I usually go to the zoo a couple of times a year with a friend. For Christmas, we got each other zoo memberships. I got us Cincinnati Zoo passes, and he got us Louisville Zoo passes. It was completely unplanned, but it was a nice surprise. We decided to go over the 4th of July weekend, and it was HOT. I wanted to be comfortable, so I wore a cute but very light outfit. Tanks are amazing in the summer. I know black is not everyone’s first option, but it’s my outfit preference most of the…
Versatile clothing pieces are my favorites. I love things that I can dress up or down. I’ve discussed this many times on the blog. I want things I can wear over and over. I found a dress that is gorgeous, flattering, and VERY versatile, so I obviously had to share! The first place I wore this dress was to work. I had so many compliments on this dress, and I didn’t mind a bit. The straps are my favorite part. They can be worn on the shoulders, or down for an off the shoulder look (if…
Leopard is definitely a big trend this year, and I am absolutely here for it. This is one trend coming back from the 90’s that I can get behind. Maybe it’s my forever love for Shania Twain that will also keep my leopard love alive. I wore this outfit to work, and had so many compliments all day. My favorite response is always “It’s from Walmart.” Walmart has stepped up their game so much lately, and this cardigan is so amazing. The leopard print is in right now, and it’s…
Red and black is one of my favorite combinations. I think it’s so classy. I’ve talked about my love for versatile outfits, as well as affordable outfits, and this outfit falls in both categories. I’ve worn this to work, but I think it would be really nice for an after work event also. This outfit makes me feel so sassy… see below. This black shirt is so cute. It fits really well and I think it’s really flattering. When I purchased it, I didn’t realize it would be this…
Feed me and tell me I’m pretty is one of my favorite sayings. I think it’s hilarious. My favorite animal? Bears. Luckily, I found a shirt that combines both those things. Seriously, how adorable is this shirt? Also, the bear implies that if you don’t follow directions, you’re going to get an angry response. Which is pretty accurate if you’ve ever been around me when I’m hangry. I paired the shirt with a simple pair of jogger pants. I love this comfy outfit that’s perfect for…
When introducing myself as a lifestyle blogger focusing on fashion and beauty, I like to look the part. This shirt makes that possible. It mixes fashion and beauty, and I’m loving it. I think this shirt is adorable. And it’s affordable! It definitely fits my personality, which I love. The green makes my little Slytherin heart so happy. These shorts are so nice. They’re comfortable but still really cute. The vertical stripes are really flattering. As a short girl, I love anything that adds length to my body, and vertical stripes do that! I…
The Nordstrom Sale is here. The exclusive (eye roll) early access is over, and the sale is now available to anyone and everyone. It lasts July 19-August 4, and is the time of year when all fashion bloggers put out their recommendations… yeah yeah, I’m no different. BUT. I wanted to keep all my recommendations under $50. I don’t spend a lot on this sale (I stocked up a little more last year, because I won a gift card, woo hoo!), but there are a few items I think are worth it. I am…
Memorial Day was last month, and I kept my outfit pretty casual. BUT, the 4th of July is next week, and I think a similar outfit would work really well. I also went with some themed makeup, and I wanted to share in case you were looking for some inspiration! I even included Remus in the festiveness (I’m always a little extra, in case you’re not aware). This shirt is so cute, and is so fitting for me. I will cancel (or not even make) plans to hang out with Remus. Look at him, can you…
I love being comfortable at work. Sometimes, business casual makes that difficult. I tend to lean toward the casual side. One of my favorite pieces to make a “casual” outfit more professional is a blazer. It takes things from cute and casual to business casual. This blazer is an item I picked up last year on the Nordstrom sale. I think a blazer is a great staple piece. They can be dressed up or down, and there are so many fun options out there. I’ll link a few black options at the bottom of this post…
When anyone asks for workout clothes recommendations, I ALWAYS suggest checking out Walmart. I LOVE their workout clothes. They’re comfortable, they’re cute but simple, and best of all, they’re AFFORDABLE. This post is not sponsored; I purchased all of these items. I just really love affordable workout clothes. And YES, I did work out after taking these pics. Remus and I went on a 2.5 mile walk right after this. The leggings I found were on clearance for $7! Such a great deal. I love how cute these are. They really look like…
