Preppy Downtown Look

























Hi loves!

I’m super excited to get this post up for y’all today, I absolutely adore the downtown scenery! Shooting these pictures with one of my best friends was so much fun (check out her killer blog 😘). It took me about an hour and 45 mins to figure out where this place we were meeting was because maps screwed me over (normally only takes 30 mins and I'm just God awful at directions, ask anyone who knows me) Needless to say we got the shoot done, and I’m in love with the pictures!
I got both my top and white jeans during a fun weekend in Tulsa from Banana Republic and Loft. As you can tell, I love the preppy, girly style - it’s definitely me! And, of course, I paired it with my tried and true Tory Burch sandals that everyone and their mommas have, along with the classic jewelry pieces I wear just about every day, and my LV wristlet that came in my Neverfull tote.
I wasn't able to find the top anywhere, but you can find my white jeans here.

Talk to you next week :)

Beachwear Wishlist



Hi guys!

Okay for some reason, I’m super in to beachwear/swimsuits more than I ever have before. I think it’s because there are so many cute things out there now and a lot of different styles to choose from rather than just a plain string bikini. 
I also noticed stores have really been stepping their one piece game up with a lot of unique stuff.
I’m absolutely in love with all these pieces, especially the lace up TopShop one piece. 
Everything in this post would be perfect for my beach vacation to the Cayman Islands later in July (I’m super excited!) but I really need to start saving up some money so I can actually buy some of these things. I bought a couple of really cute (and really cheap) bikinis at Nordstrom Rack, so I would definitely recommend looking there if you’re on the hunt for something new but don’t wanna hurt your wallet too badly. But for me, hopefully I can save some up.
As for beach accessory type things, I actually have the hat in this post from Nordstrom that I bought for my last vacation and it’s super affordable, cute, and on sale! and I’m IN LOVE with this Steve Madden beach bag (currently sold out). For sunglasses, I’m the type of girl who can have one pair and be on her way, but I know that’s not the case for a lot of people! These are the Ray Bans I wear every day; the Celine’s in this post are definitely only in my dreams (sigh).
I would definitely recommend checking out Nordstrom, Asos, and TopShop’s websites to see all the different stuff they have, these are just a few of soooo many cute things!

Summer Going Out Look













Hi lovely people!

I’ve had such a busy week, but I wanted to make sure to get this adorable look up for you! I got this bright pink romper on sale at Altar’d State for only $20 (originally $70) and thought it would be perfect for summer. I’m excited that I found it online here :)
I styled it with my Kate Spade envelope cross body (also on sale here) for two pops of color which makes it brighter and perfect for the summertime. My favorite thing about the look for sure is the shoes, I’ve been loving the lace up trend for heels that I needed a pair of my own. I got these at DSW for around $30, and they're surprisingly comfortable!
This look is super cute for going out with friends or on a date, it’s light weight and flowy which I love because it’s disgustingly hot here in Texas. I need fall and winter — I know I’m super weird. 
I had so much fun shooting this look in downtown, and there’s more to come which I’m excited to post about!


Have an amazing rest of your week :)

Current Skin Care Essentials




Hey guys!

So I’ve been loving these products lately, they’ve helped my skin so much. I used to get sparse breakouts on my cheeks, forehead and chin but since I changed up my skincare routine a little bit and been consistent with it, my skin has been better than ever. I bought the travel sizes of the Origins eye cream and Fresh cleanser because they’re much more affordable and have a lot of product in them that lasts a long time (I linked the full sizes below). I LOVE them both and would highly recommend those as well as the other products I’m about to mention!


1. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream: If you watch beauty YouTubers or are an active Sephora shopper, you’ve probably heard of this product. After I take off my make up, wash and cleanse my face, I love to use this on my skin. It’s super moisturizing and makes my skin feel rejuvenated. It’s perfect for my dry skin and I would definitely repurchase it!

2. Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub: This is an oldie but a goodie. I think I’ve used this stuff on and off since middle school and I can honestly say, even though it’s the simplest product, it’s helped clear my breakouts and small blemishes so quickly! It’s super affordable, and I've gone through so many.

3. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser: This is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin, it’s so gentle and cleans your face as well as removing makeup. I use this every night in the shower to take off my makeup, and it works perfectly! 

4. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser: I got this fairly recently in the checkout line at Sephora (aka the aisle that will definitely take all your money if you aren’t careful). It cleanses like the Cetaphil one but feels very soothing on the skin with a really fresh cucumber smell.

5. Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream: I use this in the morning after my moisturizer and before I apply makeup, it helps so much with dark circles and has an intense cooling effect to brighten up and depuff under eyes.
