PINTEREST LOOK FOR LESS

Dresses are fun, rompers are cute (although they usually ride up too short for my taste), but jumpsuits... jumpsuits are the COOLEST. Blogger Kat from With Love from Kat looks stunning in this periwinkle blue jumpsuit. I couldn't help but gravitate towards this image when it came across my Pinterest feed, and I love that she chose such a standout color for this strong ensemble. The periwinkle blue really pops thanks to the understated nude accessories and the fresh white mani is just the cherry on top. This jumpsuit looks great dressed up, but could easily be worn on a casual day out if paired with some strappy flat sandals and a tote.

There's something just so chic about a white on white outfit. Maybe it's the bravery that it takes to wear it in the first place. I feel like a risk taker even throwing on a white tee most days, envisioning spilling my coffee while running out the door or having grape juice dribbled on it during a sloppy kiss from one of my kiddos. Or maybe it's the fact that this look reminds me of a warm, sunny day. I mean, how could you not feel like you're on vacation toting around that beautiful straw bag? Either way, this white ensemble looks amazing on photographer Sam Riles. 

See how to recreate the whole thing for just $102 below. That even leaves you some cash to have a little fun with some jewelry. This tassel necklace would be perfect.

SUMMER SHIFT DRESSES

/

To keep my wardrobe fresh, each season I add a few truly special pieces to my wardrobe. I've always adored the simplicity of a nice shift dress, but with summer fast approaching I opted for a one with a little more flair. The moment I laid eyes on this Alice + Olivia southwestern shift dress from Neiman Marcus, I knew I had to have it. I love how classic and comfy the shape of this dress is, and the subtle flare of the bell sleeves just elevates the style. The white is perfect for hot summer days, but the bold geometric print adds some intrigue and makes it stand out from any other dress I own. I'm not usually one to wear neon, but there's just the right amount of tasteful lime green on this dress to give it a nice bright pop of color without being overpowering.

 To shop this look for yourself, head to Neiman Marcus or browse the similar dresses below.

Today we're breaking down this pin, showcasing the cutest spring outfit featured on Luella & June. If you've been keeping up my with recent blog posts, you've seen I'm quite the fan of off-the-shoulder tops. I especially love this one with it's knotted sleeves (another trend I've talked about recently) and blue spring hue. Also, how amazing does this outfit look against that bright orange door? The orangey yellow earrings are the perfect final touch with the blue blouse, as they're contrasting colors. Get this whole look below for just $105. Talk about a deal!

EVERYDAY STYLE WITH DIAMONDS

/

Marilyn always said, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend," but honestly the only diamonds I wear are on my wedding band. It's not because I don't like them because Lord knows I would wear them if I had more, but I have never had the budget to be a collector of the finer things in life. That's until Shane Co. started making some stunning fashion pieces at great prices. I'm excited to team up with Shane Co. again to share with you some special jewelry that you can wear every day without breaking the bank.

First things first, diamond studs. They are a classic piece of jewelry that has been missing from my wardrobe, and my kids won't pull on them! I love that they go with everything. I don't ever have to take them out.

This diamond fashion ring is a stunner. It's unique in it's shape, but, again, it goes with everything, feels comfortable on my hand and it can't come off easily. 

Long necklaces are pretty much out of the question right now since Levi has started teething, but this shorter silver piece with a pearl also goes with everything and has so much meaning behind it. I love that the design showcases a mother and child, and is a daily reminded of the special role I have as a mom. 

Bracelets have always been hard for me to fit because I have tiny wrists. I also find them annoying when I'm typing or writing, but wearing ones that are made up of links with some diamonds thrown in...It pretty much throws all of my discouragements out the window. 

What I also love about wearing nice, quality jewelry like these pieces from Shane Co. is that I know I can pass them down to Elle and Levi when they are older. They truly are treasures that we can have in our family for generations to come, and I know the costume jewelry I buy at other stores won't always last forever. 

And, by the way, yes, these are white pants and I'm holding a baby. You can do it! Just keep a bottle of bleach close by. haha! You can get find this chambray shirt and these denim cropped pants at Alixandra Collections.
