The Perfect Shirt Dress

The Perfect Shirt Dress

TGIF! I always get excited when I find something that will quickly become a staple in my closet (and happens to be under $100) . This shirt dress is one of them (see below for sizing). This is an easy look that be worn casually with flats, like these Tory Burch Espadrilles (budget friendly version here) or with a cute pair of wedges or sandals. I wanted to keep this low key so I threw on my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mab Tote and a fun panama hat and called it a day. This was a fun look for brunch last Saturday and will definitely be coming with me on our trip to Napa next month! Have you guys shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet? If so I would love to know what you bought! You can see my picks from yesterday here and I also added more below. I purchased this watch, I passed on it last year and have been regretting it since. Couldn't let it go again! I also bought these pink ...

Boho Vibes

Boho Vibes

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have been looking forward to today for the past few weeks because my team from school and I are meeting up for dinner. It's the little things, but I love my co workers and I can't wait to spend some time with them! I wanted to share a look from last weekend. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites! This Geo Print Tunic immediately caught my eye for many reasons. One, I don't own anything like it. Typically, I tend to buy more "classic" pieces, but I couldn't help but love the fun print and colors on this top. I also wore it with white pants and it looked so soft and summery. Don't forget the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts tomorrow for those who have the Nordstrom credit or debit card. This is my favorite sale of the year! Be sure to stop by tomorrow as I will have my favorites posted early in the AM. I will be doing a 5 part guide this year and I am excited to share designer finds, beauty finds (my favorite!) and of course things for you and him. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by! xx

Summer Makeup Routine

Summer Makeup Routine

After posting this picture to my instagram account, it was clear that many of you have been looking for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or are interested in a good summer makeup routine. Like most of you, I tend to lay off the heavy makeup during the summer months. Don't get me wrong, I wear it, just a lighter version than normal and it's usually packed with high SPF. These are the products you will find in my makeup bag. Unless it's date night or a special occasion, I like to keep it easy and quick. A lightweight tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, mascara and a few other products seem to do the trick during the summer months. Side note: for those who are trying to grow out your brows, I have been using Castor Oil for the past month and a half and I have seen a huge difference. It took some patience, but recently, I have been noticing more "fullness" to my brows. Highly recommend!  .01 Kiehl's Tinted BB Cream: I stumbled upon this product after researching tinted moisturizers for our summer and our upcoming trips. I didn't want to wear makeup to the beach, but I did want something with a little tint and a high SPF. When I got this in the mail, I immediately tried it and realized that it could be used more ...

Dressing for the 4th of July

Dressing for the 4th of July

After posting this off the shoulder dress last week, I am now starting to look for more dresses and tops that offer the cold shoulder. I love the look and not to mention, they are surprisingly practical for these hot summer days. This Navy Embroidered Dress has been worn on repeat ever since I got it in May. It has been the perfect dress to throw on for brunch, to the pool as a cover up, or just to run errands in.  I can't think of a better time to wear it than Saturday! I personally don't like to wear red, white and blue all at once, so this dress is the perfect compromise for a festive look without being too over the top. Psst.. it's also a steal at $45! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! xx     Outfit Details: Chic Wish Navy Embroidered Dress c/o | Gigi New York Hayden Satchel  (free shipping & gift with purchase this weekend only!) c/o | Target

Blue & White

Blue & White

With the 4th of July just around the corner, I have been on the hunt for what I will be wearing for an evening outside with friends and celebrating the good ole US of A. I love this Blue Blouse and if you have seen my recent instagrams, you know I have been wearing it on repeat! I am thinking this would be a great top with my white denim shorts and sandals too. I always like to make something (easy) but festive for the 4th! I have this recipe pinned and I am also loving these ice cubes for a fun look to your drink. I've made these fruit kabobs  and they are always a hit. I may stick to that and make those ice cubes. Like I said, I try to keep it easy- ha! What do you have planned for this weekend?

Summer Layers

Summer Layers

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a super casual look from this past weekend. I am a big fan of layers and I love that I found a thin enough shrug to wear during the summer. This Neutral Cardigan (also worn here) is a great piece to have as a way to change up any look or pair with a simple tank top like I did here (I have that tank top in 3 colors, it's my favorite). I threw on my nude pumps to dress it up a little and it was perfect for a date night to the movies. On a totally different note, I am getting really excited about a few projects I have been working on. Both work and personal. We moved into our first house last July, and (i'm embarrassed to admit) we are finally getting around to decorating and buying furniture. I can't wait to share with you all some of the things we are doing. It terrifies me to decorate and the thought of painting makes me cringe. I guess I just feel like it's so permanent. Which is silly. Anyways, be on the lookout for some DIY projects on my snapchat (username: theteacherdiva) and some interior posts coming this summer. Please feel free to share any home decor blogs, stores, or tips below! Thanks so much for reading! xx
