This past week we’ve had gorgeous warm weather half the week, and chilly temps the other half of the week. Since it was unseasonably warm part of the week, I thought it was the perfect time to share how I dress down dresses. This Devlin Collection dress is the perfect example of a gorgeous dress that can be dressed down with just a few tweaks. I was lucky enough to win this dress during an Instagram giveaway that Elly from Uptown Elly Brown had while I was pregnant. I was so excited to wear this after the baby came. Hooray it fits now!! Okay so, lets get started on some tips on how you can dress down almost any dress in your closet.

How to dress down a dress in 5 easy steps

Add a denim jacket or cardigan. Denim is a more casual fabric so it will take the outfit from dressy to a more casual look.
For all my ladies that still want a shoe that gives them a little height opt for a cute wedge bootie. This will add height, and give still give a more casual feeling to an outfit.
Wear sneakers instead of stilettos. This will give a really casual cute vibe.I’m really liking how a lot of people are wearing Converse with dresses now. It’s such a cute way to make it casual without giving up style. I love this look during spring and summer!!
Wear minimal jewelry, and leave the really glitzy blingy (I hope this is a word!! It is in my world!!) jewelry at home.
Keep the makeup and hair pretty natural looking.

In other news, this lady had an impromptu date night the day my hubby took these photos of this dress. I thought we were walking back to the car, and he said lets have a quick sushi date. I was so excited, but a little worried because my MIL was watching both our babies. My son is technically a toddler, and has a lot of energy. He loves running around the house. Seriously where does this energy they have come from? I could use some of my sons energy like everyday!! Thankfully my MIL said he was really good for her. She’s been here for almost two weeks, and has seriously been a life saver. It’s also been so nice having another adult at the house to talk to. I am seriously love the company!! Thankfully she’ll be back for my sons birthday in February!!

On another note, have any of y’all gotten your baby girls ears pierced before? I’m new to this. I know my mom had mine pierced when I was just a baby, and want carry on the tradition with my Sofi girl. Any advice or suggestion where you went etc. is really appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!!

It’s All About Hearts On Valentines

January 24, 2017

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 /9

Hearts are one of my favorite shapes, and Valentines is all about some hearts. I’ve rounded up my favorite heart themed clothing and accessories. I really wish I had one of each of these in my closet. I especially love the sweatshirt with the hearts on the elbows, and the Wine Valentines sweatshirt is so cute. It also, looks really soft. Heart shaped sunglasses are so cute, and the ones I linked are under $15. I don’t like to spend a lot on trendy accessories that I won’t get much wear after February 14th. Everything listed is less than $100. The heart sweatshirt I would definitely wear after Valentines though. I love the shade of red.

In other news, my little monkey was invited to his first Valentines party. I’m excited for him to get to hangout with other kids because he’s with me almost all day. Which I love, but we all need time around friends.

What’s your favorite Valentines themed clothing?

Valentines Gift Ideas Under $50 For Her

January 18, 2017

Valentine is about three weeks away!! Holy moly 2017 already feels like it’s flying by. Okay, so I’ve linked nine of my favorite Valentines gifts for her that aren’t going to put your guy in the poor house. Everything is under $50 that I want. Well, of course there are things over $50 that I would love, but this momma is on a budget. So, let’s get started with all the things wish list related. I should probably forward this to my hubby as well!!

1.This Paula’s Choice Resist C15 Super Booster is something I really want to try. It’s a really concentrated Vitamin C that improves skin complexion, brightens dull skin, and helps with the effects of the environment. I love that it can be added to your normal moisturizer, or serums you’re already using. Just add a few drops to whatever you’re using already. Seriously want to try this!! So this is perfect for us ladies!! Can I say spa day at home!! Pampering!!

2.The BaubleBar Andra Crystal Choker is gorgeous!! I love that it sparkles, and would be perfect for a dressed up or down outfit. It would elevate any casual outfit, and add a little extra sparkle to a dressier outfit.

3. I am in love with this Acrylic Block Monogram Necklace!! I want this for my monogram collection pretty please. If you want this by Valentines ordered it today!! Since it’s personalized it will take little longer than everything else on the Valentines gift guide!!

4. These Tassel Earrings are gorgeous!! I love the gorgeous bead color, and that they add a little extra glamour to any outfit. This gorgeous blue color has already sold out, but they come in red, and a red and pink ombre combination as well. Love them all!! Order them soon since they are selling out quickly!!

5.This Palm Tree Scarf had me at first sight. I love the color combination of green, white, and pink. It’s just so pretty, and I can already imagine it styled with a neutral blouse, and skinny jeans. So snag this one asap!!

6.The crawler earring trend is going strong, and I love these Crystal Triangle Crawlers. They feel glamorous, and edgy at the same time.

7.This Travel Train Case/Travel Makeup Bag is perfect for the gal that travels a lot, or is on the go all the time. As a blogger, we have lots of events so I love it because I definitely need to touch up on the go, and sometimes it needs a little touching up, and sometimes it needs a whole lot of touching up love!! It never hurts to have a carry on bag of goodies to freshen up with right? It comes in a lot of different colors too!!

8.Lately, I’ve been loving Rose water anything!! It might have to do with an infused Rose water Champagne cocktail I had not too long ago. This Hibiscus Infused Rose Water Mist is the perfect hint of rose, and such an amazing refresher for the skin. Also, rose anything goes perfectly with Valentines!!

9.These cute aviator sunnies are such a cute look a like to some of the pricier ones. Plus if they get lost it isn’t heart breaking since they are a whopping $12!!

Alright, I think I’ve got you covered with some great Valentines gift ideas under $50. What’s even sweeter since they are all at various price points you can ask for a few of the gifts on this list. Might as well combine a few items you like, and forward it to your guy or gal!! Happy Valentines shopping y’all!!
