Floral dress date night

Posted on June 6, 2016 by Lauren

Hi loves! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Honestly, Tom and I had plans to do a bunch of things around the apartment and we ended up catching up on sleep and relaxing most of it instead! Yesterday it was so rainy and I love nothing more then having the windows open and listening to the rain, its SO calming. So overall we had a great weekend even if we didn’t get done the things we wished to do, there is always next weekend 🙂

We did go out Saturday night for a little Mexican dinner in town. I decided to get dressed up in this cute floral sleeveless turtleneck dress I bought that has an open back (pictures above). I decided to wear a cute fitted, strappy, crop top underneath it to complete the look. I also did a fun braid in my hair to change it up from my usual down and wavy look. I got my dress at a little boutique in the city but I found a couple cute ones that have the same sort of style that I found here:

I am wearing gold ones in my picture but I also have the silver ones that I love!

I also like these alternatives, bag 2, bag 3, t-shirt 2, sandals 2, sandals 3

Hi dolls! TGIF! I hope everyone enjoyed a nice short week. I loved having Monday off, I think that should be the new norm, especially since Monday is by far the worst day of the week LOL. It made this week fly by! The weather over the holiday weekend was GORGEOUS in NY, lots of activities outside which is always a plus!

I thought I would end the week with some staple items. I love go to outfits that are cute but also casual and comfortable. I just love a good t-shirt and jeans and I thought these accessories were perfect as well. You can never go wrong with a cute choker necklace and a nice light lip color!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Neon Summer

Posted on May 24, 2016 by Lauren

Hi loves!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I got to celebrate my birthday Saturday with a few of my friends and we had so much fun! We went to a NY Mets game (and they won!!) and then out to a nice dinner and drinks. I am so exhausted from it, still! The older I get the less able I am to go out til late haha. Oh the joys of aging!

I am so excited we are finally getting into warm weather. I have been SO pumped that our Euro trip is around the corner and I have been buying items here and there for the trip. I have always loved bright fun colors for the summer time and these few items I just couldn’t pass up and thought I would share!

Lilac Festival & New Hair

Posted on May 11, 2016 by Lauren

Hiya Dolls!

I have been slacking big time lately. I just wish I had unlimited amounts of time to really post all the fun things I have planned out! Hopefully that will be changing soon though. I hope you are all having a great week and happy hump day! I thought I would share some fun pictures from this past weekend. I went back home to visit with my family and celebrate Mother’s Day! In Rochester they were having the Lilac festival, lilacs were not really in bloom but I just love all the vendors (and the other flowers) and it was a 70 degree day so why not? I love this denim dress I found at Gap the other day, and every new item in the store was also 40% off so how could I say no?!

Sisters! Denim dress from Gap, also love this and this one

Sisters and my bestie ❤

Hubby and I. Sunglasses are from ZeroUV. Similar booties here and here

Going blonde!

Finished look!

Selfie to try and capture the blonde outside. I love how it came out!

Just had an amazing Italian dinner to celebrate our Madre ❤

Don’t know what I would do without these two!

Enjoy the rest of your week, we are only 2 and half days away from the weekend (yes I am counting lol)

Saks Off 5th

Posted on May 3, 2016 by Lauren

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I cannot believe it is already MAY! Time has been flying by a little too fast. I love this month, mainly because its my birthday month 🙂 but also because its the time when the weather in NY finally starts to get warm enough to not wear tons of layers.

As I am sure you have all figured out by now I love shopping and when its a good deal I just cannot resist to talk about it and share it with everyone! I think its silly to pay full retail for most things. Saks Off 5th is having an amazing sale with up to 70% off plus their regular deals are usually pretty awesome.

These are just a few of the items I think are nice and versatile for summer. I am just in such a spring/summer mood with items I am currently buying. I just love simplistic easy to wear outfits for once the weather changes and gets nice and hot (my fave!)

Happy shopping loves!

