The Prettiest Little White Dress
Nothing is more of a closet essential than a good white dress. The little white dress can be so versatile, the dress up and dress down options are endless! For me, I love a white dress with a classic pair of cowgirl boots. Of course, you can also wear a dress like this one with sneakers and a denim jacket, too! What stood out to me about this particular white dress is the overlaying and softness! The material feels so lightweight it is perfect for hot days and long hours spent in the sun. Another detail on this dress that sold me was the string on the bodice, it adds…

Color Blocking for Men
It looks like color blocking is going to be a pretty big fall/winter trend for 2018. There is no reason that you can’t get ahead of this trend and lead the way! The aztec print t-shirt my brother Jacob is modeling is a great example of how you can us color blocking to your advantage early. The colorful print really stands apart from the solid colored pocket on the front of the tee. That one simple element is the perfect way to grow into even more color blocking as the season goes on. If you want to keep it simple and only dip a toe in the pool of color…

The End of Summer
With the end of fair season comes the end of summer. We all knew this would happen sooner or later, the long days and warm nights were slowly slipping aways from us. The new semester is rapidly approaching now, and soon I will be back to cracking the books. Another fresh set of classes to figure out and conquer, but this school year will be different for me. I am looking forward to the first school year of having this blog to write! It has been such an amazing way for me to connect with others and a fantastic creative outlet! Nothing has allowed me to be this vulnerable yet…

Movie Monday: Lover Come Back (1961)
One of my favorite Rock Hudson and Doris Day films is definitely Lover Come Back! Maybe it is the nostalgia of what was leftover by the 1950’s or the fact that this film centers around two professionals in the advertising business, the major I am currently studying. Whatever the reason, this goofy romantic comedy goes down in the books right next to When Harry Met Sally on my list of all-time greatest films! These photos are not mine. Lover Come Back is a great example of the kind of tried and true friendship Hudson and Day had in real life. Hudson trusted Day’s comedic timing in each film they starred…

40’s Inspired Top
If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…

Why Fruit Prints are Not Just for Women
This summer we have seen prints of all kinds. Gingham, geometric, aztec, and so many more, but fruit is the one to me that seems so different and fun! I have seen so many ladies wear some of the prettiest lemon printed dresses and blouses, it occurred to me that this lasting trend works great on men, too! Throwing on a crisp button up with a cool print like the one above can be such a fun way to not only stay on trend, but to also stand out. This would be the perfect outfit for a cookout, night with family and friends, or a trip to the movies! As the…

Neon Stripes
If I had to pick a top five or ten favorite colors, neon green would be somewhere in that group! Unlike its neighboring colors, like construction worker yellow, neon green as a color steers clear of tacky and navigates more towards fun. The navy blue stripe really balance out the bright green in this top. In addition, the three little blue buttons you may notice on my shoulder are such a fun little detail to mark this as a classic addition to the wardrobe! I decided a matching pair of navy shorts from Old Navy with this ensemble. One more thing I love about this top is the quarter length…

The Knotted Romper
What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…

Topman Baby Blue
There is nothing like finding a classic, soft tee! When my brother Jacob found this top from Topman, it was love at first touch! It is t-shirts like these that stay in the closet for years and are an absolute essential. The ability to mix and match the a pretty blue tee like this one is endless. Everyone should own one top that is soft and comfortable, those never go out of style! Topman hit the nail on the head with this material. My brother, Jacob, told me it breathed so easily and kept him cool on the hot day he wore it on. The fit is fitted enough to complement…

Gingham Tank
Not to long ago, I wrote a blog post calling gingham one of the biggest prints of the summer. This prediction did not disappoint! I found this cute tank top at Target. The ruffle was one of my favorite features about this tank when I bought it. However, the first day I wore this top there was a bit of a breeze outside and I had that ruffle flying in my face. It provided for some pretty funny blooper photos though so I was fine with it. Sometimes the wind is our friend and sometimes it is not. Either way, this gingham look is classic and a total win whether…
