Sweater: J.O.A boxy sweater {similar, cheaper version here!} // Jeans: Frame Denim x Karlie Kloss // Bag: BP. white crossbody // Shoes: Steve Madden ‘Carrson’ Sandal // Sunglasses: Ray Ban aviators

y’all know I’m a huge fan of the Karlie Kloss x Frame Denim collaboration {see white version, blue jean version, black version} – I wear the flares from the line all the time. #canyatell I love the long, straight line the jeans make, and they’re so easy to pair with any top. Here, I’ve paired them with this J.O.A boxy sweater that feels like buttah. Seriously. It’s almost has a velvet-like feeling to it. Kept this outfit simple with my fav {& very affordable!} white crossbody and classic aviators. Can’t go wrong.

I’m off early to California to visit my sister and best friend for a week! Can’t wait to spend time with my nieces & nephew {I miss them so much all the time}, and to have some nice weather! 🙂 Hope y’all have a great day! xx

Blouse: Dodo Bar Or {also here!} // Jeans: 3×1 cropped jean // Shoes: Madewell lace up kana sandals // Earrings: All Things Mochi spanish earrings // Sunglasses: Ray Ban Aviator

I love this shirt. Like, really, really, love this shirt. As soon as I saw Dodo Bar Or‘s line online, I immediately fell in love with e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Unfortunately, the pieces are on the pricier side, so I picked just one, and decided on this beautiful top. I couldn’t resist its long blouse-y sleeves, tassels and the easy-to-wear color.  The sleeves also make this top just as easy to wear in the winter as it is in the spring & summer. Paired it here with my fav cropped jeans, beaded earrings {that white ?} and strappy sandals {also have these in the brown!}

Also, I wanted to share with you guys my other favorite Dodo Bar Or pieces below!

Oh, and my hair style is super easy to do! Would anyone want a tutorial? LMK! xx

I’m loving soft pinks, whites and especially bright reds right now. All of these would be so cute for a valentines day date with yout girlftriends or loved one{s}. My favorties of the bunch? #1 is so easy to dress up & down {I already own it in black & LOVE it!} #3 would be so cute paired with some cropped white jeans and gold heels & I’m obsessed with #10 – do you see the little hearts on the laces?!!? I mean, #idie. I just ordered them and can’t *wait* to get them!

Happy {vday} shopping! xx

Tank: beyond yoga twisted tank // Sports Bra: Alo Yoga Strappy Bra  // Leggings: Lanston Blake Leggings // Jacket: Koral activewear bomber jacket // Water bottle: Swell marbled bottle // Shoes: Nike // Bag: Celine

Ok, y’all. If you remember this post, then you know I was working out consistently leading up to my wedding. And then, well, I got married and life happened, and I kiiiinda sorta forgot to care. But alas! It’s the start of a new year, and I am back on track thanks to some new activewear from Neiman Marcus that has me like ?, and feeling super motivated. When I decided to start back up again with my trainer John, I knew I needed to get a little inspiration in the best way I knew how – through amazing clothes that make me feel good. These items don’t dissapoint. The Koral bomber jacket is so soft it feels like buttah and the leggings are like stretchy silk pants {#isthatathing?} My *most* favorite part though is this incredible sports bra – I’m iiinnnloveeee  with the strappy back detail and I love how the tank shows that off.  Neiman Marcus had a huge assortment of designers, and the best part was that the pieces won’t break the bank – much to my own surprise! The bra? $54. The leggings? Under $100. I’m also really eyeing this tank! I love that I’m starting the year off right with a new look and a refreshed spirit. Now I just need to stick with the training and remind myself that its a new year, and new me! 🙂
