My Absolute Favorite Leggings

A T T E N T I O N. I have found the perfect pair of leggings. More like perfect brand of leggings, but you know what I mean. If you have ever had the pleasure of slowly maneuvering/dancing/struggling to get into a pair of SPANX leggings, you understand when I say this might be the greatest gift to the females of the world. Guys are great too, and I still think kids are the spice of life, but damn SPANX, I just want to say THANK YOU.

I bought my first pair of SPANX leggings last winter, and my life was forever changed. I went through multiple years of trying different faux leather leggings (because who wants to wear real pants when you can wear leggings that look like pants), and was never truly satisfied. It was a mix of the material not being that great, to fits that just weren't as flattering as they could be, to the length not being long enough for an ankle boot. These leggings take care of all of those issues; they're long enough (I'm 5'10"!!), suck you in in all the right places, and the material is top notch. I bought the original faux leather leggings last year, and added this camo print faux leather pair to my closet a couple weeks ago. And the best part? These new arrivals are currently marked down for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and will be for another week! Stop buying multiple pairs of cheap leggings, and just splurge on a high quality pair. You'll thank me later (and so will your closet space!). Happy shopping Loves! xoxo

New Sunnies + My Favorite Jeans

Hi loves! Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week started out on the right foot. I know mine did (even with a few obstacles), thanks to these floral sunnies! Seriously, how cute are these?? I was looking for a pair of round sunglasses (LOVE my Ray-Bans but I wanted to change it up for a minute), and I stumbled upon these - it was love at first sight. I mean, how can someone have anything even close to a bad day when they have daisies on their sunglasses? Daisies + tortoise shell equals perfection in my book when it comes to finding that unique, stand-out from the crowd pair of sunnies.

AND, I wanted to share my new favorite jeans with you guys. You can't go wrong with a pair of black, destructed denim, and the released hem takes this pair to the next level. This number from William Rast fits like a glove, and makes me feel so good about myself every time I put them on! With the high rise cut and almost jegging-like feel, they are a great slimming skinny jean to add to your closet. My mom ended up buying a pair too because I couldn't stop raving about them! I've grabbed three pairs of William Rast jeans in the past two months, and I'm not looking back. I will gladly continue to fuel this obsession with zero guilt - how often can a girl say that she finds the perfect pair of jeans?? (Answer: three times in two months). Do you have any denim brands that you swear by? Leave a comment below! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Denim Jacket // Stripes // Trainers

A few of my spring essentials include a denim jacket, stripe tee and a fun pair of colorful trainers - I've been living in all three of these, whether it's wearing them together as an outfit, or separately with other pieces. I just can't get enough of them! This chambray denim anorak jacket from MAX jeans is super soft and lightweight; a.k.a the perfect layering piece for unpredictable spring weather. I love that I can cinch the waist on the jacket as well to add some shape for a more feminine look.

On to the red trainers - I'm obsessed with these! Michael Kors - you did well. The first time I saw them I knew that they had to be mine. I wear heels basically every day for work, and my feet have definitely been feeling the aftereffects of that lately. On the weekends when I'm running errands I still want to look cute and trendy, and these are the perfect way to accomplish that - they're super comfortable, easy to get around in, and provide a fun pop of color to any outfit. If you want to dress them up a bit, pair with a ribbed midi dress and leather jacket for more of a metro chic look!
