White ruffles, mustard & turquoise

This top is BY FAR my favorite of the season.  It comes in 2 colors and is currently on sale for $26.98! It is so versatile and looks great on all body shapes.  The ruffles make it very forgiving (especially if you indulged in that second helping of pasta like I did last night…  Oops). Yellow is my favorite color.  Unfortunately I was not blessed with the skin tone to pull it off, however, I can wear it on the lower half of my body!  These mustard jeans are so perfect and will transition so easily into fall. Lastly, this crossbody purse shockingly holds WAY MORE than it looks like it can hold.  The gold details make this over-accessorizer extremely giddy!  Shop this look below:

White ruffle peplum top & a ruffle gingham skirt

This top is one of my FAVORITE tops of the season.  It pairs well with ANYTHING!  I wore it with this adorable ruffle gingham skirt but it looks perfect with jeans or shorts also. Gingham is the “color” of the season.  This gingham skirt is too cute.  I’ve linked my top and skirt and a few similar styles that I love.  Shop the look below:

Friday faves

Ovation Haircare – I SWEAR by this stuff! I originally started using Ovation after I had extensions and was trying to repair the damage they had caused. This was back in my days as a Dallas Mavericks Dancer.  Since then I have tried numerous products but I ALWAYS come back to Ovation.  I personally use the Color Protection Cell Therapy System since I have highlights in my hair.  Skeptical? I don’t blame you!  I was too.  I tried it on a total whim and now I am a loyal customer.  They offer trial sizes if you want to give it a go before committing.  I promise you will not be disappointed. You can thank me later. 😉

Marc Jacobs coconut face primer – I will admit that when it comes to putting on makeup, I usually go with a faster is better attitude.  That means I skip out on a lot of things that would actually make my makeup look better and more polished.  I was recently turned onto a makeup artist named, Kandee Johnson, that I am totally fan girling over.  I’m sure you’ve heard of her but if you haven’t, check her Youtube channel out HERE. In one of Kandee’s videos I watched (I watched probably 30 of them on the day I found her) she talked about this primer.  I bought this primer and 3 other products she recommended in that video and I was not let down.  This stuff is super hydrating and helps my makeup last longer.  And… it feels amazing on my skin.

Black swing dress

I found this Lush split neck dress at Nordstrom Rack.  It is super comfortable, looks great on all body types and has POCKETS.  I loved it so much that I bought it in black, blue AND pink!  The best part is…  It was on MAJOR sale for $7.20 in store!!!!!!  I found it online too but the deal online is not as great as the deal in-store.  Shop the look below:

Summer whites

I love wearing white.  White on white on white!  I personally believe it is a quick and easy way you can look fresh and crisp (even if you’ve only slept 3 hours the night before…).  This is DEFINITELY NOT an outfit I can wear around my kids, but on the days I am out of the ketchup firing zone, white is my go-to color.  Shop these summer whites below:

A pop of color in the home

Here I am talking about a pop of color again.  My love for that unexpected color bleeds over from how I dress and into my home.  Most of my house is neutral but I love to throw in an accent that is bold and vibrant.  In my bedroom we did just that with this turquoise headboard.  It gives my bedroom life!  Shop these home decor pieces below:

Palm print swimsuit and a pretty lace coverup

Nothing says summer like a good suit and a great coverup.  This is currently my favorite swimsuit and works for those days I take my boys to the pool.  I love the laceup detail in the front which allows me to be a mommy or a hot wife.  Ha!  😉  And ya’ll…  this pretty little lace kimono is $17!  The detail is beautiful and it can be worn in SO MANY WAYS! It’s a steal.  Shop this look (and a few other great palm print suits) below:
