Blue Lavender Boutique

And the white theme continues...this time with a gorgeous background. I've never considered myself "one with nature" but this has to be one of my favorite blog shoots to date. I spend many hours dragging the man around Long Island trying to find places to shoot, and along with a lot of complaining, we found this beautiful little road down in a town near where we lived. Needless to say I'm still picturing the imaginary family that lives at the end of it with their wrap around porch and golden retriever. A girl can dream right?

The white dress pictured is from http://www.bluelavenderboutique.com and is a summer staple. I've worn it with wedges and as a coverup and its perfect (and only $50.00!) I will link some other great "boho chic" dresses below:

Gift guide for him

With Fathers day right around the corner I figured it would be beneficial to share some gift ideas for the men in your life! I believe that every man needs a good cologne, a designer watch and of course their favorite drink on hand, but after a while you run out of options and we can all agree men are the hardest to shop for. This post is featuring Sprezza box, which is a great gift to give any man in your life. Its a subscription box curated monthly to gift your man 4-5 items lifestyle and grooming items, and the best part is its only $28.00 a month. You can find them online at www.sprezzabox.com and on instagram @sprezzabox.
Below I will also link some other great items that I think would be perfect for fathers day!

Shoes: Aldo

Sunglasses: Forever 21 

A little chevron action

First of all, we need to take a moment of silence for how perfect these heels are.. maybe not everyones taste but I love love love how different and edgy they are. Not to mention they are from Forever 21 and are super affordable! Pair them with a girly piece like this romper and it makes a quick and fun summer outfit. The romper is from Francescas Boutique, also affordable and is extremely comfortable. Outfits like these are my go to for summer, easy to throw on and comfortable in the hot months (while still looking great). Make sure to check out Fran's, no matter what your style is I am positive you'll find something you love. 

A Welcome Back

Looking back and seeing that the last time I posted on here was in October blows my mind. My intention was never to stop blogging; seeing as how I did my best to keep up with my instagram over the past 9 months, but to put it simply life got a little more difficult than I was ready for. Many things have changed for me over this period of time, and although there were hardships I am extremely proud of the woman I have become. My life may now be hectic and 99% work filled but being able to say that I am almost 21, fully financially independent and starting a life with the man of my dreams gives me a self worth that I never knew was in me. 
Now that I am in a steady routine and am becoming more comfortable with my new life, I am excited to say that with the help of an amazing friend I am back to blogging as much as I can.
For the first installment back I am sharing with you this amazing crochet maxi dress from Bubba Janes Boutique (and its under $55!!). Its a summer staple for me, giving the perfect twist to the black maxi dress we all have in our closet. I will link the dress and the full website for you ladies below!
