Weekly Reads

Welp, missed last week’s “Weekly Reads” segment and we were only on week 2. GOSH! I’m the worst… Oh well, here’s to week 3! Will there be a week 4? Nobody knows…. haha. ANYWAYS. Like I promised, I’m going to start sharing some weekly reads that I find online- things that are news worthy, Pinterest worthy, gossip worthy, whatever. Just all around interesting.

Last week was a bit crazy- I survived my first week at my new job (more to come on that this week)! I managed to make dinner every single night last week, worked out twice, and ended the week with a girls night on Friday. It was perfect! Let’s hope this week is just as enjoyable, yeah? Hope you had a great weekend, and your week is off to a good start!

Summer Trend: Culottes

Standard Posted on by Leave a reply

“Culotte” is such a weird word, isn’t it? Not sure where it came from, or how culottes are different from capri’s, but whatever! If these pants are culottes, then I’m on board. Aren’t they so cute? I stumbled on them when I was shopping at F21 last week and I’ve already worn them a couple of times. That’s when you know you have a winner- when you wear an outfit more than once within the first week or two of getting it, because you’re so excited.

These are linen, which I normally stay FAR away from because the second you sit, stand, bend, move at all, you’re a wrinkled mess. So annoying, but I’ll make the sacrifice if it’s worth it, and these ARE. Plus, they are under $30 so it’s really a win all around.

Apparently this was supposed to be a two-piece set? Definitely didn’t see the top when I was shopping, but I do like it paired with a casual white T and flat sandals. These would also be cute with a pair of wedges or brown stacked heels!

Beauty Products I love- No BS

Standard Posted on by Leave a reply

I don’t know about you, but I’m often super skeptical of bloggers when they post about products they “love”. I mean, most of them were gifted the products and paid to promote them, right? I’m sure some of them loyally use the products they’re pushing, but you really just never know.

Instagram has become a favorite platform of mine to scope out and discover new brands and products. I think Glossier is one I first heard about on Instagram and I still have yet to try them! But what I’m sharing with you today, these are my ride or die products. The things I use every. damn. day. No lies, no gimmicks, no #ads. Nothin but pure, honest feedback my friend.

Let’s get into it, yeah?

How to style polka dot pants

Standard Posted on by Leave a reply

Guys, I have a confession. I’m obsessed with polka dots… In the last two weeks, I’ve purchased multiple items and there are no regrets. Though I have had to stop myself from wearing dots on back to back days! haha

At first, I was a little worried I wouldn’t quite know how to style these pants, but I stayed true to myself and kept it simple. A black top, white sneakers and a wide brim hat keep this style trendy, but it’s not too much. You know? I am curious how these pants would look with a band tee- I think that would be cute too, and a little grungier instead of hipster. What do you think?

I’d also like to state that I think these pants are a bit outside of the box for me, but I’m really into it. So much so that I also picked up a pair of striped culotte pants the other day (coming to the blog soon) and I still want MORE. They’re so freaking comfy and they make a statement with basically zero effort. Easy peasy, people.

How do you feel about the printed pant trend? Are you into it?

I’m going to try and start putting together a blog post each week where I round up some of my favorite links as of lately- things you’ll want to pin, things you’ll want to curl up on the couch and read or things you’ll want to share on Facebook. Catch my drift? Hopefully this is a series that you’ll love as much as I do!

So here we go!
