Happy AUGUST babes! Holy crap. How is it already August? I feel like it was my birthday just a few weeks ago and now it's literally almost 2 months behind me. It's crazy how time flies. I know everyone else is starting to prep for cooler, fall weather but here in Florida we're just now getting into our hottest months so excuse me while I continue to wear all the shorts, sundresses and comfy outfits. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely ready for fall but I just know not to expect it any time soon. I get so jealous seeing everyone rocking their picks from the Nordstrom sale, knowing any fall things I get won't get worn for at least another 4 months. 

Speaking of the Nordstrom sale, I did manage to scoop up the super cute, basic boxy tee during the sale that I can wear right now! I love a good basic tee/tank and I absolutely love the fit of this one and how lightweight it is. It's definitely perfect for our hot summer days and will be perfect to wear into fall with jeans, booties and maybe even a jacket. Yeah, I know, I'll probably have to wait until winter to break out the jackets. I wore this outfit on Saturday checking out local breweries and it was the perfect casual Saturday look. I loved dressing it up slightly with a bold lip and the hint of sexy with the bralette underneath.

Happy Monday fam! It's been awhile huh? Honestly, I just really needed a little mental blogging break. The past few weeks have been CRAZY busy for me and I just haven't had it in me to sit down and write a post. I feel like it's not a bad thing to take a little break to reset every once in awhile, right? Although I definitely feel like I'm out of the swing of things. Taking these pictures was SO awkward. It's funny how taking a little break from being a blogger can really throw you off your game. 

So how has everyone been? What did I miss while I was gone? I'm sure I missed all the Nordstrom sale posts which I'm not tremendously sad about. It's so hard for me to shop for fall clothes when it's almost 100 degrees out here and I know the soonest I'll be wearing them is November. If I'm lucky. Instead I'm sitting here shopping for all the shorts and cute tanks like this little bright yellow peplum number. I was never really sure if I could pull of yellow but I loved this color so much I figured I might as well go for it and while I wouldn't say it's going to be my number one go-to color now, I definitely don't hate it! I'll do my best to return to my regularly scheduled programming (i.e. blogging more consistently again) so bare with me while I get back into the swing of things! 

Happy Humpday ya'll! Can we talk about how Florida all of a sudden decided we weren't done with winter yet? Yeah, not cool. You guys know I am not a fan of the cold so I'm ready for my 80 degree temperatures back but in the meantime I got to break out my leather jacket one more time so I guess I can't complain too much. Even without the leather jacket, this is going to be my favorite spring outfit so be prepared to see it on repeat. 

This tee is only $8,... yes, I said $8 and no, it's not a mistype; and I've already bought it in multiple colors. It's seriously such a great fit and goes with so many things! Speaking of things I'm obsessed with lately... these heels. I had been on the hunt for a pair of simple leopard print sandals so when I came across these I knew they were coming home with me. I wore these to work all day and then to Disney Springs after work and they were still comfortable. I literally walked 2.3 miles in them and my feet didn't bother me one bit. It's hard to find a good pair of heels that are as comfy as these are. I definitely foresee myself wearing these with as many outfits as possible... leopard is a neutral, right?

Happy Wednesday babes! I'm still over here in shock that it's the second week of 2018. It usually takes me like 2 months before I finally get used to writing the new year on things so I'm all over the place right now. But the weather finally seems to have consistently cooled off here in Florida so at least it finally feels like, well, not summer. As much as I love summer, fall has always been my favorite season and while we don't get much of a winter down here I love when we do get the cooler weather. There's just something about that cool, crisp air and a nice cozy sweater that just makes me happy. 

I also love sweaters with fun details like bell sleeves or in this case, a cute lace up back. Obviously the more open back isn't ideal for super chilly days but it's perfect for those slightly cooler days and it looks oh so cute on! This sweater is actually heavy enough that even thought there was a bit of a cool breeze the day I wore it, I never actually got cold. Of course that could also have something to do with my favorite faux fur pom pom beanie but who's really counting?

Happy humpday loves! Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of summer? In some ways I feel like this summer absolutely flew by and in others I feel like my birthday was ages ago. Being up in Cincinnati a few weeks ago I really got to experience my first taste of potential fall weather. Don't get me wrong, it was nice and hot during the day but it got a bit cooler towards the evenings and down by the water so I got to break out one of my favorite summer to fall trends, a tank and shorts with a flannel button up. 

I'm all about the flannel in the cooler months. Whether it be with shorts, a dress or even just jeans, there's something about a soft and cozy flannel that just makes me happy. I tend to go for the oversized ones that I can layer over a t-shirt or tank, tie up in the front or just lounge around in. I ended up wearing this outfit out exploring early on morning in Cincy when it was still a bit on the cooler side out but ended up warming up. It was the perfect outfit to wear out exploring and hitting up brunch and some local breweries. I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait for cooler temperatures and more fall flannels!

