Darlin' Denim

{Go ahead girl, shop this look}
Denim Romper: Identical here and love this here | Sandals: Sam Edelman | Necklace: Similar here and here | Arm Stack: Bauble bar | Earrings: Stella & Dot {last season} love these here | Bag: Love this here

Excuse me while I #throwitwayback to those glory days of Polly Pockets, Smackers lip gloss, and mash {which was never legit guys..I would literally re-do mine like 18 times..I was going to marry Brad Pitt Dammit}. Seriously though...I don't care if it screams Full House..Denim + Romper = Grown kid status {no shame. None at all}!

I scored this lovely two weekends ago while in the Ozarks for my bachelorette weekend at Loft Outlet. You know when you're just filling something {I call that Rack Raves}...yeah, I just knew. Kind of like Starbucks and long john donuts..it just makes sense. I linked my top five favorite darling denim pieces which you can find here {loft} , here {Nordstrom}, here {Gap}, here {Chicwish}, and here {Zulily} {! No fear your denim guide is here.

I hope everyone had a beautiful 4th with family and friends. Freedom is beautiful and I cherish everyday I am able to wake up and make my own choices {like coffee and cheat days}..but in all seriousness it's such a liberating feeling! Plus...the story behind Independence Day is pretty amazing..#semihistorynerd.

thanks for the read!

Pretty In Pink

Photos by: Tess Ware

{Shop the looks below}

Pink has been a hot commodity this summer and why not?! I think I've stated this clearly...A. I'm not a dress person because often times its hard to find the correct length {totally won't Britany} and B. I have this no re-wear dress phobia policy-ish thing {girl scout honor}! It's like wearing the same prom dress twice..am I right? This isn't always the case, but 9 out of 10 times I have that dilemma head where I think oh those dresses look pretty hanging up, but what next?

Anyways, this dress is from Impressions Boutique! I've been on a winning streak when it comes to length and I fully intend on continuing that challenge!

#Assceoryobsession Alert

White Tunic: Old Navy | Palm Print Shorts: Old Navy | Tassel Necklace: Similar here and here | Sandals: ShoeDazzle | Bag: Love this here similar here | Bracelets: Baublebar {one set!}, Ring: Stella & Dot | Sunnies: Urban Outfitters

I mean lets be real. Accessories are a girls best friend. Every time I open a box, unwrap it's goodness, and try on that piece of heaven....okay you get it. In all seriousness it's not diamonds that win my heart over, it's any type of jewelry.

My favorite accessories this summer is this fun neon tassel necklace I got last year in a cute little boutique. However, I was so excited when I spotted all of these adorable tassels here from Shopbellac! These tassel bracelets from Baublebar as well here...ugh #swoon. I'm sure it comes in no surprise either...that I totally crush on anything gold. I'm ~~slightly~~ ridiculously smitten by this Baublebar Gold Spiked Bib here and wait for it....the necklace I wear over like its going out of style here from Baublebar is $20 for a limited time!! Girl, you would be crazy not to.

Anyways...I feel like its totally unacceptable not to share my go to- Aka best of the best jewelry hot spots!

1. Baublebar- After my first order, I became forever committed. The turn around time alone is amazing and the packaging...now that's just fun! Trust me when I say...you need Bauble jewels in your life. Like yesterday! Currently crushing here and here.

2. Stella & Dot: Speaking of delivering...Stella & Dot is without a doubt top notch quality! I literally have worn my spiked gold bracelet here and recently re-purchased one because I'm that in lust with it. Talk about not wanting to let go....woofta. My current favorites are here and here. I have mad love for cocktail rings.

3. Nordstrom: Need I say more?! It's like The Mall of America of jewelry. What I love about online shopping and Nordstrom in particular is the search bar. Its as easy as typing in "necklace..." instantly getting a variety of options, and choosing a color and price. It pretty much shops for you ;). I recently committed to this Kendra Scott turquoise tassel necklace here that I've been eyeing for a year now!! I can't wait to bust this beauty out and take her on a night out...ha ha. BUT REALLY.

4. Ily Couture: Not only is Hellofashion Blog amazing...but hello reasonable jewelry and other accessory cuteness! I've been going back and forth between this fun neon statement necklace here and this Geo Pendant here. Decisions...decisions!

