Daily Fashion Show: Love is in the Air

Love is in the air my friends, and in more than 1 way. And what better way to celebrate than by expressing it with your clothing?! I chose to wear little heart details in my jewelry and accessories and my new cloud print dress in this special occasion.



The first little love story is that my cousin had her baby on Sunday so now we have a new little girl in the family. She is beautiful and I love her already! Second love story is one of my friends from work got engaged and I couldn't be more happy for her. The last love story, though minor, is my new sunglasses I bought myself in Vegas. Tiffany's....need I say more?



Here they are! I've wanted them for almost two years. They actually have little interchangeable charms for the sides. I chose the classic Tiffany's heart in blue. It also came with the letter "T" and then a simple diamond. My other favorite part of these is the case that it came with pictured above. It's like opening a box from Tiffany's everyday!



So much to be happy about lately, I'm so lucky to be surrounded by love!

Weekly Secret Weapon: Spray it Up

Ok, so maybe it's not a secret, but I'm giving you all a great tip this week. When you are going on vacation, expecially a place that is requiring of bikinis and short dresses, I highly recommend that you get a spray tan.

As many of you know, or if you don't know, you can tell by simply looking a picture of me, I am extremely fair skinned. I'm not into tanning and definitely not into risking my health for a glow. But when it got closer and closer to my trip to Vegas, I decided that I wanted to look hot and be tan.

I had gotten a spray tan before, however, the ones I got were in those rooms that you have to hold your breath in for what seems like forever. I had asked around the office and found a salon by me that did airbrush spray tanning. I was scared, but intrigued, so I decided to check it out.

I made my appointment and 40 mins. later, I was golden and beautiful, without having to do any damage to my skin. The next day, when I was able to shower, I revealed a fun and sexy glow. I didn't realize that being tan would make me feel more confident and beautiful, but it totally did. And if I have 1 piece of advice for all of you that have just as white of skin as me, get an airbrush spray tan before you vacation, you'll be glad you did!

Bonus-I was able to wear white shorts, something I would've never been able to do before. Wee!

Fashion Target: 4 Years of Missing You

Well my friends, it's been four, very long years since my wonderful, beautiful Mother has been gone. I miss her more that I can ever explain, but I feel as though I can only do one thing, and that is remember the good times everyday as much as I can.

My most favorite accessory that I have aand cherish is my teardrop necklace. This lovely necklace actually holds the ashes of my mom so she gets to be with me, next to my heart, every day. I've found a few images through the past year of me wearing this.













Although these are only a couple of pictures, I actually wear this almost every other day. I may never have her back, but at least I can be close to her :)

Daily Fashion Show: Garden Girl

True to my roots, I love wearing floral-printed anything. Seriously love this dress, it's so light and airy, perfect for if the weather decides to warm up on a regular basis!





This belt is the perfect touch. I love the little bow applique on the front and that is made of straw. It's both girlie and fun, exactly like me!



Love our newly painted banister on our balcony? Haha, they missed some spots :)

Daily Fashion Show: Free as a Bird

So I must really like birds this week, maybe because it's Spring, or maybe because it's elegant. Not sure why, but I am seriously loving all of the bird printed things I've been seeing lately.



I saw this top at Anthropologie and just melted. The one thing I've learned about that store is if you see something that you like, you have to buy it. Otherwise, it will be gone and won't go on clearance. I'm telling the truth here!



Look how great this top is up close. I loved the print, but what sold me was the beading on a few of the birds. How seriously sweet is that?



Now, it may be Spring, but I seriously can't wait until Summer carries me away. Maybe one of these birds will!
