Recent Finds at Loft + Loft Moms Day Sale

Happy Mother's Day weekend to all you mamas out there! I hope your weekend is spent doing all the things you love to do! I'm thinking that there will be lots of amazing sales happening this weekend in honor of Mother's Day. I know my mom loves to take advantage of a good sale. :)

Loft is having a sale for Mother's Day, and I have found the most adorable things from there lately! Parker gave me gift cards to 3 stores for my birthday- Anthropologie, Indigo, and lululemon. So while I was checking out those 3 stores at the Shops of Saddle Creek, I decided to pop into Loft. Of course I found more there than I did anywhere else. I'm excited to share my finds with you today, especially while they are on sale!

To get 30% off plus an extra 10% off, use code LOVEMOM at checkout!

Outfit 1- Top | Shorts Outfit 2- Dress Outfit 3- Top | Shorts

Dress- This dress is by Lou & Grey and super comfy! It fits true to size- I got a size medium.

Ruffle Shorts- I knew I had to have these as soon as I saw them! The neutral color makes them go with everything, and the material makes them appear a little dressy. The ruffle is my favorite part. These will be worn on repeat all spring and summer!

Flutter Sleeve Top- I have worn this 3 times since I got it! The flutter sleeves are just adorable! It runs a little big, so I sized down to a small.

Double Frayed White Jeans- My favorite white jeans of the season were restocked! They were completely sold out, and Loft just brought them back! If you haven't gotten them, I HIGHLY suggest them. Everybody who has told me they purchased them has had the best things to say about them! They are the most flattering and cute white jeans! I do suggest sizing down. Mine are size 27.

Embroidered Blouse- I have a thing with white tops. I love them. The rainbow embroidery makes this one a little different and so cute! This one runs true to size. I''m wearing a medium.

Pink Beaded Top- This picture doesn't do a good job of capturing the cutest part of this top. The beading around the neck and sleeves is adorable! This one runs a little big. I'm wearing a size small.

Eyelet Swing Top- Another adorable white top that is such a great closet staple! This one would be cute with pants, shorts, or a skirt. It's the perfect top to take you from work to play. I sized down to a small in this one.

Striped Romper- I am not typically a romper lover, but I actually really liked this one! It's pretty conservative and a great length! The tie around the waist is super flattering, and I obviously love the flutter sleeves. This one runs true to size. I'm wearing a size medium.

Do you have a favorite? I can't choose just one. My favorites are the striped dress and the ruffle shorts. And now that I know the white jeans were restocked, I have to add them to my favorites list too! Thanks so much for reading! Have a wonderful weekend!

White Dresses for Spring & Summer

Whether you are a bride, graduating, attending Baccalaureate, or just want a fresh new white dress for spring and summer, I'm sharing the best options with you today! I love a crisp white dress and have done some serious research on the world wide web to round up the cutest ones out there at the moment!

I have grouped them into 3 categories: Under $100, Under $150, and Over $150. I typically choose to purchase items in the first category, or maybe the second category if I'm treating myself. I don't make routine purchases in the third category. However, when purchasing a dress for something like graduation or a bridal shower, I do allow myself to look in the third category. Life's all about balance, right?! 

White Dresses Under $100

The white dress Ebie wore to her rehearsal is currently on sale plus an additional 30% off, making it under $83!

White Dresses Under $150

White Dresses Over $150

My Dress

Do you have a favorite? If I had to narrow it down to one splurge dress and one not as much of a splurge dress, I'd have to choose this one (splurge) and this one (not as much of a splurge). Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

April Favorites

I think I can say April has been the craziest, busiest, most fun, and celebratory month of my life! It started with Easter, then Ebie's wedding, then my 29th birthday, then my friend Kelly's bachelorette party in Orange Beach, then my 1 year blogiversary, then my friend Alexa's bachelorette party in Highlands, then my 3 year wedding anniversary, and my dad's birthday. Parker and I stayed home in Southaven this weekend, and it was SO nice to get caught up on life and spend a relaxing weekend with our pups!

But anyway, on to my favorites from April! I'm going to share my favorites first, and then I'm going to share my readers' favorites (based on my analytics)!

