistent basis. So here’s to the month of May, my favorite month of the year!

It’s a priority of mine to always look put together whether I’m dressed in jeans, a skirt, or a dress. On my more laid back days you’ll find me in some variation of this casual elegant outfit. This look is favorite of mine for still being dressed up, yet in a relaxed fashion. The pleated floral skirt is a dream to wear! I’m a big fan of pleats with them being especially fun for a good twirl. Ava and I were walking around looking at all of the cherry blossoms in town during this shoot. She is the absolute sweetest too. I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have her. She loves to give me kisses when we get photos together, which melts my heart. She also kept picking flowers for me and gets so excited to give them to me, which of course earns her another kiss!
