Restyled: Leopard Tee + Olive Shorts
Hurricane (or tropical storm if the storm weakens) Isaias is supposed to hit us today so I’m hoping the storm weakens and isn’t too bad. If you are also going to be effected, stay safe! It’s another restyling day here on the blog. Yesterday I restyled my deep v red romper and today I’m sharing a restyling of this cute leopard tee. I wore this leopard and plant print tee on here back in May. Back then, I wore it with black acid wash jeans and a boyfriend mustard cardigan. Now, with it being a lot hotter than it was in May, I wore it with olive green pull on…

Restyled: Deep V Romper + Fringe Cardigan
Last summer I wore this red fluttery deep-v romper in an evening photoshoot with Lauren. I wore it with a sticky bra since it is low cut in the front and low in the back as well. Later on last summer I wore it again but to make it more casual I wore a white lace bodysuit underneath and a fringed oversized cardigan and I loved how it looked so I made a mental note that I would need to wear it again the next summer (this summer) and take photos. So I did! Romper: Vici | Cardigan: New York & Company | Bodysuit: Express | Sandals: Vici All the…

July/August TV Binging
I’m back with more shows I have finished/am currently binging during this extra time at home. This time it’s a mix of shows that are new, re-watches, and just new to me. Also, I just took this photo the other evening after a long, hot, humid walk outside for some exercise. I had just got home and washed up and was cooling off on top of my bed, scrolling through my phone. I saw the sunlight streaming in on the wall and thought it looked kind of pretty and peaceful. It occurred to me as I was writing this that I could use it since you can see my bedroom…

Salsa Fresca Chicken
I hope you’re all having a good weekend so far! Today I’m sharing a recipe for Salsa Fresca Chicken. I found the recipe on Pinterest last year and mostly followed it. I made my own pico de gallo consisting of: red onion, lime juice, roma tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeno. For the recipe you’ll need: boneless, skinless chicken breast cumin salt black pepper garlic powder pico de gallo shredded monterey jack cheese The recipe also has you sprinkling fresh cilantro on top, but if you’ve been following me on here for a while you know I can’t stand cilantro so I left that out. The recipe is so easy, but does…

Blue Cinched Hem Tee
August already, can you believe it? I go back to work later this month – whatever that will look like as a teacher. I’ll let you guys know! Today, I’m sharing this blue cinched hem tee. If you remember, I have a faded tie dye version of the same top. I was going to wear this top the other day with denim shorts, but when I was pulling out my shorts from my closet, I saw these palm print pull on shorts and decided to wear those instead. It’s not often I’m wearing something that will match these shorts so I had to take the opportunity! Plus, if I have…

July 2020 Favorites
We’re already at the last day of July. Part of me can’t believe it’s going to be August tomorrow and part of me feels like this is the longest year in history. I only have a few favorites this month and I know I sometimes say that and then the list ends up being longer than intended. But, I really do only have a few this time! One of the things I did this month was float down the Delaware River for a few miles. It was my first time tubing and it was so nice and relaxing. It was especially nice to get out since life isn’t exactly normal…

Kraft Dressings
I eat salads either as a meal or as a side to a meal at least twice a week so when I got sent 2 new Kraft dressings I was excited to try them out. I got the Lemon Herb Vinaigrette and the Aged Balsamic. I’ve tried both and I like them both! The lemon herb isn’t sour, but does have a little zing to it. The aged balsamic is a little sweeter, but not too sweet which is good. Both are light and refreshing for summer! *I was sent these products complimentary, but all opinions are my own.

Black Floral Smocked Midi Dress
A few weeks ago I wore a light blue floral smocked midi dress . This dress is the same one but in a black floral. It’s one of those items that’s so good that I had to buy it in 2 colors. And good news – it’s currently on clearance for $31 when it’s originally $79! Hopefully the sale will still be going on when this post goes live as I’m writing it a few hours ahead of time. Dress: Abercrombie & Fitch (here) | Sandals: Vici I love the little white flowers all over the dress. It’s such a pretty and simple print. The slit keeps the dress easy and…

Feeling Tropical at Home
Did you have any tropical vacation plans for this summer that can canceled? I did not. I was supposed to go to Ireland, which is not exactly tropical, but really I just wish I could go anywhere at this point! Anyway, since I’m pretty much just sticking to my area, I thought it would be fun to do a tiny little tropical themed thing at my parents’ house. Now, it’s not a full-on theme. I didn’t make decorations or break out the tiki torches or anything, but I did make virgin pina coladas (a throwback to my childhood when we would make these all the time), wear a neon green…

NYX Correcting Concealer
I’ve always been intrigued by colored concealers that are geared towards specific purposes. NYX has 22 shades in their Hi Definition Photo Concealer line and I picked up the green shade which is supposed to conceal/correct redness. I have been using the green concealer for a few weeks now and first of all I have to say it is a beautiful shade of green, even though that probably has nothing to do with anything. It does lessen the appearance of redness from pimples and little marks, but it’s important to note that while it takes out redness, it doesn’t fully conceal. If you want to really conceal marks you’d have…
