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

Gingham Jumpsuit

The gingham obsession strikes again. I seriously can't get enough of it this summer! And the best part? Even though this print is so hot right now, it will never really go out of style since it's such a classic - meaning that I'll be able to wear my gingham print pieces in the seasons to come as well. This makes my guilty conscience a little less present when I think about all the shopping I've been doing.

This little number from Tobi (www.tobi.com) is a fun option for the gingham trend, and the fact that the print is black and white makes it easy to accessorize. I threw on my destructed denim jacket (which I've had on repeat this summer) since it was a little chilly, and added some block heel sandals to dress it up a bit. Jumpsuits are such an easy "throw on and go" option, and I absolutely LOVE it - especially if I'm running late, which is usually the case. What are some of your favorite trends or gingham pieces of the summer? Comment below! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Pattern Mixing Gone Right

Happy Thursday loves! I am SO excited to be showing you this outfit - I've been wearing each piece separately on repeat, and can't get over how well it all came together for this look! This is easily one of my favorite outfits so far this summer! I don't know about you guys, but I love mixing unexpected patterns to change things up every once in a while. This combination works for three reasons:

• The color palette between the dress and sandals mixes well and doesn't clash - the commonality of white in each pattern helps tie these together!
• The prints are not overly loud - since they aren't "screaming" at you when you look at them, there isn't one pattern that takes over the total look.
• The two prints are far enough apart from each other that it's almost like you're looking at one print at a time.

Also, this denim jacket is to die for - light wash and destructed is very in, and darker wash jackets are fading out. The denim jacket itself will never go out of style, but the popularity of wash/details and silhouette will change. This is the perfect third piece to complete any outfit for your summer nights! And these gingham sandals? So on trend right now. Get your hands on anything gingham that you can - this is the print of the summer! Happy shopping loves! xoxo
