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

Facetune_27-03-2018-12-19-56.JPG

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

Easter Essentials

Can you believe Easter is this coming weekend?! Lots of people say Christmas is their favorite holiday, but Easter is my favorite. In addition to it being the holiest day of the year in the Christian faith, it involves precious time with family, beautiful pastel colors, Reese’s eggs, pretty dresses, spring weather, Lilly Pulitzer, and Easter basket fun!

10 Things Tuesday: Spring Dresses Under $100

I have been loving all of the pretty spring dresses coming out lately! The dresses I'm sharing today could be worn for Easter, weddings, showers, dinners, church, work, etc. And I know this has happened before, but I couldn't narrow my list down to just 10 dresses. So there are actually 15 dresses I'm sharing with you today!

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

The picture below was taken after using my self tanner. A tan makes the dress even cuter! :)

Fun, Flirty, & Flattering White Jeans

Searching for the perfect pair of white jeans can be a daunting task. But y'all, my mom and I stumbled upon the best pair while shopping a few weeks ago, and I am SO excited to share them with you. I have to give my mom credit- she actually found them, and I immediately fell in love with them.

Outfit Details: Yellow Top White JeansWedges

I thought the frayed hem was adorable (and it's really in right now). And my mom pointed out that the material was thick, which is definitely a plus when talking about white jeans. Everybody wants white jeans to be flattering, and these certainly are! They're also high waisted AND the perfect length! But they run really big- we sized down 2 full sizes, and they fit very comfortably.

There is a sale going on right now, and you can currently get $20 off of these jeans (no code needed)! That’s not even the best part though. If you get your total up to $100, then you can use code FEB419CC and get $50 off of your $100 purchase. In addition to the $20 off of the jeans. Like, what?! I’m placing an order today for sure because they’re basically giving things away, and there are 2 dresses I’ve had my eye on! 

Also, that old rule about not wearing white jeans until after Easter is no longer a thing. I have been happily wearing the pair I'm talking about today since I got them. I think white jeans make any outfit look more put together and crisp. I wore the outfit in today's post in Nashville for Ebie's bachelorette party, and I can't suggest the top, white jeans, or shoes more! They're all so comfortable, classic, and CUTE!

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

10 Things Tuesday: Spring Things Under $100

I have a blog post about Ebie's honeymoon shower coming soon, but I'm excited to share a 10 Things Tuesday post today! These posts are typically pretty short and sweet, but it takes me a while to decide on my 10 things. I go to all of my favorite retailers' websites and check out all of their new arrivals. I put all of my favorite things in a folder, and the hard part is narrowing it down to just 10 things! I'm excited about today's roundup though!

IMG_4371 2.JPG

I wore the shirt pictured above in Nashville last weekend. I knew it was going to make the cut for today's post. It is the perfect top to wear right now while our weather is a little cooler than usual. But the bright and happy color makes it perfect for spring!

I paired it with my new white jeans that also made the cut in today's 10 things. I have so many things to say about these jeans that I have an entire post dedicated to them. It is coming soon, but I can assure you they are fabulous (my mom, sister, and I all have and love them)!

Can you choose a favorite? The coverup is the item that I want most! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

I'm actually heading to Memphis today to get my haircut, so goodness knows I will be stopping by some of my favorite stores and checking out some more spring clothes. I need to find an outfit for Ebie's Bachelorette party in Nashville this weekend!

But anyway, I'm so excited to share the things that I have found lately because they are SO cute (especially this pom pom coverup that I bought a couple of days ago)! And most of them are very reasonably priced! Win-win!

What to Wear for Easter and Spring Weddings

Hey Y'all! It feels like I've been away for forever. I typically write blog posts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I took a little break this week after a fun weekend at home with my family and friends. So I will just have blog posts Thursday and Friday this week.

When packing to go home for a wedding last weekend, I realized that I need to add to my wedding guest dress collection. I talked to my mom about this dilemma, and she told me that she had several friends looking for dresses to wear to weddings this spring too.

So, here we are- I have done lots of online research and found the most beautiful dresses to wear to spring weddings and/or Easter. I will include a separate section of white dresses that can be worn for Easter. When picking out a dress to wear to a wedding, the 2 rules that come to mind are: 1. Do NOT wear white. 2. Dress conservatively. Dressing conservatively also goes for Easter, but white dresses are totally acceptable for this joyful day!

I wore the dress pictured below to my friend Maggie's wedding last weekend. I got it when I was working at a boutique in Northwest Arkansas. It is by Trina Turk, and I have found the same style dress on several retailers' websites, but they are all different prints. I'll link them below the picture! I sure am missing my employee discount.

I have 4 categories of dresses for you today: 1. 10 Dresses Under $60 2. 15 Dresses Under $100 3. 20 White Dresses 4. 25 Dresses for $100+ My favorite dresses are of course in the last category. :) If you see a dress you love, but it is not in a color that you like, click on it because a lot of the dresses I am sharing come in multiple color options!

10 Dresses Under $60

Dress (comes in 10 colors)

Dress (comes in 10 colors)

15 Dresses Under $100

20 White Dresses

25 Dresses for $100+

Can you pick one favorite? If I had to choose just one, I would have to pick this pink dress! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Weekend Sales and Weekly Recap

I am back home this weekend, and I am so excited to see my friend Maggie get married tomorrow! Wedding season is in full swing, and I will be on the road just about every weekend for the next couple of months. It's going to be a lot of traveling, but I couldn't be more excited to celebrate some of my very favorite people and get to have lots of time with my family and friends! 

Today I have rounded up some of the best weekend sales, as well as my picks from each one! Dresses (like the one shown below), shoes, bags, shorts, swimsuits, lots of things. Happy shopping and happy weekend!
