I am madly in love with maxi dresses lately. I can’t get enough of them. I want to wear them all day long – they are so incredibly comfortable, and this one is no different. Made from the softest jersey like material, it’s comfy, soft, and flattering. I love how flowy it is. I visited my favorite park to shoot this dress, I felt it would be perfect. I just wish I had gotten a few more shots, but it was so incredibly hot outside, I figured gross sweaty pictures wouldn’t show this dress correctly. How are you keeping cool this summer?

I have been growing tired of my current glasses (check them out in a previous post). Now that I’m not really wearing contact lenses anymore, I desperately needed a new pair of glasses – just to alternate, and change things up. In comes MyOptique, featuring quite a few amazing retro glasses, and you know I am a sucker for retro/vintage style.

I was sent the beautiful pair I’m wearing in the photos, the Eliza by London Retro. I couldn’t be happier with them. I’ve been wanting a pair of cat eye glasses, and these are absolutely perfect. They are comfortable, and look great on my face shape (which can be hard!). They are really sturdy, and came in a beautiful brown case. You can bet that you will be seeing these beauties in many, many future posts to come. These have become my daily glasses, with my old ones as my back ups.

Can I also say that along with my amazing new glasses, I am completely smitten with this Robyn Rhodes ring?? It’s divine, and I need it in my life. I’m telling you – get in on RocksBox. You get to try out all different kinds of jewelry, like this gorgeous Robyn Rhodes ring, with the chance to purchase! Here’s an invite to get started!

This is my second style post as Brand Ambassador with Umgee, USA. I’m definitely loving this blouse. I couldn’t resist it when I saw it. I’ve been a fan of semi-sheer leopard print blouses for a few years now. I really love how this one has some color blocking, and a hi-low, a-line cut. It makes it really wearable and flattering. You may have seen these shorts in the making on Instagram a few weeks ago. I couldn’t bear to give up my favorite jeans when they got too ripped, so these denim cut-offs were born. I love them so much. Can I just say that these sandals are also one of the best shoe finds ever?? Super cute & comfy is the way to go for me. Plus I really like the zip up in the back instead of having to fuss with buckles. Easy peasy!

The humidity here has been insane – hence the weird blurriness on a few of my pictures. It’s really effecting my camera lens, which is making me sad. Sorry about that! There may be major, major changes happening soon. I can’t say yet, as everything is still in discussion, but I will share soon. It’s all very nerve wracking and exciting! Such is life!

It has been raining for just about two weeks straight now. Granted, yesterday we dealt with Tropical Storm Andrea, I’d really love for the weather to just chill for a little bit. I don’t mind the rain overall, but when it’s constant, it really effects my mood.

Life has been pretty action packed lately. I’ve recently started these awesome new fitness challenges, and I’m really enjoying them. Last month was squats (though I did carry it onto this month because I’m loving the results), and this month is abs. So far, so good! The hubby & I may be joining a gym soon – though I’m not excited about this (the whole gym thing is not my thing at all – I’d rather do laps around my neighborhood), it’s a good thing.

I’ve partnered up with Umgee, USA to style up an item each week from their fabulous plus size collection. Since Umgee, USA is a manufacturer, you cannot purchase directly from them. However – you can find their items on several websites, which I’ve linked to below. How cute is this gauzey dress with crochet detail? It is absolutely perfect for the Florida heat. Where you can find Umgee, USA items: The Florida HouseKiki La’RueStyles for Less, & Zulily

I’m also trying out RocksBox (c/o iFabbo). I’m on my second box, and I am much more impressed this time around. My first box I really did not like at all. This box, I absolutely love two out of the three items – now I’m just tossing around the idea of purchasing them! It’s a pretty neat program. You get one box at a time with 3 items in it, which of course is based off of a style quiz you take. You can return the jewelry by the date (free shipping all included), or you have the chance to purchase any of the items from your box. I’d say it’s worth a shot testing out – here’s an invite to get started.

Summer Must Haves

It’s summer time! Can you believe it?? I feel like Spring just started and it’s already June. This year is flying by. If you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been on a sort of, semi blogging break as of late. Work has been crazy with massive events, especially with the school year ending. I haven’t really had much time for anything aside from working, sleeping, and eating. I’m hoping to (weather permitting) shoot some outfits this weekend and get back to a regular posting schedule. I wanted to share some of my summer must haves this season with you, as sort of a nice fresh start to summer.

This is definitely one of the comfiest dresses I’ve worn in a while. I ordered up a size than I usually wear because I really don’t feel comfortable in super clingy clothes. It’s surprisingly slimming, which is nice. I paired it with this denim jacket, fringe necklace, and amazing ShoeDazzle wedges for a comfy, casual, edgy feel. I definitely plan on hanging onto this dress for a little while longer, and thanks to Gwynnie Bee, I can do that.
