The smocked top is one trend I’m so happy to see making its return this summer. So comfy, hugs all the right places, and creates a flattering fit. I've been filling my closet with all the smocked things - tops, dresses, and bathing suits. I always go for the peplum, so when I spotted this smocked top at Walmart (love partnering with them for their We Dress America campaign), I couldn’t help but add it to my cart. I’ve seen similar tops at boutiques for more than triple this $10 price tag. While

I find a way to add on the layers with clothing, no matter the season. All winter I was about the heavy cardis, sweatshirts and Sherpas (partly because I can't deal with the cold, partly because there were so many cute ones), and right now I'm into the open weave cardis and kimonos (because most of the time I'm still cold haha). However, the temps are rising. And when it's too hot to add any more clothing, I pile on the bracelets! I just can't handle it when my arms are completely bare (maybe

I can't believe it! My kinder is done school on Friday....this Friday! And I'm out next week. I feel like I was just complaining about the frigid temps. And while I live for summer, I somehow don't feel ready. If you also have that panging "I'm missing something" feeling, I put together a list of some of my fav Amazon finds and ones that I'm eyeing. All ship Prime, so they'll be on your doorstep before summer (or that vacation you've been looking forward to) even begins.My summer essentials

Summer is practically here and my calendar is starting to fill up with fun! I have a bunch of baby showers, birthday parties and bbqs to look forward to in the next few weeks. Which means I also need to start filling up my closet with all the pretty dresses. I had been wanting to try out the Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara line ever since partnering with Walmart for their We Dress America campaign. The collection includes many fun dresses, including this beauty, that are perfect for all the summer

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know I’m all about the bling! I always have on jewelry, even when I'm just lounging at home. On workdays I'll pick out my accessories to go with my outfit the night before - I just don't feel put together without them on. Lately those accessories include a bracelet, or two, or three! Now that tee and tank top weather is here, my wrists are getting all of the love! I’ve been been wearing my Victoria Emerson bracelets non-stop (and getting so many

I can't believe the unofficial start of summer is only a few days away (my favorite season, and not just because I have an August birthday)! Warm weather, the beach, the pool, backyard bbqs, trips to get ice cream, fireworks, neighborhood parades...I love it all! Most of my favorite memories have been made in the summer, and I'm looking forward to making new ones this summer with my boys. Each year I add some red, white and blue to my closet so I'm ready for all of the summer holidays. This

My spring break is still a couple weeks away, but all my shopping at Walmart really makes me wish it was starting now and has me in the mood for a road trip somewhere warm! This entire look is Walmart Fashion, and it's all so affordable. Think I can convince the hubs to plan a last-minute vacay? Think my bro-in-law will let me borrow his Jeep?! I would so love to drive it south and explore a new beach. Speaking of the beach, I love kimonos this time of year! They are great for layering over

I'm so happy to be partnering with Walmart for their We Dress America campaign. I'm always on the lookout for cute, affordable outfits, and I found so many quality pieces with all the pretty details for spring at amazing prices. This entire look is Walmart Fashion! They offer free 2-day shipping on a wide variety of items on a $35+ purchase (all of these pieces included).Yellow tops are something I am always searching for this time of year (makes me actually believe it's spring even when there's
