Ruffles and Flowers

top // similar skirt // shoes // similar tote // hat

I’m going to be totally honest right now, I am struggling to write this post b/c I’m so distracted by #RHBH! These crazy women are just so crazy and I am drinking all of the tea that is being spilled! What I’m really looking forward to is Sunday’s episode of #RHOA. Do any of you guys watch?? I’m such a sucker for trashy reality tv! Hahah ok moving on.

If you read this post then you know how much I have been loving ruffles so when I saw this cute red top, I just couldn’t resist! First of all it’s less than $60, great quality and oh so cute for the spring and summer time! I absolutely love pairing red and white– I think they look so good together! Here are some read and white favorites:

My panama hat is my favorite! I used to wear the j.crew one all the time but after losing two of them and breaking one, I wanted a cheaper alternative. This hat is only $20 and I personally think that the shape and quality is much better than the j.crew one in my humble opinion. Spring and Summer is a time for hats so here are a few of my favorites:

2017 Spring Trend: Palm Prints & Ruffles

ruffle top // palm print shorts // beach blanket

2017 Spring Trend

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you have seen palm prints and ruffles everywhere! It’s safe to say that these trends are here to stay through summer. I myself am a huge fan of both. I couldn’t get enough of palm prints and banana leafs prints when I visited Hawaii last month and ruffles have always been a huge favorite trim of mine since the beginning of time. The ruffle v-neck makes this top flattering to wear and I love the eyelet fabric. I can se myself wearing this top with denim cut off’s, skirts and jeans. The shorts are so comfortable! I mean, who doesn’t like an elastic waist band? Haha!

Here are a few of my palm print and ruffles favorites!

Taking a Blogging Break

3 Reasons To Take A Blogging Break!

I’ve been on a blogging break and I have been LOVING it! After 5 years of blogging you would think that I’m used to putting together posts day after day but to be honest, it’s been a little difficult for me to do it lately. This is certainly not the first time I have felt this way and each time this happens I find that it’s good to step back and breathe. Today I’ll be sharing my 3 reasons to take a blogging break and I would love to hear your thoughts and experience!

Recharge & Relax
I love not having the burden to upload a blog post or keep up with social media! Sometimes you just need to forget about the iPhone and let it be! It’s been nice not being glued to my phone each hour or working and preparing blog posts for the next day. And contrary to what a lot of non-bloggers think and whether you want to believe me or not, blogging is actually a LOT of work.

Reassess
This one is major. Whenever I take breaks I always ask myself two important questions, “why are you doing this?” and “Is it worth it?” Answers to these two questions will help reveal your desire to continue or not.

Reactivate
A good break away will allow you to return with a clear mind for a fresh start. I usually don’t come back until I’m ready and inspired to keep going.

Summer Gingham Dress

Sharing the perfect gingham dress with you today.

zara dress, similar here, here and here // shoes // sea&grass picnic tote c/o // hat // sunnies // necklace

Spring is in the air and I am loving it because that just means I can wear dresses all the time! Yay! I rarely shop in Zara for myself but last week I was killing time so I took a peek and ended up finding this little red gingham dress. Y’all know how much I love gingham– my husband said that I like anything that looks like a picnic blanket and he’s right haha. I linked this exact dress for you but I also linked a few similar ones.

My picnic tote is from Sea & Grass and is the same one I took with me to Oahu but in a bigger size! I LOVED the smaller tote so much that it only made sense for me to have the large size right? Have you guys heard of Sea & Grass? It’s such a lovely company with an even lovelier back story which you can read about here. For every purchase made from Sea & Grass a portion of the proceeds will go to the Children in Thailand in need of education and will also provide an income to the hard-working women who hand make the beautiful and natural handbags.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Rylie and I ended up catching a cold so I didn’t do much except lounge around and catch up on my housewives! Hope you all have a great week and stay healthy! xo
