Summer Sandals

June 23, 2016

hey all!
its far into summer now, and i felt like i haven’t done many summer style posts, and i have really been wanting to do one, so today i am sharing some cute summer leather sandals.
i have been REALLY liking these tan leather sandals because they are perfect to pair with shorts and different colored dresses and even a pair of black leggings. i’ve been doing my research to find cute summer sandals that aren’t too expensive.
so here we go:

  1. Lands End Laced Gladiator Sandals: $40, these lace up the whole leg, they would look great with some j.crew shorts or these ones that i love!
  2. Massimo Lavinia Slide Sandals: $20, these are a simple shoe FROM TARGET!!! that are just really cute, i love the detail in the front with the straps, and this would really look great with any white (or other colored) summer dress.
  3. Billabong Seaing Double Sandals: $45, i also LOVE these sandals from billabong, they are the perfect summer sandals, they could honestly be worn anywhere from beaches to the country club.
  4. Billabong Crossing Over Sandals: $30, these are perfect and i really love the white detail on it, it would be a perfect fit with a white dress or a little swim cover up.
  5. Jack Rogers ‘Maci’ Flat Sandal: $137, okay so these are a BIT more expensive!! they also jack rogers though, so it actually makes sense why they cost a little more then usual, but they are really cute and would be perfect for special more fancy occasions.
  6. Aeropostale Circle Perforated Flip-Flop: $8, i just think these are really simple and cheap. they are perfect casual shoes.
  7. Aeropostale Crochet Strap Flip-Flop: $13, i really LOVE the details on the straps, the simple white “crochet” (i guess) and i totally think that with a little t-shirt dress these shoes would really shine.
  8. Steve Madden DONDDI Sandals: $59, i really like the simplicity of these shoes, i think that the color is just perfect and screams “SUMMER” good to dress up or down, and i can attest to the quality of steve madden shoes, i absolutely love these!

hope y’all enjoyed!

Organization During Summer

June 16, 2016

hey y’all,
whats up?
i feel like dora omg, waiting for your response. so basically when school ended my life exploded you know, in a ball of fire. when this happened, i was just relaxing, reading me before you (which is a great book btw) and i asked my mom what day it was, because i honestly didn’t know what day it was.
it was thursday….already thursday and i hadn’t done anything that i wanted to accomplish, but i had watched a lot of once upon a time, enough for two curses to be broken (and if you know how much that is…its a lot)

Spruce Up Your Room for Summer

July 10, 2015

hey guys!

Today I wanted to share with you guys how I like to spruce up your room for summer! LETS GO!

1. Succulents/Terrarium Planters: I personally think that succulents and terrariums are the bomb. They are pretty plants with basically no maintanence so they are great decorations! Here is the terrarium pictured.

2. Nail Polish Storage: Okay, you guys are going to think this is crazy, but I actually think that this Nail Polish Storage is really cute and stylish. So I own WAYYY to many nail polishes, but I think just organizing the colors and puting them on my night table is just really cute! Here is where you can buy this. 

3. Throw Pillows: This is such an easy way to make your room summery! I just pair cute quirky pillows that match with my plain pink duvet! I paired these two pink pillows and they match so well! Hello Beautiful Pillow and Flamingo Pillow.

4. Picture Hangers: This is just a simple way to decorate your room and add a little personal touch. I love to print pictures of me and my friends on this! Here it is.

I hope you guys enjoy this! And Comment if you like any of these ideas, or tag me on a photo on instagram if you do any of these things!

So I know summer isn’t really a gift giving season, but there are plenty of birthdays, and its harder to find gifts! here we go:

1. Shoes are always a good option! I like these Jack Rogers and these Heels. These are both very summery shoes, so they can practically open their gift and put them on!

2. Summery iPhone Cases are also great! I like these three (1) (2) (3) These are another one of those things that are perfect for summer, just open and put on your phone.