My Favorites!

Favorite Dress- My mom got me this dress for my birthday, and I actually wore it to the Florabama on my birthday when we were at the beach for my friend Kelly's bachelorette party! Love the color, ruffles, and tie. I don't always think wrap dresses are super flattering on me, but I do really like the fit of this one!

Favorite Top- I've been more of a dress girl this month, but this top is such a great basic to have in the closet. It comes in white, black, and yellow. I love the pretty eyelet!

Favorite Bottoms- Old Navy Rockstar jeans are some of my favorites, so I grabbed a fresh new white pair a couple of weeks ago. I recently found out that they came out with white Rockstar jeggings!!! I'm definitely going to have to grab a pair of these soon because they're selling out so fast- they are the most comfortable pants ever! Other outfit details- top | wedges

Favorite Coverup- Ebie gave her bridesmaids this coverup, and it is adorable! It comes in so many colors and is under $17!! Ebie's outfit details- bathing suit | sarong

Favorite Shoes 1- My mom gave me these before Ebie's wedding, and I have already gotten so much use out of them. I'm wearing them again this coming weekend for a wedding. They are the perfect heel height and neutral color!

Favorite Shoes 2- These yellow mules are a little different than what I typically wear, but I LOVE them! I have been so into yellow lately, and I think these add so much fun to any outfit! Other outfit details- dress

Favorite Beauty Product- One of my birthday gifts was a makeup lesson- so fun! I have a huge blog post coming soon where I am sharing all the things I learned. One thing the makeup artist continuously reinforced was the importance of eye cream. It helps with puffiness, application of underage concealer, and so many other things! Other outfit details- dress

Ebie's Wedding Weekend via iPhone Photos

Ebie and Patrick's wedding photographer was amazing. I can't wait to see her photos, but I thought I'd go ahead and share some (actually A LOT of) pictures I have from my little sis's beautiful wedding weekend!

Thursday

We kicked things off Thursday with a family dinner at Florbama Yacht Club! Our adorable cousin Mary Hanlon came and joined us, and then Ebie, Mary Hanlon, and I went to Florabama for a bushwhacker after dinner.

Friday

We started Friday with brunch, manicures, and pedicures thanks to Patrick's mom and aunt! Then we went back to my parents' condo and had Master Joe's sushi and some other delicious treats for lunch before heading out for a beach day! 

Outfit Details: My Coverup | My Sunglasses | Ebie's Swimsuit | Ebie's Sarong

We went to the church for the rehearsal, and then we headed to the house where Patrick's family was staying for the rehearsal dinner. It was one of the most fun and stress-free rehearsal dinners I've ever been to! Plus, they had the most delicious food- crawfish, shrimp, sausage, jambalaya, gumbo, etc. Such a treat!

Wedding Day

We got ready at my parents' condo! My mom's friend Kim did our hair, and Courtney Matthews did our makeup (blog post on all the things I learned about makeup coming soon!). The wedding ceremony was at Our Lady of the Gulf, and the reception was at Cobalt. Ebie wanted to keep it small, and she and Patrick invited mainly family and very close friends. 

It was supposed to rain all day, but we lucked out with weather! After the reception, one of my dad's friends and his wife picked Ebie and Patrick up in their boat and drove them away- a STUNNING exit! 

The after party was at Florbama, and it is definitely safe to say we had an absolute blast!

Our bridesmaid dresses were by Hutch. This exact dress is not available anymore, but they have some other beautiful options! You can click here to check them out. My mom and I both wore these shoes, and they were the perfect heel height!

March Favorites

I decided to change up my monthly favorites posts, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm actually keeping the part about my favorites the same, but I'm adding a section that shares what my readers' favorites of the month have been! 

When I hung out with some of my best friends last weekend, they asked me to fill them in on how some things in the blogging world work. One question they asked was how I get credit from LIKEtoKNOW.it. When people click on links in my blog posts or in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and purchase immediately, I will get a small commission. When people click on something and purchase later on or on a different device than they originally clicked on the item from, then I do not get credit.

