Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share a great transitional staple for the for the Spring/Summer and Summer/Fall seasons...the kimono! I have so many and think that they are just so fun and versatile. You can easily dress them up or down and they also work in most seasons. You could really wear these in the winter too but I stick to heavier cardigans and such just because its so cold in New England during the winter months. Kimonos are great layering pieces to be worn over dresses, dress pants, jeans, shorts, and skirts! That is why I think they are a great staple piece. Below I am wearing them with jean shorts, a tank, and wedges for a more casual end of the summer look. I have also worn this same cardigan with a longer tank top, leggings, and flats to work. I plan to wear it with a cropped top and high waisted jeans too! Keep reading to get all the outfit deets! I will also share some of my favorite places to buy Kimonos at the bottom of this post!

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share a beauty event that I attended a few weeks ago in Boston. It's not often that I go to blogging/influencer events in the city. The beauty presence is extremely small here so there aren't many beauty events at all (or that I am aware of). A month or so ago, I got an email from Too Faced saying that they were coming to Boston and wanted to invite me to an event they were holding at Tatte Bakery. I was so excited and honored to get the invite! Keep reading to hear about this event!

OOTD: Newport Vineyards

Hey Guys,
I have recently taken the time to capture more of my OOTD (outfit of the day) so that I can share them with you. These kind of posts are always fun and allow me to style pieces rather than just show you clothing that I purchased in a haul video. I am going to do my best to share these type of posts at least once a month or once every other month. It will depend on how many blog posts I get up and if the weather is willing to cooperate or not (as well as if Colin is willing to take the pictures lol). While I love fashion, I am not standing outdoors in the winter with no jacket on just to get a shot. So as of right now, while the weather is warm and the days are longer plan to see more of these type of posts.

Colin's sister came home to visit from L.A. so we decided to do something fun that weekend. We went to Newport Vineyards in Middletown, RI. I didn't think to take any pictures of the grounds but wanted to share my experience with you guys as well as my fashion for the day.

Colin and I are huge wine lovers and attend tastings as much as we can. I've been to a few wineries in MA and think that they are such a fun day trip. I went to Newport Vineyards a couple of  years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. I really enjoyed the wine there and the vineyards are beautiful. They have a couple of restaurants onsite. They also have a brewery for people who are more into beer (or would like to check out both)!

It was the perfect day to go and be outside. The weather was in the low 80's and sunny. We did a wine tasting first where we got to try 6 wines. It did get a little hot in the sun doing the tastings but luckily they had canopies to stand under. We grabbed lunch at the Taproot Brewing Company which is part of the same building as the winery. I liked that you could purchase flights to sample different wines/beers however, I wish I went to Brix Restaurant instead. They just had more offerings food wise. One side note...if you are ordering the cheese board at either places; 3 choices of cheese legit gives you 3 little pieces of cheese lol. The last time I was here I remember getting more but things have changed a lot since then. We were really surprised when our cheese plate came for the 3 of us to share. It  only included  3 little pieces of cheese with some jam, nuts, and bread. Don't get me wrong; it was good but the serving was enough for maybe one person and definitely not three. On the other hand, the Bacon and Taproot Beer Cheese dip was amazing. Overall, it was a great day and I highly suggest checking out this winery if you are in MA /RI or visiting the area!

Hey Guys!
Today I'm going to share another outfit of the day! I did a quick photoshoot last month on my way to dinner with my friend Lisa. It was hot as hell so I was literally melting while taking these pics! I have been living in rompers this summer. They are just so easy (besides when you have to use the bathroom) and there are so many ways to dress them up or down. Light weight cotton ones are also great as cover ups for the beach! I went with my utility romper for this shoot. I linked some of the actual items that are still available and then similar ones below.

Hey Guys,
A few weeks ago I went to my brother's surprise 30th birthday party. There was a cute little patio area right outside of the function room. I thought it was a great opportunity for a quick OOTD photoshoot. I wanted to wear something casual but a little bit dressy so I paired a lace bodysuit with my favorite pair of jeans and wedges. I am seriously in love with off the shoulder bodysuits right now. You will see more once I upload and edit my most recent summer fashion haul. Both my top and bottom are from Fashion Nova but I will also link similar pieces below if you are not a fan of that site.

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!

OOTD: Spring Fashion-Floral Kimonos

Hey Guys,
Now that spring is finally here I am able to wear all the clothes that I have purchased over the past few months. One of the trends I discovered last year and am still loving now is the kimono trend. I got one last summer that I wore all the time. I've picked up a couple this year and will probably get a couple more. I think they are perfect for both spring and summer. You can wear them with jeans, leggings or shorts. You can dress them up or down. Wear them to work out out to lunch with friends. Anyways, I had the day off a couple weeks ago and my friend Lisa snapped some pics of me wearing this Kimono from Fashion Nova. I hope to do some more outfit shoots next week if the weather holds up. I listed exact items if I found them as well as similar items in the widget below!

OOTD: Cypriana Fashion Chambray Joggers*

Hey Guys,
It's been quite a while since I've done an outfit of the day post. Now that it's FINALLY warming up here in MA I'll be able to do more of these (I spoke too soon it snowed on Sunday ugh!). Today I'm sharing an outfit that I styled around a pair of Cuff Me High Waist Joggers that I recieved from local fashion designer Jaime Joseph of Cypriana Fashion. I wanted to showcase her chambray joggers while still sticking to my personal style and wardrobe. The joggers can be worn many different ways such as straight, cuffed, or pushed up as capris. I will link the joggers below. I will also link all the other items that I am wearing (or something similar).
