My Sunday Best

Align Pant // Crop Top // Nike Running Shoes // Louis Vuitton Handbag (similar here) // Link Bracelet // Watch // Cocktail Ring

My mom always told me growing up, that Sundays are the day of rest. Therfore, if you happen to catch me on a Sunday, 9 times out of 10 I look like this. Except I usually don't have makeup on, and my hair is dirty and in a bun. I love love love this entire look! My crop tee was just released in a new color, and I've already added it to my cart. These tee's do not stay in stock (try saying that fast 3 times out loud)! I was holding off on writing this blog post because the top wasn't fully stocked in any of the 5 color options, until today! The cropped length of this shirt pairs perfectly with high rise bottoms and is great for easy layering.  I also really like that the fabric is made of Lycra! This helps the top from losing it's shape, and makes it nice and stretchy as well! I also cannot rave about these Align pants enough! They are engineered to feel like a second layer of skin, so much so that I literally forget I even have them on sometimes. Not kidding! The waistband is also super soft, and lies flat against your waist nicely. These come in 7 color options, and I own pretty much all of them!

See this blogpost, and this post for some of the other colors I have! I also just scooped up these olive ones, xoxo.

Tularosa Romper in the Dominican Republic

Tularosa Romper c/o Boem // Marc Fisher Wedges // Pyramid Y Necklace // Julie Vos Cocktail Ring // Hoop Earrings // Rebecca Minkoff Handbag // Julie Vos Link Bracelet 

It's a gloomy, rainy, Monday in Charlotte and all I can think about lately is summer! I swear I should've been a summer baby because there's something about the sun that just makes me so happy. Anyway, I wore this romper to dinner one night in the Dominican, and I'm hooked! I'm tempted to buy it in the second print (here). I never used to be a romper girl because most of them aren't long enough through the torso for my 5'8" frame, but that's not the case with this one. I also really like that the sleeves are full length and not capped, and that this is a looser fit - leaving plenty of room for the "all you can eat" part of our resort! 

The accessories I added to this look, really made the outfit! My shoes are new, and matched the romper perfectly. They have a thick wedge on them, but they aren't too steep. So, they were actually a dream to walk in! I also love love love this Pyramid Y necklace I scooped up at fashion week in New York earlier this year! It's the perfect accent piece for this neckline. I've been wearing it nonstop! I can always count on Baublebar for a good set of accessories! 

We've got a busy week ahead of us again! I'm headed to Charleston on Friday for Charleston Fashion Week, and can't wait to share the experience with you all via Instagram Stories! Stay tuned!

Instagram Round-up - The Dominican Republic

Happy Hump Day! We are halfway through the week, so I thought I'd give ya'll a little spring/summer inspiration with a highly requested Instagram round up from my Dominican vacation! 

I've gotten a lot of questions about sizing in the Show Me Your Mumu clothes I've posted lately. I always wear a small in their clothes, including both tops and bottoms, and this dress!

Show Me Your Mumu Rancho Mirage Tunic Dress c/o Boem // Handbag // Hat // Link Bracelet // Gladiator Sandals (old, similar here)

Of all the bathing suits I own, I think this is my favorite! I love that one pieces are back in, and this one is so flattering in all areas! I really like how high cut it is around the hips. We took this picture in two seconds after being on the boat all day!

Minkpink Swimsuit // Aviator Sunglasses 

Okay, I guess I have a lot of favorites because this combination gets me excited everytime I see it! Have you ever seen something match more perfectly!? I mentioned this on my Instagram, but if I could only wear one pair of shorts for the rest of my life, it would be these!

Vitamin A Swimsuit Top // Vitamin A Swimsuit Bottoms // Pyramid Y Necklace // Swing Shorts, full blogpost here 

Bringing the retro vibes back with this one! These pants were unbelievably comfortable and cool.

Show Me Your Mumu Bam Bam Bells // OTS Top // Clutch (color not available)

It isn't a vacation, without a maxi! The print on this, and florals in general are giving me all the heart eyes right now!

Yumi Kim Maxi // Baublebar Earrings // Clutch

I am going to blog about this romper, but here's a quick reminder of how perfect it is! It comes in two prints.

A bathing suit that doesn't break the bank is always a winner in my book! One of the biggest bathing suit trends this spring and summer is the threading on this suit, you'll see a decent amount of brands with their own version of this.

We stayed at the Melia Caribe hotel in the Dominican and had such a blast! I'm so sad it's already over, and can't stop thinking about summer! Is anyone else super fooled after a tropical vacation?! I'm struggling getting back into sweaters! 

