Floral Swing Dress

One of my top go-to pieces for spring is a breezy, floral swing dress. They require little to no extra styling and they can easily go day to night with the right shoes and accessories. I especially love this swing dress from Chicwish because of the long, boho style bell sleeves. For today’s look, I styled the dress with a pair of neutral wedges, a saddle bag and plenty of gold bangles. I topped off the look with a floppy felt hat to complement the boho vibe of the dress. This outfit is perfect for a day time date with your guy or happy hour with the girls.

As far as other ways to wear this dress, I’ve also seen taller people rock it with a pair of cutoff shorts. I’m way too petite for that but I think it’s a super cute idea.

Hi everyone, if you follow me on Instagram then you know that I just returned from Laguna Beach and Palm Springs so get ready for a ton of swim and resort wear looks on the blog just in time for Spring Break.

Laguna Beach Trip Essentials

I just arrived in Laguna Beach so I figured there is no better time to share my beach trip essentials than now! As you know from my recent post, The Base of My Daily Beauty Routine I never leave home without lip balm especially when I’m headed somewhere extra cold or in this case extra sunny. I love using Vaseline Lip Therapy because obviously it works great, but also because I love all of the different scents! I especially love the Aloe and the Cocoa Butter for the beach, which are both available at Target. The only problem is I can never find my lip balm floating around the bottom of my handbag when I need it. Fortunately, Gigi New York and Vaseline worked together to create the perfect solution...leather holders with a key chain! Not only are they functional and convenient, but they also come in fun, bright colors. Plus you can have them personalized with your initials so you never have to search for your lip balm in your handbag endless pit of crap again!

Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see the rest of my beach trip essentials.

How To Rock The Body Con Dress!

There is a slight huge change that this dress isn’t actually meant to be a body con dress. However, when you’ve got prominent hips, thighs and a butt like myself, there are many things that unintentionally turn into body con pieces! With that being said, I never actually scout out form fitting dresses, but when I find myself really drawn to a hip hugging dress, I just throw a long tunic or kimono over it. Not only does it conceal any non smooth areas, but it also makes your outfit look easy and effortless with a boho chic vibe.

Neutral Travel Outfit

Today I’m finally sharing this neutral travel outfit that I wore before my recent trip to Rhode Island. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I actually wore this outfit to New Orleans to stay the night before my flight. It’s pretty much impossible for me to look this put together at 4 am on a Friday morning, but I did look this cute traveling the day before to New Orleans. Haha!

In other news, I’m so excited to travel to SoCal tomorrow for a getaway in Laguna Beach followed by a bachelorette trip in Palm Springs so stay tuned for tomorrow’s travel style post on Instagram!

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had as wonderful weekend as I did! The weather was out of this world amazing! I even got to break some of new wedges and sandals.

As for today’s look, not only is it perfect to wear while traveling, but it’s also a great transitional outfit for that awkward phase in between winter and spring. I styled my black jeans and poncho with open toe booties and a fresh ivory satchel for a subtle hint of spring.

P.S. These photos are making me so sad about hair! If you follow me on snapchat, then you know I chopped off all my hair into a long bob and now I miss it! 🙁
