MY FAVORITE JEWELRY BRANDS

Jewelry is one of my favorite things to add to an outfit, over shoes and bags. The jewelry you pair with an outfit makes all the difference. Even though I love different kinds of jewelry, I always seem to come back to my favorite pieces. I love simple gold jewelry, there is something about subtle dainty pieces that I can’t get enough of. However, since I am 25, still paying off college debt, and I live in a very expensive city… I don’t have the bank roll to be making high end jewelry purchases. That being the said, I have found pieces that fit my budget and my lifestyle.

Even though I don’t buy high end jewelry, I still expect quality. I want to be able to wear pieces that won’t tarnish. Nothing is more infuriating then spending money on things that don’t last!

GET READY FOR SANDAL SEASON 2019

Are you ready for the sandal season this summer? I’m not! I still have to make my toes look presentable and of coarse need to go shopping for sandals! I came up with some of my favorite picks this season in each category of heels, espadrilles, strappy, and slide sandals. Espadrilles and mules are SO in this season and I can’t wait to pair them with so many outfits.

If you have been following me for awhile, you will know I’m obsessed with neutrals. I am trying to branch out with patterns and colors, but not too much… baby steps, right?!

All of the shoes below are linked, all you have to do is click the + to be redirected!

Now all that you have all of the sandals you need for the season, it’s time to get a pedicure and wait by the door for the shoes to be delivered! What shoes are you strutting this summer?

SPRITZ COCKTAIL

I am hoping that if I keep making Spring and Summer recipes that it will encourage the weather to warm up! I have been interested in making a spritz cocktail ever since it hit Instagram like crazy last year. Unfortunately, I was in the process of moving and adjusting to life in Chicago, so I didn’t get the chance to try it out. I posted a Spritz photo to my Instagram and got several questions about how to make it or what recipe I used. As requested, here is the Aperol Spritz recipe I use.

Even though this trend came out of no where, I am all of the sudden obsessed. Instead of shades of pink I am looking for a stylish gold or, as always, leopard print. Shockingly, when I looked up barrettes there weren’t many options on my favorite boutique websites. None the less, I went on a hunt for the perfect barrettes for you. Below are the categories of barrettes that you are sure to find at least one hair piece you will love.