I say that because I wanted to let you know where the info I am sharing in this new section is coming from. Some information I can see in my analytics is how many people click on the items I link and how many people purchase the items I link. I am not able to see who is doing the clicking and purchasing, so if you have purchased anything from my links, THANK YOU! I am so grateful, and it means the world to me!

Before I started blogging, I was confused by a lot of this. Now that I am a part of the blogging world, it all makes sense, and I am an open book. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask! Now, let's get into some March Favorites!

Favorite Dress 1, Favorite Dress 2 | Favorite Top | Favorite Shoes | Favorite Accessory | Favorite Beauty Product  | Favorite Bottoms

Favorite Dress 1- It was love at first sight with this dress. I actually tried it on at a blogger event in Memphis and walked out of the store wearing it! Love the blue and white stripes, smocked neckline, sleeves, and pockets! Runs a little big- I went with the medium because I liked the length better than the small, but there is extra fabric in the bottom part.

Favorite Dress 2- The colors of this dress are so pretty, and I love the classic style. It's the perfect dress for any event this spring! Runs true to size- I'm wearing a medium. Other outfit details: earrings | crossbody bag

Favorite Top- I shared this top in a picture on Instagram (paired with pink jeans), and it's fabulousness was not even done justice. I was ecstatic to find this because I know it is one of those things that I will get so much use out of. It is SO soft and a great length to wear with skinny jeans or leggings. I know it will be a closet staple for years to come! It is also currently on sale! I want to grab more colors! Other outfit details: white jeans | shoes | earrings

Favorite Shoes- I saw these at a store in Memphis called indigo, and they did not have my size. But they are SO cute! My mom actually ordered them for me for my birthday! The heel is not too high, so I think they will be the perfect shoe to wear to all the weddings and showers happening this spring and summer!

Favorite Accessory- I have been wearing these earrings a lot lately! They go with everything! Other outfit details: pink top (on sale!) | white jeans | crossbody bag

Favorite Beauty Product- I mentioned this in my makeup routine blog post. And after hearing so many bloggers rave about this concealer, I finally purchased it myself! Not only does it conceal, but it also brightens up the area under my eyes. I got it in the color Light Sand. 

Favorite Bottoms- This is going to be an obvious one because I devoted an entire blog post to these adorable white jeans! I won't say too much because you can click here to get all the details. I will say you need to size down 2 sizes, and they are the most flattering white jeans I've ever owned! AND they are on sale for 40% off with code HELLO. Other outfit details: yellow top

Marc Fisher Wedges on Sale!

Wednesdays are typically my days off from publishing blog posts, but when there is a sale this good, I can't resist! I shared all about my favorite Marc Fisher wedges a few weeks ago, and I had several people tell me they wanted them so badly... but they just couldn't make the full price purchase at the time. Totally understandable.

Well y'all, my exact Marc Fisher wedges are on sale right now, and you can currently get them for $51 off!!! They are stocked in most sizes and come in 3 colors. This is extremely rare for these shoes, so if you've been wanting them, now is the time to purchase! The color I have is called Light Pink. They are the perfect nude to wear with basically any spring and summer outfit. You can click here if you want to check out the suede version that is also on sale! And when you spend $99 at this retailer, you get free shipping!

I actually wore these wedges to lunch with Parker today. I went to link them because I'm posting my OOTD (outfit of the day) on Instagram tonight, and I discovered this amazing news. I had to whip a blog post out real quickly to share! I'm keeping this short and sweet and ending it here, but I obviously had to let y'all know about this! I'd love to hear if you take advantage of this fabulous deal! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Can you believe Easter is this coming weekend?! Lots of people say Christmas is their favorite holiday, but Easter is my favorite.

I have been loving all of the pretty spring dresses coming out lately!

So there are actually 15 dresses I'm sharing with you today!

Dress 1 | Dress 2 | Dress 3

And I'm also going to link up my favorite self tanner for obvious reasons (see photo above). I am going to a blogger event on Thursday and a bridal shower this weekend, so I will be applying my self tanner before then. AND it's being price matched today, so you can currently get it for 15% off!  St. Tropez Self Tanner // Mitt for Application // Self Tan Starter Kit
