I mean, stores… Read more »
Dress c/o* use code LP15 for 15% off your order | Flats | Necklace (similar) | Belt When it comes to dresses, I am all for wearing dresses that are unique and eye-catching.

This dress made an appearance on the blog a few months ago as a beach look (click… Read more »
I avoid going to stores at all costs. I much prefer shopping at online stores from the comfort of my couch with a cup of coffee and my laptop. I like to take my time thinking about my purchase and read reviews on items. And I will even let items sit in my cart for days at a time, just to make sure I really want it, and it’s not an impulse buy. I first got into this habit when… Read more »

*You can enter to win a free whitening kit at the end of this post! ?You have such a beautiful smile!?? That is the best compliment you can receive, in my opinion. Your teeth can be both a source of confidence or anxiety. For example, a friend of mine who lives in Oregon has just had a shimmering set of porcelain veneers fitted. She’d been insecure about her smile all her life and since getting her new teeth has been… Read more »
Dress c/o* | Flats | Belt | Necklace (similar) | Earrings (similar) Finally! A dress that isn’t floral, haha. Loose-fitting, linen dresses are still a pretty new venture for me. But gosh, have I been missing out. This dress is so comfortable! It’s fantastic for the muggy and hot weather we’ve been experiencing…well, except for the day I took these photos. It was actually pretty chilly, haha. Gotta love the ever-changing weather in Wisconsin! This dress is from a new-to-me… Read more »

However, this is my one and only post thus far where I’m mixing and matching floral prints.

When it comes to heels in my closet, this pair of T-strap heels is by far the best pair that I own. Not only are they cute, they also go with many different outfits, ranging from formal to casual looks. The best part about these heels, though, is that they are honest-to-goodness COMFORTABLE. I can actually walk long distances in them too! When I moved to Sydney, Australia and then Rosario, Argentina, these and then a pair of black flats… Read more »

Who doesn’t love a fun pair of shoes?! And these days, there are so many quirky options just a click away! However, weirdly enough, I’ve never really indulged in quirky footwear all that much. I have one lonely pair of panda flats, and that’s as far as my creativity has stretched in the footwear department. But for this summer, I’m thinking I want to kick my shoe game up a notch! I’ve featured a boatload of quirky handbags, printed midi… Read more »
Dress c/o* | Cardigan | Flats | Scarf c/o* | Belt Told you I liked this vintage dress so much I had to wear again ASAP! However, this time I tried some different accessories to spice up the look.

I’m finally wearing a cardigan other than my trusty mustard colored one. Haha…. Read more »
Skirt | Pullover c/o* | Flats | Bag (different color) | Sunglasses (similar) Bring on the florals! Haha. I wear florals all year long, but this time of year is just such an opportune time to take this print to the max. I’ve been coveting this floral skirt for YEARS. However, it wasn’t until now that I finally took the plunge. I had talked myself out of it repeatedly because I really didn’t NEED another skirt. However, I’ve been mentally… Read more »
Dress c/o* | Heels (Old. Similar here & here) | Bracelet c/o* I love vintage-inspired fashion, but authentic vintage dress shopping has always intimidated me. I think this mainly comes to down the fact that I have zero experience with vintage clothing shopping, and I’ve never had anyone to talk to/help me with it. However, that all changed when Laurie from Green Goddess Dressing reached out to me! Laurie owns an authentic vintage clothing Etsy store and also the store,… Read more »
Shirt c/o* | Skirt | Flats | Earrings (similar) | Sunglasses c/o* Happy May the 4th! For anyone who is new here, I’m a big Star Wars fan, and take full advantage to dress in Star Wars apparel on this day each year. (“May the 4th” kind of sounds like “may the force”…get it? Clever, eh?) I didn’t go too over the top this year with my Star Wars outfit…just a subtle AT-AT walker hanging out in the middle of my… Read more »
Dress c/o* Use code LP15 for 15% off (Also here)| Flats (Similar here) | Bag | Necklace (similar here) | Belt Here we go! Styling a smock dress round 2!

I know that’s my personal preference, I like something with a little more structure. But just note, that this dress looks this… Read more »
Can you tell I have weddings on the brain, lately? Haha. I’m really excited to be attending a couple this summer, and I’m standing up in one of my best friend’s this fall! And not everyone loves to wear dresses, but it seems every time I think of what to wear to a wedding… “dress” is all that comes to mind. Dresses are incredibly simple, you throw them on with shoes and bam! You’re good to go. But the problem… Read more »
Top | Cardigan | Cami | Jeans (similar) | Flats | Necklace (similar) | Bag (similar) I’m sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing about the weather by now, but it does play a big factor in the way we dress.

I’ll show a funny picture comparison in a moment what a difference a week made… Read more »
Guest post by Hillary Kline As a self-proclaimed makeup junkie, I have to say, I’ve got a ton of beauty products. You need something to store those products in, right? So, you guessed it, I have multiple makeup bags. All shapes, all sizes, all patterns and colors, but what really counts is what is in those bags. You might be wondering what are the top things that I should have in my makeup bag? It wasn’t easy, but I narrowed… Read more »
Dress c/o* | Sandals | Sunglasses (similar) Boy oh boy was I fortunate last week! While it was snowing and cold in Wisconsin, I was in Myrtle Beach with my family.

(There are a couple bonus photos at the end of the post of my nephew’s first time playing in the ocean!) This gingham dress was… Read more »
I’ve been blabbering for awhile now about all the weddings I have coming up this summer. I’m SO excited I actually have some weddings to go to and will actually be able to attend as well! I love weddings, and I really love picking out dresses for them, haha. The perfect wedding guest dress for me will be girly with some whimsical touches, but not too over-the-top, as all eyes should be on the bride (and not the wedding guest’s… Read more »

Dress c/o* use LP15 for 15% off | Heels | Belt | Necklace (similar) | Earrings c/o* | Lipstick Comfortable and formal are two words that don’t usually go together when you’re talking about clothing.
