I have to say I love the country lifestyle but I can’t help but love the cityscapes of the city. I absolutely love the tall buildings and the background of the water. It was beautiful and the sunshine was perfect for my day spent downtown. I wore my favorite sundress accented with the front ruffle from Original Piece Boutique and paired it with my lightweight sweater that was nautical inspired to go with the nautical downtown vibes. I paired it with my favorite Aldo sandals that I literally have worn so much they have holes in them. I got them…

It’s Spring and that means it’s time to start your spring nail designs!I just did this ‘Spring Fling’ nail design last night and I love how the flowers look! It was actually a really simple design! All you need if a toothpick or a nail pen to create the ‘dotted’ look. I picked fun bright spring colors to do three different flowers but you can do as many or as little as one color for the nails design!For my Topcoat I did my favorite ‘Northern Lights’ that added an extra shimmer to the look! I love the topcoat because it…

Okay so I’ve been busy looking at all the different spring styles and I found this floral romper online from Original Piece Boutique (www.ShopOriginalPiece.com)! The gorgeous print is my favorite and the mix of blue and hot pink hues makes this romper a definite favorite! Plus, it’s an open back which I could either pair a banodo with or add a denim jacket! Add your favorite wedges or flats and this romper does the talking! I could even add my denim jacket or white blazer to give this romper a whole other look! So what do you guys think? Should…

Just a Monogram Girl living in her world. That’s right I admit I’m a huge fan of the monogrammed trend. I don’t monogram everything, but I do like a simple monogram accent occasionally when I’m going for the preppy trend. I absolutely can’t get enough of this Jane Basch monogramed necklace! It’s my favorite and the only monogram necklace I wear. I love it in the gold because it always dresses up even the most casual of my outfits. I usually wear it out when I go out with friends or for an occasion! I’m definitely wanting to add to…

So it’s springtime and that means it’s time to pull out all your favorite springtime outfits to rock! I just got this new solid white high/low from Original Piece Boutique. It was the last one and I couldn’t refuse getting it especially when I saw it was my size! It turned out to be a little chilly out the day I decided to wear it so I decided to add a bright color with this hot pink cardigan from Target! It went perfect with my dress, since my dress wasn’t pattern and was a neutral color! I paired it with…

I finally got a chance to wear this ‘Hello, Spring’ Outfit yesterday, which ended up paring perfectly with my new white blazer! I have to say I love the white blazer trend for spring. I’m wearing it again today because it pairs perfect over spring dresses and give it a nice sophisticated touch! I also got a chance to wear my new Aldo sandals I got on sale at DSW, which are so comfortable! They’re a rose gold sparkle and are so comfortable for spring! They go with all my outfits! I can even wear them out because the color…

So today I took a long stroll outside and headed home when it reached sunset. It gave me time to clear my head and just enjoy finally a nice sunny day. I could hear the birds chirp and sound of my own thoughts. As I walked back, my shoes in my hand, because let’s admit high heels aren’t always the most comfortable thing to wear, especially on a walk… 😉 I started to think that you don’t always have to follow the path that ‘you’ think is right. Sometimes you have to take the road less traveled because admit it, it…

Today is Leap Day and what better way to ‘Leap into’ the Leap Year than with a fun moment in yoga class! 🙂 The weather was perfect today and I couldn’t wait to celebrate leap day that only comes around every 4 years today. I decided to just take a ‘leap of faith’ in to the year and see what life has in store for me. I can’t wait to see what the year brings. So close your eyes and jump or ‘leap’ and let’s get started into leap year!

So I decided for the ‘pre-oscars’ to do a gown what a jewel accent down the front. I have to say I’m a huge Oscars fan! I love all the gowns and usually watch the entire red carpet with all the celebrities. I have to say some of their outfits I would never consider wearing, but some are so stunning I would love to just try them on (as I’m sure you guys would too!) 🙂 So I got Oscars inspired while I was getting ready and decided let’s go ‘preoscars gown’! I found this dress from Original Piece boutique…

So today I admit it was really chilly, but that wasn’t going to stop me from having a beach day! I decided to wear my new duck boot Sperry’s which I love! They have a lining on the inside that keeps your feet so warm! I paired them with simple black leggings and my oversized sweatshirt that is monogramed from Marley&Lilly. I also wore my new statement necklace from Forever21 that I got for only $8! I went for the preppy, yet laid back vide for my beach day today! The weather was amazing. Truly if it wasn’t so cold…

Because it’s Throwback Thursday I decided to post a throwback photo BEFORE there were selfies of course! 🙂 If you follow me on instagram you guys know I love selfies! So I decided for TBT to post a baby 90s photo! I loved the 90s style then and I still do! 🙂 What’s your favorite Throwback Thursday moment?!

It’s springtime and it’s time to do some fun flirty beach styles. I’m always up for a hair challenge. But as you know my hair is so straight… no I don’t straighten it… so it makes it hard to sometimes do the cute fun styles you see and love on pinterest. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEcPtNx_frY] I decided to search on Youtube because that’s where I always go ‘Tutorial Shopping.’ I stumble upon this video and knew I had to share it with you all! I was able to do all these easy fun styles so I knew even if you were like me…
