Monthly May Picks

Ever find yourself in a shop totally lost at which items you should buy? I know I do! Well here are some of my favorites for the month of May! I think that flip-flops and a nice pair of sandals are a definite must have. As well as a bright nail polish, personally I love a bright turquoise or mint! Another item I think every girl should have is a cute little summer dress! It is always good to have a casual, comfy sundress to throw on during the hot days in Spring.

 Do I even have to mention that everyone needs shorts?! Sunnies are a great way to protect your eyes and look cute at the same time. My alternative for dangling earrings are studs because I can swim with studs, and they stay in better. That's all for today! 

Thanks for reading!

Floral For Days

{Top: Nordstrom, Skirt: American Eagle, Shoes: Sam Edelman, Necklace: A gift}

How is everyone doing? I know I am doing fantastic! We finally got some Summer weather here in Washington, and I started to take out all my summer clothes. Plus it is time for the Starbucks Half Priced Frappuccino again, so I definitely know its time for Summer! A little side note: I base my seasons on the drinks in Starbucks ;)

As for the outfit, I wanted something easy and simple, but still cute. I decided to go with a bold bright floral skirt.  To keep the outfit clean and crisp I went with a plain white shirt on top, and topped it all off with a pocket watch inspired necklace.  Did I mention that I adore the criss-cross straps on my shoes?! 

P.S. The bulge on the top of the skirt is from the bunching of my tucked in shirts that I forgot to smooth out! Sorry!

Longing for the Beach

{Top: Hollister, Belt: Lulu's/Nordstrom, Shorts: Hollister, Shoes: DSW/Steve Madden}

Hi everyone! This outfit was inspired by the great weather in Washington, and my longing to go to the beach, hence the title. I am in love with the new shorts a bought that aren't quite black or grey, but more of a charcoal color. The one item that really spoke "beach" to me in closet, but was still appropriate for school and the 65 degrees weather, was a woven belt. Hopefully I will be able to wear my favorite beach atire (swimsuit and sunglasses) soon!

Crushing on Floral

(Images from my Pinterest)

One of my favorite Spring trends of 2013 is floral.  Translating trends you see on the runways to everyday wear can be a little tricky.  That's why I have picked out my top three ways to wear floral!  I love the first top, and how she kept it simple and looking neat with white bottoms.  The second picture has some very bold pants, which she topped off with another of my favorite trends of Spring 2013: Peplum.  As for the third picture, floral dresses have Spring written all over it.
