Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. My weekend didn’t last long enough!  If you ask me, Monday rolled around way too quickly. However, that’s not the kind of “Monday Blues” that I’m referring to in the title. I’m talking about the best kind of Monday Blues!  This gorgeous blue maxi dress from Posh Boutique is definitely the best and only kind of blue that I want to deal with on a Monday. Why, you ask? I’ll tell you exactly why! First and foremost, this dress is under $100. Secondly, this gorgeous electric blue color is sure to turn heads anywhere you go. Third of all, after trying on this lightweight flowy maxi with the small cut out in the back, it will be the only thing you’ll want to wear in the dead heat of summer when it comes to dressing up. Last but not least, just because I mentioned dressing it up doesn’t mean that you can’t easily dress it down with the right accessories such as a pair of sandals, casual jewelry and a fedora. Affordable, eye-catching, comfortable and versatile! What’s not to love!

Good Morning readers, here’s to another weekend wishing that I was going to the beach!  I can’t complain too much though because at least it’s Friday, right? As for this swimwear look, what do you all think of the Maaji beach turban. I love it because I feel like it completes my look.  It ties in all of the jewelry and accessories with my swimsuit. Speaking of tying everything in, how awesome are these mesh pants as a beach coverup?  They’re super comfy and you can still see your cute and colorful bottoms through them. What are your thoughts? Would you rock a color head turban and mesh palazzo pants on the beach?

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all having a great week so far and if you aren’t, well at least now  you have a chance to win some Hayband goodies to brighten up your week.  Thank goodness that it has finally stopped raining so we can enjoy some sun. Speaking of sun, I’m so excited to share these Hayband flower halos with you to wear with your swim suit at the beach or with a fun boho outfit to a weekend festival. The goodie bag also comes with plenty of hair ties and we all know that you can never have enough pony tails especially with the bobby pin/hair clip/pony tail gnome running around stealing them all. Am I right? I mean how else do they all disappear?

P.S. Don’t forget to take advantange of the 15% OFF WEAREFRIENDS promo code at Gigi New York & Graphic Image this week!