Chicnova Clothing

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Lauren

Hi loves, Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far. My week hasn’t been too bad, mainly because of the gorgeous weather we are finally seeing!

I am excited to share with you an awesome site with amazing prices and deals called Chicnova! I was shocked when I saw how great their prices are! I did some research because prices this great usually mean they are coming in from overseas and I was right. I read a bunch of reviews and most of what I read was positive. Shipping taking a bit longer was the biggest negative comment I read but other then that the site seams pretty legit. I have not yet placed an order with them but plan to do so and will give a review after.

I thought I would share what I have in my cart. I have been trying to slowly purchase new items for our fun Euro trip coming up in July. Here are some things I just couldn’t live without!

Red floral maxi

Cover up

Grey knit mid length skirt

Off the shoulder mini dress

I just love dresses in the summer months and I think all of these are super cute and versatile. When you travel for a long period of time you want to make sure you bring things that you can wear a few times without looking like your wearing the same outfit over and over LOL. I just love that skirt because it can be worn so many different ways and look different each time.

Have a great rest of the week!

Beach getaway outfits

Posted on April 7, 2016 by Lauren

Hi all!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far! I thought a post about a beach was needed since this “spring” has been rather cold here in NY lately. I mean it snowed the other day…and they are calling for possible snow again this Saturday?! Ugh, I just need to dream of beaches to get me through this haha.

Well my hubby and I officially booked our summer vaca!! We are going to Denmark (to visit family) and since we are able to go for 3 weeks we decided to wrap in Italy and Iceland to the trip (I am so pumped!). So we will do some swimming and beach days while in Copenhagen but we are going to Rome and Amalfi Coast in Italy (beach attire all day!) so I thought this post would be perfect. I need to find some super cute outfits for the beach, day as well as nights out on the town and love all of these options.

Here are some items I came up with. Enjoy!

Beach Look:

can find this here

Love this one piece!

INC International Concepts Tropical Beach Bag

super cute beach bag

perfect for beach or day!

Love these ones too!

Day Look:

You need a fun summer bag that is bright and can be paired with anything

Night on the town:

I just love lighter colors in the summer and maxis can be great for day or night

Image 4 of ASOS Midi Dress with Plunge Neckline

or this peachy, flowy dress is dreamy for night time too!

Moroccan Mirrored Clutch - Front cropped

this bag would look amazing with any dress at night or even during the day. Love the Moroccan flare!

love a wedge for night time in the summer

lace up and chunky heel are another perfect summer combo

As you can see I am super excited for summer time and this trip. Happy shopping 🙂

Do you guys have any fun summer plans? What is your favorite place to travel to in the summer??

Spring time looks

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Lauren

Hiya dolls!! TGIF! So my posts seem to keep happening only once a week which is just not cool. I plan on changing that over this weekend with some fun things I have coming up to blog about! I hope everyone made it through the week so they can enjoy the weekend! I am going home this weekend to visit my family for my dads 60th birthday, I am so excited to see everyone. It sucks living away from family, luckily mine is only a 5 hour drive away and not a plane ride away, but still, its tough.

So I thought I would help start your weekends off right with some fun spring deals I came across. Even though it is supposed to SNOW this weekend where I am going I am still dreaming of spring time!

For Love & Lemons Santa Rosa Maxi Dress in Vintage Blue Floral

I am so in love with this boho look!

I love a nice light scarf in the spring to add to outfits

I think these wedges would look so cute with any dress/jeans this spring and summer!

The gold, white face, is just so simple and springy to me, and its on sale here!

I just love the boho vibe of Free People and when I find items I love on sale its a win, win. Like this super cute blouse!

RE/DONE Repaired & Destroyed Skinny Jeans - Skinny - Barneys.com

Nothing like a skinny white jean/semi distressed to wear this spring and summer-LOVE these!

They also come in tan and yellow and are on SALE! These with the white jeans…so need these!

Any outfit this spring can be completed with this super cute backpack and it is insanely discounted!

Happy shopping my loves!