Happy Humpday friends! Does it seem as crazy to any one else that we are more than half way through August already and less than a month away from fall? July and August are by far the hottest months here so I'm definitely ready for September and hopefully a bit cooler weather. Not to mention a little less humidity so my hair will actually do what it's supposed to and not look all crazy all the time.
It's no secret that usually I'm a bit too self-conscious to wear crop tops but when I saw this flowy, off the shoulder one I just had to give it a go. In all reality, it isn't as short as it seems in some of these pictures, especially since I'm wearing boyfriend shorts that are a size too big for me so they sit incredibly low, so when I tried it on I wasn't as immediately nervous about it as I am some crop tops. In fact, I wore it with jeans a few weeks ago and you could barely even see a sliver of my stomach and it's nice and flowy which you all know is my favorite! This will definitely be a top I take into the Florida fall weather, I can't wait to wear it with a pair of black destroyed jeans and some booties maybe even a floppy hat... seriously cooler weather, I'm ready for you! I always feel bad saying I'm ready for cooler temps when I know my friends up north will be freezing in a few months but since we've been in summer for at least 4 months already I can't help but crave that first crisp, cooler day.

Oh hey humpday. As much as I love the fact the week is half over, I'd REALLY love it if it'd stop raining. This girl is missing the sun like crazy. Not to mention can we talk about how crazy my hair looks? Yeah, zero you know what's given guys. It is what it is and at least I'm real about it. I know I'm not perfect so why pretend to try to be, am I right? In fact, for those of you who know me, this is probably the one outfit I should not be posting on a "fashion" blog since this is about a basic outfit as you can wear but if I'm being real, this is what I wear pretty much every weekend. Since I hadn't done a fashion post in awhile I decided to do pics Saturday, in the rain I might add, after meeting up with Kerri for some shopping and frozen pink lemonade mimosas (yeah, they were the shit in case you were wondering). 

Some days I really do wonder why I have a fashion blog. I would say about 90% of my closet consists of black or white tank tops/t-shirts, jeans and shorts and tennis shoes so it really doesn't do much for a fashion blog but I have fun with it so whatever. I have to admit, I'm somewhat jealous of everyone talking about getting ready for fall fashion when I know I still have at least 4 more months of summer left but ask me again in December if I'm still jealous and I'm pretty sure I'll be singing a different tune ;) Some days I just miss boots and my leather jacket, not to mention snuggling under the covers while watching a movie with the windows open but until then I'll just have to continue enjoying days by the pool! Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week!

I'm going to start today's post off with a naked truth. I don't really like pink. Sometimes I feel like the only girl in the world who is not a fan of pink but it's true. I dislike the color pink. I usually do everything I can to avoid wearing it and if you ever looked in my closet (which happens to be organized by color...thank you OCD for that one) you'd notice that my "pink section" is pretty much absent but for some reason when I saw this shirt I totally fell in love with it. 

I went back and forth more times than I care to admit before finally caving and buying this top but I finally convinced myself that this baby/blush pink isn't obnoxious pink so I could wear it. I ended up wearing it out for my birthday brunch and I couldn't have been happier with it. The ruffled detail, tie shoulders and the flowy crop top made it absolutely perfect and I felt flirty and feminine without feeling too pink. Maybe one day I'll get over my aversion to pink but I won't hold my breathe. Until then, baby steps ;)

Ok, it's official. This girl needs to do a serious detox after her birthday/4th of July weekend. Don't get me wrong, I had such a blast celebrating and it was nice taking a social media break but I definitely ate/drank way more than I usually do and I'm feeling it today. I tried to balance it out by going to the gym a few times over the weekend but I will definitely be hitting the gym extra hard this week to try to make up for it.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who over indulged a little?
You may remember this outfit from when Kerri and I went to see Third Eye Blind back in the beginning of June, well I'm finally sharing it just in time for the top to be on major sale! When I was picking an outfit for the concert I was anticipating the rain so I tried to pick something that would be comfy and cute but also not become see through from standing out in the rain and hopefully dry fast. This ended up being the perfect top for that, especially since as I anticipated, we got soaked. Luckily Kerri and I are the best at making any situation fun, so in typical "us" fashion; we sat in her car, jamming out to music and sipping on Sofia before being forced to get out and endure the torrential downpour pretty much forgoing any chance of looking cute. I'm not really sure where I was going with this... you can tell I've taken a few days off and I'm not on top of my game. And with that, I'm out. Hopefully I get back into the groove soon and stop going off on random tangents! Hope everyone has a fantastic week!
