Hi Loves! I hope everyone had a safe and fun Independence Day! And remembered sunscreen. I did, but I didn't apply it to my legs (because they seriously never burn!), and guess what happened? They burned. Ugh.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys about an adorable boutique that I found recently, because they have the C U T E S T product, and all at very affordable prices! The boutique is called Versona (shopversona.com), and has locations all across the country! Even though they have multiple locations, they only get one or two size runs per style at each store, so you won't see many (or any) people walking around wearing the same outfit as you - absolutely love that! Versona has so many trendy striped options right now; perfect since stripes are SO big this summer!! I rounded up three of my favorites and have linked all outfit details below. Happy shopping Loves! xoxo

Just wanted to hop on here quick and talk about this super fun jumpsuit, plus my top five tips for cleaning/organizing your closet! First off, this jumpsuit is P E R F E C T - it is so beyond comfortable, and works for any type of summer weather. I just wore this bridesmaid dress shopping with my friend for her wedding, and it was 95 degrees and humid. The lightweight material made the fact that I was wearing pants completely unnoticeable, and was actually preferred since I avoided that awkward leg sweat from sitting in one place for more than 20 minutes!! Does anyone else totally relate to this issue when it's this dang hot out?? Also, don't get me wrong - not complaining in any way about the sun and warm weather - this is my favorite season!

Ok, on to the good stuff. As you may have seen, I spent TWO WHOLE DAYS cleaning and organizing my closet last week, and I want to share my top tips so you can get your organizing game on too! I was so stressed out by my mess of a closet, and finishing this massive project literally gave me life! Follow these tips and you'll be a closet organizing ninja in no time -

  1. Do a little at a time - Spending a half hour a day tackling the organization of your closet makes it much easier to get started. Clean out just one drawer of your dresser, organize just your shoes, etc., and then come back tomorrow! Or, if you're like me, and let your closet get to the point of no return, just take the whole day (or more) and get it done. You'll feel a lot better. Trust me.
  2. DECLUTTER. This is the most important part. If you haven't worn something in over a year, let it go. From my experience, taking everything out and slowly adding it back in is the easiest. Start by adding back the items that you know you love or wear all the time. Start a "maybe" pile next - try everything on in this pile and take a look in the mirror. What's your first impression? If it's "meh" or you wouldn't buy it if you saw it at the store tomorrow, toss it. Get rid of anything that's too big or doesn't fit you anymore, or is damaged and unable to be fixed.
  3. Invest in coordinating hangers! This will make your closet much more aesthetically pleasing. I personally love velvet hangers - they prevent your clothes from slipping off and ending in a pile on the floor, and they are thin, which means more space for the clothes you love!
  4. Color coordinate! This will make finding that one specific shirt you want to wear a breeze when you're running late for work in the morning. I typically sort my clothing by type/silhouette, and then color coordinate within each of those sections.
  5. Store out of season or least used clothing in clear plastic bins in less accessible areas of your closet. For me, this means storing my sweaters in the spring/summer on my top shelves that are harder to reach. Just keep a little ladder nearby in case you need a second layer on a chilly summer night.

When you're all done, sell your gently used clothing and accessories at a resale boutique, and donate everything else! Do you have any tips you'd like to add? Drop a comment below! Happy shopping (and organizing) Loves!

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

Everyone is saying that denim is huge this year, but does the denim trend really ever slow down? In my eyes, it's a staple that is always a great go-to option. The cut or style of the moment will definitely change, but denim in general is always "on."

And when denim is made into a jumpsuit, like this super soft tencel jumpsuit from Gap, can we really go wrong?! This is one of the comfiest pieces of clothing to grace the Earth this spring, and I can't get enough of it. And for all you tall girls out there like myself, this jumpsuit has adjustable straps so no worries about it being short-waisted!

Wear this jumpsuit all by itself (the crossback straps are such a cute detail) or pair with a blazer or duster cardigan. I chose a striped seersucker blazer to add some texture to the look and keep the color palette light. Mixing the prints a little further, I threw on some furry leopard heels for a fun effect. Since the blazer and heels are neutral colors, mixing these various prints and textures was more than ok! Link to the jumpsuit is below. Happy shopping loves! xoxo

As jumpsuits are becoming more and more popular in stores, they're also becoming more popular in my closet. Putting together an outfit could not be any easier when it consists of one piece of clothing. This Sam Edelman jumpsuit takes girly florals to a whole new level with the addition of black and grey throughout, creating a bit edgier look that's perfect for going directly from day to night. Wear to work with an oversize boyfriend blazer for a professional look, and remove once you get to happy hour. No one ever said "business in the front, party in the back" couldn't be an actual thing.