FYI: How cute are these Old Navy shorts? Palm tree print is a must this season! What's your favorite print?!

White Tunic Top: Similar here, here {LOVE here} | Distressed Denim: Shopbop | Sandals: ShoeDazzle | Necklace: Stella & Dot {current favorite} | Bracelets: Stella & Dot here, here, and here | Ring: Stella & Dot |

Okay guys, I've totally been M.I.A and I wish I could say I was too busy catching up with my celeb gal crushes Chrissy Teigen, Jessie James, and Rebel Wilson over margaritas and girl talk.. but that's for another day! In all seriousness... I took it upon myself to take three straight days away from MOST {I repeat} most social media platforms...and I'm sorry but that's serious. This girl is committed and never turns her back on a great sale or outfit find. Twas nice...very nice.

Can we talk about this amazing lace bell sleeved tunic? Perfect for summer with its light material and feminine touch. I found this tunic from a cute boutique in Iowa City. I couldn't locate it online...but I linked several of my favorite tunics for the summer. You can't go wrong pairing white with the perfect neutral sandal and...I'm crushing, like my middle school crush on Leonardo Dicaprio in Titanic....crushing. I can always count on ShoeDazzle to deliver. Their selection and fast shipping make it all too easy! You can sign up and receive your first pair of shoes at 50% here, but why stop there? Each month you're giving {yes giving} the option to either purchase another pair at $39.95 or skip for the month. It's the perfect win win! FYI: The same goes for Justfab here! Just a little in on my shoe secrets that make my closet happy ;)

Romper Raving

Photos by: Tess Ware

{Shop the links below}

I love wedding planning. I repeat I LOVE wedding planning. However, consider this less complaining and more of a shout out anthem for all my brides to be....okay, w(h)ine, not the actual drinking kind unfortunately. It appears I am running a wedding marathon only the kind where you're this close to crossing the finish line and you trip, fall, and have a terrible blooper... {Definition: EPIC FAIL}. It's a great laugh now but I have officially ordered 100+ extra save the dates {don't ask, I won't tell}, had our Reverend deliver the bad news she can no longer marry us due to a conference that comes once a year...and it happens to be on our wedding day, and now I caught possible wind that a seamstress may not be all that credible...however I have yet to figure that one out. It's just wedding madness you all! BUT... I consider them minor set backs and its not like it can't be resolved with an entire bag of Boom Chicka Pop {the be all end all people}.

Whose been loving on all of these cute printed rompers this season? I'm an absolute awe with all the different styles. In fact I'm trying to locate my inner boldness to give the two piece romper a try... I just can't quite commit fully. However, its a great day {who am I kidding...a great year} when I find a romper that fits in length. There's nothing less attractive then...well you know {ha ha}. Anyways I've linked up some of my favorites since mine pictured is currently sold out. Shop till you drop loves!

Peace, love, & rompers!

Palm Print Party

Photos by: Tess Ware

{Click the links for outfit details}

Printed ladder Palm Tree Blouse: Express | White Denim: Love these here and currently on the wish list here | Brown Sandals: Nordstrom {available in black} love these here and here | Tropic Tassel Necklace: Shopbellac | Striped Embellished clutch: Express | White Droplet earrings: Stella & Dot similar here {in every color possible}! | Rings: BaubleBar love here and here

This girl is obsessed with all of the fun summer prints this season. Palm trees, pineapples, and stripes....sign me up!

Express has been a long standing favorite of mine for sometime now. In fact...the other day I was cleaning out my closet and realized it's totally closet divided aka Old Navy/Express vs. Nordstrom/favorite little boutiques... {#closetconfessions}. When I spotted this palm tree blouse..I knew it was love at first purchase. The best part is the ladder cut on the back and while a picture was taken ...my booty was popping you all. No fear...beyonce...but really it just couldn't make the cut.

Speaking of no fear... mixing prints has been on the daily lately! I loved pairing this striped embellished Express clutch with this amazing Express Blouse....don't worry there have been plenty of miserable fails along the way...but its all about trial and error folks...kind of like my horrific choice to cut my hair really really short, die it dark, and alternate my brace bands pink and green. #EPICFAIL. Don't make me prove it people...the proof is out there!