Cheers to reminiscing over frozen drinks and crystal clear water, have a great night my friends!

CURRENT VACATION FAVORITES:

Open Back Sweater

BB Dakota Sweater // Rag & Bone Jeans (mine are last seasons similar here) // Steve Madden Sandals 

Spring is fast approaching, and I'm on the hunt for the perfect transition pieces. Overall, it's been fairly warm in the Carolinas over the last few weeks, however, this weekend it dropped back down into the 30's! So this outfit came in handy because while it's still light and "spring" like, It's warmer! I initally saw this top in midnight blue, and immediately fell in love with the open back (I'm a sucker for an open back). When I found out it came in Champagne, I was even happier because I'm obsessed with pairing neutrals together, so I knew this would look great with white jeans. You can never go wrong with a neutral outfit! 

My mom and sister were in town this weekend! We went wedding dress shopping, and I actually think I found the one! Head over to my Instagram Stories to see a peak at what our day looked like, and some of the dresses I tried on!

Did you guys get a chance to shop the Shopbop sale!? I picked up a few key pieces I'm excited about! I'd love to hear what your picks were.

Vitamin A Swimsuit In The Dominican Republic

Vitamin A Swimsuit Top // Vitamin A Swimsuit Bottoms // Show Me Your Mumu Carlos Swing Shorts // Baublebar Y Necklace // Julie Vos Cocktail Ring // Julie Vos Link Bracelet // Tory Burch Sandals // Gold Hoop Earrings

Let me start off by apologizing for my tardiness on blog posts lately! Ya'll life has seriously been insane for us lately. I know I'm behind, but I promise I'll be catching up on everything soon! We are home from the Dominican, and I already wish we were back! I will be doing a full review on the resort later on, but I wanted to start by sharing my favorite beach look to date. 

As I mentioned in my Instagram post, I orginally purchased these swing shorts to wear with a crop top to dinner one night. Once the bathing suit came in, I realized the shorts looked way better with this swimsuit! So I had a quick change of plans. Ya'll, if someone told me I could only wear one pair of shorts for the rest of my life, these would be it! I own them in six different prints (embarrasing, I know), and they're so easy to dress up or down! It has an elastic waist band on it, so if you're like me and you're tummy expands when you eat, not to worry - the Carlos Swing Shorts have you covered for expansion! I really wish you could enter emoji's into blog posts, that deserved a laughing emoji. Anyway, if you scroll wayyyy back to last summer in my IG feed, you'll see the other prints I have them in. You need a pair. 

This bathing suit is also a favorite of mine! Vitamin A just came out with their new collection, and I'm loving all of the neutral tones. I also bought this one to wear in Miami next month. I cannot even begin to describe how well this suit fit! I have a very round back side, so all these extremely cheeky bottoms are just not flattering on me (my opinion). So  finally, I was able to find a pair that fit perfectly without feeling half naked. The top is also extremely flattering for smaller chested women, and it's easily adjustable! 

The best thing about this? The swimsuit is currently up to 25% off! #treatyoself

What To Wear To Shows At New York Fashion Week

NBD Jumpsuit // BB Dakota Jacket // Steve Madden Sandals // Rebecca Minkoff handbag // Baublebar Earrings

What do I wear to New York Fashion Week? This was the million dollar question ladies and gents. Actually, I lost some sleep over it (haha). I really wanted to branch out and go with something edgy, yet femine. Charlotte, North Carolina doesn't have too many opportunities to rock a killer one piece with a plunging neckline, so what better opportunity then at NYFW?! I'm also 5'8", so most jumpsuits don't fit me right through the torso, they're usually too short. This was one of the most slimming and flattering pieces I've ever put on. YES, I know it's expensive - but for an event like this, it's worth it. The quality of the material is excellent, and it just fit like a glove. The plunging neckline gave me the "edge" I was looking for, while the lace sleeves added the perfect amount of "femme." To polish off the look, I added my favorite strappy heel. If you don't own a pair of these, they come in a million colors, and you must buy a pair. 

Okay, now... insert weather scenario. The day before I arrived, the weather gods decided they were going to dump an entire foot of snow all over New York City and provide me with 23 degrees of sheer warmth...How sweet of them!? Wasn't really planning for the "chill" factor, so my jacket was actually a last minute "thank god I have this in my suitcase" addition. It ended up working out beautifully. I've reworked that jacket into so many different outfits, and it proved it's worth all over again last weekend. Lucky for you, it's now on super sale for $24 (I paid $100). 

I picked up my earrings from the Baublebar showroom on my first day in the city. Again, way edgier than I typically go for here - but I'm totally hooked. They easily dress up any outfit!
