Oh hey hump day, nice of you to join us! It's not like this has been a bad week or anything, it just seems to be dragging a bit more than usual. Maybe because there's a small part of me that's dreading this weekend. And I know what you're thinking, who dreads the weekend, right? Well for those who might have forgotten, this weekend is daylight savings weekend so we lose an hour which makes my early mornings extremely rough for about the first week or two after the time change. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for the daylight later but it's rough starting my morning commute in the dark again. Ok, enough complaining about the time change, let's talk about how excited I am for spring fashion again. 

This past weekend was absolutely gorgeous here in Florida. 70 degree weather, sunny without a cloud in the sky, a slight breeze and low humidity. As much as I love living here, we get very few truly perfect days and this weekend we got two so of course I enjoyed as much of it as I could outside. I wore this outfit out for drinks for a friend's birthday and it was perfect for the warm day and slightly cooler evening. This top combines all of my favorite things; peplum, floral print and ruffles. And did I mention it's perfect for hiding a bit of a food (or beer) baby? Of course I paired it with my favorite jeans. I'm sure you guys are getting sick of seeing these jeans by now since I wear them pretty much 24/7 (don't worry, I have them in 3 colors and wash them regularly!) but they are so comfy and look cute with everything so I just can't not wear them! So... sorry not sorry? 

Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week!

Happy humpday babes! Before I get into today's post I wanted to give a little update on my pup for anyone who is wondering. His second chemo treatment is tomorrow. We should know from there whether the first chemo treatment did anything or if we might have to look at increasing the frequency of his treatments. The meds he's on for his heart condition have been giving him some stomach issues so I have an appointment with a holistic vet Friday afternoon to see about getting him on a better diet and/or seeing about other natural options for some of the meds he's on. Thank you to everyone who has continued to check in on us and I'll have a further update next week!

Our weather has been weird lately. We had a few pretty chilly days but now we've gotten warmer again so I'm taking advantage while I can. This top is one that I got back in spring but didn't get to wear it much because it got too hot out so I was excited to break it out again. I love going shopping in my own closet and finding things I haven't worn for awhile and getting to style them again. For this look I decided to dress up my favorite destroyed skinny jeans a little. I'm sure you all are getting sick of seeing these by now but I seriously live in these jeans, they are so comfy! I have them in dark denim, light denim and I recently bought them in black denim so be prepared to see these a LOT. In honor of Taylor's new cd dropping on Friday, I decided to rock the minimal makeup with a bold red lip look. Has anyone else listened to the new cd? If so, what do you think?

Guys, how is it not Friday yet? This week was a doozy before it even started. Sunday I headed up to Jacksonville to watch the Jags take on the Bengals (my current hometown team against my original hometown team) so I was pretty excited. If you've been to an NFL game you know a few years ago they changed it so women are no longer permitted to bring purses into the stadium unless they're clear. So I opted to just bring my phone, my ID and my credit card and called it a day. I'm uber careful with my phone and it's in a case so I wasn't too worried about it, I held it in my hands the entire game so it didn't accidentally fall out of my pocket or off my lap and when I went to the bathroom I even opted to put it on the floor (super gross, I know) instead of on top of the toilet paper holder to keep it from falling off. By now I'm sure you can see where this is going... after going to the bathroom in the 4th quarter I was at the sink washing my hands with my phone resting on the sink when I got a text message and my phone vibrated right off the sink face down onto the concrete floor. I didn't even have to pick it up to know it was shattered. With everything that has been going on with Novie, I knew I was due for an upgrade (I had the iPhone 6) but was trying to hold out as long as possible, especially with the holidays literally weeks away.
Needless to say, one shattered iPhone 6 later and I am now the proud (?) owner of an iPhone 8. Thanks to all the ladies who offered advice when I was hesitant to upgrade. I seriously thought about saving money and just replacing the screen but I'm also having battery issues so it just made sense. If I had a 7 I would have never even considered upgrading but I'm like 3 phone models behind so it made sense. So yeah, after that unexpected expense I probably won't be buying too many new clothes for fall/winter so be prepared to see some outfits on repeat! And if I seem like I'm pushing my affiliate links a little harder the next few months... well that's why! But at least I'm being honest :)
Ok, enough of the negative. Can we talk about my absolute favorite tank and bralette? I wore this outfit with Kerri to the Third Eye Blind concert a few weeks ago (but with Converse instead of booties since it was rainy) and it was the perfect outfit for the weather. This tank has the perfect amount of drape to be sexy yet still not showing off too much and incredibly comfy. And as you've seen from my Instagram page, I literally live in this bralette. It is the most comfy and cute bralette I've ever owned and Kerri actually bought it herself while we were out shopping that day. I've been wearing it with everything from tanks to tees to even sweaters and it's always the perfect touch of lace. Once my spending freeze is lifted I will definitely be scooping it up in other colors!

