The shower dress hunt.

Finding the perfect dress for my impending bridal shower is proving to be a more difficult task than finding a wedding dress! While I almost accidentally stumbled upon my dream wedding dress, I’ve been on the hunt for weeks trying to find the perfect spring-time party dress to wear to the shower. I think I tried on almost 30 dresses in a post-work shopping session on Monday night and went home empty-handed, so my next step is to some online options from this suite of coral pink dresses I ordered online. I need all the help I can get: which one gets your vote?

5 Under $50: Electric Pink

This week’s 5 under $50 couldn’t be contained to just 5 — I had to add in one extra item because there are so many fun neon pieces out for Summer. Hot pink pairs perfectly with a white tee and a beach-y glow, don’t you think? Are you playing with electric pink in your wardrobe this season?

Bathing Suit top ($20) and bottom ($20), necklace ($28), BaubleBar earrings ($34), belt ($10), Old Navy flip flops ($15), J.Crew canvas tote ($36)

Red, white, and bubbly.

Have you seen this new limited edition Chandon bottle for Summer? I’m making it my mission to find some to pop on the Fourth of July — and of course it would pair so well with a little red, white, and blue number. Peplums, stripes, and a little dash of red is a winning combination for a patriotic celebration, don’t you think?

Beach ready.

Are you counting down for the long weekend like me? Memorial Day is always a signal for me that Summer is officially here — which means days at the beach are just around the corner! Are you hitting the shore this weekend? Which beach look would you choose?

Preppy: tote, sandals, towels

Bohemian: tote, necklace, towel

Glamorous: tote, sunglasses, towel

Three pinks.

Sometimes I don’t realize I’m having a ‘moment’ until I look back and my pinterest boards and notice a trend in my pins — from the looks of it, right now I’m in a hot pink phase. I’m eyeing this super inexpensive striped sweatshirt (it’s only $17!) and those dip-dyed earrings are a DIY with my name on them!

Valentine’s day fashion

Valentine’s Day is just a week away! I won’t be throwing a big party like I did last year, but that doesn’t mean I won’t dress the part. I’ll find any excuse to rock my ban.do heart and break out pinks and reds from my closet. But not everyone is ready for a full on pink and red color assault, so I put together two heart-inspired outfits that are little more subtle. Do you have any heart accessories picked out special for Valentine’s Day?

Outfit 1: Sunglasses, dress, shoes

Outfit 2: Bracelets, dress, pins, shoes

20 Gift Ideas Under $25.

I think I’m finally finished with all of my Christmas shopping, but there’s always that one gift recipient that I’ll realize has slipped my mind just days before the holiday weekend. So, if you’re like me and need a few last-minute gift ideas, I’ve rounded up 20 festive finds that are on a budget — everything is under $25! The danger of putting these posts together? I’ve already done some shopping for myself: that polka-dot hat is mine!

From top left: pencils, whisk, shoe clips, initial watch, horse bottle opener, tart server, lobster earrings, twirl perfume, polka-dot hat, peace plate, magic wallet, pom-pom mittens, perpetual calendar, nail polish, volupsa candle, coasters, paddywax candle, heart sunglasses, notebooksred lipstick.

Soiree Statements.

It’s holiday cocktail party season, and I’m running out of dresses! My solution? Major statement pieces to jazz up my look and transform simple black dresses into a bevy of outfit options. These big pieces are all about balance; I’ll mix a chunky cocktail ring with large earrings, but pair simple pearls with the giant bib necklaces.

Chalkboard dots.

I have been walking around my apartment trying to decide where to paint a wall with chalkboard paint after seeing this amazing “after” on Design*Sponge this week:

It reminds me so much of the Topshop makeup packaging!

Topshop beauty.

Ok, ok, I know it’s supposed to be what’s on the inside that counts — but when the packaging on the outside is cute — I don’t even care what’s on the inside!

Kudos to Topshop for designing some beautiful beauty products… I hope they have some in their NY store that I can play with when I’m in the city next week… I have my eye on that lipstick.
