Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you saw my Instagram post last night, then know that nothing gets me more motivated to workout than new fitness apparel! Not to mention the fact that swimwear season is upon us! If you’ve been needing some extra motivation to get yourself in the gym, today is your lucky day because I’ve partnered up with VOLA Sportswear to give you 20% OFF your entire purchase as well as chance to win a pair of their printed marble leggings! We will announce the three lucky winners next Tuesday, March 24th! Good Luck!

Sizing for leggings: I usually wear a 2-4 or 26 in bottoms and I got the small in the legging and they fit perfectly. They’re a thinner material which makes them great for the warm temps headed our way.

P.S. I just want to let you know that you will rarely ever see me getting my fitness on outside! Way too hot in Louisiana for that! I’m more of a gym class girl or p90x inside! The only time you’ll ever see me running outside is if Blake bribed me with some treat I’ve been wanting. However, I do enjoy walking outside with an occasional five-minute jog in between! Haha!

Thank you to Vola Sportswear for bringing you this post. All opinions are my own.

Friday Faves: 1) Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing my Friday Faves just in time for the weekend starting the with the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. If you know me at all, you know that I rarely ever wear makeup during the day. However, I don’t have flawless skin so I always like to wear some type of coverage as well as SPF to protect my face from the sun! Sometimes I brush on a little loose mineral powder, but lately I’ve been needing extra coverage so I started using Bare Minerals’ new Complexion Rescue, a tinted hydrating gel cream. I love using it as an everyday base foundation before finishing with loose Golden Tan mineral powder.  It’s great for the day time and causal weekends because it’s a lightweight naturally radiant gel cream, but it still gives you a nice medium coverage.  It’s a like a BB cream, a CC and a tinted moisturizer mixed all in one!

Friday Faves: 2) Hazen Jewelry

During the spring and summer, I love to wear layers and layers of colorful jewelry and I recently added the beautiful Hazen Jewelry bracelets to my stack! Don’t you love the unique shapes and colors of these beads?

Friday Faves: 3) GiGi New York Tori Tote

I’m usually more a structure tote kind of girl, but I decided try a floppy unlined tote in saddle for spring. I’ve only owned it for about a week and I have already fallen in love with it! I just feel so effortlessly cool and casual when I’m carrying it! If you’ve been looking for a beautiful leather tote for year round use, I highly recommend the Tori Tote! It even comes in a gorgeous cobalt blue and salmon color too!

Good Morning readers, here is the printed romper you’ve all been waiting for! When I initially saw the Blakely romper in this wave print, I was hesitant to try it on because there were so many colors mixed into the print. I’m so glad I slipped it on though because I ended up loving it! Isn’t it weird how things can look totally different once you try them on? That’s why I always give things a go even if I’m not 100% feeling it on the hanger!  You’d be surprise how many things you’ll fall in love with that you didn’t like on the hanger, and how many things you’ll hate that you thought you were obsessed with on the hanger!

As you can see in today’s post, I styled this printed romper two different ways. First, I wore it with my peep toe Dolce Vita booties, the Jenn Bucket Bag and a simple necklace for a day time look. Then I swapped out the booties and bucket bag for ankle strap pumps and a textured clutch.  Lastly, I added a beautiful gold statement necklace to completely transition the outfit into a night time look. I think this romper would also look awesome with a pair of black open toe ankle strap pumps for an edgier night time outfit as well. What do you think? How would you wear this romper?

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing another designer swimwear look with Orchid Boutique from my recent girl’s trip to Laguna Beach, CA. I know I wrote about the amazing Southern California weather in my last post, but really though…it was absolutely perfect! I’m really missing that bright sun with a slight breeze and those loud crashing waves right about now as I sit here writing my post in rainy and muggy Louisiana.

Anyway, about this swimwear look…I am loving everything fringe this season including bags, jewelry, shoes, coverups and even clothing, which is exactly why I chose this fringe kimono from Orchid Boutique. It looks super cute over my L Space wrap top and high waist bottoms, and it even looks cute with cutoff shorts and a tee too!  Orchid Boutique carries a wide range of designer swimwear, resort wear, shoes and accessories so they have you covered in all areas of beach style!

Did you notice anything different looking about my accessories? Perhaps some new additions? Over the next few posts, you’ll start to notice my new obsession with tassel bracelets and flash tattoos! These metallic flash tatts are just so cool and Orchid Boutique offers a killer selection of jewelry tattoos! Make sure to stock up before it’s too late. I tried to get them so many times last year, but they were always sold out everywhere so this time I decided to buy them earlier in the season. They look awesome with swimwear plus they’re great for festival season too. What do you think? Will you be rocking flash tatts this spring and summer?
