Two-fer Tuesday: The Tunic

This season one of my favorite pieces has to be the tunic. It's such a versatile piece in my eyes. I picked up this particular one at H&M right before we headed to Maui and got so much use out of it. But even since then I've found so many ways and reasons to wear it beyond just being a swim cover up. Plus there are so many fun prints out there right now. Check out these ones that have caught my eye from J. Crew, ASOS, and J. Crew Factory.

Look 1: Boho for the Day

I really enjoy this look for the day. It's a little festival but not so overdone that it can't be worn for everyday errands.

Look 2: Tunic Turned Dressy

And with a quick change of shoes and a few accessories you're set to go to brunch or even dinner. I actually wore this recently when the Hubs and I went to Paradise Point in San Diego.

The tunic dress is a forgiving piece and can really work for most body types. Belting it can create shape if you're like me and straight up and down. But it also cinches and gives the appearance of a smaller waist if you've got assets elsewhere. And I even like it alone without all the fuss.

Look 2 - Tunic: H&M | Shoes: Rock & Republic [similar here] | Belt: Target | Necklace: Luxe Craving | Bracelets: Lotus Blossom Design, Stella & Dot, Betsey Johnson viz Nordstrom Rack

So if you're looking for a versatile piece that will last you all Summer, I definitely recommend trying this look. H&M is constantly updating their stock and I've seen so many great prints all for $12-$15. Which really can't be beat.
Have a great week! And as always thank you for reading!

Two-fer Tuesday: The Maxi Skirt

One of my favorite transitional pieces that will carry you through the entire year is a great maxi skirt. I love these flowing skirts because they're perfect for casual days or dressy nights. And a good maxi skirt can create a multitude of outfits.

I recently found this maxi skirt at Target for only $18. I've been on the hunt for a black maxi skirt and I thought this one was great for the price. I didn't want just any black maxi, at 5'4 length is a concern when purchasing maxi skirts and dresses. I always find that they're either too long or the material isn't great and will shrink and fade considerably when washed. And if you're looking for other fun colors this skirt also is available in coral and a greenish shade.

Here are two easy breezy ways to wear a maxi skirt this Summer. And coincidentally, both looks feature budget friendly pieces from Target.

Two-fer Tuesday: Neon Heels + Head Stylist

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day weekend. Celebrating Baby Sis's 1st birthday and spending time with my baby girls was the best gift I could ask for.

This week for Two Ways Tuesday, I wanted to share 2 very different ways to pull off the neon shoe trend. My sister Tiffany actually was the inspiration for this post. She recently just got a pair and wanted me to put together some ways to wear them. So I thought I would share it with you all too since this trend seems to only be getting hotter as it's beginning to warm up. And surprisingly neon seems to go with everything.

I personally love this trend for Summer, it's a fun way of adding color to an outfit and a bit unexpected. I've been obsessed with my Prabal Gurung for Target neon sandals since I laid eyes on them. Since the release of the Prabal Gurung collection, I've even spotted some great dupes if you weren't able to get your hands on a pair and still are looking for something similar.

Casual in Neon

You really can't go wrong pairing a pair of neon heels with a classic tee and boyfriend jeans. The neon pumps give this otherwise Plain Jane look a sense of polish and style. Top it off with a Panama hat for Summer creating a great chic Summer daytime look and some arm candy for a little glitz.

Speaking of arm candy, check out the pretty floral enamel bangle I'm wearing, isn't it pretty? Gina at Lotus Blossom Design and I collaborated on creating a piece that was inspired by my style. And I can't tell you how gorgeous this bangle is in person. Go and pick yourself up one at Lotus Blossom Design. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a sweet and talented friend.

Brunch Attire in Neon

For a more pulled together look, I paired my neon heels with a purple shift dress and layered with a striped top. This is perfect for weekend brunching with friends and family. Don't be afraid to pair neons with other bold colors. These neon heels are less overwhelming then you would believe, and provide that little bit of surprise.

Two-fer Tuesday: Neon Mini

So as of this week, I wanted to devote Tuesday's to sharing how to style one piece two ways. I always love how just changing a few accessories can completely transform your look. Which is why fashion is so amazing.

This week, I want to show you how I would style J. Crew's Embroidered Neon Postage Stamp Mini. I've had my eyes on this skirt since it came out.

Don't you just love this skirt?
