Hey Guys,
A few Sundays ago I spent Father's Day at my dad's house in Boston and decided to do a quick outfit of the day photo shoot. The weather was beautiful but being in the direct sunlight got hot really quick! I loved the simplicity of my outfit and wanted to share it with you. If you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I'm all about the casual fashion. A pair of cut off jean shorts and a white tie front tee is as casual as you can get! I added a pair of wedges to spice the outfit up a little. I got my shorts from Stitch Fix but linked some similar items in the widget below!

Spring/Summer Fashion Haul Part 1: Target, Primark, Express, & H&M

Hey Guys,

For the first time in years I have been slacking with getting 2 blog posts up per week. I just haven't had much content ready for reviews and had a huge fashion haul I was waiting to film. I finally got around to filming and editing the haul.  I am currently working on a few different beauty reviews so hopefully by next week I will be back to 2 posts a week. I also have a Switch Fix coming Friday so I will most likely do an unboxing and try on. Lastly, I've ordered some other fashion items including sneakers, bags, and some more clothing so I'm not sure if I should do another haul video? I am very active on Instagram so if you don't see anything on here make sure to check out what I have going on over there. Sometimes I post mini reviews and swatches on my IG page. I also post makeup looks pretty often too. Back to this post... I've purchased a ton of clothes over the past few months from the Spring and Summer. I filmed a fashion haul and try on that was over 40 minutes long so I decided to split it up into two videos. This first video features clothing from Target, Primark, Express, and H&M. The second video is all Fashion Nova. To check out part one see the video below!

Spring Fashion Haul: Fashion Nova, H&M, American Eagle, & LuLaRoe

Hey Guys,
Today I am sharing a spring fashion haul. We had some really nice weather a couple months ago and I really got excited for the spring. I started buying a bunch of stuff and now it feels like winter again! Ugh! Anyways, I'm still super excited for the spring and can't wait for warmer weather. Check out my video below to see what I picked up! 

OOTD: This is How We Roll at Mohegan Sun

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to share the outfit I wore to the Florida Georgia Line concert at Mohegan Sun. For those of you not from New England, Mohegan Sun is a casino in Connecticut. Its about 1 hour and 45 minutes from me. They have a huge area there for concerts and sports events. I actually took a ton of video and some pictures at dinner and the concert. I saved them to my snap memories and apparently they didn't save! I'm totally bummed out. 

Anyways, the concert was awesome and it was a fun night. We started off by having dinner at Ballo which is an Italian restaurant at Mohegan Sun. 

Next we went to find our seats at the arena/stadium and have a few drinks. There were 3 opening acts. Ryan Follese, Chris Lane, and Dustin Lynch. All of the acts were great. 

Florida Georgia killed it just like their last show that I went to in the Summer. After the concert we went to the nightclub at the casino called Avalon and danced for a of couple hours. 

Spring Fashion Favorites

Hey Guys,
Today I am going to share some of my fashion related favorites for the spring. A big thank you to Lily Beauty with Lily and Cara Kindly Unspoken for helping me figure out how to create shopping bars and collages. I have been really lucky to have so many of my blogger friends willing to lend a helping hand. I truly appreciate it!

When it comes to fashion, I have my go to stores and websites. I am going to try to broaden the stores that I feature in my fashion posts. However, I do consider myself more of a "budget friendly" fashion blogger. While I splurge every once in a while, I very rarley spend a lot on clothing. And what I mean by that is alot per item. haha So you will mostly see "affordable" stuff on these lists not high end unless requested. As most of you know, Fashion Nova is one of my favorite fashion brands. They are not on the shopping app that I used for this post so those hauls and posts will always be separate. Retailers that  you WILL see on these lists are my favorites like Express, H&M, Forever21, and Target.

Going forward, you will see more of these type of posts on my blog. I have been pretty bored with all of my reviews and unboxings. While I will still be doing those, I will throw in some more fashion and beauty seasonal favorites, trends, wishlists, etc. Please let me know if there is something specific that you would like to see on my blog! I would also love your feedback on this post!

Now lets get back to this post. Spring Fashion! Below are my favorite trends that I am seeing this season. Check out the categories below with details on what I am loving for spring and why. I have also has shared some examples and where to find them!