Can someone please explain to me how we're already in to November? I feel like October just flew right on by. October is my favorite month in the year so I'm a little sad it's over but Thanksgiving is coming up and any excuse to eat myself into a coma I'll gladly take, plus November usually means a solid cool down in weather for us here in Florida. We already had our first "cold front" of the year and I can honestly say, I've been enjoying having the weather be cool enough to break out my favorite jeans.
 I bought these jeans in the lighter color back in August when I made my trip up to Cincinnati, foolishly thinking it might be cold enough at night to wear them. Being from Cincinnati, I should have known better but hey, it was wishful thinking. I ended up only getting to wear them on the airplane but they were SO comfy that I knew I had to get the darker pair ASAP. Despite being "high waisted" these jeans hit me just below my belly button (and I have a short torso!) and don't dig into my hips like I found most high waisted jeans doing. the material is extremely soft so it almost feels like you're wearing leggings instead of jeans but they don't lose their shape at all wearing them throughout the day. Up until recently I was NOT a fan of distressed jeans at all but I love the rips in these and despite the large knee opening, I don't find myself feeling like these look like I just stepped back into humanity after being lost for several weeks. <--- Yeah, I watch too much "I Shouldn't Be Alive". I went more casual with this look, rocking one of my favorite oversized tees that can be worn off the shoulder or normal and some booties but you can easily dress these jeans up for date night with a pretty top and some heels. Fair warning though, they do run a wee bit small and for you taller ladies, they might be a little short. Despite me only being 5'1", these jeans almost fit me length wise perfectly.
What are your favorite go-to jeans?

Oh hey halfway day! While I'm super excited the week is half over, I'm definitely on high alert over Hurricane Maria. There's still a lot of uncertainty over her path right now so I'm trying not to get too stressed over it but really? What is with this storm season? Ok enough of that. On a positive note, Kerri and I are headed to see Mumford and Sons tomorrow so that should be pretty awesome! Although I'm really wishing my work from home day was this Friday instead of last because I have a feeling Friday is going to be rough.
Florida still hasn't gotten the memo fall is starting tomorrow so I've been super jealous of everyone's cozy fall outfits while I'm over here sweating to death if I try to wear jeans. It actually makes me laugh when I see Florida bloggers trying to make fall happen so they can increase the RS sales because I know that A. Not only did they not actually wear that outfit anywhere because if they did, they'd probably have heatstroke and B. They probably almost passed out just taking the pictures! That's why you see me over here still rocking tank tops and shorts until it's not 85 degrees with 90% humidity. Speaking of tank tops, I wore this outfit out for happy hour on Friday evening and this might be my new favorite tank. The flowy chiffon material is lightweight and comfy and I love the ruffles on the top and down the sides. It's no secret that pink is my least favorite color but blush is definitely growing on me! I'll admit, this outfit looks far more appropriate for spring than fall but I've never been one to stick to trends anyway! Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week! Do me a favor send all the bad juju to Hurricane Maria to keep her away, I'm pretty sure none of us are ready for another storm.

Happy Tuesday dolls! It's only Tuesday but this week is already dragging for me. That always happens when you have something you're looking forward to at the end of the week, doesn't it? I just keep telling myself it will be here soon enough but I'm definitely starting to get anxious! Even though I already did all my vacation shopping, all of the sales that have been popping up this week in preparation for Memorial Day have me itching to do some more spending. 

I'm trying to be good but when I saw that The Loft was having a 40% off all new arrivals and an extra 60% off all sale items I had to bite. Of course when I checked out the sale section the very first item that popped up for me was this shirt. I thought I got this shirt for a great deal when I got it for $30 a few weeks ago but now that it's on sale for less than $15, I might have to scoop it up in other colors! It's such a perfect casual top with a boho, feminine feel. The macrame lace gives it a bit of peek a boo detailing without being too revealing and I love the peplum bottom! I love the look of delicate items paired with destroyed denim so for this outfit I rocked my tomgirl jeans for a little more edge (and comfort) with a pair of comfy wedges. And now I have to keep myself from spending a fortune on new clothes right before a vacation, darn you tempting sales!

Happy Thursday loves! Sorry for my absence yesterday! I ended up unexpectedly going out for dinner and drinks Tuesday night and then came home and HAD to watch PLL before going to bed and I had a doctor's appointment Wednesday morning so it was just easier to skip out yesterday than try to cram a post in. But I'm back today and I'm sharing one of my favorite weekend looks with you!

It's been warmer here the past few days so I've been loving getting to wear more spring weather clothing. My black ripped skinny jeans are some of the most comfy jeans I own so I love when it's a teensy bit warmer out so I can rock them without being too cold! I got this tank top for Christmas and I am still so in love with it! It's soft and flowy and the ruffled hem dresses it up from being a plain tank top. I love it so much that I really think I want to scoop it up in some of the other colors, especially since it's on super sale right now! Since it was still a bit on the cooler side I threw on my denim jacket and favorite wedge booties to top off my look. What is your typical go-to weekend outfit?

Happy Friday eve! Hope everyone has had a fabulous week so far! Only one more day until the weekend and I am definitely ready for it. It's been pretty chilly all week and of course today and tomorrow it's supposed to jump back up into the 70's before dropping back down again this weekend. Florida weather is all kinds of confused lately. If you follow me on Instagram you already saw a little sneak peek of this outfit from Sunday.

Weather conditions for this photo shoot were brutal. I'm talking sustained winds of 25 mph with gusts of 40 and it was really chilly. But the show must go on, right? I wore this outfit on Sunday when I ran some errands and did some shopping before deciding it was time for a break for some appetizers, beer and football. Since it was chilly but sunny out I decided to rock the winter white look which is by far one of my favorites. This sweater is a bit over-sized which makes it super comfy (and warm) and I love that it feels much higher quality than only $20! I decided to pair the sweater with my favorite destroyed denim jeans and  comfy camel booties since I knew I was going to be walking a lot.Not to mention I love camel and white paired together! I topped off my look with a pop of color from my favorite Kendra Scott necklace and my GiGi clutch since sometimes it's nice to not carry around a large purse!
