Tickled Pink

What's a more perfect outfit to wear on your birthday then a pouffy pink skirt!? I'm celebrating 29 fabulous years today and there's nothing better than feeling like a princess.

This magenta skirt from H&M is just perfection! I'm obsessed with midi length skirts, especially paired with a crop top. Personally, I prefer a shrunken top versus the crop top, it covers just a bit more skin than a crop top and is much more accessible for everyday wear.

Colorful Spring Layers

If I had to pick a season that best fit my style, it would most definitely be Spring. I love color, especially shades of pink. That's why I had to snatch up this pink skirt from H&M's collection with Miranda Kerr. Best part is the skirt was only $14.95, basically a steal! It's the perfect Spring addition to any wardrobe. And really, who doesn't adore Miranda Kerr's ladylike style!?

Cheers to the 90's

Even though it's 2014, I swear when I go into stores like Forever 21 and H&M, it's like I'm right back in my childhood. It's like the 90's have returned, denim skirts, acid wash everything, overalls, crop tops, mix and match separates and even keds, these are all things I grew up wearing. Now they've all come back in style again.

Anyways, if you haven't taken notice of it yourself then just head on over to your local mall and check out the 90's revival. But for many of us it's a little too much. So instead it's a better idea to just take a small element of the 90's trend and work it into your everyday look, to keep from seeming like you're trying to hard.

I vowed I would never tie another shirt or sweatshirt around my waist after about the 10th grade, but I guess I'm breaking that vow. Because I actually find if paired with a chic pair of faux leather shorts it can really work. And don't forget to add some sparkle and girly accessories to pull this look together and keep it from looking like you were just too lazy to hold your shirt.

Leo + Camo

I finally wore pants!!! Woohoo! It decided to cool off enough to actually warrant putting on pants. I can't believe I'm actually excited about that. I'm usually all about dresses, but I'm ready for Fall now and so ready for the hot weather to take a hike.
But back to being able to wear pants, I have been eager to break out my camo pants for awhile now. So it had to be the first pair I wore this Fall. And why not pair it with one of Fall's hottest neutral...LEOPARD. If I had to name one Fall must-have it would be leopard shoes. Anything from flats to heels, every woman needs a pair. I may have every kind of leopard shoe. It makes for a great neutral yet makes a bold statement.
I absolutely adore these leopard heels because of the t-strap. I found them on brand spanking new on Poshmark for a steal and I couldn't help myself. But I made the mistake of wearing these heels to Big Sis's dance class the other day and when we had to go in and see the little girls, I had to stand closest to the entrance and refrain from walking around so I wouldn't ruin the dance floors. The ONE day I decide to actually wear heels to watch dance practice is the day they have to invite the mom's in. Just great! I guess I'll be sticking to flats or wedges for dance class.

Black, White, & Pink

Hey Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your last official weekend of Summer. If you follow me on Instagram, then you should know I packed the girls up bright and early and headed to Target yesterday morning to snag some Phillip Lim goodies. And so glad I did. I got my hands on the very limited yellow mini satchel. Woohoo!!! We were second in line, that's not saying much since there were probably only about 10 of us in line total, perks of living in a small town. No one to fight over purses with. HAHAHAHA! Well I hope you all had a chance to pick up some goodies from Target's collaboration. Can't wait to share with you all the things I picked up. Check them out in the upcoming posts.
Today, I wanted to share a cute little crop top I came across and had to have. Now, the only other time I wore a crop top this Summer was in Maui. I felt like it was appropriate and didn't feel like it was too scandalous as a mom. All Summer long the trend was going strong and I kept wanting to try it again but in a more modest way. Kind of an oxymoron I know, but I knew that if I searched long and hard I would find a crop top that wouldn't bare too much and could actually look chic.
I just recently found this great crop top from Zara. With its long sleeves and loser fit on the body it was just what I had been looking for. And since then I've been loving it. I can pair it with any high waisted skirt and it just barely shows a sliver of skin.

And how cute is the leather bracelet I'm wearing!? It's a new piece from A Lotus Blossom Design's blogger inspired collection [check it out here]. I'm so flattered that they have been inspired by style and come up with such a great piece to share.

Also you've still got time to enter to win the Anthro Inspired Mint Bauble Necklace here. Don't wait because the winner will be announced Friday.

My New Favorite Shoe + Giveaway

Okay, so I'm just going to say it, I'm OBSESSED! With my new Shoemint heels. I've been impatiently waiting for these to arrive. They're the Romy's. They sold out the first time they released them and last month I luckily caught them when they re-released them. They come in nude and black, and trust me I considered getting both colors, but since I have a pair of blush colored lace up heels I settled for just the black pair. But now that I've strapped my little feet in, I'm obsessed and am honestly conteplating getting the nude the next time they release them. And fyi, there is a good chance they will. So if you missed out on them don't fret Shoemint has started a waitlist for these. So get on it NOW! In the mean time I'm pretty sure I'm going to be wearing these as often as I can. Yes, there will be a chance I will be sitting at Big Sis's dance class in these just to strut about in them. They're gorgeous and actually very comfortable. You really can't find a better pair of Giuseppe Zanotti knock-offs.

Peplum + Leopard

I hope you all had a lovely Labor Day weekend! And hopefully you got in some shopping. There were definitely some great sales. Now that the last Summer holiday has passed, I'm officially ready to work some Fall trend into my Summer wardrobe. Although I'm not quite ready for Summer to be over I do have a few Fall trends I can't help but dive right into. One that is sure to be a hit is the leopard trend. We saw lots of it all Summer and it seems it'll be even hotter this Fall. And my favorite way to rock this look is, shoes! A pair of leopard print shoes can give a simple look some interest.
For a casual afternoon of shopping with my girls, I paired my leo shoes with my favorite boyfriend fit shorts. A little FYI, it took me all Summer to find the perfect pair of BF shorts. If you're still expecting Summer temps and are looking for a pair, try Aeropostale. I know, it's teen store, but for those of us on the petite side the sizing is a much better fit and with all the great sales they have you're bound to snag a pair for a ridiculously good price.

WIW: A Pop of Neon

One of my favorite Summer trends this year is hands down, neon. I love that it can transform a casual outfit into something that dazzles. And there were so many ways to wear it, from clothes to jewelry to handbags and shoes. I couldn't get enough of it. And if you're like me and love bright colors you'll be wearing neon well into Fall. Just because Summer is coming to an end doesn't mean all those bright colors need to be shelved till next year. Try pairing a neon shoe with dark or black jeans or one of my Fall favorites, leather like pants. But don't be expecting any of those outfits from me anytime soon because this hot and humid weather just does not seem to be letting up.

Outfit Details: Top: unknown via Marshalls [similar here] | Skirt: H&M [old, but similar here and here] | Shoes: Shoedazzle [similar here and here] | Necklace: Very Jane | Belt: American Eagle [similar here] | Bracelets: Groopdealz, PJ & Poppy, Charming Charlie's | Sunnies: Windsor What were you favorite Summer trends? Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day weekend! Thanks for following!
