Swim Trend: The One-Piece

Happy Tuesday!! Today's post is about the latest swimwear trend - the one-piece bathing suit!! Of course bikinis will never go out of style, but with the one-suit trending now, it's brought about another good option for women.

One-piece suits started trending last summer and are back again this summer. Traditionally, when I think of one-pieces I picture the solid color suit I used to wear for swim team. Nothing fancy, no trendy details, and definitely not prints. I also pictured only moms wearing one-piece suits. Thankfully, all that has changed. One-pieces are colorful, have trendy cuts, and are worn by women of all ages from their 20s and on and body type doesn't matter!

I'm headed to the beach in a couple of days with my family and am so thankful that one-pieces are trending. As a young mom, I love that I can wear a suit that still makes me feel confident and attractive and yet I'm covered enough that I can run around with my toddlers on the beach and not have to worry about anything falling out. We've rounded up our favorites below, so happy shopping and be sure to let us know which one is your favorite!!

Pom Pom Perfection

Happy Thursday, friends!! I hope you're all having a great week so far and are ready to ring in the weekend with some of our favorite pom pom things! To me, nothing quite screams "summer" as bright, bold, colorful pom poms!

Whether you'd prefer a simple tee with a pom pom hem, a hat for your next beach trip, or some pom pom sandals to go with all your summer dresses, there's something for you! If you're looking for more ways to embrace this Spring trend, I found this Popsugar article super helpful and think you would too! Be sure to check out our instagram, too, to see how some of our favorite women are styling our pom pom accessories!!

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you all had a great holiday weekend! Is it just me or does it officially feel like Spring now? Flowers are blooming, families are going on evening walks, and porches are full for happy hour. I can't help but smile just thinking about warm weather and summer on the horizon! 

I'm sure you've heard me say it before, but warm weather also means the return of rompers! I honestly think it's impossible to have too many rompers. They are such an easy way to make a statement without putting forth any effort. They're comfortable, can be dressed up, can be dressed down, and or worn simple to lounge in. 

The other great thing about rompers is that you don't have to spend a fortune on them. All of the ones I've rounded up above are well-made, on-trend, and under $50! I personally love the pink floral off the shoulder romper and think the black romper looks so incredibly comfortable. Which one is your favorite? 

SALE ALERT: Spring Essentials for Less

Happy Hump Day!! How is your week going so far? Ours has been crazy busy, but that doesn't mean we didn't have time to do a little sale shopping. This week is actually a great week for sale shopping.

We've listed all of our favorites below for you to shop - simply click the image and you'll be taken directly to the item! How's that for efficient sale shopping? 

Gingham for Every Gal

Gingham season is finally here and you can't miss it!! We're seeing gingham in everything from bathing suits to shoes to clothes. The neat thing about a trend like this is that you can so easily adapt it to your style and to your body type. I tend to gravitate toward the more feminine gingham pieces, but there really is something for everyone whether it's a skirt, a pair of ruffle shorts, or a tailored button down.

Another nice thing about a trend that's a print like gingham rather than a certain cut or style of clothing is that you can easily find a piece that fits in your budget. Because we like a good deal, too, we've rounded up our favorite gingham items under $100 for you to shop below! Happy shopping and happy Monday!

A Dress So Nice We Styled It Twice

spring: dress (comes in multiple colors) // denim jacket // wedges (under $100) // embroidered pom pom clutch // pom pom earrings // tassel necklace

summer: dress // straw confetti pom pom clutch // tassel drop earrings // pom drop earrings // sandals

Happy Hump Day! Today's post is all about how to take your clothing from Spring to Summer. One of the easiest ways to save money on clothes, but still stay on trend is to opt for basics. Once you have some good basics to work with like the dress pictured above, you style it to your liking and let your accessories do the talking!

Let's take this coral dress for example. Although bright and cheery, this dress is a solid color, which is key when stalking up on basics; avoid loud prints and opt for solids, you'll get more wear out of them. Starting with a blank canvas allows you to create whatever look you're going for. 

For example, for Spring we added some fun wedges and a denim jacket for those cooler nights. We added a bright clutch as a nod to warmer weather on the horizon, and then made the finishing touches with some fun earrings and tassel necklace. For Summer, we went with an easier beach look by adding some fun sandals, a straw clutch, and some statement earrings. 

These are just two ways to style this dress, but the possibilities are endless! How would you style this dress? 

Spring's Most Popular, Most Affordable Wedges

Happy Monday!! I hope you all had an amazing weekend and are rested and rejuvenated for the week ahead! We're ready to tackle the week head on, but not without a cute pair of shoes!! 

Speaking of shoes, one could argue that wedges are the best spring/summer shoe! For starters, they can be worn at any age. If you're in your 20s you can opt for a more drastic, taller wedge and if you're older, you can opt for a flatter wedge, or a "flatform" as they're called now. Either way, wedges have to be the most comfortable sandal and they are so trendy! Whether you go the classic rough or resonate with the more vibrant colored wedges, there's an option for you!

So, we've done our due diligence and rounded up our favorite wedges under $100 and linked them all for you here. Let us know which is your favorite! We are loving the rainbow pair from Nordstrom Rack - the perfect shoe for Cinco de Mayo!
